Chapter 33
After hearing the screams, someone came to check what happened. A person saw the four teenagers there. Jordan and John were laying unconscious, while Wendy was holding Cartman. The man called the ambulance to pick them up. As soon as the ambulance arrived, they came and picked up Cartman and the other two boys. Luckily there was two ambulance trucks. Wendy was afraid that she might have killed those two in their sleep if she was with them. While the truck was going to Hell's Pass Hospitals, she was looking at Cartman. Watching the two paramedics tending to Cartman was hard on her. The two paramedics asked her what had happened, but she was unable to say anything. They still were working on Cartman.
Wendy soon said something. "I-is Cartman going to be alright" she was hoping that he would be.
One of the paramedics turned to Wendy. "I can't say Miss, it's too early to tell, I'm sorry..."
Wendy sat down, feeling hopeless, she hated how the paramedics were useless right now. She looked at Cartman and she silently prayed that he would be alright.
They arrived at the hospital. It was a code red, all the staff soon came to tend to Cartman.
"What's his status?" One of the doctors said.
"Looks like severe head trauma and the boy was stabbed in his left leg. We were able to take the knife off successfully and cover up the wound, but I'm afraid he seems to have lost a lot of blood"
"Alright then, let's prep him up" The doctors soon took Cartman into another room to work on him. She was about to enter the room until a doctor blocked her path.
"I'm sorry Miss, but you can't enter in there"
"Please doctor, I need to make sure he's alright" she pleaded the doctor.
"I know you care about your friends, but we need no distractions if we are to save your friend"
Wendy's heart froze for a second. The doctor just told her that Cartman had a chance to die. She didn't want to hear it.
The doctor could tell that Wendy was hurt and was worried about Cartman. He placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Don't worry, he's going to be alright"
Wendy looked at the doctor. Usually doctors would say a lot of lies so people wouldn't flip out and go crazy. This doctor had a look of assurance, that he was going to keep his word.
"O-ok" She placed her trust on the doctor now.
"Thank you" he then went into the room where Cartman was now.
Wendy went to a chair and she sat down, waiting. Wendy felt hopeless, that she was useless at this point, that she could do nothing to help Cartman. Wendy hated the feeling of being useless, she was always the one that made things happen, made peoples life a little easier, but to feel utterly useless was tearing her up. Wendy needed someone, someone to help her with this. She picked up her phone and called Bebe.
It was a few rings before Bebe picked it up. "Oh hi Wendy, what's up?"
"Bebe..." Bebe could sense from how Wendy called her name, that something was bad.
"Wendy, what's wrong?"
"I-I'm at the hospital right now..."
Bebe placed her hand over her mouth, afraid to hear what was next. "Are you ok?" Bebe was worried about Wendy.
"Y-yeah I'm fine, b-but Cartman... he's not..." Wendy was barely able to say Cartman without remembering how he looked.
"Ok Wendy, stay there, I'm coming, I'll get Kenny"
"Please hurry Bebe..." Wendy sounded so low now, like she didn't have the ability to talk.
Bebe hung up her phone. She quickly got to her car and started to drive to Cartman's house. She soon arrived there, due to the fact she was driving at 100mph now. She banged on door.
"Kenny!" Bebe yelled, hoping it would bring him there faster.
Kenny opened up the door, happy to see Bebe. "Hey Bebe how you doing"
"We gotta go Kenny, now!"
"Whoa! To where?" Kenny was looking at Bebe now, she looked panted and worried.
"It's Cartman, he's at the hospital now"
Kenny's expression changed drastically to a more worried look. "What happened to him?"
"I don't know Kenny, but Wendy phoned me that the two of them were at the hospital, and from the sounds of it, something really bad happened to him"
Kenny hated that there was no other information given to him other than he was in the hospital, but he knew that wasn't the main issue right now. "Alright then, let's go"
Bebe nodded. The two quickly ran to the car and drove to the hospital.
"Bebe, I need to borrow your phone" Kenny asked during the drive
"Why?"
"I need to call Stan and Kyle about what just happened, they need to know"
Bebe looked at Kenny and she knew he was right. "Ok then, here" she passed Kenny her phone.
Kenny was dialling Stan's number.
Stan was in his room, looking in the ceiling when his cell phone rang. He got up and picked up the phone. It was an unknown caller, Stan was curious who it was, so he accepted the call.
"Hello?" Wondering who it was.
"Stan!"
"Whoa Kenny, when did you get phone?" Stan was surprised that Kenny had a cell phone.
"Stan, that's not important"
"Ok man" Stan could tell from Kenny's voice that this call was urgent. "What's up man?"
"Cartman, he's in the hospital right now with Wendy!"
"What!" Stan couldn't believe this, he wasn't expecting to get a phone call regarding that they were in the hospital nor did he want to have a call regarding to that.
"Are they ok?" even though Wendy just broken up with him, he still cared if she was ok or not.
"From what I just heard, it seems that Wendy is ok, but Cartman isn't"
Stan was glad to hear that Wendy was fine, but he didn't like how something had happened to Cartman
"What happened to him?" he wanted to know.
"I don't know man, just come to the hospital!" Kenny told him.
"Alright Kenny, I'm coming" Stan got out of his bed, ran to his car, and started to drive to the hospital.
Kenny then started to dial Kyle's house number.
Kyle's phone started to ring. He didn't feel like picking it up, he still was feeling down. The phone kept ringing persistently, which was pissing him off. He knew he had no choice, he had to pick it up. He picked it up and was awaiting who it was.
"What?" Kyle said with annoyance
"Kyle!" it was Kenny's voice alright.
"Hey Kenny..." Although Kyle felt sad, he noticed that there was something about Kenny's voice, that he was in a hurry. "Kenny, is everything alright?"
