"NO!" Cherry cried. "I KILLED MUFFINS?"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLRC4XNXoM
"No" said the doctor. "Remember your old room mate, Lily?"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xgx18Nww1
"Oh" said Cherry. "THAT pathetic bag of flea dirt?'
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1DU2S2dpw
"Well then" said the doctor. "I guess you don't care that YOUR name was in her suicide note before methamphetamine killed her"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNBzzcaIXs
"W-what?" Cherry gasped.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv8JZO13sV
"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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrywDtaE74
Pixie took her to see him. It was her first time visiting Muffins, too. She saw Stitch and immediately left Cherry in there.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDy315QhX5h
"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"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zUOxkJQVF
"Stitch, you're nasty" Pixie said, and she walked towards the elevators.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0tWqzcW1b
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUi541gCiD
"Cher" Stitch said, putting his hand on her shoulder.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGatZqyiVdp
"I did this to him" Cherry sniffled, between sobs. "And I was feeling bad for ME. Just look at him!"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgohQDhEnkW
"He'll be alright" Stitch said, unsure of himself.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQxDZO6G0C
Cherry struggled, but achieved to bury her head in Stitch's chest.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CLGipTqBf
Stitch put his arms around her.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWRnD76PtV
"Ew, Stitch, you smell" she said.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsyVSKIHc5
"Today was the first time I left this room" said Stitch. "And that wasn't even for 1 minute"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI7z9P0dFrg
"Go to school" said Cherry.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4cyKJfUnvv
"I can't like this!" said Stitch. "My best friend is in a coma!"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNvIKMXgvEF
"And it's my fault" said Cherry. "I'm sorry"
She walked over to the bed.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmO5GplWu8G
"Wanna dial a prayer?" Stitch asked.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIxqnh3GsW
"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"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWGTieYCjU
His eyes didn't move.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pupC0Pa5K
"Here" said Stitch, handing her both pieces of her sweatshirt.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk4X9ptq1Y
"Keep half here" said Cherry, and she walked out the door.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoNrYDf1tR

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"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMawbrL8AV
"You look fine" said Strawberry. "And why?"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXTdpgfg9Q
"1st period English" said Cherry. "Means facing Spanky "
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7ES8frSwp
"Ew" said Strawberry.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEXyjeUyrW
"Strawberry, you don't understand" said Cherry. "I crashed into his house"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmfjiHGdzv
"It's alright" said Strawberry. "He deserved it"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabNxxVWXrI
"Hey Cherry" Stacey walked past them.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCxMSrqT4A
Cherry blushed. "Hey Stacey"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6gvsuQjE0
"Hey Stacey" Strawberry mimicked.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21srPmfK1N
Cherry slapped her. "Don't" she said. "So how's Muffins?"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKPfh1El0S
"Still hasn't woken up" Strawberry said seriously.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb0HwpchEN
Kiwi walked up.
"That's wonderful!" she said.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGfPXlG8Wo
"No it's not" said Cherry. "He might die because of me"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhlclpLCxU
"Cherry, stop worrying about it" said Strawberry. "And Kiwi, shut the fuck up"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrrGosIPAc
Cherry broke down into tears.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChSv0rTOzh
"It's ok" Strawberry comforted her.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9O8ued5dT
"No, it's not" said Cherry.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWRyTuMfcH
"Look, Cher, I'm sorry" said Kiwi. "I'm not the biggest Muffins fan, as you know "
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGeROtFYRJF
"It's alright" said Cherry. "You didn't kill a man"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WbmFns8hM
Ringo walked up, eating a bagel. "Old Muffy died?" he took another bite.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGIfmNP7ih
"RINGO I DON'T NEED THIS!" Cherry exploded. "YOU'RE SUCH A JERK!"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BnbG4kAsN
"Whoa, there, cowgirl" Ringo threw the wrapper on the ground. "Just asking, God. Don't throw a hissy fit"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcBXIpkNPT
"I'd just prefer if you'd leave me alone. Kay." said Cherry.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3cghiWxUJ
"How are you doing?" Ringo asked seriously.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn30wR8Aq27
"I'm fine" said Cherry. "Now just leave me alone, please"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbruf3YBnko
"Fine" said Ringo. "God"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLyxbpSXw1R
The bell rang.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqGjGkumGZ
"Oh no" said Cherry.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxpOcROHLn
"Come on, Cherry" said Carlotta . "Let's go"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyJEnQtlws
"Good luck" said Strawberry.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GzA7AH0gA
"Thanks" said Cherry.
Her & Carlotta walked into their English class and sat down.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqT0fKWdCZm
Spanky was talking to Lizard. He spotted Cherry and walked over to her.
"What's wrong with your neck?" he asked.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0kF7fSMYE
"I broke it" Cherry said quietly.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcF056mCUQ
"My computer got smashed" said Spanky.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXIgY85dI8
"Look, Spanky, I'm sorry" said Cherry.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9zK16fgiPJ
"My mom blamed me" Spanky continued. "I'm not allowed to pet my dog, and I have to clean the piano keys with yogurt"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GG9pjEmmF
"Wow" said Cherry. "Your parents are WEIRD"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fChZj7BGK
"Yeah" said Spanky. "Look, I'm really glad you're ok"
He grabbed her hand.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2Jpi8O10Z
"Spanky!" Cherry slapped his hands away.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡps8QEPD4CK
"I heard you hit Muffins, too" Spanky said, ignoring what just happened.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABId08hOH6
"Yeah" said Cherry.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxdgFMznkY
"Did you see his car?" asked Spanky.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpYFaXSltD
"No" said Cherry. "But I saw the hole in the corner of your house"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodUv1uMoGs
"Well look in Muffins' backyard" Spanky said, ignoring her again.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeqF2w15Q9R
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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONd36Y3yA7
Muffins' mom looked out the window of her house.
"Cherry!" she called.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLWe2Tx7zC
Cherry stood there, frozen with fear.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWyzWGBD0m
His mom came outside, and put her hand on Cherry's shoulder.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7jcpfrcP2
"I'm so sorry" Cherry sobbed.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbcGNPxm0C
"My baby's in a coma" Muffins' mom sobbed even louder. "Come inside" she led Cherry into the house.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqfScutnSt
"Do I have to go to court?" Cherry asked quietly.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQHnICDAZd
"His father and I are still deciding" said Muffins' mom.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORaPbKA9jy
"I understand" said Cherry.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw4dhVGugh
"Have a seat" Muffins' mom said, as they got into the kitchen. "Would you like some hot cocoa?"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0VpzTtHoF
"Um" said Cherry. "I put your son in a coma. Why are you being so nice to me?"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshwyALtJuv
"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"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGBEAlZyyt
Cherry picked it up. "Aww" she said. "He was a cute baby"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0e1nbeCDD
"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"
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxMZpN3eUe
"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.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIpv2pbzs4
A small tear dropped onto the page. "You must really love him" Cherry whispered.
308Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaAcbFIgngm
"Yes I do" His mom said quietly.
