My Hero || Choni fanfic

Chapter 7

Cheryl's POV: 

I looked over to the brunette woman and could see the fear start to form in her eyes. I was confused on why she was scared all of a sudden and started walking towards the door until I felt Toni softly grab my arm. That small, simple touch sent sparks all throughout my body. 

"Cheryl...what if it's him?" She asked, looking up at me.

 She still had ahold of my arm. I immediately knew who she was talking about. Steven. I hadn't thought about it being him, I just assumed that it was room service. There was no way that he could've gotten here this quickly. I sat in thought for a bit until my thoughts were interrupted by another set of knocks on the door, except these knocks were louder than the previous ones. 

"Go hide in the bathroom, okay? Just in case." I whispered to Toni and pointed to the door of the restroom with my free hand. She just nodded and quickly went into the restroom. 

Once Toni was in the restroom, I let out a huge breath which I wasn't aware that I was holding and walked towards the door. I opened the door to reveal a man who looked to be around his late 30's and had dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. 

"Hi" I said, giving the man a faux smile. 

"Hello, where's Toni?" He asked immediately, bouncing on the heels of his feet. He was clearly eager to get Toni back into his grasps. 

"She left" I said quickly, it was the only thing I could think of at the moment. Going based off the look on his face, he didn't buy it and starting peeking around the room but still stayed in his spot outside of the door. He suddenly stopped looking.

"She left?" He asks with a raised eyebrow

"Yep!" I responded

"Why is her phone still here then?" He asks, pointing somewhere behind me. I turned around to see where he was pointing and saw her phone laying on the bed. I cursed myself under my breath and quickly turned back around to face the man.

"She must've left it by mistake! I'll be sure to give it to her" I told the man.

"I'm not that stupid woman" Steven says and pushes his way pass me into the room before I could stop him the man was already searching the room. 

"TONI! WHERE ARE YOU" The blonde male yells while looking around the room

"She's not here!" I slightly yelled at the man. I started to panic a little when I saw him walking towards the bathroom.

"is she in here?" The man looks over to me and asks while pointing at the door.

"No, she isn't" I said calmly, trying to keep down any suspicion of her being in there. He just scoffed and rolled his eyes. I saw him reaching for the doorknob and spoke up. 

"You have 5 seconds to leave my room before I call security." I told the man and picked up the hotel phone off of the nightstand. He looked at me, then back at the door, then back at me again. As if he was contemplating on leaving or not. I started to dial numbers on the phone while counting down. 

"5" I stated. He just looked at the door again and started biting his lip. 

"4" I stated the next number, by then he was running his hands through his hair.

"Come on Steven, stop making this hard on yourself and leave." I said honestly, yet he still stayed in his spot.

"TONI! COME OUT OF THE FUCKING BATHROOM RIGHT NOW" He yelled and started twisting the doorknob. When the door didn't open, he started banging on it.

"3" I said louder than the previous numbers. Why was he so difficult to get rid of? I felt nerves start to fill my body the longer he stayed. I realized that he wasn't going to leave until I actually dialed the security. So I did and held the phone up to my ear.

"You're just bluffing" he said nervously, his voice shaking a bit when he saw me lift the phone to my ear. 

"Hi, there's this man in my hotel room who is refusing to leave, he goes by the name-" I start to say but stop once I see him sprint out of the room. I let out a sigh of relief and tell security that he's gone now. I place the phone back down on the nightstand and quickly went over to the bathroom door. I heard soft sniffles from the other side of the door and softly knocked on it.

"Toni, it's me, Cheryl" I said softly but loudly enough for her to hear it. I heard the door unlock and slowly opened it to reveal a crying and slightly shaking Toni sitting on the floor with her legs pulled up to her chest and her head resting on her knees. I walked over to her and sat down beside her. 

"May I?" I asked while holding my arms out. She just looked up at me and nodded, that was all the confirmation I needed before wrapping my arms around the girl. She immediately removed her arms from around her legs and wrapped them around my waist. The action made goosebumps appear on my skin but also made me feel so warm inside. She placed her head on my shoulder and just cried. I rubbed small circles on her back as we sat in silence with nothing but her small sobs being the only sound in the room.
