"KENNY!"

"Butters?! Where are you?!"

No answer.

He ran throughout the house. Everyone was outside playing beer pong, but Butters cry came from upstairs. He sprinted upstairs tripping over his own feet every other step. He went through the rooms opening one by one skimming the area for the young blonde. He finally came to Eric's room. His heart dropped down into his stomach. He jiggled the handle multiple times. Locked. "Butters! Are you in there?!" He began to bang on the door. No response. He pressed his ear to the door only to hear faint sobs on the other side. Kenny backed up and charged at the door. He felt a pain in his shoulder but he rammed even harder until the door busted open. The room was dark…quiet.

"B-Butters?"

He heard a small whimpers come from under Eric's sheets. Kenny's breath became short and quick, his heart was beating rapidly. He slowly pulled back the sheets to find Butters bloody and partially naked. Tears stained the young blondes face as new ones began to form. Kenny was shaking, he didn't know what to do. He was scared to touch Butters, but he felt like he wanted to embrace him and never let go.

Kenny looked around the messy room for his discarded jacket. Once found he walked over to the smaller boy and draped it over his body.
"Butters…"
No response.
Kenny's eyes narrowed. He should have stayed with Butters, he should have protected him. His thoughts were racing 100 MPH, he couldn't comprehend what was going on. Guilt loomed Kenny's mind and he felt like shit. He detected a smaller hand tugging on his shirt.

"K- *hic* Kenny~…P-please hold me…" Butters manage to choke out.

Kenny's eyes widened at his words.

"A-Are you sure… I'm scared I'll hurt you."

Butters tightened his grip and nodded. The taller teen sat on the bed and embraced him pulling him into his lap. He felt the other boy quivering and would flinch at the slightest touch.

"Who did this to you?" Kenny softly whispered into butters ear.

Butters stayed quiet. Kenny could feel Butters tighten his grip on his shirt. Kenny began to rock back and forth to calm the distraught teen. He didn't want to trouble the teen anymore so he began to hum Fall for You by Secondhand Serenade. At the end of the song he felt the teens breathing go back to normal and that he was sound asleep. Kenny wrapped his pinkie around Butters pinkie making sure not to wake him.

'I promise I will never leave your side. I promise'
