"NO!" Cherry cried. "I KILLED MUFFINS?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9JDhaCUpM9
"No" said the doctor. "Remember your old room mate, Lily?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkTjd2hcMG
"Oh" said Cherry. "THAT pathetic bag of flea dirt?'
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtdJzulEmV
"Well then" said the doctor. "I guess you don't care that YOUR name was in her suicide note before methamphetamine killed her"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7PTTAtf9l
"W-what?" Cherry gasped.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ06ZPHauVb
"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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgqnViFlyf
Pixie took her to see him. It was her first time visiting Muffins, too. She saw Stitch and immediately left Cherry in there.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIpxHuT9Vx
"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"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOa6qdD1zvc
"Stitch, you're nasty" Pixie said, and she walked towards the elevators.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2jCB26sfF
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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfcaHTWqi4
"Cher" Stitch said, putting his hand on her shoulder.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiN090d1pu
"I did this to him" Cherry sniffled, between sobs. "And I was feeling bad for ME. Just look at him!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRPxNwkbzs
"He'll be alright" Stitch said, unsure of himself.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmoPDR7Rnu
Cherry struggled, but achieved to bury her head in Stitch's chest.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC20Q9EhHpW
Stitch put his arms around her.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1n4S5k7MBX
"Ew, Stitch, you smell" she said.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGorI8VK1c
"Today was the first time I left this room" said Stitch. "And that wasn't even for 1 minute"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wl5gbhDSP
"Go to school" said Cherry.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupcKPXSzlY
"I can't like this!" said Stitch. "My best friend is in a coma!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTPQHanhxK
"And it's my fault" said Cherry. "I'm sorry"
She walked over to the bed.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOFWZMelED
"Wanna dial a prayer?" Stitch asked.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhQaujzkYN
"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"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrH9RLrMxT
His eyes didn't move.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY0SWROJbR
"Here" said Stitch, handing her both pieces of her sweatshirt.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf4mrwxQkO
"Keep half here" said Cherry, and she walked out the door.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazglHBo82P

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"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6q8Z7aDP6
"You look fine" said Strawberry. "And why?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkEFN1NRUY
"1st period English" said Cherry. "Means facing Spanky "
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgehjCxfgKZ
"Ew" said Strawberry.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dCj8qosAG
"Strawberry, you don't understand" said Cherry. "I crashed into his house"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6OvLst4z0
"It's alright" said Strawberry. "He deserved it"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLT8qkmnay
"Hey Cherry" Stacey walked past them.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9bLYGLSCU
Cherry blushed. "Hey Stacey"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUGu6aINWG
"Hey Stacey" Strawberry mimicked.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjedbZGg3O
Cherry slapped her. "Don't" she said. "So how's Muffins?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvlUZ8wiRIs
"Still hasn't woken up" Strawberry said seriously.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtw2Qlfwqg
Kiwi walked up.
"That's wonderful!" she said.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54xELGzq0i
"No it's not" said Cherry. "He might die because of me"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp06EUuNnxU
"Cherry, stop worrying about it" said Strawberry. "And Kiwi, shut the fuck up"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwf9RcPp1pC
Cherry broke down into tears.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0Ga6NEc9m
"It's ok" Strawberry comforted her.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡweQ41S9Icx
"No, it's not" said Cherry.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDruAPto1PX
"Look, Cher, I'm sorry" said Kiwi. "I'm not the biggest Muffins fan, as you know "
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VsW1YulXs
"It's alright" said Cherry. "You didn't kill a man"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN00GHnnR3
Ringo walked up, eating a bagel. "Old Muffy died?" he took another bite.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQo74lFlld
"RINGO I DON'T NEED THIS!" Cherry exploded. "YOU'RE SUCH A JERK!"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxdd94PStb
"Whoa, there, cowgirl" Ringo threw the wrapper on the ground. "Just asking, God. Don't throw a hissy fit"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMDZbu2uqT
"I'd just prefer if you'd leave me alone. Kay." said Cherry.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeQLa2H6Xl
"How are you doing?" Ringo asked seriously.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzf3VfTgTc
"I'm fine" said Cherry. "Now just leave me alone, please"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXf34x12Ar
"Fine" said Ringo. "God"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHvD4vwEuk
The bell rang.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPhFXcpBg7
"Oh no" said Cherry.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUjZY7dQ8A
"Come on, Cherry" said Carlotta . "Let's go"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNvTkKQgsH
"Good luck" said Strawberry.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UBSNY3smV
"Thanks" said Cherry.
Her & Carlotta walked into their English class and sat down.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEtYULYsYba
Spanky was talking to Lizard. He spotted Cherry and walked over to her.
"What's wrong with your neck?" he asked.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gxWYR7mBr
"I broke it" Cherry said quietly.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPctufTBRsS
"My computer got smashed" said Spanky.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWU1ijre0eQ
"Look, Spanky, I'm sorry" said Cherry.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqTGE2uoNW
"My mom blamed me" Spanky continued. "I'm not allowed to pet my dog, and I have to clean the piano keys with yogurt"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7ylmwF4gK
"Wow" said Cherry. "Your parents are WEIRD"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8lnr7LLxL
"Yeah" said Spanky. "Look, I'm really glad you're ok"
He grabbed her hand.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU07m5SIyRJ
"Spanky!" Cherry slapped his hands away.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8vNZAIzQ4
"I heard you hit Muffins, too" Spanky said, ignoring what just happened.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyv1NMdBiYt
"Yeah" said Cherry.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHfsMEje5M
"Did you see his car?" asked Spanky.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCFDToPRaA
"No" said Cherry. "But I saw the hole in the corner of your house"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyJemu1PMr
"Well look in Muffins' backyard" Spanky said, ignoring her again.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mMIhh5SUk
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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsw67tB6mb4
Muffins' mom looked out the window of her house.
"Cherry!" she called.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34HnTy9W6C
Cherry stood there, frozen with fear.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EOvBXOxrf
His mom came outside, and put her hand on Cherry's shoulder.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4Yp2mUQOV
"I'm so sorry" Cherry sobbed.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4SBxXdgpb
"My baby's in a coma" Muffins' mom sobbed even louder. "Come inside" she led Cherry into the house.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmRPqzjjAm
"Do I have to go to court?" Cherry asked quietly.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrb2vtWpKM
"His father and I are still deciding" said Muffins' mom.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxxgFgtpRt
"I understand" said Cherry.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy8VWMvT2Y
"Have a seat" Muffins' mom said, as they got into the kitchen. "Would you like some hot cocoa?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMG7zQsjAF
"Um" said Cherry. "I put your son in a coma. Why are you being so nice to me?"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZGYqHQJPy
"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"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysAPXlT5Kk
Cherry picked it up. "Aww" she said. "He was a cute baby"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQwsoN3ucs
"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"
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldgKIYyezy
"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.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2mz4O1Dzk
A small tear dropped onto the page. "You must really love him" Cherry whispered.
248Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWr0HnBm3Kd
"Yes I do" His mom said quietly.
