"NO!" Cherry cried. "I KILLED MUFFINS?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgJpyjmfnB
"No" said the doctor. "Remember your old room mate, Lily?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpum60EXjRi
"Oh" said Cherry. "THAT pathetic bag of flea dirt?'
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAuSDdVZQe
"Well then" said the doctor. "I guess you don't care that YOUR name was in her suicide note before methamphetamine killed her"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydJxwbjLsc
"W-what?" Cherry gasped.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C7ygdD3jE
"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.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5HtkjqYSy
Pixie took her to see him. It was her first time visiting Muffins, too. She saw Stitch and immediately left Cherry in there.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaKMyhPpiZ
"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"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXxWTiaE4b
"Stitch, you're nasty" Pixie said, and she walked towards the elevators.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kc1ryWrFh
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.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHT7jBK6aFd
"Cher" Stitch said, putting his hand on her shoulder.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFfhW4ZXpk
"I did this to him" Cherry sniffled, between sobs. "And I was feeling bad for ME. Just look at him!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKFCSNQDzk
"He'll be alright" Stitch said, unsure of himself.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsvXmDDkah
Cherry struggled, but achieved to bury her head in Stitch's chest.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORbw08A96H
Stitch put his arms around her.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPG5tqBWi31
"Ew, Stitch, you smell" she said.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8fpoEVsJio
"Today was the first time I left this room" said Stitch. "And that wasn't even for 1 minute"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZfwH8k3Xh
"Go to school" said Cherry.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcqUIwxuhU
"I can't like this!" said Stitch. "My best friend is in a coma!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYvqoaqGXq
"And it's my fault" said Cherry. "I'm sorry"
She walked over to the bed.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTWl5cBbEd
"Wanna dial a prayer?" Stitch asked.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgjmIJMjdS
"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"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFs8mpeRAZK
His eyes didn't move.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgun78c7CI
"Here" said Stitch, handing her both pieces of her sweatshirt.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVWKTxaYgk
"Keep half here" said Cherry, and she walked out the door.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJopKsYQq7
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYE244nb0nH
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcVeibfTzk
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"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9ZiZ3QHzd
"You look fine" said Strawberry. "And why?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDknDuHRwT
"1st period English" said Cherry. "Means facing Spanky "
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZslv5qgd8t
"Ew" said Strawberry.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp95GnbElke
"Strawberry, you don't understand" said Cherry. "I crashed into his house"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1zK701gJA
"It's alright" said Strawberry. "He deserved it"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUrmAFzT93
"Hey Cherry" Stacey walked past them.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHRlyoGxH3
Cherry blushed. "Hey Stacey"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoN6tD5oMV3
"Hey Stacey" Strawberry mimicked.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gP4j4dTL4
Cherry slapped her. "Don't" she said. "So how's Muffins?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpGZtCSj3c
"Still hasn't woken up" Strawberry said seriously.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡak1URWX3Yr
Kiwi walked up.
"That's wonderful!" she said.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjs2g83XCi
"No it's not" said Cherry. "He might die because of me"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a0Q5l3CDv
"Cherry, stop worrying about it" said Strawberry. "And Kiwi, shut the fuck up"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZ7DN2wtWu
Cherry broke down into tears.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVbzJ1J3KP
"It's ok" Strawberry comforted her.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGYO4GNWXG
"No, it's not" said Cherry.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFez1X0Z56
"Look, Cher, I'm sorry" said Kiwi. "I'm not the biggest Muffins fan, as you know "
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ07EAbjCSm
"It's alright" said Cherry. "You didn't kill a man"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfixsN1Yxv
Ringo walked up, eating a bagel. "Old Muffy died?" he took another bite.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVkJ6MyxaPv
"RINGO I DON'T NEED THIS!" Cherry exploded. "YOU'RE SUCH A JERK!"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI41aRra3l3
"Whoa, there, cowgirl" Ringo threw the wrapper on the ground. "Just asking, God. Don't throw a hissy fit"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFndKQtMB8
"I'd just prefer if you'd leave me alone. Kay." said Cherry.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCo3QWuMKu6
"How are you doing?" Ringo asked seriously.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVXKSZagU4
"I'm fine" said Cherry. "Now just leave me alone, please"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuVIkath5f
"Fine" said Ringo. "God"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpaUvqhEEF
The bell rang.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxJBW85qsO
"Oh no" said Cherry.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWjJXC1kug
"Come on, Cherry" said Carlotta . "Let's go"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81rUYFWs8s
"Good luck" said Strawberry.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfSefUzz6t
"Thanks" said Cherry.
Her & Carlotta walked into their English class and sat down.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJjzDKNztk
Spanky was talking to Lizard. He spotted Cherry and walked over to her.
"What's wrong with your neck?" he asked.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvLdOZmw1g
"I broke it" Cherry said quietly.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwGIDwgRO2
"My computer got smashed" said Spanky.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXLDyoqE6V
"Look, Spanky, I'm sorry" said Cherry.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JouDqadYU
"My mom blamed me" Spanky continued. "I'm not allowed to pet my dog, and I have to clean the piano keys with yogurt"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrgD7UMick
"Wow" said Cherry. "Your parents are WEIRD"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaliXgA9JV4
"Yeah" said Spanky. "Look, I'm really glad you're ok"
He grabbed her hand.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6nIVg1vRJ
"Spanky!" Cherry slapped his hands away.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgAkqLN5o8Y
"I heard you hit Muffins, too" Spanky said, ignoring what just happened.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaexoOty037
"Yeah" said Cherry.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTlvvmioM3
"Did you see his car?" asked Spanky.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitwFbTdIZ5
"No" said Cherry. "But I saw the hole in the corner of your house"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6e3rrLer7
"Well look in Muffins' backyard" Spanky said, ignoring her again.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqguA1svc2l
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.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9cXDCLPWgo
Muffins' mom looked out the window of her house.
"Cherry!" she called.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWBKnv44vh
Cherry stood there, frozen with fear.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0yp7AxTyD
His mom came outside, and put her hand on Cherry's shoulder.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuug1QY7u4
"I'm so sorry" Cherry sobbed.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEkvePY6K2B
"My baby's in a coma" Muffins' mom sobbed even louder. "Come inside" she led Cherry into the house.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdinaoVM0lX
"Do I have to go to court?" Cherry asked quietly.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVijsTXABZ8
"His father and I are still deciding" said Muffins' mom.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYLCj3zTxH
"I understand" said Cherry.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPySSiu2ge5
"Have a seat" Muffins' mom said, as they got into the kitchen. "Would you like some hot cocoa?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24MgFLAHP2
"Um" said Cherry. "I put your son in a coma. Why are you being so nice to me?"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoj2Jc6YcTz
"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"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2uaAzRpTc
Cherry picked it up. "Aww" she said. "He was a cute baby"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjjTIn96qa
"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"
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkv34NDA6j
"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.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6SFljWg3D
A small tear dropped onto the page. "You must really love him" Cherry whispered.
304Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7w1Pnk0xx5
"Yes I do" His mom said quietly.
