"Entry 4: 4 Years"

"Goddamn, it's been awhile since I've written in this journal. I found this while digging through an old box.

I moved out of Colorado after graduation to go to college. I was studying to be a doctor, but after my dad appeared at my apartment door, I dropped out to take care of him.

I moved back to Colorado. A lot of stuff has changed.

Tweek's parents are hospitalized after getting into a car accident, leaving Tweek to take care of the coffee shop, which has been doing better than ever. Clyde came out as gay, and he's now dating Token. Stan married Wendy. Kyle is dating Bebe. And Craig....

Well, Craig hasn't spoken to anyone since graduation. Everyone says he was trying to reform himself, but I don't believe Craig would want to change. He was happy with himself.

Him and I had stopped talking after our.. incident. Even so, I still saw him around with others. He looked like his usual self, but I could see a look in his eye that sang a sad tone.

He was hurt.

I miss him. I didn't realize how I had felt about him until we graduated. I liked him a lot, but I just wouldn't admit it.

It's been 4 years. I'm 22 now. I'm not sure how I feel about him now."

I closed my journal and looked around at my old room. Mom moved out, but still owned this house. She let me take Dad here. Dad took her room, and I kept mine.

I got out of my desk and went downstairs. Dad should be asleep right now, so I think I'll go get a cup of coffee.

No one from school knows I moved back. I only heard about everything while talking to Mom. She had stayed for those 4 years unlike me.

I put my mask on and began to walk out. I wore a long sleeve [F/C] dress with my hair down. I decided to walk my way to Tweek's.

I entered to coffee shop. The familiar aroma surrounded me as I entered. I looked around and saw Tweek at the counter. He looked shocked, as if he recognized me.

I saw that other kids from school were there too. Kyle, Stan, Cartman, Kenny, Clyde, Token, Bebe, Wendy, and Red.

"[N-N/N]- GAH?!" I heard Tweek and nodded. "Actually, my name is [Y/N]."

Suddenly, I heard the door open and felt someone bump into me. I turned around to see Craig. He seemed as surprised as I was.

"[Y/N]?" His voice was deeper than when we last talked. He was slightly taller too.

I nodded again and went back to Tweek. It felt awkward to talk to him after all these years.

I ordered my favorite coffee and went to sit down in a free seat. Bebe and Wendy came over with Red to talk to me.

"You're a woman? God, I don't know how many girls had a crush on you because they thought you were a boy." Bebe stated.

"I'm surprised girls liked you. I guess they were into feminine men. I mean, you did have good qualities some girls wanted in man, like calm, quiet, we'll mannered, you get the gist." Wendy added on.

It was fun to listen to them gossip like we used to. Everything was fine with the exception of Red. She was quiet unlike the other two.

Cartman came from behind her and gave her a hug from the back before facing her to the other men and groping her breast. "Honk honk!" He shouted.

"Babe, cut it out..." Red murmured. She's dating Cartman now? Eric Cartman, the biggest asshole I've ever met is now dating Red, another one of the biggest assholes I've ever met.

If this was back in school, I would have made a joke about this, but Red seems to not enjoy this. She was just inappropriately touched in public, of course she's not okay with this.

I got out of my chair and looked directly at Red. The others looked at me with more shock in their eyes, including Craig. "Um, I need to talk with Red in private for a bit." Cartman looked over at me, and with a groan, he let her go.

"Fine, but no lesbian shit. Red's ass is mine." With that, I took Red into the women's bathroom.

Red leaned against the sink, not bothering to look at me. "This is serious. I need your full attention for this." I spoke softly. Red looked at me, confused.

"Are you okay?"

She was frozen. Her tired eyes turned glossy. She swallowed nervously and spoke.

"Yeah."

Then she left.

I left the bathroom soon after her. She sat by Cartman. Cartman gave me a glare and went with flirting with Red.

I went back to my table with my drink. Wendy and Bebe left me alone. Then Craig approached me.

"Hey..."

He rubbed the back or his neck. He looked a bit nervous.

"Oh, hi. How's it been? It's been forever since we last talked." I gave him a smile. It felt nice to talk to him again after all this time.

"It's been okay. I missed this." He looked away from me.

"Missed what? Our talks?"

"Yeah." He looked back. Smiling softly, he took a seat with me.

"Well, anyways, I was wondering if you'd want to check out my apartment tomorrow. We could catch up there." He looked more confident saying this.

"Of course! Here, take my number so we can make plans." I wrote my number down on a napkin and slid it to him.

"Sure thing. Well, see you then." He took the napkin and got up. He flipped me off and walked out of the coffee shop.

I missed Craig. I'm glad we can talk again.
