"NO!" Cherry cried. "I KILLED MUFFINS?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5SzmyOjRY
"No" said the doctor. "Remember your old room mate, Lily?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ixShImK8B
"Oh" said Cherry. "THAT pathetic bag of flea dirt?'
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIP9BONYD8p
"Well then" said the doctor. "I guess you don't care that YOUR name was in her suicide note before methamphetamine killed her"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8PiLwCZhvU
"W-what?" Cherry gasped.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3JlrBdlUy
"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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKR62Nipf2
Pixie took her to see him. It was her first time visiting Muffins, too. She saw Stitch and immediately left Cherry in there.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtzVS8nbUS
"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"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC8zSAoyHZ
"Stitch, you're nasty" Pixie said, and she walked towards the elevators.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQx0HlH9PE6
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdAa3GFzUQ
"Cher" Stitch said, putting his hand on her shoulder.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowUgiyOvmS
"I did this to him" Cherry sniffled, between sobs. "And I was feeling bad for ME. Just look at him!"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRbL7nxtLI
"He'll be alright" Stitch said, unsure of himself.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡku8sjjsmfI
Cherry struggled, but achieved to bury her head in Stitch's chest.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0waaEIZyRF
Stitch put his arms around her.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRFQgYjGmp
"Ew, Stitch, you smell" she said.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoByGtkubS1
"Today was the first time I left this room" said Stitch. "And that wasn't even for 1 minute"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPwDp47JjF
"Go to school" said Cherry.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiX20uxAY5
"I can't like this!" said Stitch. "My best friend is in a coma!"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAQmAFF4B9
"And it's my fault" said Cherry. "I'm sorry"
She walked over to the bed.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oH9Q1misu
"Wanna dial a prayer?" Stitch asked.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkdYDScf3c
"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"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk11Lah5Z8h
His eyes didn't move.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj6pmdgyyD
"Here" said Stitch, handing her both pieces of her sweatshirt.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgvVbjDOpu
"Keep half here" said Cherry, and she walked out the door.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD00WopD22J
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSCkrrgi0D
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDZrdKkGtD
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"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagPLCBngBb
"You look fine" said Strawberry. "And why?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT36kdsw0cJ
"1st period English" said Cherry. "Means facing Spanky "
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85Cv1kVOJY
"Ew" said Strawberry.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41yuDl3ScH
"Strawberry, you don't understand" said Cherry. "I crashed into his house"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT7ELZwrHO
"It's alright" said Strawberry. "He deserved it"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9uAlmN7IS
"Hey Cherry" Stacey walked past them.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEQCPcgF4G
Cherry blushed. "Hey Stacey"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZOCsHPCsn
"Hey Stacey" Strawberry mimicked.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZke8VWWjZ
Cherry slapped her. "Don't" she said. "So how's Muffins?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48vjEfY3wo
"Still hasn't woken up" Strawberry said seriously.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lA1Yq2ybZ
Kiwi walked up.
"That's wonderful!" she said.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62rkWlXfnM
"No it's not" said Cherry. "He might die because of me"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXhKGwqdtI
"Cherry, stop worrying about it" said Strawberry. "And Kiwi, shut the fuck up"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡym9EQSTuTG
Cherry broke down into tears.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhE1tXwfEM
"It's ok" Strawberry comforted her.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhADq2LokOj
"No, it's not" said Cherry.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlSD91ggVJ
"Look, Cher, I'm sorry" said Kiwi. "I'm not the biggest Muffins fan, as you know "
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGKUED33sz
"It's alright" said Cherry. "You didn't kill a man"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBixOrYnuZV
Ringo walked up, eating a bagel. "Old Muffy died?" he took another bite.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvQm4AOqmT
"RINGO I DON'T NEED THIS!" Cherry exploded. "YOU'RE SUCH A JERK!"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDg9xvpVEn
"Whoa, there, cowgirl" Ringo threw the wrapper on the ground. "Just asking, God. Don't throw a hissy fit"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6y4iiByaZv
"I'd just prefer if you'd leave me alone. Kay." said Cherry.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgl43t2pBcO
"How are you doing?" Ringo asked seriously.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKI7U5TccD1
"I'm fine" said Cherry. "Now just leave me alone, please"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQGIbztzlY
"Fine" said Ringo. "God"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDAC5atImj
The bell rang.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wZKQf5EgN
"Oh no" said Cherry.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLLt5hrtyJ
"Come on, Cherry" said Carlotta . "Let's go"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡikceimF87r
"Good luck" said Strawberry.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNwWwjbvDH
"Thanks" said Cherry.
Her & Carlotta walked into their English class and sat down.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiuZzr1mgr
Spanky was talking to Lizard. He spotted Cherry and walked over to her.
"What's wrong with your neck?" he asked.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7GOcTD3rY
"I broke it" Cherry said quietly.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdgHbJCzte
"My computer got smashed" said Spanky.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobY9Q1wQRZ
"Look, Spanky, I'm sorry" said Cherry.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr46RQYTpJw
"My mom blamed me" Spanky continued. "I'm not allowed to pet my dog, and I have to clean the piano keys with yogurt"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE2XIYVXDI
"Wow" said Cherry. "Your parents are WEIRD"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvrZ6INZ1K
"Yeah" said Spanky. "Look, I'm really glad you're ok"
He grabbed her hand.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlB8grkwDDJ
"Spanky!" Cherry slapped his hands away.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmaSKt67D4
"I heard you hit Muffins, too" Spanky said, ignoring what just happened.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSAAf7TYvG
"Yeah" said Cherry.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYC154tIzo
"Did you see his car?" asked Spanky.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiOu8wJWg5
"No" said Cherry. "But I saw the hole in the corner of your house"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QY4tOhBdW
"Well look in Muffins' backyard" Spanky said, ignoring her again.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIBxpZthqZ
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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsphfVVcrNr
Muffins' mom looked out the window of her house.
"Cherry!" she called.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ODd8sMcN1
Cherry stood there, frozen with fear.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy8mhZIF4n
His mom came outside, and put her hand on Cherry's shoulder.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoaJVZ5eMw
"I'm so sorry" Cherry sobbed.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwULVkNbCfT
"My baby's in a coma" Muffins' mom sobbed even louder. "Come inside" she led Cherry into the house.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQoYCnczWh
"Do I have to go to court?" Cherry asked quietly.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMZuIt9sRr
"His father and I are still deciding" said Muffins' mom.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUn1ksEYzj5
"I understand" said Cherry.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNafjI8xK9t
"Have a seat" Muffins' mom said, as they got into the kitchen. "Would you like some hot cocoa?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2hhXSAyC3
"Um" said Cherry. "I put your son in a coma. Why are you being so nice to me?"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwND8OFTls
"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"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWFDl5x40O
Cherry picked it up. "Aww" she said. "He was a cute baby"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡELvNEI6xUp
"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"
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAUChXsLzM
"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.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgJ0ElIx0p
A small tear dropped onto the page. "You must really love him" Cherry whispered.
239Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS14hrgU33u
"Yes I do" His mom said quietly.
