The Way That Gravity Pulls (Creek FanFic)

Chapter 24: 297

"Yo it's Craig, and you've reached my voicemail which obviously means that I can't call right now. So you've got two options. You can either wait for me to get back to you or just...I don't know...leave me a message I guess. I can't promise that I'll listen to it though.

So...

If this is mom, I'll get home when I get home. Deal with it.

If this is dad, fuck you. That's all I have to say.

If this Tolkien, mind your business and worry about yourself.

If this is Jimmy or Clyde, stop calling. I don't wanna play Call of Duty with you guys right now.

And if this is Tweek, just know that I'm alright. I'm not laying dead in a ditch somewhere, I wasn't kidnapped by the government and no...I'm not being held hostage by those "underpants gnomes" you keep ranting on about. I'm okay. I promise. And you'll be okay too. You'll see."

It had now been December, specifically four days until Christmas, making it more than a month since Craig and I had last seen each other or had spoken.

I also hadn't seen nor talked to my friends either, and Stripe was gone...

I was lonely. I was so fucking lonely. And what do you do when you have no one else to turn to? You go crying to your mother for help.

I had finally told her about what had happened between Craig and I, not leaving out a single detail, and she decided that it would be best for me to just stay home for a little while. I was honestly surprised that she didn't cause up a conniption when she had found out about Craig sleeping over multiple times, us hiding Stripe, me stealing money from our own store, getting all wrapped up into Cartman's tricks and family business and...well you know the rest...

That same day, the day we were exposed, Laura called my mom asking if I had known why Craig was all "pissed off at the universe," and why he had "suddenly decided to want to quit school." But luckily, my mom kept her mouth shut and didn't tell Laura anything.

So here we were, Tweek and Craig, two high school drop outs, both refusing to go back and face all of the harassment and backlash that was bound to come our way. And how did I know that we would both be attacked as soon as we stepped foot onto campus again? Well if the cyber bullying was bad, I could only imagine what reality would've been like.

The photo of Craig and I kissing was now all over social media, as well as videos that people had taken in the cafeteria when I had kissed him again and when he had punched me in the face. Every comment on those posts were either calling us some sort of homophobic slurs, sending us death threats or telling us that we were going to burn in hell.

Everyone was on Cartman's side. They had hated us. But it didn't stop there, there was so much more...

There were polls on Instagram and Twitter so people could vote between Craig and I to see who was "the gayest guy in South Park." (Surprisingly, it ended up being a tie almost every time. Except for once when Craig had beat me by a total of 29 votes.)

Fake accounts were made, pretending to be us. Hate pages were made too. Our addresses and phone numbers were leaked so people could contact us if they wanted to torment us even more than they already had....and they did...
