Right Here Waiting

By: esmtz

The boys, besides Kenny, got out of the car stumbling a little as a few cars came to a stop beside them and someone had already called up the police.

"Uh, hello? There's been an accident here…"

Kyle held on to his right arm, blood slowly coming down from his shoulder. He looked and saw that both Butters and Stan were hurt as well. Butters sat on the ground; his left knee was bruised and slightly bleeding and he had a few cuts on both his arms from the window glass shattering all over him. Stan also had a few cuts over his arms, legs, and a few on his face. The man who had called the police went over to them.

"Are you kids alright? Where are your parents?" he asked.

Kyle and Stan looked at each other then back towards the man.

"Yeah we're ok, but…" Stan was about to say but was interrupted by Kyle.

"Look, we just need a ride to Denver as soon as possible," Kyle told the guy as he quickly made up a lie, "Our parent's abuse us a lot and so we're just trying to get as far away from them as possible."

"Aw hamburgers my parent's are gonna ground me for being gone for this long…" Butters complained.

Stan nudged Butters and looked at him and whispered.

"Shut up, Butters, or you'll give us away."

The man looked at them and nodded.

"I'm sorry to hear that kids. Sure I'll take you to Denver. Any place in particular?"

"Yeah, do you know where the adoption center is?" Kyle asked.

"Of course I do, kid, but are you sure you don't want to have those injuries looked at first?"

Butters was going to say something, but Kyle looked at him making Butters decide to not say anything.

"Yeah we're sure. Besides it's just a few small cuts right guys?" Kyle asked.

"Yeah." Stan replied and Butters nodded.

"Well, alright then. We'll just have to talk to the police first though and have someone come and tow the car."

Fifteen minutes later, the police and ambulance showed up and, to Kyle's frustration, the medical team went to go check on their injuries. As soon as they finished, the ambulance (taking Kenny with them since they found his body in the car) and police left and the boys watched as the car was being towed.

"Aw geez, Kyle, your dad is sure going to be mad with you when he finds out that you wrecked his car." Butters said.

"Yeah, dude, how are you going to explain this to him?" Stan asked looking at him.

Kyle just sighed and shook his head knowing that he couldn't think about that right now.

"I don't know, Stan, but right now I don't have time to worry about that. Cartman could already be far away from us by now."

"Hey, kids, lets get going. The sooner we leave the sooner we can get to Denver." The man said as they quickly got in the car, "Hey I just thought of it just now…which adoption center did you boys want me to take you to?"

"Huh?" Kyle asked.

"Well, there's at least 3 different adoption centers in Denver…"

Butters, Stan, and Kyle's eyes all went wide.

"Jesus Christ that many?!" Stan yelled out.

"Yeah, you didn't know that?" the man asked as he started driving.

Kyle didn't say anything as Butters started complaining about his parents grounding him again. After a few minutes Kyle looked out the window and watched as the rain continued to pour down heavily on the car. Stan removed his hat and looked at his best friend worriedly. He leaned closer to Kyle and whispered in his ear.

"How are we supposed to find Cartman now? He could be going to any one of those places and we won't know which one."

Kyle didn't say anything so Stan continued.

"Look, Kyle, by the time we find him there MIGHT be a chance that he could already be gone though I doubt that would happen, but there's still that chance. Even if we do find him and bring him back home he's got nowhere to stay. Let's face it no one wants him living in their house especially your mom. Let's just accept the fact that Cartman is gone and isn't coming back."

Kyle quickly turned and glared at Stan, grabbing him by his shirt and shaking him.

"DON'T YOU FUCKING SAY THAT, STAN!" Kyle hissed at him.

"I'm just saying the truth, dude. Besides what makes you think he wants to come back home?" Stan asked.

Kyle looked at him in shock.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you told him before how much you wished he was dead and that you could care less if he was gone remember?"

Kyle let go of Stan and went to look back out the window starting to feel guilty. It was a few minutes before Kyle finally responded.

"I didn't mean it…" Kyle whispered, "I never wanted any of this to happen. I didn't want Cartman to leave. To tell you the truth, Stan, I have never really hated Cartman. I always said I did, but it's not true."

Stan looked at Kyle in surprise. He didn't expect his best friend to openly admit that he didn't hate Cartman. Stan already knew that he didn't, but hearing Kyle actually say it really surprised him.

"Really? The way the two of you always fought it seemed like you did…"

Stan and Kyle jumped and looked at Butters who was looking at Kyle with a frown on his face.

Kyle felt his face turn red as he looked back outside the window again.

"Trust me, Butters, that's what I thought at first too…." Stan said looking at him then looked back at Kyle who still kept looking outside.

'Maybe I shouldn't have been so hard on him about Cartman. If it was Wendy that was being sent to an adoption center I know I wouldn't stop till I brought her back home.' Stan thought to himself as he placed a hand on his friend's shoulder.

"I'm sorry for what I said before, Kyle. We'll get Cartman back for you. You'll see."

Kyle looked back at Stan and smiled.

"Thanks, Stan."
