"NO!" Cherry cried. "I KILLED MUFFINS?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERebMMjNXq
"No" said the doctor. "Remember your old room mate, Lily?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TZBHFwHIz
"Oh" said Cherry. "THAT pathetic bag of flea dirt?'
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPOmaZ9U7S
"Well then" said the doctor. "I guess you don't care that YOUR name was in her suicide note before methamphetamine killed her"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6p4CDN9CR
"W-what?" Cherry gasped.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsFnx70YKq
"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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUCy27IhM7
Pixie took her to see him. It was her first time visiting Muffins, too. She saw Stitch and immediately left Cherry in there.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybY9Yxma4e
"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"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WBQFUf3VH
"Stitch, you're nasty" Pixie said, and she walked towards the elevators.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn89TjKq8DU
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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX2wzqGIj9
"Cher" Stitch said, putting his hand on her shoulder.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0AQd5KFF5
"I did this to him" Cherry sniffled, between sobs. "And I was feeling bad for ME. Just look at him!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjBYXoomDc
"He'll be alright" Stitch said, unsure of himself.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88q78BCq3E
Cherry struggled, but achieved to bury her head in Stitch's chest.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2egpYCiMvb
Stitch put his arms around her.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzatgqbGwbk
"Ew, Stitch, you smell" she said.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvWf8BjLRc
"Today was the first time I left this room" said Stitch. "And that wasn't even for 1 minute"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebG7KP9l3x
"Go to school" said Cherry.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzigKv6CTx
"I can't like this!" said Stitch. "My best friend is in a coma!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkODu8EZoKY
"And it's my fault" said Cherry. "I'm sorry"
She walked over to the bed.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwOGY0rBjo
"Wanna dial a prayer?" Stitch asked.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8XFWuMgIt
"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"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiuog72khc
His eyes didn't move.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb176w2tqyF
"Here" said Stitch, handing her both pieces of her sweatshirt.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3g1ggx9Mtj
"Keep half here" said Cherry, and she walked out the door.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0dxOwrJmh

278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTg9luhrb70
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"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Iv8fs7cQd
"You look fine" said Strawberry. "And why?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxHMmIlC8L
"1st period English" said Cherry. "Means facing Spanky "
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8RG6U3FWM
"Ew" said Strawberry.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgQbvEa0mU
"Strawberry, you don't understand" said Cherry. "I crashed into his house"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbgxCDdzMe
"It's alright" said Strawberry. "He deserved it"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AabqSOhTI
"Hey Cherry" Stacey walked past them.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMypzbDt2c
Cherry blushed. "Hey Stacey"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBS8kbs4xM
"Hey Stacey" Strawberry mimicked.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KLt0fSRSc
Cherry slapped her. "Don't" she said. "So how's Muffins?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUJTcw5q1nH
"Still hasn't woken up" Strawberry said seriously.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9smukxkF6M
Kiwi walked up.
"That's wonderful!" she said.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8psFGXZo20
"No it's not" said Cherry. "He might die because of me"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8aTpJSTDs
"Cherry, stop worrying about it" said Strawberry. "And Kiwi, shut the fuck up"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlizKamcB2
Cherry broke down into tears.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5kzAYMPV3
"It's ok" Strawberry comforted her.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoc0GaGVUi
"No, it's not" said Cherry.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtd06q60SSK
"Look, Cher, I'm sorry" said Kiwi. "I'm not the biggest Muffins fan, as you know "
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4giK9dE6x5
"It's alright" said Cherry. "You didn't kill a man"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljNoQlKKa0
Ringo walked up, eating a bagel. "Old Muffy died?" he took another bite.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppUJlN7PN3
"RINGO I DON'T NEED THIS!" Cherry exploded. "YOU'RE SUCH A JERK!"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9aYSwMVjh
"Whoa, there, cowgirl" Ringo threw the wrapper on the ground. "Just asking, God. Don't throw a hissy fit"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxg7dWEU5e
"I'd just prefer if you'd leave me alone. Kay." said Cherry.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPg16WecjNp
"How are you doing?" Ringo asked seriously.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTkzR8GDdA
"I'm fine" said Cherry. "Now just leave me alone, please"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV7oteFGt5q
"Fine" said Ringo. "God"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zFdDLBpMo
The bell rang.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC614MOlaRe
"Oh no" said Cherry.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG8TLUCr3MD
"Come on, Cherry" said Carlotta . "Let's go"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDfBq14Z7N
"Good luck" said Strawberry.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxK3ZGXc3I
"Thanks" said Cherry.
Her & Carlotta walked into their English class and sat down.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2ZWmL6xKX
Spanky was talking to Lizard. He spotted Cherry and walked over to her.
"What's wrong with your neck?" he asked.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46F45BkC6V
"I broke it" Cherry said quietly.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBiKDZS6qo
"My computer got smashed" said Spanky.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSp4Ms292N
"Look, Spanky, I'm sorry" said Cherry.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6PyJ59Oq6
"My mom blamed me" Spanky continued. "I'm not allowed to pet my dog, and I have to clean the piano keys with yogurt"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pxr7AgNmT
"Wow" said Cherry. "Your parents are WEIRD"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMI8H12kzc
"Yeah" said Spanky. "Look, I'm really glad you're ok"
He grabbed her hand.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKe0A1albr7
"Spanky!" Cherry slapped his hands away.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5Rbtn9ZaE
"I heard you hit Muffins, too" Spanky said, ignoring what just happened.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUnqS0FHJR
"Yeah" said Cherry.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgLEwj6BTF
"Did you see his car?" asked Spanky.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8wEmp9XqU
"No" said Cherry. "But I saw the hole in the corner of your house"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPTOhm7uZ5
"Well look in Muffins' backyard" Spanky said, ignoring her again.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9s41qvdK2Y
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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ghNEKjR4M
Muffins' mom looked out the window of her house.
"Cherry!" she called.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfyb6GFM8k
Cherry stood there, frozen with fear.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7wupftudL
His mom came outside, and put her hand on Cherry's shoulder.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8EXWdmTkY
"I'm so sorry" Cherry sobbed.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk5wMBUfBgC
"My baby's in a coma" Muffins' mom sobbed even louder. "Come inside" she led Cherry into the house.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttZQZuULYT
"Do I have to go to court?" Cherry asked quietly.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcGJIHAjrEG
"His father and I are still deciding" said Muffins' mom.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIQLWRgySN
"I understand" said Cherry.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kIOPRJLUz
"Have a seat" Muffins' mom said, as they got into the kitchen. "Would you like some hot cocoa?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAmo6mAkBG
"Um" said Cherry. "I put your son in a coma. Why are you being so nice to me?"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhMnxVQEL7
"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"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZM3bBPPeZ
Cherry picked it up. "Aww" she said. "He was a cute baby"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7r1ddT3lo
"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"
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WzDv9bJWX
"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.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiOhqN02r1
A small tear dropped onto the page. "You must really love him" Cherry whispered.
278Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEHooE2JnC
"Yes I do" His mom said quietly.
