"NO!" Cherry cried. "I KILLED MUFFINS?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOrseGpGlV
"No" said the doctor. "Remember your old room mate, Lily?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokp3XhdBs1
"Oh" said Cherry. "THAT pathetic bag of flea dirt?'
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZjtlnD5JC
"Well then" said the doctor. "I guess you don't care that YOUR name was in her suicide note before methamphetamine killed her"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnneKdUTH9K
"W-what?" Cherry gasped.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9BClKAnvwi
"It's true" said the doctor, as he walked out of the room.

Cherry was allowed to go home 6 days later.
"I need to see Muffins" she said.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSlCbEhHGk
Pixie took her to see him. It was her first time visiting Muffins, too. She saw Stitch and immediately left Cherry in there.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV182UR3GVz
"Pix!" Stitch called. He walked into the hallway.
"You're the only person I've left that room for" he said. "I haven't changed my clothes, showered, or brushed my teeth in almost a week. I've been using a bedside commode instead of a regular toilet. I've been with Muffins. Now I wanna be with you"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYbM7EA33L
"Stitch, you're nasty" Pixie said, and she walked towards the elevators.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKvka5STnr
Stitch sighed, and walked back into the room, where Cherry was crying. She had hit a person, and a house. All she had was a broken neck. Yes, that's right. She had broken her neck.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8MkmLP0zq
"Cher" Stitch said, putting his hand on her shoulder.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQQfRNik6H
"I did this to him" Cherry sniffled, between sobs. "And I was feeling bad for ME. Just look at him!"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgcOFK4rPD
"He'll be alright" Stitch said, unsure of himself.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxQgqaf72n
Cherry struggled, but achieved to bury her head in Stitch's chest.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekh9p6XyUw
Stitch put his arms around her.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7iKviSaWI
"Ew, Stitch, you smell" she said.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFxF5SLf7X
"Today was the first time I left this room" said Stitch. "And that wasn't even for 1 minute"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oddDBqPY3
"Go to school" said Cherry.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm20knr2tSz
"I can't like this!" said Stitch. "My best friend is in a coma!"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDANiD85G8V
"And it's my fault" said Cherry. "I'm sorry"
She walked over to the bed.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfowcpvgx4d
"Wanna dial a prayer?" Stitch asked.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEq3DLd6ZpS
"No" Cherry said quietly. "Muffins. I'm sorry that I wrecked your car. And that I hit you. I'll probably have to go to court and get charged, but I'll buy you a new car. I promise. Blink if you can hear me"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXC9fsb9NUP
His eyes didn't move.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZB2Ln7xuB
"Here" said Stitch, handing her both pieces of her sweatshirt.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXctW5nHyQa
"Keep half here" said Cherry, and she walked out the door.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuri4xyfz9M

219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMSymfUJ7J
A few days later, Cherry went back to school.
"I look hideous with this neck brace" she told Strawberry. "Plus, I've been dreading 1st period all week"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarBLHTkaFN
"You look fine" said Strawberry. "And why?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH0Rdydog0
"1st period English" said Cherry. "Means facing Spanky "
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBNXdglXIP
"Ew" said Strawberry.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNlXfarJvk
"Strawberry, you don't understand" said Cherry. "I crashed into his house"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeZkzlbPQor
"It's alright" said Strawberry. "He deserved it"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVligc1HTyC
"Hey Cherry" Stacey walked past them.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ygDS3hZg0
Cherry blushed. "Hey Stacey"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZEoMz6wsE
"Hey Stacey" Strawberry mimicked.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZ6y4ihlz6
Cherry slapped her. "Don't" she said. "So how's Muffins?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNqZWUGq6J
"Still hasn't woken up" Strawberry said seriously.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2evomiQ2g
Kiwi walked up.
