Purgatory (Butters X Kenny)

Chapter 11

Firkle walked back to the others. They all just looked at him questioningly. Firkle clenched his fists tightly looking at the ground. "I think we need to help him." Was all he managed to utter. He didnt dare look up to their faces fearing that he would break his goth composure.

"Ok." Michael sighed before standing up putting out his last cigarette. Firkle looked up at him shocked. The others followed suit. Michael looked down at the little goth kid. "You're the most goth out of all of us and honestly I think they're scared of what you would do if we said no" he spoke quietly pointing back to the other two. "Let's go!" He stated loudly as they scurried toward the parking lot to his car.

Kenny dragged his feet along the ground. Lost in his thoughts. "What am I supposed to do now?" He questioned. He had no idea where he was going. He looked up to see a familiar house right across the tracks from his own. Kyle's house was tall and a dark shade of green. It looked the same as all the other houses in the neighborhood apart from Kenny's. It wasn't in shambles threatening to crumble at any moment. 'perfect' he thought rolling his eyes. "Get some help." The whisper circled his head.

Kenny sighed and walked up to the front door. He put his hand up to knock when the door swung open. Kyle was standing there with his arms crossed. "Well are you going to stand there or come inside?" He snapped. Kenny got over his residual shock and trudged in only to flip down on the couch immediately. He hadn't even notice a very nervous looking Ike sitting down.

Kenny raised his eyebrow at him. "Hey Kyle? You wanna have a beer with me?" He shouted. Kyle shrugged and made his way to the basement to find the stash they hid down there. Kenny never took his eyes off Ike. When Kyle was out of earshot he spoke to the young Canadian. "Look you don't have to be nervous. I won't tell anyone. What are you doing with that Kindergoth anyway?" Ike just shrugged his shoulders. "I like him. He's different in a good way." Kenny smiled "Ya. Hold onto that."

Kyle emerged from the basement to see Ike and Kenny talking on the couch. Kenny raised his eyebrows. Then winked at Ike. Kyle walked over handing Kenny a beer. He stood in front of Ike. "Get upstairs." Ike looked up at him and he scowled. "Get upstairs now Goddamnit!" Ike flipped off his brother and stormed up the stairs shouting "You're such a bitch Kyle!" Before slamming the door.

Kenny just chuckled opening the beer and taking a sip from it. It tasted awful. He grimaced. "Who picked this shit!?" He scoffed at Kyle. Kyle just shrugged. "It's left over from Clyde's party that you ditched." Kenny thought back. 'Oh ya I had one beer and then jumped in front of a train' adrift in his thoughts once more till Kyle cleared his throat.

"So all that stuff you said in the library this morning?" He said looking down at his beer. "That why you've been ditching everyone?" He finished to take another sip. Kenny paused. He had been ditching his friends a lot to be with Butters. It wasn't like it mattered what time of day he died he still only ever got thirty minutes with him. He took another sip and shrugged "Guess I didn't notice."