"No dude, I just heard that Cartman's in the hospital"
"What?" Kyle was shocked that Cartman was in the hospital right now. He was wondering what the fuck happened.
"What happened to him Kenny?"
"I don't know man, but all you need to know is that you need to get to the hospital, now!"
As sad as Kyle was right now, he knew he had to stop being a bitch for a moment and check to see if Cartman was alright. "Ok Kenny, I'll be there" Kyle hung up the phone, and went on towards the hospital.
Wendy was waiting anxiously for Bebe to come, hoping she would come faster. She checked the time to see how long it has been when she had called Bebe, it had only been five minutes. Time, itself, was sure taking it slowly today. As Wendy turned to look at the door, she saw that Bebe and Kenny had arrived.
Bebe and Kenny ran up to Wendy.
"Wendy, what happened?" Bebe had a troubling look on her face, she saw that Wendy's cheek had some hand print of blood there. Bebe prediction on what had happen to Cartman now was even worst.
"Bebe..." Wendy walked over to her friend and started crying on her shoulders.
Kenny watched as Bebe was comforting Wendy. He had never seen Wendy cried before, and frankly, Kenny didn't want to see her cry. He remembered when Karen would cry, it tore him up, knowing that something was making her feel sad. While he was watching Wendy cried more, Kenny wished he was there to help out Cartman, whatever had happened to him.
Stan soon arrived. He went inside and saw the three of them standing there. He saw that Wendy was crying. He then knew Cartman's situation was dire.
He ran over to them.
Kenny heard some footsteps and turned around to see that it was Stan.
"There you are man"
"Hi Kenny..."
He turned to look at his ex-girlfriend, watching her cry. He couldn't help but feel that somehow this was his fault. Lately everything has been his fault really and taking another blame wasn't really going to do much to him now.
"Wendy..." Stan said, feeling so terrible after seeing her like this.
Kyle then arrived at the hospital. He saw the group and ran over there.
Stan saw that Kyle was coming over here. Stan turned his head away from him, hoping that Kyle wouldn't notice him during this time.
"Guys, how's Cartman doing?"
Kenny turned to look at Kyle. Kenny's face had a look of uncertainty of the situation, like everyone else in the room except Wendy. "I... I don't know Kyle, but it can't be good"
"Oh..." his face sadden a bit.
The group went to take a seat. Bebe was right next to Wendy comforting her. Kenny, on the mean time was looking at the hallway he knew too well, waiting to see if a doctor would appear and walk to them. Stan, on the other hand was looking on the ground, afraid to look up. Stan could sense that Kyle was glaring at him now. Kyle was still glaring at Stan, still pissed off from whatever Stan did to Rebecca that made her hate him. While looking around the room, Kenny noticed that Kyle was glaring. He knew why Kyle was doing. Kenny gave a sigh, he hated that Stan had still not apologized to Kyle yet, and how Kyle still hated Stan. Kenny felt that this was the worst time to happen, especially since Cartman will need them supporting him, and the hate Kyle had on Stan would not be making this easy.
Kenny got up. "I'm going to buy something, anyone want anything?"
"A soda would be nice Kenny" Bebe told him
"Alright Bebe, Wendy do you want something"
"No..." Wendy's words were barely audible, she didn't want to speak at all, but he could understand why though.
"Ok Wendy, but I'll buy you a bottle of water just in case"
"Stan?"
"No thanks..." Stan didn't look up at Kenny, he was still worried about Kyle.
"Alright man..." he hated how Stan wasn't even able to look up at him, on the account of Kyle
"Kyle?"
"Not really man"
"Fine then, but you're coming with me Kyle"
Kyle turned to look at Kenny. "Why do I gotta go, aren't you going to pick them up?"
"Well too bad, you're going!" It wasn't a question whether Kyle would say yes or no, he was going. Kyle knew that and had no choice now. "God damn it..." Kyle got up unfortunately and went with Kenny to the vending machine.
"Kyle" Kenny said in a stern manner.
"What Kenny?" Kyle could sense in Kenny's voice that something was up.
"I need you to stop being a dick right now"
"Wait, what?" Kyle was totally confused now.
"I need you to stop hating on Stan"
"Why dude? I have every right to be still mad at Stan, it's because of him Rebecca hates me now!"
"I know that Kyle! However, this isn't the fucking time to be mad at Stan! Cartman needs us now, and supporting him isn't going to work if your main focus is going to be getting angry at Stan. You can fucking despise him for your entire life if you want too, but do it after Cartman gets better!"
Kyle could tell from Kenny's voice that he was angry at him and Kyle couldn't blame him for that. Kenny phoned him to tell him to come and see if Cartman was alright, and instead, his main focus was to be mad at Stan.
Kyle leaned back on the wall, Kenny was right and he had to tolerate Stan until Cartman was ok. "You're right Kenny..."
"It doesn't happen often, so you know it's true when it happens"
Kyle laughed a bit from it, finding it funny and true.
Kenny soon remembered why he came to the vending machine in the first place, other than to tell Kyle what he had just told him. He dropped in some coins in the coin slot and bought two sodas and a bottle of water.
"Let's go Kyle"
Kyle nodded. "Yeah"
Kyle and Kenny went back to where the group was sitting. Kenny gave Bebe her soda, and Wendy her bottle of water.
"T-thank you Kenny..." Wendy tried her best to sound as loud as possible for Kenny to hear.
"Yeah, no problem" Kenny went back to his seat and drank his soda.
Looks like the whole crew is there. Except that it's at a hospital, sadly.
Hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I'll probably add chapter 34 tomorrow since it follows up with this one quite nicely and more fun is in that chapter as well.
