Sensitive topic Warning-someone gets drugged. I hate to spoil it, but I know how it can be sensitive for some. They do end up being okay.
Friendly reminder to always watch your drinks people! A couple years ago, two friends of mine had this happen to them on the same night and they thought for sure they were being careful the entire time. Luckily they are okay! But not everyone is so lucky! Be cautious always!
Marina pulled onto the side of the street in front of the house where the party seemed to be. There was already a ton of cars. Erica and Kenny got out of her car and she grabbed onto his arm as they waited for his friends to walk up.
"Nobody invite Cartman?" Marina asked.
"Hell nah!" Kenny laughed, "Heidi had him around her finger tonight anyway. Oh shit, by the way, this is Marina, Kyle, Stan and Wendy." Kenny told Erica.
"Nice to meet you guys!" She opened the front door and walked in.
Music was playing loudly and the smell of pot and cigarettes hit her nose as soon as she entered. She could tell why once she looked around, smoke was basically just sitting in the air. They followed Erica into the kitchen where a bunch of alcohol was sitting on all of the counters.
"Heads up. Don't trust your drink to be left alone, some shifty assholes go to this school." Erica told them.
Marina and Wendy nodded as they started pouring their drinks.
It wasn't long before Kenny and Erica were making out. And Stan and Wendy were off.
"Kyle Broflovski?" A girl asked from beside them, Marina and Kyle turned to see who it was.
"Lacey Pennoli?" Kyle laughed, they hugged.
"It's been years! You age well!" She laughed, "Is this your girlfriend?"
"Just his friend. I'm Marina!" Marina smiled.
"Lacey and I used to go to the same camp." Kyle told her.
"That's cute!" Marina laughed, "I'm going to go to the bathroom, you guys talk!"
She didn't realize she was feeling the alcohol until she started trying to look for the bathroom.
"Hi beautiful, you look lost." Some random cute guy stopped her.
"Yeah, the bathroom." As soon as she said it she realized she sounded stupid.
He chuckled, "I can show you where the bathroom is. Don't know if you'll be able to get privacy though. Usually you have to pee while someone is bangin in the shower or some shit."
"I will live, just need to pee." She laughed.
He nodded and grabbed her hand, leading her to the bathroom.
As soon as they reached the door, she mildly hoped she wouldn't be walking in on Kenny and Erica.
He opened the door and two strangers were definitely going at it on the counter.
"Don't mind me, just gotta pee." She told them focusing on the toilet.
She peed and hurried out.
"They didn't even budge." She laughed.
"That's how it goes. Thirsty?"
"Yes!" She smiled at him.
"Come on cutie, let's go get some alcohol." He winked at her.
"So where do you go to school?" He asked as he poured some liquor into a cup for her.
"South Park."
"No shit. We played you guys tonight."
"Yep." She giggled.
"Wait a minute. Hold your hair in a ponytail real quick."
She pulled her hair up into a pony with her hands, "That's why you look familiar. You were one of the cheerleaders over there. You had a couple of us actin a fool girl. You and that red headed girl. Did she come?"
"No. She went home with her boyfriend I think."
"Do you have a boyfriend?" He flashed her a flirty grin.
"Nope." She smiled, taking a sip from her cup.
"Cool. I'm Carter by the way."
"Marina."
Kenny PoV
Kenny pulled his shirt back over his head. Erica lit up a cigarette, holding it in her mouth as she clasped her bra.
"That was fun." She spoke through it.
"Yea." He laughed, he fixed his hair in the mirror and then headed for the door.
"Wait up!" She called out.
They walked out of the upstairs bedroom and headed down the steps. Kenny was scanning the room for his friends. He was proud when he spotted Kyle making out with some cute girl. No sign of Stan, Marina and Wendy though.
He grabbed a beer and decided they should be fine.
He followed Erica to another room, where her friends seemed to be.
Of course 2 of the girls in the room he already knew, but he didn't remember their names. He hoped they didn't remember him.
"Kenny from South Park!" One of them drunkenly laughed.
"How do you know Kenny from South Park?" Erica asked.
"Last year, we met at a game. Came to my house after." She continued laughing.
"No way!" The other girl laughed, "Me too!"
Erica looked from them to Kenny, he made an apologetic face and she looked back before she started laughing as well.
He figured that was a good thing.
"There are some other people here from South Park tonight." A random girl spoke up, "Are they your friends?"
"Yeah do you know where they are?"
"Blonde one went somewhere with Carter, and the two brunettes are having sex in the closet."
"Of course they are." He chuckled, "I'm going to go get another beer." He told Erica before walking back to the kitchen.
He opened it and chugged it really quickly before grabbing another.
