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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4xQ2ClJuk
"He promised me cocaine!" Cherry said, and Quaker sighed.

A few hours later, Cherry found out that she had chlamydia.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ94PnjcSSSz
"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"
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNUX1TTl1B
"Sully and Ringo had sex with her, too..." Strawberry pointed out.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlqTOvzJgo
"Not unprotected" Cherry tried to hold back the tears.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrzc3zOtIP
"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"
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVrkz5rbZW7
Cherry sighed, as they headed back up to Sully's room.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iYVoDCXw1
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLoau8v8yR
"I- I have chlamydia" Cherry whispered. "I got it from Muffins. You might wanna, you know, get tested. They gave me antibiotics"
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG3GovbzjX
"Oh, wow" Stitch said. "Tha- Thanks for letting me know. Does Muffins know?"
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BGkPhwBjc
"Not yet," Cherry said. "Where is he?"
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJP2VRUVTK
"He ran to the store to get cigs" Stitch said. "I can tell him when he comes back up if you'd like"
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkjjKpmLcT9
"Thanks, Stitch" Cherry said.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1h1YwT9Ko
They half hugged, awkwardly, and walked back to the lounge.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzgffzDWwj
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"
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7MDigqmVq
"Oh my god, that's wonderful!" Cherry jumped up and hugged the nurse.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIEcSxT88f
"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"
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZu9tj9vfa
"Um, sure" the nurse looked at him side eyed.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSeksmovvf
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPc2qPvMvib
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"
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUhVNprpdn
"You're the best" Stitch smiled, passing her 5 dollars.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcidRkU7jw
The nurse looked at him strangely and walked away.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDJ3GWg2BXV
Stitch headed back to the lounge to see that Muffins had returned.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqjqtedHkT
"Muffins, can I talk to you?" Stitch asked. "In private?"
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8bcHM7GR9
"Uh, sure" Muffins followed him into the hallway.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn5mpp7dkf
"Cherry and I have chlamydia" Stitch whispered.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXDTK1EuMU
"Okay..." Muffins was confused.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpNtWL7U0e
"Cherry must have gotten it from you" Stitch said. "The two of us need to get tested. Now"
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aNg0UXM99
"From your first sentence, it sounds like you already knew that you have it" Muffins said.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuMlYflNJnw
"I mean I'm pretty sure I do" Stitch replied, looking scared.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5LFpmsSDu
"Shit" Muffins looked worried and started pacing around, holding his head between his hands. "Shit shit SHIT!"
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTCaqhB1Hr
"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"
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeIG5U9xpC
"I don't know, I'm just so stressed" Muffins said. "I need to stop doing coke"
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrepvrFrQ4
"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"
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ462q8k1vQ
"Fine" Muffins sighed, as he followed Stitch the other way to get tested.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrbBiPJT2Y
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C0W86uxCD
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.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74KpROKpba
Then she heard a weak voice speak her name.
"Cherry..."
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCJwGa8LJ0
She turned around.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6ypgt5nbm
"Sully!" she exclaimed. "Do you know where you are?"
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Tkn3LxEJi
"No..." Sully gave her a blank stare from his bruised up black eyes.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPZv6nCD4x
A nurse walked in. "Sully, you had an accident" she said gently.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDbTEtHdsW
"Those mexicans..." Sully said weakly. "Cynthia's cousins... they hit me... beat me..."
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYxJBYgzjT
"What?" Cherry asked. "Are you sure?"
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg774aGQnUk
Sully tried to nod his head, but it hurt too much. He just groaned. "Their names were Lenny and Eddie" he struggled to say.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXG3QMIkW3
"I'm calling the cops" Cherry said. "Excuse me"
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQV1VBTdydE
She stepped into the hallway, and returned about five minutes later.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWAIDQmC8w
"Sully, do you know their last names?" she asked, covering the mouthpiece.
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ447WajmvSR
"No" he said quietly. "It's not the same as Cynthia though"
282Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlzJd7JCnP
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"
