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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1TKP9hPii
"He promised me cocaine!" Cherry said, and Quaker sighed.

A few hours later, Cherry found out that she had chlamydia.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizZGCa4sxJ
"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"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9y69BBNXIM
"Sully and Ringo had sex with her, too..." Strawberry pointed out.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbGoEGdKRe
"Not unprotected" Cherry tried to hold back the tears.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtvh5YHkqF
"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"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUCoBFc1C3M
Cherry sighed, as they headed back up to Sully's room.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqRhVAhvmVd
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAa86zlnWE
"I- I have chlamydia" Cherry whispered. "I got it from Muffins. You might wanna, you know, get tested. They gave me antibiotics"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNl9UIvwryq
"Oh, wow" Stitch said. "Tha- Thanks for letting me know. Does Muffins know?"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL8XIl9NVl
"Not yet," Cherry said. "Where is he?"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0S9ox9GeQ7
"He ran to the store to get cigs" Stitch said. "I can tell him when he comes back up if you'd like"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMAUBISwUpg
"Thanks, Stitch" Cherry said.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbJvWl2VZr
They half hugged, awkwardly, and walked back to the lounge.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK4uxNl7zY
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"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CEWXz7b7l
"Oh my god, that's wonderful!" Cherry jumped up and hugged the nurse.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AJ58gwWxf
"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"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33MrUAQYAF
"Um, sure" the nurse looked at him side eyed.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF4reVPSeS
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28KyugtE8H
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"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUaiqjgksn
"You're the best" Stitch smiled, passing her 5 dollars.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgYhjMBr9P
The nurse looked at him strangely and walked away.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z2MgY0Xcz
Stitch headed back to the lounge to see that Muffins had returned.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH83ye2YCFv
"Muffins, can I talk to you?" Stitch asked. "In private?"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrC1WF2oHn
"Uh, sure" Muffins followed him into the hallway.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2gE6YHBiD
"Cherry and I have chlamydia" Stitch whispered.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9ngKSXJoj
"Okay..." Muffins was confused.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9KncM57Ol
"Cherry must have gotten it from you" Stitch said. "The two of us need to get tested. Now"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTiSqF8j2Z
"From your first sentence, it sounds like you already knew that you have it" Muffins said.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfnMWnEHxw
"I mean I'm pretty sure I do" Stitch replied, looking scared.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBRvPOR75i
"Shit" Muffins looked worried and started pacing around, holding his head between his hands. "Shit shit SHIT!"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyLyNCONS5
"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"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTWCkGijlj
"I don't know, I'm just so stressed" Muffins said. "I need to stop doing coke"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSb9dNAyR5
"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"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeTyIgXvNQ
"Fine" Muffins sighed, as he followed Stitch the other way to get tested.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdm9QcHnDR
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmFRlgG3XD
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.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYhGztb80s
Then she heard a weak voice speak her name.
"Cherry..."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhzC620a2y
She turned around.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwBjhzdWbI
"Sully!" she exclaimed. "Do you know where you are?"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzEdKIQCgy
"No..." Sully gave her a blank stare from his bruised up black eyes.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIsibKDYv0
A nurse walked in. "Sully, you had an accident" she said gently.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72KJbTpOLv
"Those mexicans..." Sully said weakly. "Cynthia's cousins... they hit me... beat me..."
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGd28nG5W4x
"What?" Cherry asked. "Are you sure?"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuontprzr7
Sully tried to nod his head, but it hurt too much. He just groaned. "Their names were Lenny and Eddie" he struggled to say.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDvqIoYets
"I'm calling the cops" Cherry said. "Excuse me"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUdqD8Eoki
She stepped into the hallway, and returned about five minutes later.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RnXFpR09n
"Sully, do you know their last names?" she asked, covering the mouthpiece.
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1zrQfFcGm
"No" he said quietly. "It's not the same as Cynthia though"
441Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8niZkIqqvW
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"
