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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPJRxzXlah
"He promised me cocaine!" Cherry said, and Quaker sighed.

429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfROsa1k9L8
A few hours later, Cherry found out that she had chlamydia.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopr03asQpD
"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"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIehgmqibSY
"Sully and Ringo had sex with her, too..." Strawberry pointed out.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q23zFRZx2
"Not unprotected" Cherry tried to hold back the tears.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1Tn4GMYlu
"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"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9KqWqfQ8P
Cherry sighed, as they headed back up to Sully's room.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MZfWYt0lU
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bqywuhJu0
"I- I have chlamydia" Cherry whispered. "I got it from Muffins. You might wanna, you know, get tested. They gave me antibiotics"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjdV8zqfXQ
"Oh, wow" Stitch said. "Tha- Thanks for letting me know. Does Muffins know?"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUWrSIvEBX
"Not yet," Cherry said. "Where is he?"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0il2C5pKeX
"He ran to the store to get cigs" Stitch said. "I can tell him when he comes back up if you'd like"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E9AQXxFru
"Thanks, Stitch" Cherry said.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBKfQqifFn
They half hugged, awkwardly, and walked back to the lounge.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rhhIHfisj
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"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dGuIZjhpV
"Oh my god, that's wonderful!" Cherry jumped up and hugged the nurse.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqZ8ofJ6Egk
"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"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6k1j5t238
"Um, sure" the nurse looked at him side eyed.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UXzCCvwPV
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EAxlIP0k4
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"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmmxtvz2Xa
"You're the best" Stitch smiled, passing her 5 dollars.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEv8iMCKGnI
The nurse looked at him strangely and walked away.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X7fXYCz3m
Stitch headed back to the lounge to see that Muffins had returned.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xWDaZC4Lc
"Muffins, can I talk to you?" Stitch asked. "In private?"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfCgjEk9aO
"Uh, sure" Muffins followed him into the hallway.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLr0IzAdmd
"Cherry and I have chlamydia" Stitch whispered.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAay2mKD7VK
"Okay..." Muffins was confused.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeC0bUkYhdO
"Cherry must have gotten it from you" Stitch said. "The two of us need to get tested. Now"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaFVNb3X9x
"From your first sentence, it sounds like you already knew that you have it" Muffins said.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekiPuTGtGK
"I mean I'm pretty sure I do" Stitch replied, looking scared.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPLzG7g64X
"Shit" Muffins looked worried and started pacing around, holding his head between his hands. "Shit shit SHIT!"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGaHzwhj6a
"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"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e76YhfuXP
"I don't know, I'm just so stressed" Muffins said. "I need to stop doing coke"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsCxZHWt1O
"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"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1cXUd5PKC
"Fine" Muffins sighed, as he followed Stitch the other way to get tested.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJv4yDcfPI
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡticVT2HYNx
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.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesna7882Bk
Then she heard a weak voice speak her name.
"Cherry..."
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhd8tz4mhg
She turned around.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmWJSC9Obd
"Sully!" she exclaimed. "Do you know where you are?"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHA6bSVPc0
"No..." Sully gave her a blank stare from his bruised up black eyes.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTFaZdwLp7
A nurse walked in. "Sully, you had an accident" she said gently.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsF4KIijff
"Those mexicans..." Sully said weakly. "Cynthia's cousins... they hit me... beat me..."
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSHYa9J7fO
"What?" Cherry asked. "Are you sure?"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDQDL5X41K
Sully tried to nod his head, but it hurt too much. He just groaned. "Their names were Lenny and Eddie" he struggled to say.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77X8QFqa3q
"I'm calling the cops" Cherry said. "Excuse me"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkuTcwoVzVW
She stepped into the hallway, and returned about five minutes later.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XqQN1pnDR
"Sully, do you know their last names?" she asked, covering the mouthpiece.
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO4RTMNuOa
"No" he said quietly. "It's not the same as Cynthia though"
429Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ5WF1VtwH
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"
