"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.
238Please respect copyright.PENANArfdYd8paDx

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.
