"Boyfrenemies" Vol. 2

CRAIG'S POV

"hey, friend."

it was dead silent after he had the absolute nerve to say that to me. all the people in the crowd were looking at each other confused wondering what's about to happen.

"friend?" is all i could say attempting to keep my rage dormant.

"that's right....we're not friends anymore because of this loser!" he says while continuing to squirt more ketchup on tweek while laughing maniacally.

"QUIT!" i take a step forward ready to run over and knock his ass out until a boy, who looks like a full grown man because he's huge, steps in my path as if he's some sort of body guard to clyde.

"thanks, rufus," clyde says to the guy and then puts the bottle down and just takes a good look at tweek as if he's pleased with what he's done to him, "it's not nearly done — god! you're not supposed to see an artists' work until they're done!"

"t-thanks for c-calling me a w-work of art i g-guess," tweek says and i have to stop myself from laughing at that comment.

clyde turns to him slowly with this disgusting look on his face for a moment and then slaps him and fuck — my body immediately reacts while trying to get around rufus but he holds me in my place. the crowd "ooos" and clyde just looks smug, "keep telling yourself that."

i look over at chris who just looks like a deer in the headlights, has not said one thing. neither has annie, she's looking everywhere but at me.

"clyde are you happy?" i hear tolkien's voice behind me, i was so immersed in clyde i totally forgot my friends were here to back me up. i'm relieved that i'm not alone in this.

"i'm ecstatic that i'm out of that hillbilly town. i can finally be myself," clyde says nonchalantly while grabbing other condiments that he wants to pour onto tweek.

"so....an asshole," red says and clyde's face perks up at the sound of her voice, "you bitch. you're so lucky you're not the one in this chair right now because god the things id do to you for ruining my relationship with fucking bebe—"

"it wasn't even me! it was you being an asshole — like you said you are now — and her realizing that she could do better than a cowardly crybaby who'd still suck his mom's tit milk if he could." she says and the crowd erupts in laughter.

my mouth drops open at that, jesus christ red is ruthless.

he just stands there with his hands by his fists and then looks at chris and annie who still haven't said a word since we've arrived, "none of you guys are gonna back me up?"

chris and annie quickly glanced at each other nervously and then back at clyde. chris says while slowly turning his head towards me, "you never said anything about him being here."

"of course i didn't because i didn't know they would be here you fuckwod!" clyde says exasperatedly.

"you lied to me," he says staring at clyde with cold eyes, "not just about him but about hurting tweek. you said you weren't gonna hurt him and you slapped him!"

i just stare at the scene in front of me, it's clear chris still likes tweek in a weird way even though he's literally watching him being tortured by condiments.

"wha—"clyde says nervously, "you saw how he talked to me, he deserved it! come on, after this you can totally have him like i said."

"have him?!" i yell in rage while still being held by fucking rufus, "he's not for fucking sale what the fuck is wrong with all of you? he doesn't even like you!"

"YES. HE. DOES," chris says with a crazed look on his face and his eyes opened wide and everything....this kid has some issues.

"clyde said that he's gonna go with me and annie's gonna go with you," chris keeps going while laughing hysterically.

"WHAT?!" tweek and i yell at the exact same time and we both locked eyes looking confused as ever.

"surprise," clyde says walking up towards me and nodding at rufus, signaling him to let me go, "you see: this is how this is all gonna go. my uncle — chris' dad — is the mayor of this town. so i have all sorts of connections and shit now. if you don't want me to make your lives a living hell — you're gonna do exactly as i say! and what i say is: you're gonna date the beautiful annie and tweek is gonna date my cousin who is in love with him and would treat him better than you ever would. and we're all gonna live happily ever after — especially me knowing i've won. got it?"

i looked at him with this look of pity on his face, he's truly lost it.

"if you think you're gonna scare me because your uncle is the mayor and that's gonna let you dictate my life? you might be crazier than your psycho cousin over there," i laugh.

"PSYCHO?! WHO ARE YOU CALLING PSYCHO," chris yells.

"YOU! NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP," red yells from behind me at chris.

"fuck you," clyde snarls at me staring directly into my eyes.

"clyde, we've been through so much together and it's said that we're having this fucking fued over something that should be left in the past. you've moved to this great and nice area claiming to love your life now and yet you're so obsessed with tweek and claiming that he's the reason you, me, and tolkien had our falling out. you're just...jealous...and miserable," i say calmly.

clyde pushes me once backwards, "watch your fucking mouth, twinkle toes."

"you're getting mad because i'm telling the fucking truth," i yell, "just fucking move on! we're not friends anymore — get over it! and i'm not gonna let this rage you have dictate my love life. i'm not dating anyone who isn't tweek because he is the love of my life!"

all i could hear was "awwwwws" around me, i wish i could look at tweek's reaction but i didn't want to take my eyes off of clyde to let him know that i'm fucking serious.

"NOT 'AWWWW'," i finally hear annie's annoying voice which was also filled with anger, "HE LITERALLY KISSED ME AFTER TWEEK BROKE UP WITH HIM HE COULD CARE LESS ABOUT THAT LOSER!"

"W-WHATEVER MAKES Y-YOU SLEEP AT N-NIGHT," tweek yells back.

"oh you've finally decided to say something? c'mon red, lets teach our dear friend annie a lesson. shall we?" i hear nichole say.

"we shall," red says and follows nichole as they walk towards annie and annie looks like she's literally about to bolt.

as the chaos is happening around me and clyde, i still haven't taken my eyes off of him and he hasn't taken his eyes off of me either.

"so?" i say wanting to hear his thoughts.

it was quiet for a moment, "you let him ruin our broship. me 'stealing' your position was just an argument that we could've gotten over within a few days but once he arrived you let him ruin our friendship."

"how clyde?! you were the one that made us have that big argument in the hallway and you brought tweek into it when he had nothing to do with it! face it — you were always jealous!"

he suddenly closes his eyes out of frustration and groans, "AND MAYBE I AM! HOW COULD I NOT?! ALL YOU CARED ABOUT WAS TWEEK, TWEEK, TWEEK! WE WERE ALREADY FIGHTING AND THIS NEW KID JUST COMES OUT OF NOWHERE AND STEALS MY BEST FRIEND POSITION LIKE IT WAS NOTHING!"

my eyes widen at that confession as i wasn't expecting it to happen so soon. i couldn't find the words to say actually.

"i—"

"save it," he says turning around to walk back towards the house, "fucking untie him and go back to your hillbilly town together. i'm done." clyde opens the back door and shuts it loudly and the backyard is just silent after that.

"what the fuck was that?" i say.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:

after a week i come with an update

i'm not trying to make anyone sympathize with clyde because he's done horrible things but i wanted to show his perspective.
