Chapter 2

Stan could not sleep that night. He could not stop thinking about Kyle and how horrible he had acted towards him. The more he thought about it the more guilty he felt. He had never treated his best friend that way before. Stan was also starting to think that maybe Kyle wasn't lying when he said he did not try to kiss Wendy. This only made him feel worse because if I was true then he was a complete jerk for no reason. He could not come up with a reason for Kyle to ever want to speak to him again.

That night Stan tried many times to call Kyle on his cell phone to apologize but no one answered. He even attempted to call him in the middle of the night and into the early morning but still got no answer.

When it was finally time to get up for school Stan got up exhausted from being awake and stressing all night to get ready. He tried one more time to call Kyle before leaving for the bus stop only to be unsuccessful.

Once he arrived at the bus stop Stan saw Kenny and Cartman already there but no Kyle. Cartman snickered at Stan when he saw him and said. "So I heard the Jew was kissing your bitch. That is so typical".

"Shut up Cartman," Stan muttered not looking at him.

"So did you kick his ass?" Cartman asked hopefully.

Stan didn't say anything causing Cartman to crack up laughing. "That's a yes!" he said happily.

"I can't see Kyle doing that Stan. You shouldn't of done that," Kenny said in his muffled voice.

Stan sighed. "I know but I saw her kissing him so I thought it was on purpose".

Then at that moment the school bus arrived and the three boys got on. Kenny and Cartman sat next to each other near the front while Stan sat at his usual seat in the very back with the absence of Kyle sitting next to him. Clyde was sitting in the seat just in front of Stan and when he noticed Kyle not there. He turned around and asked Stan. "Where's Kyle?"

"I don't know," Stan said shortly.

"Did you two get into a fight about him kissing Wendy?" he asked.

"I don't want to talk about it," Stan replied looking out the bus window trying to end the conversation.

Clyde didn't get the hint Stan was giving so he kept on talking. "You should not be mad at Kyle. Bebe told me that Wendy was planning on kissing Kyle whether he wanted to or not".

This sparked Stan's attention and he looked back at Clyde. "What?"

"It's true Stan, Wendy was so mad at you for not paying attention to her for such a long time that she broke up with you. She then kissed Kyle to make you jealous".

Stan now felt horrible. It was true, Kyle wasn't lying to him and now he probably lost his best friend. A few tears formed in his eyes and he turned back away from Clyde so he could not see how upset was. Clyde finally got the message and turned back around in his seat.

When they arrived at school Stan managed to calm down a little hoping that Kyle simply didn't take the bus and had his mom drive him to school. If this was true then he would finally have a chance to apologize to him. His hopes were crushed however when he arrived to class and saw that all his classmates were there...except Kyle.

The school day seemed to go on forever for Stan that day. The whole day he was either trying not to fall asleep or glancing every few minutes at the empty desk next to him. By the time school was over Stan had decided to go to Kyle's house to apologize. He quickly got off the bus and hurried over to Kyle's house.

He saw a police car in front of the house which made Stan more worried about his friend. He knocked on the front door and got no answer. He realized it was unlocked so he opened the door and peered inside.

Stan saw Kyle's mother Sheila sitting on the couch in the living room crying while Gerald was speaking with a police officer and also looking distressed. Ike was sitting in the middle of the floor crying as well.

Stan went over to Sheila and asked looking scared. "Mrs. Broflovski, what happened?"

Sheila wiped tears from her eyes with a tissue and said, "Oh Stan it's terrible. Kyle has run away".

Cliffy!
