POV STAN
I go down the stairs to go home when I met Kyle's mother, I know that Gerald and my father were very good friends but I have the impression that she doesn't really like me.
When she saw me, she looked at me from top to bottom to make me understand that I wasn't really welcome here.
When I went out I met Kyle's father.
"Oh well, hi Stan, how are you? I learned for your father I'm really sorry but well I think you know your father as I know him, he was always like that even when we were younger"
"It's okay thank you, it doesn't really matter, and I find it even surprising that he got arrested only now"
"me too, for once the South Park police are effective"
"Yes, well I'm going to go home, have a good evening Mr Broflovski"
"Good evening to you too Marsh"
Finally, Kyle's father is nice but as soon as we throw him into a conversation the one becomes endless...
I'm going home on foot, my house is a 2-minute walk away so it's okay
I knock on the door, no one answers, so I decide to go home.
"Hi Mom, I'm back!"
"Hello my dear, so did your day go well?"
"Good and you?"
"It's okay, thank you, it was cool at Kyle's?"
"Yes, it was great!"
"So much the better, go wash yourself and put on your pajamas, we'll eat in 20 minutes, can you call your sister too? She must surely be on the phone with her headphones"
"No problem"
I go up the stairs with my bag, go into my room, take off my shoes, take my pajamas and underpants and go to the bathroom
I'm knocking on the door
"Is there anyone in there?"
"Yes but go if it's you Stan I don't care you're gay anyway so good"
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH SHELLY"
"STOP YELLING AT YOURSELF UP THERE"
"SORRY MOM, you're pissing Shelly off, let me know when you're done"
"Ok"
POV KYLE
It's been 20 minutes since Stan left my house, it was really good, I admit that I missed it
"KYLEEE DINER" my mother shouted
"I'M COMING"
I ran down the stairs.
"What are we eating tonight?"
"Pasta with tomato sauce"
I sat in my place, and put my towel on my lap
"So who starts to tell his day"
Says my mother with confidence
She had read in a psychology review that communicating at the table with the family was a good thing to keep the family's ties tied
"Well no one is voluntary ok, well Ike starts then, your father, then Kyle, then me"
"Today I hung out with Firkle, he's the only person in my class I know so no choice"
"You shouldn't hang out with a child like him, it's a bad influence Ike"
"But mom"
"Well, that's enough, to you Gerald"
"Uh today we studied the case of Randy Marsh, to perhaps grant him a narrowing of sentence, because he has been surprisingly calm since he was in prison..."
"GERALD I FORBID YOU TO RELEASE THIS PUBLIC DANGER, YOU SEE KYLE, IF YOU CONTINUE TO STAY WITH STAN, HE WILL END UP LIKE HIS FATHER AND YOU WILL END UP LIKE HIM"
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME, BECAUSE STAN'S FATHER IS IN PRISON, WILL STAN END UP IN PRISON? I HOPE IT'S A JOKE"
"Listen Bubbah I'm doing this for you-"
"NO YOU DO THIS FOR YOURSELF AND ONLY YOU, YOU WANT TO CONTROL EVERYTHING, YOUR FAMILY, YOUR FRIENDS, YOUR HUSBAND, EVERYTHING"
"IT'S ENOUGH KYLE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DEPRIVED OF SPEECH AND MEALS.
