"Heidi is already driving me crazy." Cartman sighed.

"What is she doing now?" Stan asked.

"She just wants to do something all the time and I just want to go home and play my games with my dudes."

"Why do you keep going back to her.. You always complain every time she does anything a normal girlfriend does." Kyle sighed.

"Shut up jew." Cartman snapped.

"Dude, that joke is so old and it obviously doesn't bother me anymore. Find a new joke, fat boy."

Cartman moved to turn around and hit him and Kenny reached up, smacking Cartman's arm. "Turn around Dumb ass. Stan is driving!" Kenny rolled his eyes.

"Fuck you Kyle." Cartman whined.

"Fuck you Cartman." Kyle mimicked Cartman, "You sound like you did when you were a short nasally little fat boy."

"I lost weight you asshole."

"You'll always be fat to me Eric."

"And you'll always be a Jewish ginger to me."

Kyle leaned forward and slapped the side of Cartman's head.

"Stan. Pull over! I'm gonna beat his ass!" Cartman yelled.

"No!" Stan yelled back, "I already told the two of you that I will stop picking you up if you don't stop trying to hit each other while I am driving!"

"I hate you Kyle." Cartman crossed his arms in front of him and huffed like a child.

"I hate you too Cartman."

"Aww I'm so glad you guys love eachother. Makin' mom and dad, so proud." Marina said in a sweet voice.

"Aren't our babies getting so big?" Kenny went along with it.

Kyle glared at them.

"Keep being good boys and we will get you guys some suckers. Do you guys want tootsie pops or blow pops?"

"Shut the hell up Marina." Cartman groaned.

"No suckers for you." Kenny told him in a parental tone.

"You're going to have to sit there while your brother gets to eat his sucker in front of you." Marina continued.

Stan started chuckling.

"I hate you guys." Cartman sighed.

"We love you too, son." Kenny told him.

They pulled up to Marina's house first, "Bye boys! See you tomorrow." She said as she scooted out of the car.

Cartman threw his hand back and flipped her off.

She shut the door and flipped him off with both hands as Stan pulled off.

"Wait, weren't you going to Wendy's?"

"They called her into work today. Someone was sick. Wanna hang out?"

"Sure."

Marina unlocked the door and walked inside, taking her shoes off. Music was blasting from somewhere in the house. "I guess maybe my dad is home." She shrugged. She started for the stairs and Kenny followed. She passed the closed door and went into her room, dropping her bag on her bedroom floor. "I should probably let my dad know I'm home and not at Wendy's so he doesn't freak out if he hears noises. And then we can eat a snack."
Kenny nodded and followed behind her. Marina knocked but there was no answer so she opened the door.

"Oh my God Marina!" Her dad yelled in surprise, pulling the woman laying on her back on his desk against his body to hide their naked bodies. The woman's head turned and she was shocked to see Liane Cartman. Marina was frozen. Her mouth was open to speak but she couldn't find words or the ability to move her mouth.
Kenny must have stepped around her to see what was going on, "You're shitting me!" Kenny pulled on her arm and Marina stumbled back, he reached around her shutting the door. Marina was staring at the door blankly.

Kenny walked into her room, grabbing some things before coming back. She couldn't believe what she just saw. "Come on." He told her as he put his hand on her back and led her down the stairs. She numbly walked where he gently pushed her.

A million different thoughts were running through her brain. Would her parents stay together? Would she have to move?

Kenny opened the passenger side door of her car and she mindlessly got in.

He ran around to the other side and got into the driver's seat.

Would they stay in town? Would she have to choose between them? Would she have to lie?

The feel of the train tracks under her car brought her out of her thoughts again, he turned into his driveway next to his parents car. "You don't have to do this." She whispered. She knew that nobody really went to Kenny's house. It was a very rare occasion and usually it was the guys. Never to stay for long either.

"You don't need to be there right now." He told her softly.

He parked and turned the car off, running around to get her door. He held his hand out and she took it gently, he pulled as he helped her get out. And then he placed his hand on the middle of her back leading her to his door. His hand felt warm and big against her back and she was thankful for it, it was clearing up the fogginess in her brain. But now that she was staring at his front door, a whole new feeling went through her mind.

Was she about to see Kenny's room? Nobody that she knew of had seen his room since they were kids.

