Because I Love You

Chapter 3

"Hey Butters what are you doing?" Cartman asks

Without looking at him I say" Trying to escape real life."

"Why?" He asks

"Cause my parents got killed and I found them in my bedroom closet." I say

After a few minutes later I can feel the ground slightly shake. The rain stops and I just keep standing in the street.
The next thing I know I'm falling sideways onto the payment and the sound of thinking echoes through the air. I lean on my hands while shaking my head. Blinking I look to my left to see Kenny sitting on his legs staring at me with concern written on his face. His orange jeans as a rip on the knee part and I can see a scrap on his knee. He smiles at me and helps me up.
While walking I start to shake and shiver. Kenny takes his hoodie off and wrap it around my shoulders. I grab both sides and wrap it tighter around myself. We stop in front of my house and my stomach does somersault.

"Kenny can I stay with you for tonight?" I ask

"Of course Buttercup." He says

We begin to walk towards his house and I slightly smile at the nickname he gave me. Neither of us say a word but the silence is comfortable.
After what seems like an hour we reach his house. He unlocks his door and yells inside. When nobody answers he steps aside and holds the door open for me.
Stepping inside I see that his house is dirty but neat at the same time. I start to sweat in his hoodie so I hand it back to him. He grabs it and leads me into his bedroom.

"Wait anything to eat or drink?" He asks

"Yes please." I say

He strolls away from the door and towards the kitchen. I sit on his bed and look around his room. There's posters of women in skimpy outfits and his closet is open.
I notice that there's a batman mask on the floor by his closet door and I shake my head.
I smile until I notice something hidden underneath the poster above the closet. Standing up I slowly walk over to it and gently pull on it.
Before I could see or read what it was, it was ripped four if my hand. Turning my head I see Kenny standing beside me with a tray if sandwiches and a couple glasses of soda.
We sit down and watch tv while eating.
I laugh at something the character on the tv screen says When I hear a slight snore. Looking to my left I see Kenny passed out. His head is hanging backwards while his mouth is open.
I smile to myself and gently shake his shoulders. He jumps up and almost knocks me over. He quickly grabs my hand before I reach the floor.

We begin to clean up. Kenny yawned while I finish up the dishes. I shake my head and follow Kenny to his room. He strips down to his boxers and climb under the covers. I blush and rub my knuckles together whike climbing under the covers as well.
My eyes close but I don't fall asleep. Instead I replay what happened today inside my head. Tears start to fall and I cover my mouth so I don't make a sound.
I gasp as I feel an arm gently swing over my waist. Then I hear a soft snore and Kenny snuggling into my back. I can feel my cheeks heat up and all the bad feelings go away.
