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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wJYm8ksim
"He promised me cocaine!" Cherry said, and Quaker sighed.

413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDBtgUtTty
A few hours later, Cherry found out that she had chlamydia.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcbyvSgh2g
"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"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3deC1YZ0rS
"Sully and Ringo had sex with her, too..." Strawberry pointed out.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUopXxEiUB
"Not unprotected" Cherry tried to hold back the tears.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchadHQ6w0M
"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"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOf24H6wUm
Cherry sighed, as they headed back up to Sully's room.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycPOKBmxnO
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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDSrz9PQzC
"I- I have chlamydia" Cherry whispered. "I got it from Muffins. You might wanna, you know, get tested. They gave me antibiotics"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfPwjRNCIe
"Oh, wow" Stitch said. "Tha- Thanks for letting me know. Does Muffins know?"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMozCpKc0n
"Not yet," Cherry said. "Where is he?"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl8M0QlrrI
"He ran to the store to get cigs" Stitch said. "I can tell him when he comes back up if you'd like"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ46hmx2UC6
"Thanks, Stitch" Cherry said.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagFAblAVO8
They half hugged, awkwardly, and walked back to the lounge.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYIcetwvpj
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"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci7jagEADd
"Oh my god, that's wonderful!" Cherry jumped up and hugged the nurse.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNO8ZrTwDW
"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"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGjSGf407I
"Um, sure" the nurse looked at him side eyed.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOU1s9113R
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBL98edeQX6
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"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI4GTOpSmW
"You're the best" Stitch smiled, passing her 5 dollars.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddv8r1qUoG
The nurse looked at him strangely and walked away.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMNm4Hc4vW
Stitch headed back to the lounge to see that Muffins had returned.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ482zsKPlys
"Muffins, can I talk to you?" Stitch asked. "In private?"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDf3IK7Vg3H
"Uh, sure" Muffins followed him into the hallway.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vE5upUxiZ
"Cherry and I have chlamydia" Stitch whispered.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdU8hp1QqS
"Okay..." Muffins was confused.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYQ7sTrbcn
"Cherry must have gotten it from you" Stitch said. "The two of us need to get tested. Now"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLaZVL1KVO
"From your first sentence, it sounds like you already knew that you have it" Muffins said.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqBLxP6Cl7
"I mean I'm pretty sure I do" Stitch replied, looking scared.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0yO57V4XG
"Shit" Muffins looked worried and started pacing around, holding his head between his hands. "Shit shit SHIT!"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3qvwAJJBJ
"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"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAyZIay1WP
"I don't know, I'm just so stressed" Muffins said. "I need to stop doing coke"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRusbL2yMz9
"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"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu41bFr4tzL
"Fine" Muffins sighed, as he followed Stitch the other way to get tested.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXImcwgW49K

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.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmnjxmhd9Z
Then she heard a weak voice speak her name.
"Cherry..."
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURRXcic1of
She turned around.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6INLApHH3
"Sully!" she exclaimed. "Do you know where you are?"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYHujrP7Bq
"No..." Sully gave her a blank stare from his bruised up black eyes.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelGwjqyJAS
A nurse walked in. "Sully, you had an accident" she said gently.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnTdL4izmO
"Those mexicans..." Sully said weakly. "Cynthia's cousins... they hit me... beat me..."
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP89Poh7SA7
"What?" Cherry asked. "Are you sure?"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlMfRXFwGc
Sully tried to nod his head, but it hurt too much. He just groaned. "Their names were Lenny and Eddie" he struggled to say.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zIhhPHDrx
"I'm calling the cops" Cherry said. "Excuse me"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrB4zJ5f4z4
She stepped into the hallway, and returned about five minutes later.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lssDBy8Xs
"Sully, do you know their last names?" she asked, covering the mouthpiece.
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsyQsNH1ND
"No" he said quietly. "It's not the same as Cynthia though"
413Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuyazJCJxoU
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"
