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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcdb8pUiQv
"He promised me cocaine!" Cherry said, and Quaker sighed.

A few hours later, Cherry found out that she had chlamydia.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjctygUDpi
"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"
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWJT7TQBFL
"Sully and Ringo had sex with her, too..." Strawberry pointed out.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1m5eLQw1o
"Not unprotected" Cherry tried to hold back the tears.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WI4W9tFmS
"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"
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37nBPzbptf
Cherry sighed, as they headed back up to Sully's room.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdfcHKwqnA
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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKpOIDlxn5
"I- I have chlamydia" Cherry whispered. "I got it from Muffins. You might wanna, you know, get tested. They gave me antibiotics"
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BccReQJcm
"Oh, wow" Stitch said. "Tha- Thanks for letting me know. Does Muffins know?"
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqhXzoeQIY
"Not yet," Cherry said. "Where is he?"
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdN90t8gr6
"He ran to the store to get cigs" Stitch said. "I can tell him when he comes back up if you'd like"
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtA1yW4IzNC
"Thanks, Stitch" Cherry said.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfamBt5Y6UF
They half hugged, awkwardly, and walked back to the lounge.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJqDKtT7kF
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"
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOiTLbV4JR
"Oh my god, that's wonderful!" Cherry jumped up and hugged the nurse.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKG5YiTEK2
"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"
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fG0wKvm2L
"Um, sure" the nurse looked at him side eyed.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoTWWATAag
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZsaNMet4P
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"
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOCz54vIpW
"You're the best" Stitch smiled, passing her 5 dollars.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkR9s0p8GM
The nurse looked at him strangely and walked away.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNX2KZdjQu
Stitch headed back to the lounge to see that Muffins had returned.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1F0UkE07S
"Muffins, can I talk to you?" Stitch asked. "In private?"
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbSBr1VTna
"Uh, sure" Muffins followed him into the hallway.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOdblxqPYA
"Cherry and I have chlamydia" Stitch whispered.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpApNpW1J6d
"Okay..." Muffins was confused.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1zQUWOJQz
"Cherry must have gotten it from you" Stitch said. "The two of us need to get tested. Now"
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoSzFE6q3h
"From your first sentence, it sounds like you already knew that you have it" Muffins said.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkiCgF6jXm1
"I mean I'm pretty sure I do" Stitch replied, looking scared.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnS4hBwmSs
"Shit" Muffins looked worried and started pacing around, holding his head between his hands. "Shit shit SHIT!"
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLYIhxk7HK
"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"
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc29oZ2XMt2
"I don't know, I'm just so stressed" Muffins said. "I need to stop doing coke"
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsoZeG6hjc
"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"
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LeAVx5j2E
"Fine" Muffins sighed, as he followed Stitch the other way to get tested.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrhnEyG2SC

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.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIV8plun6on
Then she heard a weak voice speak her name.
"Cherry..."
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCUOKEea0a
She turned around.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35OJD61i9N
"Sully!" she exclaimed. "Do you know where you are?"
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQI185zgIO
"No..." Sully gave her a blank stare from his bruised up black eyes.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4cszaWcWf
A nurse walked in. "Sully, you had an accident" she said gently.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbj7kMQyU2g
"Those mexicans..." Sully said weakly. "Cynthia's cousins... they hit me... beat me..."
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPfnVfGSEP
"What?" Cherry asked. "Are you sure?"
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7aoHJUiE0
Sully tried to nod his head, but it hurt too much. He just groaned. "Their names were Lenny and Eddie" he struggled to say.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguuPsvRaUL
"I'm calling the cops" Cherry said. "Excuse me"
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFNPjkiLI3
She stepped into the hallway, and returned about five minutes later.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9538zaZjas
"Sully, do you know their last names?" she asked, covering the mouthpiece.
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFy6OQhqHB8
"No" he said quietly. "It's not the same as Cynthia though"
384Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvYblclkVe
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"
