It was about noon when Cherry received the phone call. She picked up the phone expecting it to be Two-Bit again asking what spam was really made of. But the voice on the other line was not Two-Bit. The steady voice on the other line belonged to a man from the hospital. His soft voice greeted her.
"Hello, Sherri Valance?"
Cherry hesitated. She positioned the phone against her ear and decided to reply.
"Yes, this is Sherri. May I ask who this is?"
"This is Doctor Johnson, Ms. Cathrow was my patient."
"Why do you say was?"
Cherry knew what was coming. Already she knew what the next sentence out of the doctor's voice would be.
"Ms. Cathrow passed away last night while in the hospital. Before she died she asked us to read you this note. I guess she wrote it an hour before she passed."
Cherry closed her eyes. "Read it" she whispered.
"Sherri Valance," the doctor began,
When you answer the phone this morning it will not be good news for you. Sherri, we have only known each other for a short time, yet I feel you were one of my own. Sherri, do not be sad about this. I was waiting for this for years. I believe dyeing is the same as being born, only you are being brought into a new kind of life. I will be with my husband. Sherri, when people die they are not gone forever. They are simply a short time away. I know you will see that person you lost again. Over time, it's worth the wait."
The doctor stopped. Cherry could tell he was a little upset.
"I am leaving you in charge of the shop. You don't have to make a living out of it, of course. Sell it, own it-do whatever! Love, Mrs. Cathrow"
Cherry listened as the doctor finished reading.
"I will be waiting to see you again"
The doctor cleared his throat. "That is all" he said.
"Thank you, doctor." Cherry said.
Cherry hung up the phone. She laid back in the chair, fighting the tears. Cherry felt something. Someone's hands where on her shoulders. She was afraid at first but soon the feeling was comforting. She smiled, and wiped a tear from her eye. Cherry did not turn around, however. She found no point in it. She already knew who it was. When the feeling stopped she was completely relaxed. She turned around a while after and whispered "Thank you" Cherry stayed up most of the night. Finally she glanced at the clock and felt it was time to go to bed. As Cherry walked into her room she looked up and was startled, but only for a second.
"Hey" she whispered to the figure sitting on her bed.
Dally, a smirk on his face, lit a joint and took a drag.
The smell of smoke filled the air. Cherry laughed. As the vision disappeared, Cherry crawled into bed. Even though she couldn't see him, she knew he was there.