"Yeah he said she should be DTF in like 10 minutes." Two guys walked over and started making some drinks in red solo cups.
"I still can't believe he was able to get one of the cheerleaders we were talking about." The other guy laughed.
"Right bro." Guy number one laughed with him.
"What cheerleader?" Kenny asked, drinking his second beer.
They both looked at him, "Who are you?"
"Who is the cheerleader?"
"None of your damn business dude. Not for you."
Another guy walked up to them, smacking one on the back, "Dude! Carter has that hot cheerleader downstairs! Are you gonna come?" He asked the two guys.
Kenny sat his beer down and took off running to the basement.
His eyes frantically scanned the room, trying to spot her blonde hair anywhere.
He tried every door down there until one finally revealed a room, it was extremely smoke filled and there were a lot of people in there, some just talking and some making out.
Kenny leaned around the guy who was blocking his full view of the couch and he spotted her.
She was sitting next to some guy who he assumed was Carter. He was rubbing her leg with his right hand and he had his left hand playing with her hair.
Kenny shoved through the people until he was directly in front of the couch.
She was sitting with her body slouched down, her feet resting on the floor seemed to be the only thing keeping her from sliding all the way to the ground.
Kenny was furious, "What the fuck did you do to her?" He yelled, getting the attention of most of the people in the small room.
"Back off. She is fine. She's having fun." Carter sat up straight.
"She is not fine!" He knelt down in front of her, his hands resting on her thighs, "Marina? Look at me babe. It's Kenny sweetheart, can you look at me please?" She didn't move, her eyes fixated straight ahead of her. He put his hands on the side of her face, moving her face to make her eyes meet his.
As soon as she seemed to recognize him, he saw her eyes seem to change from a trance-like state to something else. It took less than a second for them to fill up with water and he could practically feel her fear radiating off of her. The feeling was so strong that it made him feel nauseous.
Kenny let go of her face and looked over at Carter who was glaring at him. "She is fine! She just drank a lot!" Carter told him rudely, Kenny felt rage wash over him, and suddenly he stood up and punched Carter in the throat causing him to fall back against the couch. Just as quickly, his hand wrapped around his throat holding him against it.
"This isn't drunk you dumb ass! You are fucking pathetic. I would kill you right now if it didn't mean I would be the one suffering in jail and not your sick ass. Grow up. If you can't get a girl to have sex with you without having to drug her then you need to fix your priorities. If I ever hear of anyone from this school talking about being drugged, I will hunt your ass down and make sure that you suffer for it. Got it?" Kenny let go a little bit.
Carter was choking, but managed to choke out an "Okay."
He shoved hard on his neck one more time, "I'd waste my time beating your ass right now and your little friends I heard talking upstairs, if I didn't need focus on making sure that she is okay. Get the hell out of here!" Kenny let go and he moved to his knees in front of Marina, his body leaning against her knees. He put his hands on either side of her face again, his thumbs resting on her cheeks, he felt nauseous again, "You're okay. It's okay." He told her gently, "Can you hear me baby?" She didn't move, "Marina baby, can you hear me? Just try to nod, I'll be able to feel it."
"Oh my God!" Erica's voice gasped beside him, "Who did this to her? Did Carter do this?"
"Were you involved in this?" Kenny snapped at her.
"No!" She sat down on the couch where Carter had been sitting.
Kenny stared at her for a second, trying to see if she was acting weird, but she looked really sad.
"It's going to be okay sweetheart. We are going to make sure you get home." She told her softly, "I was worried it was him."
"What do you mean?" Kenny asked her.
"I don't want to talk about it. But it's been an ongoing thing that girls were being drugged and we have been being very careful about our drinks, and still somehow girls are waking up in random places with no memory of anything. We have been trying to figure out who it was."
"Well it's apparently Carter and who knows how many guys. Two of them upstairs talking about DTF in 10 minutes and said Carters name. Both were in blue shirts and jeans."
"No fucking way. We never even thought about the 3 of them, they're the best looking guys in the school. They can have any girl they want. I have to go. I'm sorry. Please make sure she drinks water, and don't leave her all by herself to wake up confused and alone in the morning. Thank you for tonight by the way." She kissed Kenny on his head and ran out of the room.
Kenny stood up, and shoved one arm under her knees and the other under her arms, "I got you babygirl. We are leaving. It's just Kenny. We are going home." He didn't even realize that the room cleared out until he turned to head for the doorway. The party seemed to be going on as usual though.
Kenny didn't even bother looking for his friends, he headed straight to her car.
He grabbed her keys out of her jacket pocket and unlocked the doors, "Kenny!" He heard Kyle yell from behind him.
"Can you get this door Kyle?" He asked.
