"NO!" Cherry cried. "I KILLED MUFFINS?"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX7zP3FS0Ij
"No" said the doctor. "Remember your old room mate, Lily?"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRWn0160Zd
"Oh" said Cherry. "THAT pathetic bag of flea dirt?'
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF8o4ehe9t
"Well then" said the doctor. "I guess you don't care that YOUR name was in her suicide note before methamphetamine killed her"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGP7AWkazbl
"W-what?" Cherry gasped.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9Qt8Xm1Dw
"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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uHKHIDvdD
Pixie took her to see him. It was her first time visiting Muffins, too. She saw Stitch and immediately left Cherry in there.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKULRdL5bX6
"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"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflKnNGD1g2
"Stitch, you're nasty" Pixie said, and she walked towards the elevators.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnwIT2Pd5E
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhXl1Pi7Eg
"Cher" Stitch said, putting his hand on her shoulder.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qSXbiGhQO
"I did this to him" Cherry sniffled, between sobs. "And I was feeling bad for ME. Just look at him!"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIUtnH1p1F
"He'll be alright" Stitch said, unsure of himself.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTAfdYIdkL
Cherry struggled, but achieved to bury her head in Stitch's chest.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIZdcAn0Gp
Stitch put his arms around her.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzbx45ei9e
"Ew, Stitch, you smell" she said.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsguPyiiLWX
"Today was the first time I left this room" said Stitch. "And that wasn't even for 1 minute"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dE4TX4AU9
"Go to school" said Cherry.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjL8Ej8KA0
"I can't like this!" said Stitch. "My best friend is in a coma!"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn28rddApRa
"And it's my fault" said Cherry. "I'm sorry"
She walked over to the bed.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLlHzcy8lQ
"Wanna dial a prayer?" Stitch asked.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJGMeEp6mK
"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"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEDnJCh7Y7
His eyes didn't move.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ONhfHbnEp
"Here" said Stitch, handing her both pieces of her sweatshirt.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWniPDAiuF6
"Keep half here" said Cherry, and she walked out the door.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqnDjwIIvk

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"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRI73IjPAQ
"You look fine" said Strawberry. "And why?"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyiwpLxMvb
"1st period English" said Cherry. "Means facing Spanky "
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx7CtNXyyU
"Ew" said Strawberry.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkS3ke2s8h
"Strawberry, you don't understand" said Cherry. "I crashed into his house"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zcIiCt5GY
"It's alright" said Strawberry. "He deserved it"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdR1zaSWIf
"Hey Cherry" Stacey walked past them.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGD2qY2qgI
Cherry blushed. "Hey Stacey"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf0pqTN5Hi
"Hey Stacey" Strawberry mimicked.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTgU82Ovfx
Cherry slapped her. "Don't" she said. "So how's Muffins?"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfl27qI6Kyq
"Still hasn't woken up" Strawberry said seriously.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q6vUp1pXb
Kiwi walked up.
"That's wonderful!" she said.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡju7fhlF2oX
"No it's not" said Cherry. "He might die because of me"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1CbNb0D12
"Cherry, stop worrying about it" said Strawberry. "And Kiwi, shut the fuck up"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRehzJAhZDP
Cherry broke down into tears.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWXDI25lgi
"It's ok" Strawberry comforted her.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2XMIPjbVeY
"No, it's not" said Cherry.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGa1a87kASC
"Look, Cher, I'm sorry" said Kiwi. "I'm not the biggest Muffins fan, as you know "
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw08YL2J4kQ
"It's alright" said Cherry. "You didn't kill a man"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIbb3KpZFG
Ringo walked up, eating a bagel. "Old Muffy died?" he took another bite.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdIPD4AZlF
"RINGO I DON'T NEED THIS!" Cherry exploded. "YOU'RE SUCH A JERK!"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyY4fwgGBV
"Whoa, there, cowgirl" Ringo threw the wrapper on the ground. "Just asking, God. Don't throw a hissy fit"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bI21UIQbF
"I'd just prefer if you'd leave me alone. Kay." said Cherry.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUaFFy4QKm
"How are you doing?" Ringo asked seriously.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHUIkVGo97
"I'm fine" said Cherry. "Now just leave me alone, please"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJlHQ04uyy
"Fine" said Ringo. "God"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC60czfQjas
The bell rang.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE91xtH59l7
"Oh no" said Cherry.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbOhCyl3qL
"Come on, Cherry" said Carlotta . "Let's go"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvXmOvoTPL
"Good luck" said Strawberry.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJYWaRjc0Z
"Thanks" said Cherry.
Her & Carlotta walked into their English class and sat down.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVBirAaVZH
Spanky was talking to Lizard. He spotted Cherry and walked over to her.
"What's wrong with your neck?" he asked.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1mS8JS05b
"I broke it" Cherry said quietly.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Xu2FI3GiB
"My computer got smashed" said Spanky.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zmVgD6VWz
"Look, Spanky, I'm sorry" said Cherry.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ApOSovjoy
"My mom blamed me" Spanky continued. "I'm not allowed to pet my dog, and I have to clean the piano keys with yogurt"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNcmjWZZZM
"Wow" said Cherry. "Your parents are WEIRD"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdCzDWXoCU
"Yeah" said Spanky. "Look, I'm really glad you're ok"
He grabbed her hand.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAEbAkn84J
"Spanky!" Cherry slapped his hands away.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchZciuzDHy
"I heard you hit Muffins, too" Spanky said, ignoring what just happened.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesYjuj1cVT
"Yeah" said Cherry.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTqIknyJ70
"Did you see his car?" asked Spanky.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQxuMATAhG
"No" said Cherry. "But I saw the hole in the corner of your house"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx5gDbXk5z
"Well look in Muffins' backyard" Spanky said, ignoring her again.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd21SviLFg
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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhFYOuY1An
Muffins' mom looked out the window of her house.
"Cherry!" she called.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzMrqhYnhn
Cherry stood there, frozen with fear.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL9yZxRUbi
His mom came outside, and put her hand on Cherry's shoulder.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEY5EooXhF
"I'm so sorry" Cherry sobbed.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX1bvRS7wY
"My baby's in a coma" Muffins' mom sobbed even louder. "Come inside" she led Cherry into the house.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1KDU48RL3
"Do I have to go to court?" Cherry asked quietly.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj0MioNV4Z
"His father and I are still deciding" said Muffins' mom.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFc47b6OfgF
"I understand" said Cherry.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIj3sqXFtE
"Have a seat" Muffins' mom said, as they got into the kitchen. "Would you like some hot cocoa?"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaALMI0Zk57
"Um" said Cherry. "I put your son in a coma. Why are you being so nice to me?"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0roEeUsL7I
"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"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFq3S1f56f
Cherry picked it up. "Aww" she said. "He was a cute baby"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXosJnDalTd
"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"
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYerBTgqPH2
"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.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeduHrdB3c
A small tear dropped onto the page. "You must really love him" Cherry whispered.
238Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnJplo4fgw
"Yes I do" His mom said quietly.
