I Hated You Now I love You

Chapter 20

“That was a lovely performance Anne, now please welcome another young musician
Y/n!” The host says. 
“Good luck dude,” Stan says as you walk up. You hook your guitar to the speakers and take a seat on the stool. 
“Hi my name is Y/n and I will be performing Happier by Ed Sheeran for you,” you says. 
“Walking down 29th and Park
I saw you in another's arms
Only a month we've been apart
You look happier
Saw you walk inside a bar
He said something to make you laugh
I saw that both your smiles were twice as wide as ours
Yeah, you look happier, you do
Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you
But ain't nobody love you like I do
Promise that I will not take it personal, baby
If you're moving on with someone new
'Cause baby you look happier, you do
My friends told me one day I'll feel it too
And until then I'll smile to hide the truth
But I know I was happier with you
Sat on the corner of the room
Everything's reminding me of you
Nursing an empty bottle and telling myself you're happier
Aren't you?
Ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you
But ain't nobody need you like I do
I know that there's others that deserve you
But my darling, I am still in love with you
But I guess you look happier, you do
My friends told me one day I'd feel it too
I could try to smile to hide the truth
I know I was happier with you
Baby, you look happier, you do
I knew one day you'd fall for someone new
But if he breaks your heart like lovers do
Just know that I'll be waiting here for you.”
The crowd went wild with cheers and claps. The judges were even on there feet. Once the applause died down the judges started to speak.
“First off can I just say wow,” Wendy says into her microphone while dabbing her eyes,” that was amazing! You have an amazing voice.” 
“You really could feel the emotion in that song,” Butters smiles,” it’s like you were singing it for someone.” 
“I agree with Butters. It sounded like you poured your emotions into it,” Bebe agrees.
“Well thank you Y/n that was amazing,” Wendy smiles. 
You stood up and walked off. 
“Dude that was amazing,” Stan says. 
“Thanks,” you smile,” but do you think it provoked Cartman enough?” 
“Probably, but let’s just head to Token’s car for now. You can put your guitar in there,” Stan says. You nod then head to Token’s car we’re Tweek, Craig, Clyde and Token waited. 
“How’d it go?” Craig asks.
“As planned? I’m not really sure,” you shrug then Kenny texted the group chat you had all made. 
Ke: Cartman is pissed. It worked let’s continue with phase two. 
You all gave quick glances at one another then nodded. 
“Be safe,” you say as Craig, Token and Clyde headed for the bathroom. Stan went back to Kenny, Kyle and Cartman. 
A few minutes later Craig texted the chat.
Cr: we’re ready
You took a deep breath then started heading for the bathroom.
When you walked in you walked over to the sink and washed splashed your face with water. You made it look like you were shaken up by performing in front of a bunch of people. Which you were but your anxiety had gone down a little.
“So Happier by Ed Sheeran Huh?” Cartman asked as he walked in. 
“Yeah what about it?” You ask and face him.
“It was directed at Kyle wasn’t it?” Cartman asks. 
“What if it was, what if it wasn’t?” You ask. He grabbed you by the collar of your shirt and pinned you to wall. 
“I did not beat the ever living shit out of you day after god damn day just for you to try and get Kyle back,” Cartman growls. You couldn’t help but start laughing. “What’s so funny?!”
“How desperate you are,” you smirk. Wrong choice of words . Cartman landed a punch straight to the side of your face. He let you drop like the first time he had done that.
“Your pathetic. Kyle was never yours and he never will be, so stay out of my god damn way,” he says as he kneels in front of you. He then stands up kicks you in the stomach one last and leaves. You sit up as Craig, Clyde and Token exit the stalls. 
“Please tell me you got that,” you say as Craig and Clyde help you up. 
“Oh hell yeah, you good though?” Clyde states.
“Yeah, he’s done a lot worse before,” you say. 
“Alright let’s head back to the car. Get some ice on your cheek,” Token says. You nod and head back to Token’s car. 
*Kyle’s Pov* 
Y/n sung beautifully. I don’t have words for it. I know the song was directed towards me and I felt every word of it...would he actually take me back? But what about Cartman... Stan tapping me on the shoulder snapped me out of my deep thoughts.
“I need to show you something,” he whispers to me.
“Yeah alright,” I nod. He stands up and signals me to follow him... I do and we head to the bathroom. Stan pulls out his phone.
“Watch this,” he says. 
“Okay,” I say and grab his phone. I play the video. 
I was pissed after the video finished.
“I should of fucking known!” I yell. 
“Well are you going to make it right?” Stan asks. 
“Yes!” I yell and storm out of the bathroom. I walk to our spot. Cartman was sitting there laughing with Kenny. 
“You mother fucker!” I yell. 
“Kyle...? What’s wrong?” Cartman asks as he stands up. 
“You did it! You hurt him just so you could start hanging out with us again! So that I would get back with you!” I yell. 
“Why Kyle I do-“ he starts. I shove him.
“You know exactly what I’m talking about!” I growl,” I saw the video! You told Y/n what you did!” Cartman realizes he’s lost. 
“Oh so fucking what! I’m better for you anyways!” Cartman snaps now defending himself.
“No your fucking not! I don’t want you talking to me or my boyfriend again!” I growl,” now get your fat ass out of here!” 
“Fucking Jew,” Cartman mumbles as he walks away. I turn to Stan. 
“Where is he?” I ask.
“At Token’s car in the parking lot,” he says. 
“Thanks,” I nod then head out. 
*Normal Pov* 
“Cartman just walked out, Kyle shouldn’t be to far behind,” Craig says from the front of the car. 
“Thanks,” you say while holding the cold soda can on your cheek.
“Here he comes,” Craig says. He walks to the trunk and pulls the cooler out. 
“Were heading in, remember to lock the car before you and Kyle come to join us,” Token says. They walk away. You let out a sigh and lean your head back. ‘Now or never Y/n,’ you think. 
“Is this spot taken?”
You look at Kyle he was pointing to the empty spot in the trunk.
“No but it might be cold,” you say,” the cooler was just there.” Kyle nods and sits down. You sit in silence for a few seconds.
“I’m sorry,” Kyle says. 
“No, I should of told you earlier, maybe then we could of figured something out together,” you say,” I’m sorry.” 
“We should of figured it out together when I first found out,” Kyle trails off. You set a hand on top of his. 
“It’s okay...we were both in the wrong. That’s what happens with lack of communication,” you say. 
“I still love you,” he says. You look at him as he looks at you. 
You inch closer in and kiss him. 
When you pull apart you set your forehead on his. 
“Do you wanna try again?” You ask. He doesn’t respond but kissed you again. 
When you decided to head back in the show was in intermission. Stan flagged you and Kyle over. Kyle sat down first then you sat in his lap.
“This is what we like to see,” Clyde smiles at the two of you. 
You both smile at Clyde. 
“Did it work?” Butters asks as he walks over. He then sees you and Kyle. Butters smiles as Kenny walks over and hugs him. 
You were all happy and content now. 
-Time Skip-
“Third place Anne!” The host exclaims they were announcing the winners. There were various cheers and claps as Anne walked up to the stage. 
“Second place Red!” More claps and cheers. 
“Now drum roll for first place please...” the host says and the audience gives it to him. 
“And the first place winner of this year’s talent show is.... Y/n!” 
You froze slightly, did he make a mistake.
“Go honey,” Kyle whispers in your ear. You snapped at of your daze and got up. You walked to the stage. The host shook your hand and congratulated you. He handed you a trophy. 
“Thank you,” you smile at him. 
“Another round of applause for our winners!” You smiles out into the crowd. 
Everything was perfect.
