"NO!" Cherry cried. "I KILLED MUFFINS?"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8t5o472Qy1
"No" said the doctor. "Remember your old room mate, Lily?"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJT1AwzGWG6
"Oh" said Cherry. "THAT pathetic bag of flea dirt?'
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtvHh1juSc
"Well then" said the doctor. "I guess you don't care that YOUR name was in her suicide note before methamphetamine killed her"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj114VPUHde
"W-what?" Cherry gasped.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1KS5NZLMn
"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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnECG4Qinaq
Pixie took her to see him. It was her first time visiting Muffins, too. She saw Stitch and immediately left Cherry in there.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBI8GxdTXM
"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"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tBvddcxpO
"Stitch, you're nasty" Pixie said, and she walked towards the elevators.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJl62dXmKj
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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIwtC4nOIY
"Cher" Stitch said, putting his hand on her shoulder.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDDaiS7IwGY
"I did this to him" Cherry sniffled, between sobs. "And I was feeling bad for ME. Just look at him!"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb78df3XGZw
"He'll be alright" Stitch said, unsure of himself.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYxQIzrgNe
Cherry struggled, but achieved to bury her head in Stitch's chest.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtLXepzdVlg
Stitch put his arms around her.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqjwg2ChYz
"Ew, Stitch, you smell" she said.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYqP1uoZ9M
"Today was the first time I left this room" said Stitch. "And that wasn't even for 1 minute"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtj6Y6YLfd1
"Go to school" said Cherry.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemmxWSlUSI
"I can't like this!" said Stitch. "My best friend is in a coma!"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhp2mZ4Jt0
"And it's my fault" said Cherry. "I'm sorry"
She walked over to the bed.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2JjhlJyTZ
"Wanna dial a prayer?" Stitch asked.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4uxGxV8Md
"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"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0emEgj3ui
His eyes didn't move.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbvtbnalaN
"Here" said Stitch, handing her both pieces of her sweatshirt.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerN8j049FB
"Keep half here" said Cherry, and she walked out the door.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrR4JIuVcJ

269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkO9fyLa4R
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"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnb1AIhiVs
"You look fine" said Strawberry. "And why?"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdmltRUaSx
"1st period English" said Cherry. "Means facing Spanky "
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQCEYoyOwK
"Ew" said Strawberry.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RtBD1sI2C
"Strawberry, you don't understand" said Cherry. "I crashed into his house"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6dRXmox74
"It's alright" said Strawberry. "He deserved it"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKddIqi7Vk
"Hey Cherry" Stacey walked past them.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPsOtr3i3e
Cherry blushed. "Hey Stacey"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2eWppgFla
"Hey Stacey" Strawberry mimicked.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLcWKfFWFRg
Cherry slapped her. "Don't" she said. "So how's Muffins?"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKBpbTQkU4
"Still hasn't woken up" Strawberry said seriously.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHdInEhiJu
Kiwi walked up.
"That's wonderful!" she said.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡde4BK5z2Pz
"No it's not" said Cherry. "He might die because of me"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmYGYife0R
"Cherry, stop worrying about it" said Strawberry. "And Kiwi, shut the fuck up"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj7zCCH2Co
Cherry broke down into tears.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTVOSgrBRT
"It's ok" Strawberry comforted her.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyw4hGdPl8
"No, it's not" said Cherry.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAgfs1o3SX
"Look, Cher, I'm sorry" said Kiwi. "I'm not the biggest Muffins fan, as you know "
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyMEhwjNpZI
"It's alright" said Cherry. "You didn't kill a man"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ImFtpT54x
Ringo walked up, eating a bagel. "Old Muffy died?" he took another bite.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwslAhrlanO
"RINGO I DON'T NEED THIS!" Cherry exploded. "YOU'RE SUCH A JERK!"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYvHccbBUi
"Whoa, there, cowgirl" Ringo threw the wrapper on the ground. "Just asking, God. Don't throw a hissy fit"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1aNKIOE6Z
"I'd just prefer if you'd leave me alone. Kay." said Cherry.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDtAIyXVUEE
"How are you doing?" Ringo asked seriously.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsI6TfrJXq
"I'm fine" said Cherry. "Now just leave me alone, please"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXixKTbICZ
"Fine" said Ringo. "God"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf45TE1xwG5
The bell rang.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmuJZTZTO3
"Oh no" said Cherry.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0fz217gXL
"Come on, Cherry" said Carlotta . "Let's go"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHCbTmHDYB
"Good luck" said Strawberry.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9udW5VAL0d
"Thanks" said Cherry.
Her & Carlotta walked into their English class and sat down.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvay6OKyXX
Spanky was talking to Lizard. He spotted Cherry and walked over to her.
"What's wrong with your neck?" he asked.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDgORyjdcs
"I broke it" Cherry said quietly.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MkYu0dby6
"My computer got smashed" said Spanky.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmY5RQVBAqP
"Look, Spanky, I'm sorry" said Cherry.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF6gdnCx81
"My mom blamed me" Spanky continued. "I'm not allowed to pet my dog, and I have to clean the piano keys with yogurt"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyZwvg3sKA
"Wow" said Cherry. "Your parents are WEIRD"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWtXUrWCBv
"Yeah" said Spanky. "Look, I'm really glad you're ok"
He grabbed her hand.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUp8k3UZe1
"Spanky!" Cherry slapped his hands away.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jiVFo5izD
"I heard you hit Muffins, too" Spanky said, ignoring what just happened.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3A7GadRaQD
"Yeah" said Cherry.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxohEDykje
"Did you see his car?" asked Spanky.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1y9F6CfB1B
"No" said Cherry. "But I saw the hole in the corner of your house"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuYXmNxLkL
"Well look in Muffins' backyard" Spanky said, ignoring her again.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtC73EUgvq
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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tHbyhDjLO
Muffins' mom looked out the window of her house.
"Cherry!" she called.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pOJMwoHQT
Cherry stood there, frozen with fear.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHxsxuBjER
His mom came outside, and put her hand on Cherry's shoulder.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwxPu697czG
"I'm so sorry" Cherry sobbed.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKpPQxkkYW
"My baby's in a coma" Muffins' mom sobbed even louder. "Come inside" she led Cherry into the house.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6yD6FRsE8
"Do I have to go to court?" Cherry asked quietly.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrP8NGZodIs
"His father and I are still deciding" said Muffins' mom.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ575ujQ9iSR
"I understand" said Cherry.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMffsEmsQg
"Have a seat" Muffins' mom said, as they got into the kitchen. "Would you like some hot cocoa?"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrV3tZFK9X
"Um" said Cherry. "I put your son in a coma. Why are you being so nice to me?"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4ff5KuYiz
"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"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvRr3Rappn
Cherry picked it up. "Aww" she said. "He was a cute baby"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsTanlCv8O
"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"
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF146S5D56r
"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.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvHhxmsvVo
A small tear dropped onto the page. "You must really love him" Cherry whispered.
269Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvfOe9hgGz
"Yes I do" His mom said quietly.
