addicted (creek fanfic) COMPLETE

chapter twentyone

Tweek

We set a trap for the 'tonguecutter'. Tonight we'll hopefully finally find out who the mysterious mutiulater is. Leo dressed himself as Marjorine his true self. He will be walking home from the movies alone. Or at least the ‚tonguecutter' will think he's alone. My whole body is trembling and Craig rubs my back calmingly.
„We won't let anything happen to him.", he reassures me.
I nod trying to believe it. All of us that are in are scattered all over the way Leo is gonna take. Now we just have to wait.
„Uhm listen Craig... there's something I have-...", I start trying to make a confession but he puts his finger on my mouth silencing me. Leo is walking past our hideout and someone is following him hidden in the dark. I nod towards Craig who is already writing a grouptext to everyone. The stranger sneaks up to Leo who squels as they grab him. Craig and I immediately run to Leos help. Craig grab their left arm while I grab the right one. Leo still a bit shaken takes a deep breath and rips the mask of the ‚tonguecutter' down.
It's actually Stephen Stotch. Leos dad.

Mr. Stotch was arrested together with former principal Victoria. They were working together all this time. And also having an affair. I feel really sorry for Leo. Even though now he can finally be his true self: Marjorine. With this case finally solved it's time that I'm going to spill the beans to Craig. He needs to know about my parents, about me. When everything is over and our statements were taken by the police we made our way home.

Craig and I quickly went into his room and I locked it.
„Craig there's something important that I need to tell you.", I say and take his hands.
He looks at me worriedly: „What is it honey?"
„The reason I live with you and your family is because of my parents. I know we always told it was because I got into a fight with them but the truth is way worse. You might wanna sit down for this one.", we both sit on his bed and he takes my hand again waiting for me to continue my story, „the thing is, my parents drugged me all my life. I didn't know until last christmas. Your parents found out on the day of your accident."
„What?! Why would they do such a thing?", Craig shouts and I lay my hand on his tigh calming him down.
„The reason the did it is... is...", I gulp and look scared into his eyes, „while my mom was pregnant with me she did drugs and I was born into withdrawal. That's why they thought it's best to keep on drugging me."
„That's horrible. I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you honey.", Craig says with a sad expression.
„It's alright Craig. I should've told you sooner especially since-...", I was cut off by Tricia who barged into the room.
„Guys come quick!", she just says and is out of the room again.
We exchange a look and follow her downstairs.
She beams at us and shows us a romantic set table for a dinner for four.
„I planned a double date for us tonight.", she exclaims happily.
Craig and I stare at eachother mouth agape.
WTF is going on?

The dinner with Tricia and Ike was really nice. It's the middle of the night and I'm wide awake. Craig is mildly snoring next to me. I didn't take the drugs my parents sent me today and I'm really on edge because of it. I can't resist the urge. I get out of bed and go over to my room. There the white poweder is in a small plastic bag in my desk drawer. I put it in my PJs and walk down stairs to make myself a coffee. I tried sniffing it but it wasn't feeling really good that way so I just kept drinking it with coffee. It's sad to know that I have only been clean for about a week. But I was just feeling so weak and helpless and the letters from my parents with the drugs kept coming. I just couldn't stop. When I was about to pour the drugs in I felt someone towering over me. The eyes were piercing me in the dim light. 
„C-craig please... I-I can explain...", I said letting go of the mug that shattered on the floor.
He didn't say a word. He went back upstairs and came back a few minutes later with my backpack. He grabbed me by the arm and pushed me out of the front door. He threw my backpack and I could catch it before it landed in my face.
„I've fucking had it with you. You want to kill yourself? Fine! Go back to your parents! Get lost!", he screamed with tears in his eyes.
Before I could say another word he slammed the door shut. I curled myself into a ball and cried on the cold and dirty floor. A few minutes later the door creaked open and I was expecting Craig to come and scold me more. But it was Laura. Like an angel she stood in the doorway and came down to pick me up. I explained everything to her. I apologized multiple times while sobbing into her chest. After I finally calmed a little she wasted no time. She called my parents in the middle of the night and bitched them out about how they dared sneaking drug into her house and destroying my life all over again. When she was done she came back to me with a cup of tea.
„You know that you have to get away from the drugs right Tweek?", she asked.
I nodded: „I know."
„I'll talk to Thomas and we'll figure something out. Would you mind showing me the letters and cards you got from your parents?"
„No I don't mind I'll go fetch them."

The next morning was horrible. I was trembling the whole day. Laura told me to stay in my room until Craig and Tricia left.
„Sweetie", she started and took my hands, „Thomas and I talked and we think to get over the withdrawal we'll send you to bible camp."
I nodded in approval. This was a great, yet horrible idea. I would spend a whole summer away from South Park, my parents and Craig.
