"NO!" Cherry cried. "I KILLED MUFFINS?"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M0xckuvm5
"No" said the doctor. "Remember your old room mate, Lily?"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxzbH3Md3y
"Oh" said Cherry. "THAT pathetic bag of flea dirt?'
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhwMy4al6O
"Well then" said the doctor. "I guess you don't care that YOUR name was in her suicide note before methamphetamine killed her"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCjUodjlGj
"W-what?" Cherry gasped.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRv4wQfSgeN
"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.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDGj1y6J9T
Pixie took her to see him. It was her first time visiting Muffins, too. She saw Stitch and immediately left Cherry in there.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPKiK1eLD2
"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"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAINTBkUyH
"Stitch, you're nasty" Pixie said, and she walked towards the elevators.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOS5JjvJkR
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.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ4ln8lxka
"Cher" Stitch said, putting his hand on her shoulder.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgJ2jVN2nT
"I did this to him" Cherry sniffled, between sobs. "And I was feeling bad for ME. Just look at him!"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgyRQ5wpJ8
"He'll be alright" Stitch said, unsure of himself.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4icLzuSweX
Cherry struggled, but achieved to bury her head in Stitch's chest.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhh2pQhEwai
Stitch put his arms around her.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkcH0IrEfXc
"Ew, Stitch, you smell" she said.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYEaAZUPLCq
"Today was the first time I left this room" said Stitch. "And that wasn't even for 1 minute"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLoFWLsLOa
"Go to school" said Cherry.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVEaxuwfM0
"I can't like this!" said Stitch. "My best friend is in a coma!"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehMwcoMTCl
"And it's my fault" said Cherry. "I'm sorry"
She walked over to the bed.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEUiHL3K5s
"Wanna dial a prayer?" Stitch asked.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWctC1SU4tQ
"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"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt4LRBvRIN
His eyes didn't move.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm32hV5TgsD
"Here" said Stitch, handing her both pieces of her sweatshirt.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjSIgIZlR2
"Keep half here" said Cherry, and she walked out the door.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCns99GzAi

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"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHuZm2bvgA
"You look fine" said Strawberry. "And why?"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfHNuMumt5
"1st period English" said Cherry. "Means facing Spanky "
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbFRtNbEDl
"Ew" said Strawberry.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwCAGoQHEu
"Strawberry, you don't understand" said Cherry. "I crashed into his house"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdveNnTzcp
"It's alright" said Strawberry. "He deserved it"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uyrdKQ61V
"Hey Cherry" Stacey walked past them.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSEvUQ367a
Cherry blushed. "Hey Stacey"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevq5oZKVua
"Hey Stacey" Strawberry mimicked.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6Ebfv42Wf
Cherry slapped her. "Don't" she said. "So how's Muffins?"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwYZpxBhCP
"Still hasn't woken up" Strawberry said seriously.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡosYkphLlTi
Kiwi walked up.
"That's wonderful!" she said.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeKOdZA2wm
"No it's not" said Cherry. "He might die because of me"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNSTHdesf8
"Cherry, stop worrying about it" said Strawberry. "And Kiwi, shut the fuck up"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSIdEUA5kb
Cherry broke down into tears.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkiVKZ0fia
"It's ok" Strawberry comforted her.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJoDiWEwL8
"No, it's not" said Cherry.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4D0WWX7vA
"Look, Cher, I'm sorry" said Kiwi. "I'm not the biggest Muffins fan, as you know "
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3tU4f0oPN
"It's alright" said Cherry. "You didn't kill a man"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt7Bf66vov
Ringo walked up, eating a bagel. "Old Muffy died?" he took another bite.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDfzPWlqmp
"RINGO I DON'T NEED THIS!" Cherry exploded. "YOU'RE SUCH A JERK!"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQEyzd5LoH
"Whoa, there, cowgirl" Ringo threw the wrapper on the ground. "Just asking, God. Don't throw a hissy fit"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNoW2KdsYt
"I'd just prefer if you'd leave me alone. Kay." said Cherry.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaL9I008YC
"How are you doing?" Ringo asked seriously.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3TmOMEnaQ
"I'm fine" said Cherry. "Now just leave me alone, please"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjszuiRMboj
"Fine" said Ringo. "God"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOqsgLZZj9
The bell rang.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYugLFdVhe
"Oh no" said Cherry.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcSfeXfiyX
"Come on, Cherry" said Carlotta . "Let's go"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks3LqqPuwF
"Good luck" said Strawberry.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFSOrxchIp5
"Thanks" said Cherry.
Her & Carlotta walked into their English class and sat down.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTZMW1kyi8
Spanky was talking to Lizard. He spotted Cherry and walked over to her.
"What's wrong with your neck?" he asked.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2hNKEXKVU
"I broke it" Cherry said quietly.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgklN1FC3gz
"My computer got smashed" said Spanky.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcdlhNZavs
"Look, Spanky, I'm sorry" said Cherry.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3w5NOOgeoN
"My mom blamed me" Spanky continued. "I'm not allowed to pet my dog, and I have to clean the piano keys with yogurt"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERex0ilJVx
"Wow" said Cherry. "Your parents are WEIRD"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkXEobbv1n
"Yeah" said Spanky. "Look, I'm really glad you're ok"
He grabbed her hand.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeV8JhcAh3
"Spanky!" Cherry slapped his hands away.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMc1KSL0pDr
"I heard you hit Muffins, too" Spanky said, ignoring what just happened.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeOT0ZY2X8k
"Yeah" said Cherry.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJm7BtF43es
"Did you see his car?" asked Spanky.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ePOmuJ0dI
"No" said Cherry. "But I saw the hole in the corner of your house"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwsEGAHsfO
"Well look in Muffins' backyard" Spanky said, ignoring her again.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvQypOjd4n
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.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSo3uIKwyD
Muffins' mom looked out the window of her house.
"Cherry!" she called.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2HU4o9fksU
Cherry stood there, frozen with fear.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL88Nc07TgG
His mom came outside, and put her hand on Cherry's shoulder.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRxu7RrugP
"I'm so sorry" Cherry sobbed.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdguw1wdoS
"My baby's in a coma" Muffins' mom sobbed even louder. "Come inside" she led Cherry into the house.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4f3RFnEVK
"Do I have to go to court?" Cherry asked quietly.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOujCyVVQS
"His father and I are still deciding" said Muffins' mom.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgyBODFTr9
"I understand" said Cherry.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcvF1QNlIT
"Have a seat" Muffins' mom said, as they got into the kitchen. "Would you like some hot cocoa?"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA14AZ8HFu
"Um" said Cherry. "I put your son in a coma. Why are you being so nice to me?"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2vOtmtUVv
"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"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0LsUypwTV
Cherry picked it up. "Aww" she said. "He was a cute baby"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVM4Cf7rwu
"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"
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qN05yCY5d
"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.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDH3OoaHFWn
A small tear dropped onto the page. "You must really love him" Cherry whispered.
277Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yt2WLiMSA
"Yes I do" His mom said quietly.
