When Cherry, Strawberry, and Quaker reached the testing area, Cherry was beyond nervous.
"I really hope I don't have anything" she said.

"Cherry, why did you blow him?" Quaker asked.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3QQo1rq3r
"He promised me cocaine!" Cherry said, and Quaker sighed.

369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vPclj9qp2
A few hours later, Cherry found out that she had chlamydia.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGamj4lx5CT
"You HAD to have gotten it from Muffins" Quaker said. "He had sex with Lemonade, and we all know how much of a skank she is"
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2uLc1izUH
"Sully and Ringo had sex with her, too..." Strawberry pointed out.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8gR2QFOch
"Not unprotected" Cherry tried to hold back the tears.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDo06va64s
"Well, you've gotta let Muffins know" Quaker said. "And Sully. And Ringo. And Stitch. And all of them need to get tested and possibly treated as well"
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQslhKurt40
Cherry sighed, as they headed back up to Sully's room.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY37OjoFmQC
When they got up to the lounge room, Cherry asked to speak with Stitch privately, so they went into Sully's room.
"What's wrong, Cher?" Stitch asked.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3uhclipvD
"I- I have chlamydia" Cherry whispered. "I got it from Muffins. You might wanna, you know, get tested. They gave me antibiotics"
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqwNmrFPAs
"Oh, wow" Stitch said. "Tha- Thanks for letting me know. Does Muffins know?"
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK6xpiw7xi
"Not yet," Cherry said. "Where is he?"
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv65KBhtOdK
"He ran to the store to get cigs" Stitch said. "I can tell him when he comes back up if you'd like"
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesmgPRHh8d
"Thanks, Stitch" Cherry said.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflW04KERJV
They half hugged, awkwardly, and walked back to the lounge.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRrgu83yLp
Awhile later, one of Sully's nurses came out into the lounge room.
"He just came out of surgery" she said. "He's going to be just fine"
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jCoYPzpUW
"Oh my god, that's wonderful!" Cherry jumped up and hugged the nurse.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjm5E8PiK2t
"I'll let you know when you can go see him" the nurse smiled, and walked back down the hall.
Stitch ran after the nurse.
"Can you rapid test him for STDs?" Stitch whispered to the nurse. "I know that's a thing. I've seen it in the movies"
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJyTWlxHvC
"Um, sure" the nurse looked at him side eyed.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpmcwCmDaQ
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbunOAe1Ez
About 30 minutes later, the nurse came back out and motioned for Stitch to follow her.
"It's negative" she said. "He's getting antibiotics already anyways though if you're really worried. They're in his IV and they're pretty strong"
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXvhVeFGxL
"You're the best" Stitch smiled, passing her 5 dollars.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGdg4OZ7Ea
The nurse looked at him strangely and walked away.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SLuXx5pgn
Stitch headed back to the lounge to see that Muffins had returned.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtfjiT4VOta
"Muffins, can I talk to you?" Stitch asked. "In private?"
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXV2Go1cbZ6
"Uh, sure" Muffins followed him into the hallway.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXc168Xqfmz
"Cherry and I have chlamydia" Stitch whispered.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmEqK6nOe8
"Okay..." Muffins was confused.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QXdY0FJwd
"Cherry must have gotten it from you" Stitch said. "The two of us need to get tested. Now"
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsVzB7ACOW
"From your first sentence, it sounds like you already knew that you have it" Muffins said.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaef1V07oST
"I mean I'm pretty sure I do" Stitch replied, looking scared.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TupemvSh8
"Shit" Muffins looked worried and started pacing around, holding his head between his hands. "Shit shit SHIT!"
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGSn4cV4xP
"What, what's wrong?" Stitch asked. "It's treatable, bro, we'll be fine. A week of antibiotics will clear it right up. And luckily Sully doesn't have it. I asked the nurse in private to test him, since he slept with Lemonade, which is obviously where it originated, but at least he was smart enough to use a condom with her"
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHGCy5YgivN
"I don't know, I'm just so stressed" Muffins said. "I need to stop doing coke"
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QvbawiKuT
"Sully is being transferred back to L-Town tomorrow" Stitch said. "Let's go now and the results will be back in a few hours"
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uv8RnObGs
"Fine" Muffins sighed, as he followed Stitch the other way to get tested.

Meanwhile, Cherry was allowed to go into Sully's room and wait for him to wake up. She was super anxious, pacing around back and forth. She looked over at the empty bed, with the sheets still messy, and felt guilty.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qaQeKZAy0
Then she heard a weak voice speak her name.
"Cherry..."
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZGO61TjXr
She turned around.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YAXICHT4k
"Sully!" she exclaimed. "Do you know where you are?"
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ207JdjvXeH
"No..." Sully gave her a blank stare from his bruised up black eyes.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6q6rxdtVQY
A nurse walked in. "Sully, you had an accident" she said gently.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonFTnegz2i
"Those mexicans..." Sully said weakly. "Cynthia's cousins... they hit me... beat me..."
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN3cFlcCAL
"What?" Cherry asked. "Are you sure?"
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0bQH49Qg2
Sully tried to nod his head, but it hurt too much. He just groaned. "Their names were Lenny and Eddie" he struggled to say.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkhf9GhKDv
"I'm calling the cops" Cherry said. "Excuse me"
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HPkN8h5sI
She stepped into the hallway, and returned about five minutes later.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgJO6mFDBP
"Sully, do you know their last names?" she asked, covering the mouthpiece.
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgs5xapPyks
"No" he said quietly. "It's not the same as Cynthia though"
369Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLp9x33ahV
Cherry stepped back in the hallway for a few minutes, and when she came back, she said "They're going to be on the lookout"
