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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4yTHFLfFb
"He promised me cocaine!" Cherry said, and Quaker sighed.

A few hours later, Cherry found out that she had chlamydia.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPrVHk7EyC
"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"
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqLI0KBYa37
"Sully and Ringo had sex with her, too..." Strawberry pointed out.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSMiEGQaMY
"Not unprotected" Cherry tried to hold back the tears.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI0jZR0HWP
"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"
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SAAuoJgyW
Cherry sighed, as they headed back up to Sully's room.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcfWPsGPgA
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg1meWVqBi
"I- I have chlamydia" Cherry whispered. "I got it from Muffins. You might wanna, you know, get tested. They gave me antibiotics"
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJH4AMurnr
"Oh, wow" Stitch said. "Tha- Thanks for letting me know. Does Muffins know?"
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLs6w9Ymp0o
"Not yet," Cherry said. "Where is he?"
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMELuBYDVqs
"He ran to the store to get cigs" Stitch said. "I can tell him when he comes back up if you'd like"
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei7cBh3C8s
"Thanks, Stitch" Cherry said.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHbVWWmGOy
They half hugged, awkwardly, and walked back to the lounge.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkx4CJR4SPs
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"
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEiQFSnPq4
"Oh my god, that's wonderful!" Cherry jumped up and hugged the nurse.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONshJ5ynlP
"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"
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTFPh5NsUG
"Um, sure" the nurse looked at him side eyed.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58f6Yboeqr
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1EXUe2Sh7
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"
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRTUtLrIBl
"You're the best" Stitch smiled, passing her 5 dollars.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVzEKiRxz4
The nurse looked at him strangely and walked away.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SUIhhdysr
Stitch headed back to the lounge to see that Muffins had returned.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzLqEbN8ZB
"Muffins, can I talk to you?" Stitch asked. "In private?"
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuONYX0L0vR
"Uh, sure" Muffins followed him into the hallway.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5c2z6B6T9
"Cherry and I have chlamydia" Stitch whispered.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTPQWNHjaF
"Okay..." Muffins was confused.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69ymVZtaRC
"Cherry must have gotten it from you" Stitch said. "The two of us need to get tested. Now"
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrEcmb1pzH
"From your first sentence, it sounds like you already knew that you have it" Muffins said.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfewwDgLNDM
"I mean I'm pretty sure I do" Stitch replied, looking scared.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQEFEXeZof
"Shit" Muffins looked worried and started pacing around, holding his head between his hands. "Shit shit SHIT!"
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNaSafSA9e
"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"
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGI70l7wxZ
"I don't know, I'm just so stressed" Muffins said. "I need to stop doing coke"
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX5zyE7qh6
"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"
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKbzPjCYQ2
"Fine" Muffins sighed, as he followed Stitch the other way to get tested.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMUqPyiM6d
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjh4lXFslbO
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.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMhdJcGBl2
Then she heard a weak voice speak her name.
"Cherry..."
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3SBcVEeYCR
She turned around.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ58FX6hsw5
"Sully!" she exclaimed. "Do you know where you are?"
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt06ROZLUbv
"No..." Sully gave her a blank stare from his bruised up black eyes.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhbvORJHTD
A nurse walked in. "Sully, you had an accident" she said gently.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6N2QqdPCv4
"Those mexicans..." Sully said weakly. "Cynthia's cousins... they hit me... beat me..."
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E6a9XiYcs
"What?" Cherry asked. "Are you sure?"
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1Jebb51La
Sully tried to nod his head, but it hurt too much. He just groaned. "Their names were Lenny and Eddie" he struggled to say.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioF4v3yYnA
"I'm calling the cops" Cherry said. "Excuse me"
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsY9vuLv6A
She stepped into the hallway, and returned about five minutes later.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQW1kzOuyMx
"Sully, do you know their last names?" she asked, covering the mouthpiece.
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHMxcKmKDi
"No" he said quietly. "It's not the same as Cynthia though"
372Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RaZdPL6ES
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"
