Build Me Up

Chapter 7

Hearing yelling from inside, I gasped slightly. 'Oh no, did someone see me?' I ducked under Kenny's window, and I could hear him wake up. He rubbed his face in frustration.

The yelling grew louder, making me want to run as fast as I could out of here. Someone pounded on his door, screaming for him to open up.

Another voice interrupted the pestering, and the pounding stopped. Instead, arguing grew louder until I heard a window break. Jeez, they were worse than my parents. Poor Ken.

"It's okay, don't worry," Kenny whispered. My eyes widened. Did he know I was there? I snuck a peek into his room, freezing at the sight.

I hadn't noticed the smaller figure lying on the bed before. She seemed way younger than him, making me believe it was his little sister, Karen. Her face was buried into his shoulder, and his arms engulfed her shaking body.

"Why do they fight? Don't they love each other? Don't they love us?" I heard Karen cry.

"Shush, it's alright. Sometimes people make mistakes because they don't think of the consequences. They love you, but they're showing it the wrong way. You should be treated with hugs, giant stacks of pancakes, and badass princesses, not torn clothes, fighting parents, or frozen pop tarts. I just wish I could make your life better than this. I love you, and as long as I'm here they won't lay a finger on you. I promise."

Smiling slightly, I thought that Kenny was good with kids. He sounded like a great brother, and I believe they deserve the world. The life their parents are giving them isn't right.

Realizing that I could get caught trespassing and eavesdropping on something that wasn't my business, I shuffled silently away from the McCormick household.

Next stop, the Marshes.

Listen, your friends love you so much. I know they will listen to you, and they'll support you no matter what. You're actually such a kind person even if you think you aren't, I'd like to be your friend. The world may seem shitty, but some things make it worth it. I think your SBF makes you the happiest. Tell him how much he means to you.

For long notes, I had to write small, so I hope he can read my message. Next, I went to Kyle's house.

Dude, I think you need to talk to your SBF. He needs you right now. Honestly, it may not seem like it, but I think you make him really happy. You should tell him how much he means to you!

I didn't really know Kyle, so I hoped that was good enough to help him.

Cartman's house was next. His window was opened and so I pulled out a present from my hoodie that I had for him.

I think it's okay to not grow up so fast, but it isn't okay to be a huge dick, Cartman. Mistakes don't instantly make you a bad person, but constantly causing pain to others on purpose does. If you want people to like you, fine be yourself, but you need to learn from your mistakes and gradually become a better person. If you don't, it's gonna bite you in the ass, and everyone will leave you until you're completely alone. News flash, being evil is kinda lame. Being evil and kind is a power move. I think you can achieve that, otherwise,e you will never conquer the world. Enjoy your clyde frog.

I threw the sticky note and clyde frog into his room because I was lazy and this was Cartman.

I went to Craig's house next and made my way to his window from his tree. It rocks living in a small town because almost all the houses have the same layout.

Don't be a pussy, Craig. Got your attention? Well if you're still reading this, then I suppose so. I don't really know you, but I can see that you're actually really nice and caring no matter how hard you try to seem badass. You're kind of a dork, and I think you fit well with him. You're both dorks, adorable. So yeah, don't be a pussy man, ask him out or I will!