"That's wonderful!" she said.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUylgnpgHbY
"No it's not" said Cherry. "He might die because of me"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsDQb66Pvq
"Cherry, stop worrying about it" said Strawberry. "And Kiwi, shut the fuck up"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC2PqiZRbJ
Cherry broke down into tears.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTilPvXfaD
"It's ok" Strawberry comforted her.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMhMNCYBIJ
"No, it's not" said Cherry.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13sDDMk4J7
"Look, Cher, I'm sorry" said Kiwi. "I'm not the biggest Muffins fan, as you know "
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15KbsVbXVo
"It's alright" said Cherry. "You didn't kill a man"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XaSsAuuMO
Ringo walked up, eating a bagel. "Old Muffy died?" he took another bite.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPKxHfwIen
"RINGO I DON'T NEED THIS!" Cherry exploded. "YOU'RE SUCH A JERK!"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti06cwlHHL
"Whoa, there, cowgirl" Ringo threw the wrapper on the ground. "Just asking, God. Don't throw a hissy fit"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDr6x88mLB
"I'd just prefer if you'd leave me alone. Kay." said Cherry.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NWxx5n6dH
"How are you doing?" Ringo asked seriously.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M464PN33r
"I'm fine" said Cherry. "Now just leave me alone, please"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9DNKbSNM1
"Fine" said Ringo. "God"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4dzprwInp
The bell rang.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ejzSShVlk
"Oh no" said Cherry.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSblJ9H7Vev
"Come on, Cherry" said Carlotta . "Let's go"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUp6WEEaS9
"Good luck" said Strawberry.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGtQ9co6oq
"Thanks" said Cherry.
Her & Carlotta walked into their English class and sat down.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlGUW3FUip
Spanky was talking to Lizard. He spotted Cherry and walked over to her.
"What's wrong with your neck?" he asked.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0eX8IrfYl
"I broke it" Cherry said quietly.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0Zj2ypwQ7
"My computer got smashed" said Spanky.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQuTEsVUyt
"Look, Spanky, I'm sorry" said Cherry.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAEMq337es
"My mom blamed me" Spanky continued. "I'm not allowed to pet my dog, and I have to clean the piano keys with yogurt"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HlmbQXWNB
"Wow" said Cherry. "Your parents are WEIRD"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36VFtIAtJq
"Yeah" said Spanky. "Look, I'm really glad you're ok"
He grabbed her hand.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUlnAc4dI1
"Spanky!" Cherry slapped his hands away.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JeejJX9CM
"I heard you hit Muffins, too" Spanky said, ignoring what just happened.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIykavyYr4
"Yeah" said Cherry.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCS7oJjzmJr
"Did you see his car?" asked Spanky.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡricEOqyJCq
"No" said Cherry. "But I saw the hole in the corner of your house"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3qx0UJTdl
"Well look in Muffins' backyard" Spanky said, ignoring her again.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7L3DWit2y
After school, Cherry crossed through Spanky's backyard and looked in Muffins' backyard. There was his brand new car, pretty much his whole life, the whole front smashed in, a sideview mirror hanging by a thread, it was completely ruined.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAgAr1IcOp
Muffins' mom looked out the window of her house.
"Cherry!" she called.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapPZhDd4iU
Cherry stood there, frozen with fear.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGYKP7WiKp
His mom came outside, and put her hand on Cherry's shoulder.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiy25gAnMY
"I'm so sorry" Cherry sobbed.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9yNFc2S9Z
"My baby's in a coma" Muffins' mom sobbed even louder. "Come inside" she led Cherry into the house.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNSl7ukKFc
"Do I have to go to court?" Cherry asked quietly.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WI2fi1IV7
"His father and I are still deciding" said Muffins' mom.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtCi7mePZC
"I understand" said Cherry.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw6OygWTM2
"Have a seat" Muffins' mom said, as they got into the kitchen. "Would you like some hot cocoa?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlBF4cSiAf
"Um" said Cherry. "I put your son in a coma. Why are you being so nice to me?"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmJtMxsWjj
"Because it's hard on you, too. I know it is" said Muffins' mom. "I dug up Muffins' baby book" she continued. "It's right over there on the table"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4JgaDpFMs
Cherry picked it up. "Aww" she said. "He was a cute baby"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9beZlFNQ4C
"Yes he was" his mom smiled, setting a coffee mug in front of Cherry. She leaned over & pointed at the book. "See, there's his little hand print"
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpIkjXlGKV
"It's so small" Cherry said in awe. She turned the pages, looking at his birth measurements, first lock of hair, first tooth he lost, birth certificate, pictures of him taking his first steps, old school pictures, his first word- car, a valentine he made for his mom, pictures of him graduating from preschool, his first date, his hospital bracelet from when he was born, an ultrasound of him, old report cards, it was all in the order of the order of his life. On the last page, before many blank pages, were his temps, a copy of his license, and a picture of him with his new car.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogktiZpdFY
A small tear dropped onto the page. "You must really love him" Cherry whispered.
219Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ode46v22D
"Yes I do" His mom said quietly.
