Cheryl's POV:
The monitor beeped a steady pace. I had listened to it for hours on repeat. It was basically implanted in my brain.
"Cheryl, you've been sat here almost 2 weeks. You can go home and just go eat or something and we'll rotate." Veronica offered. Everyone had come out of their way to apologise. Sweetpea and Josie were a bit skeptical of some of them but Toni deserves all the support she can possibly receive.
"Yeah V, I know that. Not going to switch with you though." I said
"Okay.. Well Kev and Archie are here." She replied
"Send them in." I commented

"Cheryl! We miss you back at school. It's not the same without you ruling the halls side by side with T-" Kevin cut himself off
"We're really sorry." Archie apologised
"It's alright Archie, you've only said that.. every one of the times you've been here." I replied
"Well what're the doctors saying? She getting close to being free of support soon?" Kevin asked
"I don't know.. hasn't got back to me for a couple days actually." I said, watching over Toni. Slowly, Tom Keller approached into view. I shifted back in my seat.
"What are you doing here.." I questioned
"Cheryl I came to say I'm so-" he started
"NO! LOOK I'VE ONLY JUST TAKEN APOLOGIES FROM THE OTHERS BUT I WILL NOT. I REPEAT I WILL NOT TAKE AN APOLOGY FROM THE MAN WHO HELD A GUN TO HER HEAD WHILE I WAS HELD BACK. THE MAN WHO HAD AN ENTIRE POLICE TEAM YET AGREED TO PENELOPE BLOSSOMS CIRCUMSTANCES. GET OUT." I ranted, punching each sentence into his chest. Archie and Kevin trying to push me off him.
As Tom didn't say another word and was leaving the room, the doctor walked in.

"Miss Blossom.." He said
"Yes?" I prayed for good news
"I'm afraid to say it's time." He sighed
"Time for.." I gestured for him to continue explaining
"Time to pull the plug on the life support.. there's been nothing but a heartb-" I once again cut someone off
"No.. I won't do that." I began crying
"No signs of any recovery.. I'm sorry Cheryl." The second sentence I knew too well.
"No no that's not true.. just give it atleast another week. Please Doctor." I begged
"Cheryl. Ms Topaz is practically braindead." He said with no emotion
"That's not possible. Toni is the strongest person I know, she'll fight this." I cried
"Cheryl, I know you know brain death is irreversible." He replied
"I'm sorry." He finished
Kevin and Archie both rushed into hug me as I cried as much as my body would let me.
——————————————————

It had been a while since the doctor had told me that it was the end of her, I was devastated. I had stopped crying so viciously but I couldn't come to terms with the actions I would soon face.
"Kev, Arch. I'm alright.. could you leave me alone for a bit?" I asked
"Yeah sure Cheryl. We'll be in the waiting room if you need anything." Kevin smiled and they both walked out

As I looked over Toni I struggled to find the words I would say.
"Toni Topaz."

"Who am I kidding starting it like that.."

"Toni.. I really wonder what it would've been like if this had all gone right"

"Where we'd be.."

"I remember, when we pranked Fangs. You started crying because the blood looked so real on me" I slightly laughed

"But It was me. Why couldn't it have been me."

"This speech won't do you any justice Toni. It's terrible that it wont."

"I'm sorry babe. We failed you. I failed you." I whispered

"My first love and forever love, I am forever grateful for you. I love you, and I am so so sorry that it had to be you." I finished whispering
