    Weep for yourself, my man,
    You'll never be what is in your heart
    Weep Little Lion Man,
    You're not as brave as you were at the start
    Rate yourself and rake yourself,
    Take all the courage you have left
    Wasted on fixing all the problems
    That you made in your own head


    But it was not your fault but mine
    And it was your heart on the line
    I really fucked it up this time
    Didn't I, my dear?
    Didn't I, my...


    Tremble for yourself, my man,
    You know that you have seen this all before
    Tremble Little Lion Man,
    You'll never settle any of your scores
    Your grace is wasted in your face,
    Your boldness stands alone among the wreck
    Now learn from your mother or else spend your days Biting your own neck


    In the last year, things just seemed to keep going wrong for Craig and his friends. Clyde was still suffering from his mother's unfortunate death. He had a horrible problem with depression that often made him lash out at the tiniest things at school. However, when he was with his friends, he seemed to be a little bit better. His dad, however didn't seem to understand this, thinking the depression was from bullying at school and often keeping him from hanging out with his friends when he was home. Clyde ate his depression away by stuffing himself with tacos and other Mexican food and growing even chubbier than his puppy fat from before.


    Craig tried to help his best friend out of it whenever he could. He helped him sneak out of the house whenever he could, or just snuck in and hung out with the brunette in his room. Craig was dealing with his parent's divorcing. Though it wasn't the divorce that plagued his mind, it was the looming threat of his father moving away and taking the kids with him.


    The pair kept up a decent demeanor for their friends, leaving the depressing stuff for when they were alone together.

    Even though they tried to keep themselves together more for the other two,
    Jimmy and Tweek and Token began noticing a slight change with Clyde and Craig
    and how they dealt with the issues.
    Though even the three boys were suffering through their own issues, issues they never brought up --
    They wanted to hide their own to help Craig and Clyde,
    who may or may not be cooperative to do in their own ways.


    On this particular day, Token got to school before any of the other boys.
    There was rumors of a potential snow storms hitting South Park and most adults were talking about that.
    He waited at the front of the school -- which was a regular meeting spot for the gang
    Much like the bus-stop was for Stan's group.

  • Craig came much later, his bangs hiding his eyes while the hood of his jacket hid the features of his face in the shadows. He didn't say anything when he came up beside Token, just standing there, glaring at the ground with intense blue eyes. He seemed tense with anger, fists clenched tight enough that his hands were pure white. How long had he been doing that for?

    Token gave a while before his warm dark brown gaze rested on Craig
    He looked a bit tired, his arms crossed against his chest for warmth
    "Something bothering you, man ?" He asked, though he doubted he'd say anything.
    But maybe... just maybe he would without the others around.

  • Craig's icy gaze darted to Token for a second, scanning his face before looking away. "...nothing..."

  • [align=center][size=4]The world is ugly. But you are beautiful to me. [/size]


    "Thought you might say that...."
    Token sighed, a long puff of icey breath trailing after as he did so, and he closed his eyes.

  • "Fine." Craig growled, grabbing a hold of his hood before yanking it down. He was developing a very nasty black bruise around his left eye. Blood was drizzling slowly from his nose and a slit on the edge of his face.

    Token rose his eyebrows, startled
    "Sh*t, man ! What the hell happened ?!" he asked, sounding a bit startled.

    Token whent to speak again but the sound of someone sputtering innurupted.
    Jimmy stared, looking equally as alarmed at Craig as Token did
    "You-- you-- you better not let Tweek catch eye of that !" he finally mustered out

  • "Wasn't planning on it." He said, flipping his hood back up. He hated when he had to hide from Tweek to protect him from the truth. His dad did something like this and he never liked to have Tweek endure his pain.

    "Craig, would you like to stay at my house for a while ?"
    Token asked with a frown, furrowing his eyebrow
    "Im really worried things might get worse, and you can't hide it from Tweek forever."

  • [align=center][size=4]The world is ugly. But you are beautiful to me. [/size]


    "Of course they can, I always have your back."
    Token assured with a faint smile, but it soon fell -- and he began to rub the back of his neck
    "But.... I uh, actually need to confess something that may change your mind."


    Jimmy looked over again and spoke
    "Uh.... Actually, I need to say something too. Very much."


    Well it certainly seemed like all this secret and trust issue began to unravel suddenly and rapidly.

  • "Spit it out. You can tell me anything." Though the line reads cheesy, Craig's voice was neutral only radiating a bit of the anger still boiling inside him.

    Jimmy and Token looked to each other and Jimmy nodded,
    letting Token speak first
    "My uh... Parents are loosing their money. I might end up as poor as Kenny."

  • "I can pay rent for the three of us to help you. But if we're ever any trouble, don't hesitate to kick us out."

  • [align=center][size=4]The world is ugly. But you are beautiful to me. [/size]


    "I wasint worries about that. I was worried you'd not want to stay."
    Token told him, his gaze traveling to the ground for a while, a small silence misting over the group of 3.

  • "You think your parents running out of money is going to make me think twice from getting away from my dad?" Craig asked, putting a hand on his shoulder. "It's ok, dude."