Otherwise today I have-"
"NO ONE GIVE A SHIT ABOUT YOUR STUPID LIFE"
I get up, get rid of my plate and go up to my room
"OH COME BACK HERE YOUNG MAN YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET AWAY LIKE THAT"
"YOUR MOTHER IS RIGHT KYLE COMES DOWN"
"FORTUNATELY I'M RIGHT GERALD THAT'S WHY WE MUST NOT FREE RANDY MARSH, LOOK AT HOW HIS SON TRANSFORMED MY ADORABLE SON INTO AN AUTHORITARIAN MONSTER"
"SHEILA I DISAGREE, RANDY MAY BE A PROBLEM BUT HIS SON IS VERY NICE"
"GERALD"
"Ike goes up to my room"
"Okay Kyle"
Me and Ike, let's go up the stairs, enter my room and lock it
"Kyle, I'm sorry for later, I shouldn't have called mom"
"It doesn't matter Ike, hold my headphones plays Roblox"
"Thank you Kyle, sorry," murmured Ike, letting go of a few tears
I took him in my arms, to calm him down
I'm hungry
I'm tired
Every night it's been like that since Randy was in prison, but now it's worse than usual
*I CAN'T TAKE YOU ANYMORE SHEILA, YOU ALWAYS WANT TO BE RIGHT*
*Noise of scream and glass that breaks*
"Kyle, we can't let them do it"
"Do you want them to beat you Ike?"
This one stay silent
"That's it"
I took my headphones with thread, after all Ike took my Bluetooth headphones
I always hear the cries of my parents, but at least he's spared
I've lost a lot of weight since last year, with big sweaters it can't be seen, but when I look at myself in the mirror when I get out of the shower I see it well
I lose my hair a lot, but with my curls it doesn't show
I work a lot, even on vacation
Surprisingly, it helps me to change my mind
After all, without Stan I was pissed off in South Park
"KYLE OPENS THIS FUCKING DOOR, WHAT IS THIS STORY THAT YOUR MOTHER TOLD ME"
Oh no
Ike?
"Ike doesn't tell me that..."
"I'm sorry" he burst into tears
"It doesn't matter Ike I-"
"OPEN THIS FUCKING DOOR I TOLD YOU"
"I'm coming, I'm coming..."
I opened the door, knowing very well how it was going to end...
*CLACK*
I took a slap by my father
He grabbed my wrist.
"Come with me gay ward"
"I'M SORRY IF IT'S BECAUSE-
I PROMISE YOU IT'S REALLY NOT WHAT YOU BELIEVE I-"
"Shut up Kyle"
When my father is angry it's often a bad sign
He doesn't get really angry often but when he gets angry he is destructive
"Listen to me Kyle, if you are this kind of disturbed child believe me we will do everything to get you back on track"
"But what did we miss in our education to have such a son," she said, releasing a few tears
This bitch
"Marsh will never put a foot here again, and you will never put a foot at his house again and I will talk to his mother and father since I see him soon for work, during this time you are deprived of cell phone"
"NO NO NO"
I felt my body shaking
And my eyes drown in my tears
It's unfair, it's all her fault
God it's hurt
"Listen, me and Stan are just best friends, I don't know what makes you believe that there is something between him and me but-"
"So you explain to me why Marsh was lying on your floor earlier?"
Ike told everything to mom...
"I can explain everything to you, basically we were playing the switch, and I was only winning all along-"
"That's my son"
I smile
My father took a pat on the back as a sign of being silent
"Continue" says Sheila
"So at some point by dint of losing Stan asks me how I do to beat him all the time in all areas and I told him "it's my secret" and then he wanted me to tell him by tickling me except that I was just moving and so to get stuck he got on me? But otherwise I promise you that there is nothing weird or what I-"
"And how can I take your word for it?"
"Sheila is our son, we must trust him"
"YOUR son, I didn't miss my education on my side so if your son is disturbed it's YOUR fault and ONLY yours" she left the living room
It's for me that I wonder how you can be my mother sometimes
"Well enough emotions for today, go to bed tomorrow you have school we'll talk about it again tomorrow"
"And my punishment?"
"You are just deprived of exit for 1 month"
"YIPEE"
"GO TO SLEEP OR YOUR MOTHER WILL KILL ME"
"THANK YOU DAD"
"I was a child just like you you know? I know how it feels like to be different and bad in your skin , and your mother too, she just didn't learn the same life lessons"
Thank you dad
-
"Go Ike wake up, it's time to go to your own bed-"
Well, he's sleeping, I'm going to take him to his room
I turn off his tablet, removed the headphones from his ears, and put his tablet to charge
I took him to his room, make his bed and closed his door
Good night Ike, sleep well little brother
