Unravel (Creek)

Chapter 12

When Tweek opened his eyes it was sunny out. He lifted his head to look at the time and saw that it was noon. He was late for school.

Last night he had already convinced himself that his heart was going to stop and so he was very surprised to see day. Tweek crawled out of bed and took his phone out to charge it. When his phone turned on there were several text notification. When Tweek check from who, it was mainly from Gordon, and Butters but nothing from Craig.

Tweek remember his desperate attempt to call Craig. Now he was happy he didn't. Tweek read Gordon's messages, he was concerned about him.

Tweek text him back apologizing. Explaining that he was ok. Gordon replied right away asking why Tweek wasn't in school and Tweek was honest, he said he overslept.

When Gordon asked why his parents didn't wake him? Tweek responded, "He pretty much raise himself." Tweek loved his parents and was certain they loved him. However, their business was more important to them than raising their son. And from the moment he could be left alone in the house. He was always alone.

Gordon responded with a sad face. Tweek sent a smiley face back and promised he be at school tomorrow. After reassuring him he was fine Tweek went downstairs to make breakfast.

Of course he didn't learn from yesterday, Tweek went straight to the pot of coffee. Pouring everything that was left into two cups. He then scrambled some eggs and made toast. He felt a little guilty drinking the coffee, in his mind he thought, 'Well my heart didn't stop, so why stop drinking coffee?' He figured having actual food with the coffee would help balance the caffeine and that would keep his heart from racing painfully again.

When Tweek was done, he went into the living room and spent the next couple of hours on the couch watching tv.

At about 4pm Butters was at his door, unexpectedly, and he had brought McDonalds. Tweek smiled, letting him in.

"I figured you might want copies of the assignment," Butter said pulling his notebook from his bag and taking out the sheets that he had grabbed for him.

Tweek was surprised, and very grateful, "Thank you, Butters."

"How are you feeling?" Butters asked.

Tweek shrugged his shoulders, as he ate the fries. He didn't have much of an appetite, but didn't want to be rude; after all Butters went out of his way to check on him.

"Getting any sleep?" Butters asked, observing Tweek's face.

"Do I look like a zombie?"Tweek asked.

"Yeah, a little." Butters replied.

"Not really," Tweek replied.

"Maybe it's the coffee?"

"You sound like Craig," Tweek said, leaning back in the chair.

"Sorry. Saw that kid Gordon today," Butters said.

Tweek eyes lit up, and he pressed his lips tightly together waiting to see if Butters was going to continue.

Butter scratched his head and laughed. "I was kinda hoping you would go into details," Butters confessed.

"What do you want to know?" Tweek asked, shyly. He pulled the burger out and took a bite.

"Are you guys together?" Butters asked.

Tweek shook his head, putting down the burger. "We are just getting to know each other."

"By doing?"

Tweek blushed, "I dunno, it's more like having company. His girlfriend who he is in love with, wants to get back with him, so I don't know how long that's going to last."