He unlocked the door and shoved it open, letting her in before him. The house was incredibly quiet. Even she knew that was unusual. "My parents must be gone." He said looking around.

"The car is out there." She told him as she took in her surroundings, they really only had the basics, all the things you would usually see in a house.

But it had no theme, and nothing matched. Lamps with no shades over them. There wasn't anything extra either. Besides one bright neon "BEER" sign behind the couch. No pictures on the walls, just cracks, crayon, marker and pencil markings in random places. "They must have walked to the bar then."

He let go of her back and started heading toward his room. She didn't move.

"Come on." He walked back to her, grabbing her wrist softly and pulling her with him.

"But Kenny. Nobody goes into your room."

"Karen comes into my room sometimes. Obviously my parents." He tried to smile at her but Marina wasn't showing any emotions.

"Nobody else." She whispered.

"Okay, so you'll be the first besides my family. Come on." He coaxed.

"I don't want to break the tradition." She felt sad, she didn't know why but she really wanted that moment to be special for him.

"Marina, stop." He looked at her like she was being ridiculous.

"I want that to be special for you. The first girl to see your room, to be really special."

"Well you were the first girl I had sex with, now you can also be the first girl that sees my room." He continued trying to walk to his room. She finally followed him, realizing he was right.

She expected the room to be a total mess and dirty. From the way Cartman always talked about it, he practically made it sound like Kenny lived in complete squalor. But, it surprisingly looked pretty clean for the most part. His sheets and blanket on top of his bed were messy but from what she could tell they weren't full of stains, they actually looked fairly new. He had clothes laying on things here and there. It looked like a typical teenage guys room. Sure there were things on the floor, some stains from growing up she figured, but it wasn't full of dirt and crumbs. It wasn't filthy at all.

His bed was to the left corner against the wall opposite of the door, and he had a nightstand next to it against the wall of the closet. The closet had one door broken. At the foot of his bed against the wall was a chest and against the wall to the right he had a big dresser, the drawers were sloppily closed. There was an old CD player/radio on top as well as a smaller tv, it looked like Stan's old TV from his room. He also had a wooden chair in the corner. He had posters in random areas, of cars and swimsuit models, and then some drawings on the wall that were done with crayon. Her favorite had to be the badly written 'Kenny' on the wall beside his bed. She felt sad to see areas where paint was chipped off and the wall was cracking.

He walked around the room picking up clothes and throwing them in a pile in the bottom of his closet. "I can change the sheets if you want me to before you sit down." Marina didn't care, she knew he wasn't having sex with anyone in there. She sat down on the bed, staring ahead of her at his now closed door. "Are you okay?" He asked, sitting next to her.

"I just don't know what is going to happen. How will I look at my dad the same again? My poor mom." Marina didn't mean to start crying but she couldn't help it. "They're all I have. If they split up I'm going to be even more alone. I don't have siblings to keep me company.".

"I'll be here for you. Anytime you need me." He put his arm around her shoulders and she leaned against him.

"Kenny!?" Kenny's mom yelled from another place in the house.

"In my room!" He yelled back.

She swung the door open, it crashed loudly against the wall.

Her eyes were wide when they fell on Marina.

"Marina?" She asked, as if she couldn't believe Kenny had a girl in her room AND that it was her.

"Hi." Marina replied through the tears falling down her cheeks.

"She's having a very very bad day." Kenny told his mom quickly, either to stop her from saying something mean or to stop her from asking any questions.

"Uh. Oh. Okay. Well, stay as long as you need I guess." She shut the door.

"What's going on?" They could hear his dad ask on the other side of the door.

"Kenny's got a girl in there. And it's Marina."

"Pretty girl Marina? His little friend?"

"Yes!" She answered him like he was stupid.

"Are they screwin?!"

"No, you dumb ass she's cryin! Leave em alone!"

"Hey guys! We can hear you." Kenny told them without moving off of the bed.

They quickly shuffled away.

Kenny's hand rubbed up and down her arm. Marina quickly sat up straight and pulled her phone out. "What are you doing?" He asked.

"Ordering a pizza on my dad's card." She pulled up the pizza app.

