Help Me Through It. | Creek

°• ~ Part Three ~ •°

I shouldn't have went to school. I should've just stayed home. But thankfully school went by fast.

Once school was over with, Craig drove us to his house. When he parked his car, we got out and walked inside his house.

He walked inside first, I followed him then shut the door behind me. We both stood there and slid our wet shoes off then left them there at the door.

I walked to the living room and sat down on the couch as I put my thermos on the table and stared at it in silence.

I didn't noticed Craig was standing there until he said "Tweek.."

I stayed silent.

"Tell me what's going on."

"I'm fine-"

"Bullshit Tweek. You're not fine. I know something's wrong. Spill it." he said with his monotoned voice as he sat down beside me.

I stayed silent again as I listened to footsteps coming towards the living room. I looked up and seen Craig's mom, Laura Tucker.

Her smile disappeared as soon as she seen me. "Oh Tweek sweetie. I've heard what happened. I'm so sorry." She said as she rested her hand against her chest.

"What the fuck.. Wait.. You know what happened? How? What the fuck?" Craig looked at his mom then at me then back at his mom.

Laura didn't say anything, instead she just looked over at me with a sad look on her face.

I felt tears rolling down my cheeks and quickly wiped them away. "Thank you.. I uh... I gotta go. Thanks for the r-ride." I said as I got up and quickly walked towards the door.

I slid my shoes on as I listened to Craig "Wait! Tweek. Why aren't you telling me what's going on?" Craig asked as he followed me to the door and stood there..

I didn't say anything.

"Do you not trust me?"

I froze with my hand on the doorknob and stared at the door.

"Craig.." I heard Laura calling for him.

"No! All I need is a yes or no. You're being all secretive with whatever's going on. Not telling me or anything! I was always there for you. We told each other everything. And now, you're hiding something from me." He said to me, ignoring the things his mom was saying to him.

"Craig, please it's not a good time to be upset at him right now." I heard say to Laura.

"No mom! It's pissing me off he's blocking me away. We're suppose to be best fri-"

I squeezed the doorknob. "My mom is dying Craig." I said quietly.

The room went silent.

Fuck this.

"Tweek.."

I didn't want to be there anymore. "Bye Craig." I  left his house in a rush before he could stop me.

"TWEEK!" I heard him shout my name, but I didn't stop. I ran faster and faster away from his house.

I finally got to Stark's Pond and sat down on the bench as I tried to catch my breath.

I rested my elbows on my knees and rubbed my face against my hands.

I froze when I heard footsteps.

Oh God. That might be those sneaky gnomes who've been trying to get me for years!

I'm not prepared!

My eyes widen as my whole body twitched while listening to the footsteps come closer and closer.

I can't have them take me. Not yet anyways..

TOO MUCH PRESSURE!!

When there was no sound, I freaked out. "AGGGGH! I'M SORRY. DON'T TAKE ME!" I screamed as I fell off the bench.

When nothing happened, I slowly moved my hands away and looked up at Craig.

I couldn't see his face though.. His head was tilted down and his dark hair was covering most of his face. But I did noticed his cheeks. I seen tears sliding down them.

Is he crying..?

I slowly stood up as I kept looking at him. "Craig.." I said softly as I walked over to him then paused in front of him.

"I'm sorry about your mom." he said quietly as he pulled out something from his pocket. I peeked down and noticed it was a cigarette and his lighter.

I hated that he was smoking, and he known that. But he still smoked right in front of me. Not all the time, but still.

As he put his cigarette in his mouth and lit it up, he still wouldn't look at me.

"Craig.."

Craig didn't say anything.

"Craig.." I repeated.

"Tweek, I'm sorry I wasn't there. If I didn't leave with that chick. If only I was with you.. I would've been there with you.. Knowing how you felt. Imagining what you went through.. Tweek, I'm fucking sorry." He rubbed his face with his free hand. "I'm sorry.."

I didn't say anything, instead I just wrapped my arms around his waist and laid my head against his chest.

I shut my eyes as I laid my head against his. "You don't need to apologize man.. We just.. We need to stay strong for her." I told him in a gentle tone.

He agreed by nodding his head.

We stood there and held each other for awhile until he pulled away a little and stared into my eyes. "I promise I won't leave you."

His face was so close.. I could just lean up and press my lips against his. But how would he react..?

Don't do it Tweek! He's not gay..

I love him so much though..

Don't do it!

Before I known it, I leaned up on my tippy toes until our faces got closer. Craig furrowed his eyebrows a bit as he stared into my eyes.

His lips were right there.. If I just move forward a little our lips would connect. I've wanted to do this for so long.

I moved my face more closer to his.

"Craig!" Someone shouted out loud which caused us to break apart.
