Tuesday morning had rolled around and Toni had asked the redhead what her plans for today were. Cheryl said she was staying at home today to get a little work done on her laptop and have a clean up. Toni was glad about that, she had secretly asked another waitress to take on her shifts leaving her work free for the week but she wasn't going to tell Cheryl yet, she was going to surprise her later. 'Okay babe, Tommy and I are ready to go' the shorter woman smiled. 'Okay babe let's go' Cheryl said standing from the couch and grabbing her car keys. They followed the same routine they did every weekday, take Tommy to school and then Toni to work. Cheryl waved her goodbye before driving back home. Toni had decided she was going to take a walk to the florist and buy Cheryl the biggest bunch of red roses they had and treat her to a day of doing whatever she wanted. She was really excited to spend some alone time with her girl even if they ended up just spending it at home. She made her way to the nearest florist, picking out the prettiest bunch of red roses before writing a little note on the small card. Once she was happy she called an Uber to take her home.
Cheryl heard a knock on her door while she was laid on the couch. She wasn't expecting anyone and she was sure the door was unlocked if it was Veronica, she hoped it wasn't her dreadful parents, her life had been perfect for the last few months and she didn't want anyone to ruin that. With a huff she stood up and opened the door, her eyes grew wide at the person stood at the other side of the door. 'Madison, what are you doing here?' Cheryl said angrily. 'Hey' the tall brunette held her hands up in surrender 'I just came to apologise about my behaviour'. 'Madison you attacked my girlfriend' Cheryl said her face heating up. 'I know, I'm sorry I was in a bad place' Madison looked like she genuinely meant it 'also I left some things here, I'm leaving the city and wanted to collect them if that's alright?'. 'Well your here now come in' Cheryl said making way for the brunette to enter her home 'wait here, I'll go grab your things'. The redhead left for the stairs in search of Madison's few belongings, she was sure she'd put them in her closet somewhere. This didn't feel right but Cheryl would be sure to let Toni know the situation later when she picked her up from work. When she found the small bag she made her way back down the stairs to Madison. 'Here you go, that should be everything' the redhead nodded.
Madison took a quick look in the bag before smiling at Cheryl 'it is, thank you Cheryl' she took a few steps forward stopping in front of the redhead. 'I just wanted to say I'm sorry again and I wish you the best of luck with everything' just as she leaned forward to embrace the redhead the front door opened. 'What the fuck' Toni said looking straight past Madison and to the redhead, even though Cheryl hadn't done anything wrong the whole situation made the colour drain from her cheeks, she knew how this would look to her girlfriend. 'TT wait' the redhead said pushing past Madison and chasing after Toni who was now marching down the driveway. She managed to grab a hold of Toni's arm. 'Don't touch me right now' Toni spat through gritted teeth the tears building up in her arms. Cheryl let her arm drop down to her side 'TT it's not what it looks like, Madison was just coming to say she was leaving, she left some things here, I was just getting them for her. Nothing happened, I promise, ask her yourself' the redhead turned to the tall brunette. 'I'm sorry Cheryl, I won't lie for you' she turned her head to Toni 'I'm sorry you had to find out this way Toni but I did try to warn you, she'll always come back to me' Madison smirked as she passed the couple 'I'll see you later babe' she winked at the redhead. That bitch.
'Toni please, believe me, she's lying' Cheryl begged. 'I'm leaving' Toni turned around again. 'Toni no!' Cheryl cried grabbing Toni's arm again. Toni pulled her arm away forcefully, she couldn't hold in her anger anymore 'it's over Cheryl!' she screamed causing the redhead to flinch 'I can't believe I fell for all pf your shit' she shook her head 'oh and surprise' she said throwing the bouquet of roses on the floor before storming away furiously wiping her fast falling tears. Cheryl watched her leave, she didn't know what to do, she collapsed onto her knees in tears as she picked up the flowers and the small envelope revealing a small card.
Cheryl
I just want you to know how special you are to me. I love everything about you, your smile, your eyes, your soul. You see me for me and I haven't been this happy for a long time if ever. Thank you for loving me the way you do and for also loving Tommy, he thinks the world of you. I want to make today all about you babe.
