"NO!" Cherry cried. "I KILLED MUFFINS?"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTXadt7ygs
"No" said the doctor. "Remember your old room mate, Lily?"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj1w8cyDPl
"Oh" said Cherry. "THAT pathetic bag of flea dirt?'
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4W1JjJxu9y
"Well then" said the doctor. "I guess you don't care that YOUR name was in her suicide note before methamphetamine killed her"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UM06dxyle
"W-what?" Cherry gasped.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIARFqMdQRy
"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.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSfIFwXWou
Pixie took her to see him. It was her first time visiting Muffins, too. She saw Stitch and immediately left Cherry in there.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmU6bBPDIe
"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"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXcpUmSWg7
"Stitch, you're nasty" Pixie said, and she walked towards the elevators.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JPU9jrzFN
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.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadimou2nOZ
"Cher" Stitch said, putting his hand on her shoulder.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPNTBhFDOj
"I did this to him" Cherry sniffled, between sobs. "And I was feeling bad for ME. Just look at him!"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTQgweEeEL
"He'll be alright" Stitch said, unsure of himself.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsr5rDJ7Ki8
Cherry struggled, but achieved to bury her head in Stitch's chest.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiE3g92bIkJ
Stitch put his arms around her.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKs33a7x2b
"Ew, Stitch, you smell" she said.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIUcRZsTho
"Today was the first time I left this room" said Stitch. "And that wasn't even for 1 minute"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECaAPkTYIz
"Go to school" said Cherry.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AbVMR7FWC
"I can't like this!" said Stitch. "My best friend is in a coma!"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWdaUq9PQA
"And it's my fault" said Cherry. "I'm sorry"
She walked over to the bed.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMkdzhdymg
"Wanna dial a prayer?" Stitch asked.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYtCIprJM2
"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"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBgkdTxT83
His eyes didn't move.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJx8faZsgLv
"Here" said Stitch, handing her both pieces of her sweatshirt.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KBkGRvjUL
"Keep half here" said Cherry, and she walked out the door.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaZN9ZEMfi
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8f7uCuIEv
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9M37tPbsOs
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"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZhUNpFHw1
"You look fine" said Strawberry. "And why?"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTECOVmUSLy
"1st period English" said Cherry. "Means facing Spanky "
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgLOCFPM0b
"Ew" said Strawberry.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFYS8ktGHv
"Strawberry, you don't understand" said Cherry. "I crashed into his house"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrirGDEBfLJ
"It's alright" said Strawberry. "He deserved it"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcjnMyT2X2
"Hey Cherry" Stacey walked past them.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmLCClyYDGp
Cherry blushed. "Hey Stacey"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfvRTT9F7t
"Hey Stacey" Strawberry mimicked.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4PhCMx1WX
Cherry slapped her. "Don't" she said. "So how's Muffins?"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtOTAc0io8
"Still hasn't woken up" Strawberry said seriously.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0izwHxoYZV
Kiwi walked up.
"That's wonderful!" she said.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuievrNso4
"No it's not" said Cherry. "He might die because of me"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnoSI9IiQd
"Cherry, stop worrying about it" said Strawberry. "And Kiwi, shut the fuck up"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8tLwtQJpN
Cherry broke down into tears.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PbQSjCS6u
"It's ok" Strawberry comforted her.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUvOsKuhAQ
"No, it's not" said Cherry.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3R4NOckfx
"Look, Cher, I'm sorry" said Kiwi. "I'm not the biggest Muffins fan, as you know "
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtotTajAQKN
"It's alright" said Cherry. "You didn't kill a man"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW7xvwAieb
Ringo walked up, eating a bagel. "Old Muffy died?" he took another bite.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sRFgiU64t
"RINGO I DON'T NEED THIS!" Cherry exploded. "YOU'RE SUCH A JERK!"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQZGaeaHbA
"Whoa, there, cowgirl" Ringo threw the wrapper on the ground. "Just asking, God. Don't throw a hissy fit"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVhqyyEVkQ
"I'd just prefer if you'd leave me alone. Kay." said Cherry.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2Jiu5cebM
"How are you doing?" Ringo asked seriously.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSW2IoQn1i
"I'm fine" said Cherry. "Now just leave me alone, please"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfHo3nMM3r
"Fine" said Ringo. "God"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN07D7VcDW
The bell rang.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmoTTdHqfb
"Oh no" said Cherry.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BhjAy2ZG6
"Come on, Cherry" said Carlotta . "Let's go"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDOWUcizQx
"Good luck" said Strawberry.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3c0BgXft7
"Thanks" said Cherry.
Her & Carlotta walked into their English class and sat down.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuDdqzmx6J
Spanky was talking to Lizard. He spotted Cherry and walked over to her.
"What's wrong with your neck?" he asked.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9us2SvnGy
"I broke it" Cherry said quietly.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzho4Sdl5qn
"My computer got smashed" said Spanky.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNpzYjTk5z
"Look, Spanky, I'm sorry" said Cherry.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡui1LgmSMtF
"My mom blamed me" Spanky continued. "I'm not allowed to pet my dog, and I have to clean the piano keys with yogurt"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvqGcg8TGC
"Wow" said Cherry. "Your parents are WEIRD"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNBLKm1zNa
"Yeah" said Spanky. "Look, I'm really glad you're ok"
He grabbed her hand.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLrzPkZWrC
"Spanky!" Cherry slapped his hands away.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGhRDWG8n5
"I heard you hit Muffins, too" Spanky said, ignoring what just happened.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsuMPWMGX7
"Yeah" said Cherry.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavubnVyA37
"Did you see his car?" asked Spanky.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9I9f1blCJj
"No" said Cherry. "But I saw the hole in the corner of your house"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPyYB10owQw
"Well look in Muffins' backyard" Spanky said, ignoring her again.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlrjwP9GDz
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.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PDiyNVqOr
Muffins' mom looked out the window of her house.
"Cherry!" she called.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7ISjTglwK
Cherry stood there, frozen with fear.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CZhUfAyFu
His mom came outside, and put her hand on Cherry's shoulder.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRaxehhKjK
"I'm so sorry" Cherry sobbed.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Rm2QXwvKt
"My baby's in a coma" Muffins' mom sobbed even louder. "Come inside" she led Cherry into the house.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe1BS43WJN
"Do I have to go to court?" Cherry asked quietly.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLGQ0JTluFG
"His father and I are still deciding" said Muffins' mom.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfvoiAjtWL
"I understand" said Cherry.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZytUsnYoXj
"Have a seat" Muffins' mom said, as they got into the kitchen. "Would you like some hot cocoa?"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnam2SBaqIr
"Um" said Cherry. "I put your son in a coma. Why are you being so nice to me?"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61YudCQqLU
"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"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ377PDvQudK
Cherry picked it up. "Aww" she said. "He was a cute baby"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUrczg0qz5
"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"
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSO83O8H8k
"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.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhTkftm8qD
A small tear dropped onto the page. "You must really love him" Cherry whispered.
246Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrtA3lV1v5
"Yes I do" His mom said quietly.
