chapter fourteen

Tweek

I sit a dark alleyway somewhere in South Park crying my eyes out. I can't believe my parents drugged me my whole life. I pull my hair. Hard.
„AGH!", I scream letting all my frustrations out.
I sat there a while thinking. I'm such a horrible boyfriend. He just tried to comfort me. My parents are the ones to blame. I shouldn't have been so mean to Craig. He probably hates me. I start hyperventilating. I need to go back. He's probably worried sick. I'm such an horrible person. I should go back.
I take a deep breath and stand up. My hands are shaking. I'm so anxious. I should call Craig. Tell him I'm fine. Say I'm sorry for running away.
I pull my phone out and as soon as I see the messages and missed calls. A shiver runs down my spine as I see that I missed about 20 calls from Craig, 7 from Laura, 11 from Tricia and 3 from Thomas. Something is definitely wrong. My stomach flips. I call Craig but land directly on his voicemail.
This is Craig. Leave a message or whatever.
I take a deep breath. I call Laura.
„Oh sweetie finally. Where are you?", Laura sobs heavily.
„Laura please calm down. I-I'm alright. Do you know where Craig is? I kinda r-ran out on him earlier because of the whole erm... situation with my parents.", I say trying to stay calm.
Laura starts crying and my stomach drops.
„Tweek is that you?", I hear the whiney voice of Tricia.
„Yes, Trish. What is going on?", I ask trembling.
„It's Craig. He-he got into an accident. You need to come to Hells Pass. Fast."
„I'm on my way.", I say and hang the phone up.

I ran all the way to the hospital. I was out off breath when I got there and went immediately to the front desk.
„Uh h-hello. I'm here for Tucker. Craig Tucker."
„Are you familly?", the man asks suspicious.
I nod and lie: „I'm his brother."
„Well then. He's in room 513. Your parents and your sister are already there.", he says.
„T-thank you.", I say and make my way to the room.

When I open the door three pair of red eyes look at me.
„Bro.", Tricia calls and throws herself into my arms.
I hug her tight rubbing her back comfortingly.
„Hello Tweek.", Thomas says trying to give me a comforting smile.
„Hey Thomas, hello Laura.", I say still hugging Tricia tight.
After a few minutes I slowly let go if her.
„Can I see him?", I ask, „is he even awake?"
Laura nods with tears in her eyes and steps away from the bed. My heart shrunk when I saw him. His face was bruised and he had stitches on his forehead. He was also wearing a lifesupport mask. It helped him breathe. His chest rose and sank in a normal rhythm. Tears streamed down my face as I sit next to him.
„I'm so sorry Craig. This is all my fault. I shouldn't have run away."
I take his hand and began stroking it tenderly.
„Wh-what GAH! exactly happened?", I ask my eyes still glued on Craig.
„Well...", Thomas started, „after you left Craig was very concerned for you. He asked if he could borrow the car to go looking for you. Of course we agreed since we were worried for you too. For us you are a part of our family Tweek I hope you know that. Anyways, while driving there were two people on the street and he tried to swerve away but since it was icy he lost control and drove directly into a tree. Right now he's in an artificial coma since they haven't found out what brain damages he's got."
Tears still drop out of my eyes.
„When are they gonna wake him up?"
„We don't know yet.", Thomas answers.
I nod: „R-right because GAH! Of the brain damages."
„I-I'm going to c-call my parents. They need to come home and ex-explain why they did what they did. I also don't want to burden you with my presence in your house. I'll look for another place to stay. But thank you so much for everything. Do you know how visitor hours are? I'd like to keep him company as long as possible if that is alright with you?"
„Oh Tweek, sweetie you can stay with us. That's not a problem, right Thomas?", Laura says and nudges her husband that nods, „we actually have thought about what to do with the situation with your parents and we think that you shouldn't go back to them. If you agree we'll ask them to sign some papers so Thomas and I will be your guardians until you turn 18. They won't be able to drug you anymore that way. We want to avoid child services because you'd be taken to relatives if you have some or you'd land in a random foster family or an orphanage. We both love you like our own son Tweek."
I was baffled. Why are they so kind to me?
„What do you say Tweek?", Laura asks opening her arms for an hug.
I don't hesitate a second and throw myself into her arms. She wraps her arms tightly around me.
„We're a family now. We'll always have your back sweetheart.", she softly strokes my hair.
„Thank you mo-... Laura.", I say finally feeling safe.
I look at Craig. I won't leave your side my love, I say to him in my mind. I'll be there for you until you open your eyes again. And also for what comes after.
