The next morning, Pixie got to the hospital about ten minutes early. She saw Sully sitting on a bench by the entrance smoking a cigarette.394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ181I4VEBh0

"Can't you read?" Pixie pointed to a huge sign behind him that said 'NO SMOKING ON HOSPITAL PROPERTY'.
"Whatever," Sully said, as he continued smoking. "I'm stressed the fuck out, and this has been how I cope since I was 9 years old"
"You've been smoking cigarettes since you were 9 years old?!" Pixie exclaimed.
"Yep" Sully nodded. "Stole my parents' cigarettes and got hooked. Never bothered trying to quit. Don't really want to"
"Hey guys" Muffins walked up. "You ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be" Pixie said.
"Yeah, let's go" Sully finished off his cigarette and tossed the butt on the ground.
The three of them headed inside and up to the ICU.
"Hi" Pixie said to the nurse at the nurses station. "We're here to see Stitch Green"
The nurse typed a few things into her computer. "Okay, he's in room 412" she said. "But only one visitor at a time"
"Go ahead first, Pixie" Muffins said. "I know you've gotta get back to London"
"Yeah, go ahead" Sully said.
"Thanks" Pixie half-smiled, and headed towards room 412. She walked in to see Stitch with his eyes closed, and his head wrapped in a bandage. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwZ2xIbdOn

"Stitch?" she sat in a chair next to his bed.
"Pixie" Stitch said weakly, opening his eyes and reaching for her hand. "Please don't hate me"
"I could never hate you" Pixie said, grabbing his hand. "I just want you to get better so you can be a father to our daughter"
"Pixie, I can't stop drinking" Stitch admitted. "I relapsed awhile ago, and I didn't tell you. I don't even remember when it was. I hit my head yesterday and I feel fucking stupid."
"You're not stupid, Stitch, you have a concussion" Pixie said. "It won't last forever"
"I asked you to marry me" Stitch continued. "Did we break up for good?"
"I gave you the ring back" Pixie said. "I'm sure it's at your parents' house, at your new place, or in your car. I love you, Stitch, I truly do. But if you ever want to be in a relationship with me again, or marry me, or be in our daughter's life, you need to go to rehab. If you don't, you're gonna die. Then I'll have to find some other guy to marry me and raise London. Is that what you want? Do you want to die like Dale?"
"Wait," Stitch said. "Dale died? He's dead? He can't be dead. How can he be dead?!"
"I'm sorry, Stitch" Pixie said. "I figured someone had told you. I'm sorry that I told you in that way. But yes, he's dead. Strawberry said that you told her that Dale wasn't breathing. Do you remember that?"
"I don't remember yesterday at all" Stitch said. "I only know that I'm being detoxed and I had surgery on my head. What's gonna happen with Dale? I know he has a daughter that's our age. I wonder if she knows."
"Stitch, I don't know" Pixie sighed. "I'm sorry that you lost your friend."
"Pixie, I'm sorry that I hurt you" Stitch said, squeezing her hand a little tighter. "I had already been drinking, I was good at hiding it, I know it's not an excuse. I also know that I can't take back what I did. You don't deserve that. You're an amazing mom, and the most beautiful girl I've ever met. I want us to get married"
"Stitch, you need serious help before I can get back into a relationship with you" Pixie said. "I already told you that"
"I'm sorry, I don't remember you saying that" Stitch said quietly.
"Stitch, you cheated on me" Pixie said. "I had to get tested for STDs."
"I didn't give you an STD" Stitch said.
"No, you didn't, thank God" Pixie said. "But you very well could have. You broke my heart, Stitch. I hope you will accept the help that is going to be offered to you. I have to go now, my mom has London and she has to go to work. I'll talk to you soon, Stitch"
"I love you, Pixie" Stitch said, as Pixie stood up.
"I love you too" Pixie said, and she walked out of the room. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR5WinddgO
"How is he?" Muffins asked Pixie once she made it back to the waiting room. "Is he alert?"
"Yeah, he's talking" Pixie said. "I've gotta get going. Thanks for letting me go first" 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4XuCRY1Wr

