Take a Bullet for You

Oneshot

Bleh here you go, the oneshot. I'm so lazy today.

It was just a normal school day. Nothing unusual is happening. Right?

Kyle was writing in his notebook. "Hey, Kyle?" Stan asked. "Yeah, Stan?" Kyle replied to him. "Do you want to come over and play video games after we finish our project?" He asked to Kyle. "Yeah, sure." Kyle said.

Stan smiled. "I hope to see you then." He said. Kenny smiled at this. "Mind if I join y'all?" He asked to the boys. "Sure!" Stan responded happily. They looked at Cartman. Cartman was getting his papers until he dropped them. "Fuck!" He screamed and leaned to pick them up.

Kyle walked over and helped him. "Oh, hey Kahl." Cartman said. "Hey, fatass." Kyle said. Both of them laughed. Suddenly, a gunshot made them flinch. Everybody began screaming and running. "RUN, GUYS!" Stan yelled and ran into a safe room, but was shot.

"Stan!" Kenny screamed and also ran in the safe room with him and let people in as more gunshots rang out. Suddenly, the safe room got so full that people couldn't fit in. "There is more rooms for you guys to hide in!" Kyle said and everybody began running around as students were getting either shot dead or shot injured.

Cartman then pushed Kyle. "Run!" He said. Kyle then looked at Cartman. "What about you?!" He asked to him. Cartman smiled. "I'll catch up. Just run!" He said. A gunshot came in. Cartman dodged in time and ran off.

Kyle knew he had to run. He ran along with a few students. Butters was one of them. "I don't wanna die!" Butters screamed. Kyle turned back to see Cartman also following. "In this safe room! Now!" Mr. Garrison yelled. Everybody got in. "Kyle, watch out!" Bebe screamed.

Kyle turned around to see the shooter fire a bullet at him. Everything around Kyle stopped. 'Am I going to die...?' He thought to himself. 'Am I going to die before I get to live out my full life...?' Kyle closed his eyes and braced for the impact.

Suddenly, someone jumped in front of him. Everyone screamed as they saw it. Kyle opened his eyes and saw the person himself. That person who saved him was Cartman. Kyle gasped in horror.

Millions of thoughts ran to his head. "CARTMAN!" Wendy screamed. "No way!" Clyde screamed. "ERIC, NO!" Butters screamed at the top of his lungs. Kyle then looked at Cartman. He was clutching onto the part where he got shot at. It was almost near his heart.

"Cartman!" Kyle said and bended down next to him. "I'm sorry...I'm so so sorry..." Kyle said while holding onto Cartman's injury gently. "The...the safe room...go in there..." Cartman coughed out. Kyle began crying. "No...! Not...Not without you!" Kyle said.

"You gotta get in, Kyle!" Craig said. "I'm not leaving him!" Kyle said. The shooter had left as he saw more students in the left. "Go...K...Kyle..." He said, finally saying his name right.

Kyle began to cry even more. "Eric!" He said, saying Cartman's real name. "Mr...Garrison...Get Kyle in the safe room..." Cartman said. Mr. Garrison nodded and grabbed Kyle with much of his strength. "No! No! No, no, no, no, no! Eric! Cartman!" Kyle screamed. Cartman smiled.

Mr. Garrison then put Kyle in the safe room. Kyle stopped yelling but he was crying. Mr. Garrison then shut the safe room.

2 hours have passed. The shooter has been arrested. Kyle had passed out as the shooting went on. He opened his eyes when Butters shook him awake gently. "Wake up, Kyle..." Butters whispered. Kyle then got out to see pools of blood and dead bodies being taken away. He didn't see Cartman.

Was Cartman among the dead?

He didn't know. Students were sent to a hospital. Everybody who survived decided to head there. Even Kyle decided to head there.

Once arriving, he saw students there. He then saw Stan. Stan had survived the shooting. "Hey, Kyle..." He said. Kyle walked to him. "Hey..." He said quietly. "You seem somber...What happened during the shooting...?" Stan quietly asked.

Kyle looked at the ground and then back at him. "Cartman...Cartman saved me...by taking a hit for me." He explained. Stan's eyes widened. "Really...?" Stan said. Kyle nodded. "Yeah...I'm not sure if he is alive...or...or..." Kyle's eyes began to have tears. "...or if he is dead..." He covered his face with his hands.

Stan did a small smile. "He's alive..." He said. Kyle looked at him. "He's...what...?" He asked. "He's alive...He is in Room 23." Stan said.

Kyle did a small smile. "Thanks, Stan." He said. Stan nodded. "Now go see him." He said and his smile grew. Kyle smiled back and walked to Room 23.

Once entering in, he saw Cartman in the bed. "Oh, Cartman..." He quietly said and clutched onto his hands with both of his hands. Cartman woke up to it. "Hey, Kahl..." He said. Kyle looked at him, tears rolling down his face. "Why did you take that hit for me?" Kyle asked to him.

"I didn't want you to die." Cartman explained. "Not to mention that you have a full life ahead for you. But me? I acted like a jerk to you and everybody else throughout my life. I knew I couldn't take back those words."

"But you also have a life ahead of you too." Kyle replied. "And...And I don't want to spend my life alone...I want to spend my life...with you." He confessed with a blush. Cartman looked at him. "Does that mean...you love me, Jew?" Cartman asked to him.

"Of course I do!" Kyle replied back to him. "If you died, I would spend my life alone without being with you." Cartman smiled at this. "I love you too, Kyle." Cartman said. "Wanna go on our first date when I recover?" He asked to him. Kyle looked at him and with tears still falling down his face and a smile. He said his response.

"Yes."
