The attempt

"Kyle Broflovski, Stan Marsh and Kenny McCormick. Please go to counselor Mackey's office."

There's a quote that states 'It only takes one moment to change a life forever'. I don't think I ever really understood that quote. Well, of course I understood it, anybody who isn't a literary degenerate could understand something as straightforward as a quote, but I never understood it on the level it was meant to be heard. I've had some life changing moments before, like when the gang split up back in sixth grade. Back then, we didn't see it happening, even though it was looking us right in the face. We thought everything was normal. It was sometime in February when I realised that we didn't talk anymore. I'm not sure when the others realized it, because I didn't bother to ask them. We were going our separate ways, and it might've been for the better.

Stan joined the football team, and became your stereotypical jock. He also got back with Wendy during the summer, so now he's even more cliche. Handsome jock dates the head of student counseling. He stopped talking to me, due to the social hierarchy that labeled me as a 'nerd', therefore deemed unworthy of talking to any of the kids of his ranking. I tried pitching a conversation with him a few times over the years, but there's always a place he needs to be or a person he needs to talk to that's more important than connecting with his childhood SBF.

Kenny never really changed. He's still the perverted 10 year old I remember hanging out with. His horniness expanded now that he's actually getting laid, and I didn't even bother trying to reconnect with him. Besides, he's probably too distracted getting banged by the downtown whores to ever want to hang out with me or any of the others.

Last, but not least, Eric Cartman. If I'm being honest, I don't really know much about Cartman nowadays. He doesn't take any extracurriculars, his grades are very average and he doesn't talk to anyone or go anywhere. According to Butters, everytime they interact he always seems either extremely distracted or oddly generous. Like, everytime Butters came over, he'd alway make sure he went home with something. Whether it was as small as a pen or as extravagant as a laptop. He also seemed to have lost a lot of weight. It was hard to tell because he always wore huge hoodies, mostly red ones, and seemed to be eating well at lunch. He'd never really caught my eye through the years, as we weren't ever really friends. I also always had my face buried in a book, so I never noticed much. I don't keep up with drama or anything up that alley either.

I became somewhat of a 'loner'. I mean, I hung out with Butters and Jimmy every once and awhile, but since they had other friends to pair off with, I spent most of my days alone, which I'm fine with.

Now I find myself sitting in the counselor's office for an unknown reason with two kids I haven't spoken to in, a little under, a decade. This is the moment. The moment that changed my life forever, and that made me understand that quote.

Mr. Mackey walked in with a piece of notebook paper in his hand and a sorrow look on his face that told me this wasn't gonna be good news. The other must've noticed it too, because the room became a bit too quiet after Mr. Mackey walked in. He sat at his desk,placed the paper, faced down, towards us and folded his hands together. He cleared his throat before he spoke,

"Boys, you're friend, Eric Cartman, attempted suicide last night m'kay. He'd tried overdosing on a bottle of Tylenol around 1 and 3 AM, and was rushed to the hospital. He is recovering with minor difficulties, and will be back in school by tomorrow."

I felt my face go as white as a sheet. I turned to see Stan and Kenny's reactions out of curiosity. They looked just as surprised and worried as I was. Mr. Mackey continued,

"He left a suicide note, and I think you three should read it m'kay."

He pushed the paper towards us, and I took it with trembling hands. Mr. Mackey had left to talk to someone outside, leaving me, Stan and Kenny to read the note.