Marina purposefully ordered $100 dollars worth in pizza and a few 2 liters. She decided she would feed his family since she was inconveniencing them and also decided she would fuck her dad over for inconveniencing her. Even though $100 probably wasn't much of an inconvenience for him since he owned the local grocery store and a small business in his hometown where his parents still lived. But she knew it would still piss him off. Kenny sat patiently next to her, she looked over at him and he gave her a small smile that melted her heart.

"Thank you for getting me out of there." She told him softly, "I think I would have been in a way worse mental state being in that house right now."

"I was worried about that."

Marina scooted back on the bed until she was against the wall, she pulled her knees to her chest and hugged them. "I don't know what I'm going to do." She started crying again, "What if I have to move away and never get to see any of my friends again. And then have to deal with my mom being sad, all alone."

"Even if you move away. I have a phone, you can always call me or text me."

"Kenny you have your own life though. You're usually busy working or sleeping with someone."

Kenny turned around, scooting closer to her and sitting slightly in front of her, he reached up and wiped her tears, "I would always answer your call Mar. I don't care what was going on. I'd stop what I was doing to answer your call."

"But what if-"

"-what if nothing." He cut her off, "You are my best friend. Nothing I would be doing would be more important than being there for you. I know you would do the same for me."

She nodded slowly.

Marina's phone started ringing and she looked at the screen, it was her dad. She put it on silent.

Kenny got up and opened the chest, he grabbed a movie out of it. She watched him open the DVD player that was sitting on top of the TV and pop it in.

The doorbell rang and Marina scooted off the bed. Marina walked toward the front door where Kenny's parents were arguing with the pizza guy. "Look! We didn't order this damn food!" His dad snapped.

"I ordered it." Marina walked up to the guy, grabbing the receipt, she gave him a tip of $50.

Kenny grabbed the three 2 liters and carried them to the kitchen. Marina grabbed the five pizzas. His parents stood shocked. "You didn't need to do this." Carol told her as Marina placed them on their old worn down kitchen table.

"It's my dad's money."

"Won't he be mad?" Stuart asked, digging into the pizza.

"Oh I'm sure he will. But he's going to let it go because he won't want me to tell my mom he's a disgusting cheater."

Before anyone could say anything else Karen walked through the front door. "Come eat some pizza Kare." Kenny told her.

Hey eyes were wide, "Oh my God! Marina is in our house!" She ran over and hugged her.

Karen sat down next to Marina and started grabbing a couple pieces.

"We won't be able to eat all this before it goes bad." His mom said with a mouthful.

"You could freeze what is left and heat it up when you want it again. My mom does that a lot because it is just the 3 of us."

"Yeah we could."

Once they finished Marina followed Kenny back to his room. Kenny went back to the tv, "Wanna watch the Hot Chick? You need a laugh. And I know you like this movie."

She nodded.

Kenny's bed was a twin size, so it was pretty small. Marina sat at the head of the bed in the very corner. Kenny fit just perfectly beside her, though his shoulder did touch hers. She wasn't entirely sure if that was on purpose or not.

She had to admit that the movie made her feel a little better, but once it was over she remembered that everything was about to be different for her. They watched a couple other movies Kenny had until it was about 11 something. "I think I'm going to text Wendy. I don't want to go home tonight." She sighed.

"You can stay here if you want." Kenny told her as he stood up and stretched.

"I don't want to impose. I also don't have clothes."

"Just wear your jeans that you have on again tomorrow, and I'll give you one of my hoodies to wear."

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"Yeah. That way you don't have to tell her if you don't want to."

"Thank you for all of this Kenny, really."

"Seriously any time."

Marina stood up, "Do you have anything I could wear to sleep so that I don't have to wear my jeans?"

Kenny walked over to his dresser and pulled out a pair of sweatpants.

"Do you need a shirt too?"

"No, I can sleep in this shirt."

He nodded.

He led Marina to the bathroom and she went in shutting the door behind her.

She pulled out her phone and texted her mom.

Me

Staying at a friend's tonight. Love you.

Mom

Which friend? And love you too.

Marina didn't bother replying. She just changed into Kenny's sweatpants, pulling the drawstring and tying it to make sure they didn't fall. She threw her hair into a messy bun and went back into his room. Kenny's gaze moved to her and he smirked before looking back at the TV. "What?" She asked.

"Nothing."

"What was that smirk?"

"I've just never seen a girl in my sweatpants before."

"Do I rock the guys sweatpants look?" She asked, spinning around.