Kyle opened the passenger door and Kenny put her into the seat. He leaned over her, buckling her seat belt.
"What happened?" Kyle asked.
"Some fucking asshole tried to drug her."
"Oh my God." He pulled his phone out, "We are all outside. Someone tried to drug Marina."
Kenny knelt down next to her, "Can you hear me baby?" He asked again, "You're okay Rina. We are taking you home, you're going to be okay, try to stay calm. You're safe now."
Wendy and Stan ran over to them.
"Is she okay?" Wendy asked frantically.
"She's fine. I found her before anyone could do anything." Kenny finally let himself take a deep breath, sitting down on the ledge of the passenger side.
"Did you find out who it was?" Stan asked.
"Yes. I would have beat his ass but I was worried about Marina. I punched him in the throat and I strangled him a little, he got scared after I told him off. He ran off to I don't know where. Erica said that they have been trying to figure out who was doing this and I think she went to go talk to her friends. She said it has been happening often."
"That's why she warned us about our drinks." Wendy gasped, "How did he drug Marina then? She is always careful."
"No idea." Kenny rubbed his hands over his face.
"Dude are you okay?" Stan asked him.
Kenny nodded, "Yeah, just scared the shit out of me. I overheard two guys talking and they were talking about a girl being 'DTF in 10 minutes' and when I realized it was Marina." Kenny swallowed hard, "I was so scared I wasn't going to find her, or that I was already too late. And when I did find her, the way she looked. She hasn't been able to really respond to me."
"She probably wont be normal until tomorrow morning. Just going to probably fall asleep soon. Fucking assholes." Wendy sighed as she walked up and tried to look at her face.
"I'm so sorry they did this to you Marina." She continued.
Kenny and Kyle got in the car, Wendy and Stan got in his car and everyone headed away from the party. Kyle sighed from the back seat, "Fuck those guys. Ruining a good night."
"Yeah." Kenny agreed, "What were you up to?"
"Well I hate to even say it now, but..I just had sex with my childhood crush."
Kenny couldn't help but smile, "Proud of you man!"
"Thanks me too! I got her number too!"
"Hell Yeah!"
"Yeah." The excitement dwindled as soon as Marina's head lazily moved to the side after Kenny made a turn. Kyle moved over and corrected it. They sat quietly for the rest of the drive.
Kenny dropped off Kyle and then headed to Marina's house.
He pulled into her driveway and then got her out of the car, her body was entirely limp this time, he had a hard time even picking her up correctly. Her arm hung loosely and her head kept falling back over his arm, her legs swinging. He had to lay her down on the bench on the porch to even unlock her front door and open it. He reached inside and locked the knob before he returned to grab her. He tried to get a better hold of her this time, and headed inside. Shutting the door with his foot, Kenny carried her up the stairs. Once he entered her room he shut her door behind him, then he walked over to her bed, laying her down.
Her entire body looked like a rag doll, and Kenny couldn't fight the tears anymore. A soft sob escaped his lips as he struggled to get her jacket off due to her arms moving too easily. He wanted her to at least be a bit more comfortable. He gave up, standing up and walking over to lock her door, he definitely didn't want her mom to come in her room in the morning and see her like this. He couldn't get the tears to stop falling, he didn't even remember the last time he cried, specially like this. He paced in her room, trying to pull himself together but every time he saw he he felt worse. Kenny walked into the bathroom and splashed his face with cold water.
When he walked into the doorway, he could see her better with the bathroom light on. He sobbed before he shut the door quickly, leaning against it. He slid down to the floor, covering his face. "I'm so sorry nobody was there Marina." He choked out, "You wouldn't have even been there if it wasn't for me. All for some fucking girl. Some girl I planned to never even talk to again. And I almost ruined your life. I'm so sorry. I'm a piece of shit. Just like my parents. You deserve better. If you hate me tomorrow I understand. I completely get it." He pulled his knees up to his chest, he tried to remind himself that she was safe, but just remembering those guys talking made him feel worse every time.
Kenny laid down, staring at her ceiling like he had a million times. He felt nauseous again. And he felt like he was way too far from Marina, even though she was only a couple feet away.
"Kenny?" He heard a weak whisper, that was so soft he thought he imagined it.
He told himself that it had to be in his head because there was no way she would be able to talk right now.
"Ken?" This time it was a little louder but came out raspy and weak.
Kenny shot up from the floor and leaned over her, "Marina?" He asked, grabbing her hand.
She squeezed weakly, "Hold...me." She struggled to whisper.
He quickly climbed onto the other side of her, putting his arm over her and holding her hand again. "I love you Mar, I'm so glad you're safe." He closed his eyes.
