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.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRAIMGqJIT
"He promised me cocaine!" Cherry said, and Quaker sighed.

426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqVxBmXWoB
A few hours later, Cherry found out that she had chlamydia.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpJGJQonIN
"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"
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfEH0gabBP4
"Sully and Ringo had sex with her, too..." Strawberry pointed out.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1htWMqeBX
"Not unprotected" Cherry tried to hold back the tears.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVCxbQnagL
"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"
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv008ms8Ve
Cherry sighed, as they headed back up to Sully's room.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq89eIZ1kh
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.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPnsnv8yMv
"I- I have chlamydia" Cherry whispered. "I got it from Muffins. You might wanna, you know, get tested. They gave me antibiotics"
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRzdYhXOyJ
"Oh, wow" Stitch said. "Tha- Thanks for letting me know. Does Muffins know?"
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYigRQyuawk
"Not yet," Cherry said. "Where is he?"
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVh63qB2on
"He ran to the store to get cigs" Stitch said. "I can tell him when he comes back up if you'd like"
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaco1RO237
"Thanks, Stitch" Cherry said.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAaNcX9Wuv
They half hugged, awkwardly, and walked back to the lounge.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdd7sU4cVPC
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"
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43ZchPJ6TX
"Oh my god, that's wonderful!" Cherry jumped up and hugged the nurse.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti1Y1B6r9j
"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"
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfWVPQdjGL
"Um, sure" the nurse looked at him side eyed.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94zyaz4lV3
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKumLP2vfc5
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"
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL8TlzG6Qm
"You're the best" Stitch smiled, passing her 5 dollars.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvd3lUnhoO
The nurse looked at him strangely and walked away.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBtSM1zLbZ
Stitch headed back to the lounge to see that Muffins had returned.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnaWuXKLc8
"Muffins, can I talk to you?" Stitch asked. "In private?"
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMCcdLGaU8
"Uh, sure" Muffins followed him into the hallway.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFHK2eQuyO
"Cherry and I have chlamydia" Stitch whispered.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡluJFsmIPEz
"Okay..." Muffins was confused.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyPVjidswK
"Cherry must have gotten it from you" Stitch said. "The two of us need to get tested. Now"
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2Wavk0VfA
"From your first sentence, it sounds like you already knew that you have it" Muffins said.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2ir6NDEBJ
"I mean I'm pretty sure I do" Stitch replied, looking scared.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycKY3VMVMK
"Shit" Muffins looked worried and started pacing around, holding his head between his hands. "Shit shit SHIT!"
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl75XWVjdSA
"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"
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KW5JuO7vi
"I don't know, I'm just so stressed" Muffins said. "I need to stop doing coke"
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkIHjGohDN
"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"
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPahyOLp6i
"Fine" Muffins sighed, as he followed Stitch the other way to get tested.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtl5MbSLbT

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.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY75NykoXEq
Then she heard a weak voice speak her name.
"Cherry..."
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0WwXiZizV
She turned around.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4tpXDwvXI
"Sully!" she exclaimed. "Do you know where you are?"
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEpLaLJotX
"No..." Sully gave her a blank stare from his bruised up black eyes.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lpQWQQXyy
A nurse walked in. "Sully, you had an accident" she said gently.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPHcJOPPVS
"Those mexicans..." Sully said weakly. "Cynthia's cousins... they hit me... beat me..."
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EjOMPfLvT
"What?" Cherry asked. "Are you sure?"
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9w1EPaZslm
Sully tried to nod his head, but it hurt too much. He just groaned. "Their names were Lenny and Eddie" he struggled to say.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcy9eM8IEMZ
"I'm calling the cops" Cherry said. "Excuse me"
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeCjr70sLd
She stepped into the hallway, and returned about five minutes later.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZDdTlOIbzg
"Sully, do you know their last names?" she asked, covering the mouthpiece.
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTM7VfO7xZA
"No" he said quietly. "It's not the same as Cynthia though"
426Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vq10BR4Iz
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"
