Chapter Text
Over the next few weeks Makayla and Kenny would stop by after school to see how I was doing, everyday I felt a little better than the day before so I guess that was a good sign. Even though my body was slowly healing I still couldn't help but feel nothing but hurt and betrayal by my former best friend. As much as I tried to not think about what had happened it was hard not to hear the sound of him laughing at me and to see nothing but hatred on his face and his eyes. When I tried to apologize to him when I had done nothing to him to begin with at all because that is what my mind told me that is what he wanted to hear for some reason. "What do you Ky?" Seth asked grabbing a hand full of my hair yanking my head back "do you forgive Hero Boy?" Kyle's expression darkened as he stepped forward and replied coldly "No, he can go to hell." Seth and the other two shoved me to the ground hard causing me to land on my right wrist wrong and breaking it.....I shook my head trying to bring myself back to the present and not relive what had happened over and over again. "Stan, are you alright?" Makayla asked when she noticed my far off stare.
"Yeah," I replied letting out a heavy sigh before giving her a reassuring smile "I'm fine."
She smiled back before taking a hold of my left arm and softly cuddling close to me before lowering her head onto my left shoulder. "Can you believe that Seth is already out of jail?" Kenny asked taking a seat on the other end of the couch "his parents bailed his ass out."
"But he is under house arrest and not allowed to leave," Makayla quickly added
Can we talk about something else?" I asked not wanting to talk about Seth any longer.
"Of course," Makayla said sweetly before suggesting "how about we order a pizza and have a movie night?"
Kenny shrugged his shoulders "Sounds really cool but I got to get going, I have a hot date tonight."
"A date?" I repeated
"Yeah with Claire from algebra 2," he replied.
"Wouldn't want to keep you from your date," she mumbled down low sarcastically.
"All right then Dude," I said "we'll catch you later."
"Yeah, for sure," Kenny nodded as he made his way towards the front door leaving just the two of us sitting on the couch alone. "Well, we can order pizza and have a movie night together if you are still up for that?" I pointed out.
Makayla sat up and gave me a quick smile "I can't imagine spending a better Saturday night than that."
I returned the smile "How are you feeling by the way?" she asked as her eyes made their way towards my still bruised cheek. "I am starting to feel a little better," I replied making complete eye contact with her.
"Good," she replied turning her face away from me slightly trying to hide what looked like a blush "I'm glad to hear that."
Seeing her blush like that made me feel nervous "Um....how about we order the pizza?"
"Sounds good," she agreed
We both decided on a pepperoni pizza and to re-watch The Avengers movie, as we waited for the pizza to arrive we sat in silence both not sure what to say to one another. Truth be told this was the first time we had actually been alone together, we were always in some class or had Kenny around but this was different for some reason. "I'm just so happy you're alright and doing better," she finally said looking down at her hands on her lap. "I don't know what I would do without you, you are my best friend Stan and you mean a lot to me."
I turned slightly to face towards her "You mean a lot to me too," I admitted. When she brought her eyes back up to meet mine I could see some tears in them ready to slip out onto her cheeks. "You did not deserve what happened to you," she said softly bringing her one hand up to wipe away a couple tears that had just escaped out of her eyes.
"Don't cry," I said leaning towards her and giving her a reassuring hug.
"I can't help it," she whispered as she hugged me back.
As we pulled away I don't know why but I felt this sudden urge to kiss her and before I could stop myself I leaned forward again this time gently placing my lips against hers. I could feel her stiffen up for a few seconds before she relaxed and kissed me back. "I'm sorry," I whispered feeling embarrassed at what I had just done and hoping that I had not just ruined our friendship. She smiled at me then leaned in bringing her lips to mine again. The sound of the doorbell caused the two of us to jump and to quickly pull away "That's probably the pizza," she said standing up and walking towards the door. After paying for the pizza the two of us put on the movie and sat down to enjoy it cuddled up together on the couch.
