Anything For Love

Chapter 20

"Toni, can you pass me the remote?" Kenny asked.

"Oh my god, Ken you act like you can't do anything for yourself, it's like if I wasn't here you would just completely fall apart" Toni shouted while marching upstairs.

"I'll be right back Pey" He said while getting up and heading upstairs.

"Is auntie Toni ok?" Peyton asked with a concerned look on her face.

"Yea she's fine sweetie, she's just...crazy"

Kenny walked upstairs and heard crying coming from one of the guest bedrooms.

"Toni, baby are you ok" He said standing in front of the door.

"Uh *sniffes* yea I'm...fine" She said wiping her face.

"Can I-"

"No, you can't do anything, just leave me alone" She said walking past him and grabbing her stuff.

"Where are you going?" He asked following her.

"I'm going home" She said walking outside.

"Toni *grabs her arm* can you please tell me what's wrong"

"I... I just can't I'm sorry Kenny" She said while pulling away from him, getting in her car, and driving away.

"I love you" Kenny uttered just as Toni sped off.

~Toni's POV~
I know I have been pretty hormonal and mean towards Kenny, but I can't help it. I found out some terrible news and I just can't handle it, just when I thought for a second that everything was going right, I get a call from my sister telling me that our mother and father are getting a divorce. My father has been cheating on my mother for years and I can't believe it. I always thought my mom and dad were so in love with each other and since he's a preacher, I thought that he could never do anything that would violate the vows that he took before God. All I can bring myself to think is if my father, a servant of the lord, can do something so awful and disgusting, then what makes you think Kenny wouldn't do the same thing or worse. I mean I know I cheated on Keri with Kenny but Keri was beating me and treating me unfairly so I had a right to leave...right?

~Kenny's POV~
I began to walk back into my house and told Peyton I was going to lay down as I lay in my bed and stared at the ceiling all I could think about is Toni. I really want to be there for her and help her and understand why she is acting this way, but I can't do that if she is constantly shutting down and putting her guards up. I just need to get to the bottom of this. I finally decided to call Tamar and see if she knew what was going on.

On the phone...
Tamar: Hello

Kenny: Hey Tamar

Tamar: Let me guess, you want to know what's wrong with my sister

Kenny: Yes actually, she has been really distant and grouchy lately and when I tried to talk to her she got upset and left crying.
