A few hours later, Strawberry
woke up in the hospital, with Pancake, Cherry, & Quaker there.
“Where am I?” Strawberry asked.
“You almost died”
said Pancake.
Gepetto, Stacey, & Lanky
walked in.
“Hey, she’s awake !” Gepetto said.
“Are you ok?”
Stacey asked.
“I guess” Strawberry
replied.
“Why did you do that?”
Cherry asked.
“Do what?” asked
Strawberry.
“Try to kill yourself
!” said Cherry.
“Um, maybe because
I hate my life, and it sucks?” said Strawberry. “And tomorrow is fucking Valentine’s Day, and I don’t
have a Valentine”
“I’ll be your
valentine” said Quaker.
“Hey !” said
Lanky. “I thought I was your valentine !”
“You are, but so is
Strawberry”
“Strawberry, I’ll
be your valentine” Stacey said.
“Thanks” said Strawberry.
“We’re all your
valentines” said Pancake.
“Thanks, guys”
said Strawberry. “But it’s just not the same as being with You Know Who”
“Strawberry, he’s
stupid” said Cherry. “The other day in spanish, he said napkins were delicious”
“Oh my God, what a
dumbass” said Gepetto. “Wow”
“Yeah, but he’s
so cute !” Strawberry said, noticing the bandages on her heart.
“Dang, I really almost died. “
“I would have missed
you so much, Strawberry” said Pancake. “You’re my best friend”
“I know, I know”
said Strawberry. “But still, I wanted to die”
“Well, no one else
wants you to die, Strawberry” said Gepetto.
“Exactly” said
Stacey. “Strawberry, you’re one of my best friends, too”
