I Hated You Now I love You

Chapter 4

You and Collin got home late. You hoped that your mom wasn't home. You brought Collin to his room since he was out cold. You stepped out of his room and sighed. Everything seemed fine until.
"You!"
You instanly froze and felt your body stiffen.
"Were have you been with my son!" She yells. You let your body relax a little as you looked at her.
"He's not your son," you said calmly," niether of us are."
"I gave birth to both of you!" She yells.
"That doesn't mean you took care of us!" You yell back," I named and took care of Collin for the past 8 years of my life!"
You knew you had pissed her off. In the slight dark you saw her raise her fist. You accepted the hit to the face. As long as she was hitting you and not Collin. You quickly grabbed the door frame for balance.
"You useless piece of shit!" She yelled as she knocked you off balance and kicked you to the ground. She kicked the side of your ribs a few times then left. You curled up into a ball and let the pain seep in.
"Y/n."
Someone was shaking your shoulder. You opened your eyes to see Collin.
"Morning bud," you smiled then flinched from the bruised face.
"I heard you and mom argueing last night," he says. You frown and slowly sit up.
"I'm sorry you had to hear that bud," you say and hug him. He wrapped his small arms around you.
"Lets get ready for school," he says as he pulls away. You nod and get up.
You got yourself and Collin ready for school then headed out. You walked Collin to the elementary school first.
"Have a good day," you smile and hug him.
"You too Y/n," he says as he hugs you back. You pull away and he walks into the school. You start your journey to the high school.
"Hey Y/n! Get in!"
You jumped and looked over. You had hardly noticed that Stan had pulled over next to you. The back car door opened as you walked towards the car. You hopped in next to Kenny and on the far end Butters.
"Thanks," you say.
"No problem dude," Stan said as he started to drive off.
"What were you doing walking so early, when you can ride the bus?" Kyle asks.
"Oh well I have to drop Collin off at the Elementary school, and at that point I just walk," you explain.
"Really? This early in the morning?" Stan asks.
"Uh yeah, I don't trust him with our mom," you sigh.
"Well shit I'm sorry dude," Stan says.
"Nah don't worry about it," you say.
"Where'd the bruise come from?" Kenny asks pointing at your face.
"Me just being a klutz," you laughed nervously.
"I don't know that looks pretty sevre for just being clumsy and you don't seem to be one to loose your balance easily," Kenny says leaing into your face.
"I-it was j-just me being clumsy I s-swear," you lie.
"Ken, your making him nervous," Butters says putting a hand on Kenny's shoulder.
"Sorry," Kenny says and pulls away from your face.
"Thanks Butters," you mumble.
You got to school after the rest of the car ride being silent.
You went to your locker and organized your stuff. You brought it to your homeroom then walked back out to find Kyle, Stan, Butters and Kenny. You found them by a windowsill. Kyle and Stan sitting on it while Kenny and Butters were holding hands next to them.
"Hey uh Kyle?" You asked nervously.
"Yeah what's up?" He asks looking at you.
"How is the Tattoo doing? Does it hurt or anything?" You ask.
"Not any more, I was able to remove the plastic last night and it looks awsome dude. Thanks for not being a dick like Cartman wanted," he smiles. His smile melted you away a little.
"Yeah no problem," you smiled back at him. His cheeks turned a light shade of pink causing yours to do the same.
"Hey gay birds! Should we get you two a room?" Kenny asks
"What No!" You exclaimed at the same time Kyle said, "Like you should be talking Kenny."
Your face turned a scarlet as you quickly looked down. You burried your head in your hands.
"Okay guys-!" Cartman starts then he sees you. You look up at him," oh no, what the fuck is he doing here!"
"He's a part of our little group now," Stan says.
"Nuh uh. No!" Cartman yells.
"Fine then you can leave fatass!" Kyle yells.
"Why would I!?" Cartman exclaims. You slowly started to back up.
"Because Y/n is staying!" Stan yells as he quickly grabs your arm and yanks you forward. Causing you to fall forward onto him and setting a hand on Kyle's thigh.
"You guys are gonna regret this!" Cartman yells as he walks a away.
"Try us fatass!" Stan yells as he elbows the back of your head pressing you deeper into his thighs and shaking one of his fist in the air.
"I can't breathe," you try to say.
"Oh shit sorry dude," Stan says as he lifts his elbow. You quickly lift your head and get off Stan.
"Looks like Stan might end up stealing your boyfriend Kyle," Kenny teases.
"Shut up Kenny!" Kyle yells.
"I'm not his boyfriend," You say pointing at Kyle.
The schoold day went by easliy. You sat with Kyle at lunch which was interesting. At the end of the day Stan offered you a ride to the parlor which you accepted. You walked into the parlor and Mili ran up to you.
"You just came from someone's car!" She says excited then her mood drops after seeing your face," did she do that to you?
"Y-yeah," you nod," but don't worry about it, Collin's fine!"
"I'm not worried about Collin!" She yells and hugs you," I'm worried about you."
"You don't have to be," you say muffled into her breasts.
"You don't worry about yourself! Someone has to look after you!" She yells.
"Yeah,
I have myself," you say as you pull away.
"You're so stubborn," she says. You ignore her as you went to the back room. You set your stuff back there and came back up front. Henrietta then walked in followed by Peter.
"Hey, ready to finish up the corset?" You ask Henrietta.
"Yeah hope you don't mind I brought Peter along," she says.
"No problem," you smile. Henrietta still has her goth edge but its toned down slightly over the years. You grab your tools from the back as Henrietta got herself prepared. You walked back out and started to put the rubbing alcohol on Henrietta's back. You started working on her pierceing.
A little after 4 Collin walked in.
"Hey bud," you say as you finish up the pierceing your on," how was school?"
"It was good," he says.
"Good," you smile.
"Hi Henrietta," Collin says walking in front of the table she's on.
"Hey shorty," she smiles at him.
"Your almost done," you say too her.
"Oh thank god," she says.
You do the last few and she lays there for a few seconds.
"You know the drill," you say as she gets off the table. Henrietta nods slowly as you both walk to the cash register. You exchange the amounts due and she leaves with Peter following behind.
The rest of the night is uneventful. Collin falls asleep on the couch in the lobby, but just a little before closing time a familiar red head walks in.
"Hey Kyle," you say as he walks to the counter.
"Hey," he says. He leans against the counter. You can see a slight dampness in his hair and his jacket is on loosly.
"What can I do for ya?" You ask.
"Well Ike wanted me to invite you and Collin to come watch movies with us on Friday," Kyle says.
"Yeah I don't see why we couldn't do that," you shrug.
"Great, you might also be getting a lot more customers," Kyle says.
"What makes you say that?" You ask.
"Lot of kids at practice saw the tattoo that you gave me and want one of thier own now. Not the exact design but they saw how good you were," he smiles softly to himself.
"Or did you just talk me up," you teased and poked his shoulder.
"You wish," he laughs.
"Y/n! It's closing time!" Mili yells as she comes up front then sees you and Kyle," Oh shit sorry I didn't mean to interrupt anything!"
"No you didn't," you say.
"You got a ride home? Stan can give you one," Kyle says.
"Collin and I ride with Mill's, but uh thanks," you say.
"No problem, I should head out see you tomorrow N/n," Kyle says as he walks to the door.
"Yeah later Kyle," you say as he walks out.
"Kyle? Isn't that the kid who hates you?" Mili asks.

"I'll explain when we get to your car," you say.