She gave Muffins a hug.
"Bye, Pixie" Sully said quietly.
"Yeah, bye" Pixie walked towards the elevator.
"Damn, she really hates me" Sully said. "Go ahead, Muffins. I'm trying to kill time. My parents are not communicating with me about when their flight will land. I have to get them from the airport at some point"
"Alright, here I go" Muffins headed to Stitch's room. "Hey, man" he said, as he entered the room and sat down. "How are you feeling?"
"Man, I have the worst headache" Stitch said. "Pixie visited me. I'm gonna marry that girl"
"I have faith in ya, Bud" Muffins said. "I know how much you love her. You tattooed her name on you. That takes guts. That's there forever"
"Exactly" Stitch said. "I love her so much. I think she wants me to go to rehab"
"We all want you to go to rehab" Muffins said. "Sully talked to your parents. They're on their way back from Spain, and they have offered to pay for rehab"
"My parents know I drank again?!" Stitch exclaimed. "Are they trying to send me where Cherry is?"
"I don't know where Cherry was" Muffins said. "Sully told me this place was on Florida, on the beach. Cherry dipped out early, remember? Ringo refused to pick her up from the airport?"
"Man, I feel stupid" Stitch said. "I don't remember that"
"You're not stupid, Stitch, you have a concussion" Muffins said. "But Sully actually took London with him to go pick her ass up from the airport"
"Oh my God" Stitch said. "Is he back with her?"
"I think so" Muffins said. "I tried to tell him that she was just using him, but he didn't want to hear it. Pixie isn't letting him watch London anymore. That's why you need to go to treatment, so you can be a dad to your daughter"
"I really messed up" Stitch said. "Do you think Pixie will ever forgive me?"
"I think she will, but you have to prove that you're serious" Muffins said. "Go to rehab and show her that you can stay sober. We've still got 6 months until my baby is due, and I want you better by then. You can go to rehab once the hospital medically clears you, and be back in time for the baby. I want you here for that. Not in the delivery room, but you know. What do you say?"
"I mean, I'll probably go" Stitch said. "But Dale is dead. What about Dale? How did he die? Is there gonna be a funeral? Does his daughter know? She's our age, Muffins. And her dad died"
"I didn't know Dale had a daughter" Muffins said. "But he had some health issues. Me and him chatted one day while you were at work. He didn't go into detail. Do you know his daughter?"
"No, they weren't super close" Stitch said. "Her name is Nala Floyd. I never met her"
"I'll find her on Facebook or MySpace or something, don't worry" Muffins said. "Do you have your phone?"
"The nurse gave it to me, but it's busted" Stitch said. "It must have hit the ground when I fell. Stupid razr phone. Maybe I should buy one of those iPhones. It's like the iPod touch, but it's also a phone"
"I'll at least bring your iPod up here" Muffins said. "That way you can use the hospital WiFi and text me while you're here. I've still got that spare key to your apartment. I've gotta go have sex before I have to go to work, so I will bring it up here tomorrow. I love you, Stitch. You're my best friend"
"Thanks for being my friend, Muffins" Stitch said. "I love you too"
Muffins walked back out to the waiting room. 394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5ubVXMqKI

"You're up" he told Sully. "Tell your parents Stitch needs a new phone. His broke. He wants one of those iPhones"
"He has a job" Sully said.
"Who knows if they'll keep his job for him while he's away at rehab?" Muffins asked.
"True" Sully said. "When Mom and Dad called the treatment place, they recommended six months. I'm sure his job would understand, but you never know"
"Wow, six months" Muffins said. "That's a long time"
"Yeah, it's based on his history and stuff" Sully said. "I hope he accepts this"
"Me too" Muffins said. "Go see him. I'm gonna go get laid"
"Have fun" Sully said, as he headed toward Stitch's room.394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNFPkYWL3Q

He walked in and sat down on the bed. "Hey, Brother"
"Sully, man," Stitch said. "Look, I'm really sorry."
"I know you are, Stitch" Sully said. "I've forgiven Cherry, now I've gotta forgive you, too"
"Bro, you seriously took her back?" Stitch asked. "She didn't even finish rehab! She's probably doing coke right now"
"Don't worry about me or her" Sully said. "I'm worried about you. You've been drinking since you were 12. You're only 18. You're too fucking young for this. Don't you want to see your daughter graduate college and get married? Hell, YOU were supposed to go to college and get married! You were engaged!"
"Yeah, and I fucked that up" Stitch said. "I canceled all the classes I had signed up for. I needed to work more so I could pay my rent, so I figured why spend money on college?"
"You didn't have to move out, Stitch" Sully said.
"Yes I did, you were killing me with your death stares and silent treatment" Stitch said.
"I'm sorry for that" Sully said. "I was just so hurt and angry. Anyways, Mom and Dad are officially selling the house and moving south like they were hinting at before they left"
"What?!" Stitch exclaimed.
"I'm buying the house, don't worry" Sully said. "I'm starting at a full time job on Monday. I'm also picking Mom and Dad up at the airport later. Stitch, they're gonna pay your rent if you go to rehab so you don't lose your apartment. And they're paying for rehab, too. Muffins told me about your phone. I'll mention it to them. But come on, man. Don't you want your family back? Pixie needs help with London. She won't let me watch her anymore"
"Is this the same rehab where Cherry went?" Stitch asked.
"No, dude" Sully said. "She was in California. This place is in Florida. On the beach. I looked it up, and it's really nice. You just have to agree to go"
"Fine" Stitch said. "I'll go"394Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj5eXYQu1X
