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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2MibCuAvm
"He promised me cocaine!" Cherry said, and Quaker sighed.

A few hours later, Cherry found out that she had chlamydia.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL8BftQ1ke
"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"
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFZZn7iIdP
"Sully and Ringo had sex with her, too..." Strawberry pointed out.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcnSktLBwD
"Not unprotected" Cherry tried to hold back the tears.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCieD0jvvpa
"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"
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiy1NMyRHUs
Cherry sighed, as they headed back up to Sully's room.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKx1lyE6ddp
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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiCzzQMIeI
"I- I have chlamydia" Cherry whispered. "I got it from Muffins. You might wanna, you know, get tested. They gave me antibiotics"
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmj42u59A5R
"Oh, wow" Stitch said. "Tha- Thanks for letting me know. Does Muffins know?"
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5hMkQrl6b6
"Not yet," Cherry said. "Where is he?"
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvP1Wh5RA69
"He ran to the store to get cigs" Stitch said. "I can tell him when he comes back up if you'd like"
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYAWQnSTR3
"Thanks, Stitch" Cherry said.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgcti6cDgG
They half hugged, awkwardly, and walked back to the lounge.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMKWSqJtBI
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"
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2s78kvuQKT
"Oh my god, that's wonderful!" Cherry jumped up and hugged the nurse.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuC2nNmPO4u
"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"
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQsDunzJIa
"Um, sure" the nurse looked at him side eyed.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5IG6LLVkOv
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV6thef55y
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"
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoL8rpB97b
"You're the best" Stitch smiled, passing her 5 dollars.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFO4PtxXqf
The nurse looked at him strangely and walked away.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMh5lQDfpi
Stitch headed back to the lounge to see that Muffins had returned.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjZR0y8wUM
"Muffins, can I talk to you?" Stitch asked. "In private?"
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdwst8LhUq
"Uh, sure" Muffins followed him into the hallway.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fRj6COjWt
"Cherry and I have chlamydia" Stitch whispered.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfq0YzD8S2
"Okay..." Muffins was confused.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3frkvm3yT
"Cherry must have gotten it from you" Stitch said. "The two of us need to get tested. Now"
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ475m5FC5Ip
"From your first sentence, it sounds like you already knew that you have it" Muffins said.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIPnkzn1D8
"I mean I'm pretty sure I do" Stitch replied, looking scared.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUktECdGx9H
"Shit" Muffins looked worried and started pacing around, holding his head between his hands. "Shit shit SHIT!"
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOOF5UTSEy
"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"
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpXipg6Bur
"I don't know, I'm just so stressed" Muffins said. "I need to stop doing coke"
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTvFDwOh7V
"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"
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJ0GcqpPTn
"Fine" Muffins sighed, as he followed Stitch the other way to get tested.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMRMhXPXE8

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.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWvfel1omL
Then she heard a weak voice speak her name.
"Cherry..."
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurZdjiRtbW
She turned around.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfGfEJ80Lw
"Sully!" she exclaimed. "Do you know where you are?"
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUQV67OUFk
"No..." Sully gave her a blank stare from his bruised up black eyes.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuONP5LNLCH
A nurse walked in. "Sully, you had an accident" she said gently.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmEn6hQ18i
"Those mexicans..." Sully said weakly. "Cynthia's cousins... they hit me... beat me..."
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzYIrjmRDq
"What?" Cherry asked. "Are you sure?"
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatsXP3X6ZC
Sully tried to nod his head, but it hurt too much. He just groaned. "Their names were Lenny and Eddie" he struggled to say.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCebKptwqp
"I'm calling the cops" Cherry said. "Excuse me"
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZA4n0F5bbN
She stepped into the hallway, and returned about five minutes later.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtR7Thdy1Q
"Sully, do you know their last names?" she asked, covering the mouthpiece.
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcUgeEhuVE8
"No" he said quietly. "It's not the same as Cynthia though"
452Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef1d7ptRs1
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"