I love you forever
Yours
TT.Cheryl just wept as she read the note Toni had written for her, she knew Toni had meant what she said about it being over and there was no way she was going to let her explain. She pulled herself off the ground and dragged her heavy body into the house. She collapsed on the couch pulling out her phone and texting Toni in an attempt to get her to listen.
Cheryl Blossom
Toni please call me, it's not what you think. I love you, please don't do this.Toni's legs ached as she finally got to her apartment, she climbed the stairs hoping her brothers weren't home, that was the last thing she wanted to deal with right now. Of course it wasn't that easy, she walked into to apartment seeing her brothers sat on the couch playing video games. 'Oh hey Toni' Fangs smiled before seeing her devastated face. 'Toni what the hell happened' Fangs said dropping the controller and jumping over the couch. He wrapped his arms around his sister who just collapsed to the floor. He kept a hold of her while he guided her to the floor holding her close. 'Toni what the hell happened?' Sweet Pea said bending down his face full of concerned. She couldn't speak only sob, it felt like she had been crying forever, he brothers just sat by her patiently waiting for her to speak. 'Sweet, could you please pick Tommy up from school today?'. 'Of course T. Has something happened with you and Cheryl?' he asked looking at his sister. 'There is no me and Cheryl' she said moving herself from Fangs grip and standing up wiping her eyes. 'What? Why?' Fangs asked. 'Look I don't want to talk about it right now okay?' Toni said exhausted 'I'll let school know you're picking Tommy up, please would you keep him busy this afternoon I need some time alone' she tried to give her brothers a little smile but her lips could only tremble, she turned towards her room and shut the door behind her. 'Should we call Veronica?' Fangs asked Sweet Pea. 'I think we should' Sweet Pea nodded at his brother.
Veronica entered Cheryl's house in search of her best friend, she noticed the scattered roses all over the coffee table but the redhead was no where in site. She quietly climbed the stairs and reached Cheryl's bedroom door where she could hear quiet sobs through the wood. She carefully opened the door and stepped into the room but she couldn't see Cheryl only hear her in the dimly lit room, the only light peaking through the gaps in the curtains. She walked slowly around the bed to find Cheryl curled up on the floor clutching onto a small note in her hand. 'Oh my god Cheryl, what's happened?' Veronica immediately dropped to the floor pulling the sobbing woman against her chest. Veronica shushed her as she wept into her chest 'it's over...' another sob wracked her body 'and it's all my fault'. Veronica just let the redhead cry against her, her heart broke seeing her best friend in this state.
Cheryl eventually calmed down and Veronica moved her onto her bed. 'Look Fangs called me, he needs me to get a few things for Toni and Tommy okay?' she asked gently the redhead just nodding numbly. She sent a quick text to Fangs letting him know to set off and she'd be at the gate with some things for his sister and nephew. The pain in Cheryl's chest felt like it was going to kill her as she watched Veronica put some of Toni's things into a bag and when the brunette had left her room to enter Tommy's she just broke down again. She saw Veronica about to head down the stairs 'wait' the redhead croaked 'have you got Rory?'. 'Rory?' Veronica questioned. 'Yes he's Tommy's favourite teddy, he can't sleep without him, he's on the bed' Cheryl said as the tears fell. Veronica just nodded sympathetically as she entered the little boys bedroom again to retrieve his teddy bear.
Veronica opened the front door to see Fangs sat on his motorcycle on the pavement outside of the gate. She made her way over to him as he stepped off of his bike. 'Hey do you know what's going on?' she asked concerned 'Cheryl's a broken woman in there'. 'No idea' Fangs shook his head sadly 'Toni is exactly the same at home, it's so weird they seemed like they were so happy'. 'Well I think I'm going to spend a few days here and just keep an eye on her' Veronica nodded 'if Toni or Tommy need anything else just let me know okay?'. 'Okay Veronica thanks' he smiled as he jumped back on his bike and speeding back to the apartment. Veronica took a deep breath before turning back to Cheryl house and stepping inside.