"Definitely. I'm going to go get ready for bed and I'll be back."

Marina played on her phone while she waited on Kenny to return, the shower was running so she figured it would be a little bit.

She was dozing off when he returned. Marina glanced over at him, he was in a pair of shorts and was shirtless, "Why are your muscles so big Ken?" She asked sleepily.

"Well at first I got pretty fit from working out for football but.. I don't know, I just have this fear that I'm going to have to fight my dad if he hurts Karen and I want to be ready."

Marina felt sad for him, "Do you think that would happen?"

"My dad and mom used to hit each other when they got drunk. Sometimes they still do. I don't ever know how my dad will be when he's been drinking and I want to be able to knock him to the ground in one swing if it happens." He shrugged, "You go on to sleep Mar. I'm going to be out on the couch if you need me."

"No." She shook her head as he covered her with the two blankets he had on the bed.

"No, what?"

"Don't sleep on the couch, sleep in here. I don't want to be alone."

"I don't really want to sleep on the floor, Marina. And this bed can't fit us unless we spoon."

"Spoon me then." She turned to face the wall.

She knew Kenny was contemplating what he should do, he hadn't moved an inch since she moved. Marina laid on her back to look over at him.

"What?" She asked.

"I just haven't spooned a girl in a while, especially to go to sleep."

"If you don't feel comfortable you don't have to."

"It's not that." He said as she turned onto her side again and he laid down beside her, his bed squeaking lightly as he moved. "If I get a hard on I am so sorry. Don't get all grossed out. I'm not trying to get in your pants, it just has a mind of its own sometimes."

Marina laughed, "I understand."

She felt him hesitate before wrapping his arm over her side and pressing his body against hers. Marina could smell the fresh shower on him, the smell of his soap, the feel of her back against his front, took her back to Token's party. She suddenly remembered every detail. It was worse than Wendy described. She did initiate everything, she remembered the feel of his lips against her neck and.. his teeth. She shivered. "Cold?" He asked.

"I danced with you." She whispered, still in her thoughts.

"Yeah.. you did." He whispered in a defeated voice.

"I'm so sorry."

"It's okay, you were drunk."

"So I did that thing in the car then. I didn't actually sleep like you said. I wasn't dreaming."

"Marina, babe, you were drunk, you didn't know what you were doing."

"Oh my God! I am so embarrassed." Her face heated up even more than it already was.

"Don't be. It was very sexy. And I was very flattered when you said that you imagined dancing with me instead of the guy you thought you were dancing with." He chuckled.

"Oh God... That is humiliating."

"Stop feeling that way. I flirt with you and hit on you all the time. I should be embarrassed about the amount of times I've checked you out these past two weeks. You're allowed to flirt and hit on me too. I know I am an attractive guy. That's how I get girls to sleep with me so easily. Just like how you know you're an attractive girl and that's how you got Mason to screw you in the janitors closet." Marina heard the smile in his voice.

"How do you know about that?"

"Mason is in one of my classes and he came in bragging all about it to his friend."

"Of course." She groaned.

"Babe, if you're going to spontaneously sleep with people, expect them to talk about it. Especially with their friends." Kenny laughed, his breath tickling the back of her neck.

"He wasn't even that good."

"Yeah, it obviously didn't last very long."

"Not long at all. I spent equal time getting my clothes and hair back to normal."

Kenny started laughing again.

"I'm not upset about how long it took him. Actually made me feel really good about myself. But he just didn't have a good flow at all. Felt more like I was just being pelvic thrusted against the door."

Kenny's laugh turned into a full belly laugh. She smiled, she always loved the way Kenny's full laugh sounded.

"I honestly barely felt him going in and out. It was like we were connected and he just moved our hips back and forth."

His forehead rested against her neck as he laughed even harder, "I'm imagining it." He wheezed out.

Marina laughed, "Try being the girl in the situation."

"Were you shocked when it was done? Like did it ever even start?" He asked.

Marina laughed, "No, I just thought that was the weirdest rhythm I've ever experienced."

They laughed for a minute or so until their laughter died down.

Kenny cleared his throat, "Poor guy."

"Poor guy for sure."

"Good night Marina." Kenny told her as he adjusted his head on the single pillow they were sharing.

"Night Kenny. Thank you again."
"Anytime. Really."
