i love you too | choni

'thank you, toni'

Cheryl's hand was still firmly gripped around mine as we drove to the trailer park, her gorgeous red mane spread over my shoulder as she relaxed into my chest, her breathing slowing as she drifted off.

'Is here ok' asked Kevin pulling up next to the obnoxiously large 'sunnyside trailer park' sign. 'here is fine, thanks Kev' i said softly trying not to wake the broken girl curled up to my right. I carefully unbuckled her seatbelt and lifted her into my arms, she stirred and wrapped her arms around my neck, slightly scratching the skin on my neck with her killer red nails.

I fumbled to get my keys out the of my jacket, eventually finding them in the inside pocket under a packet of pink hair dye. Cheryl was clearly disturbed by the noise, her breathing quickening as she started restlessly moving around in my arms. Her eyes opening hastily looking around for familiar ground, she looked up at me, her pupils dilated immediatly and her stiff body moulded back into my arms. 'it's only me princess' i whispered.

I carried Cheryl through my trailer and into my bedroom, i placed her gently on my bed and dug through my wardrobe until i found one of my oversized t-shirts. I then worked on removing that cursed conversion uniform from her fragile body. Once she was dressed in my oversized shirt, i pulled the blankets over her and turned the light off, but as i was exiting the room, a soft voice spoke from the bed in the corner. 'stay' she said, 'please'.

I climbed into the bed with her and she and immediately lent her head on my stomach, i wrapped a protective arm around her and pulled her close. 'thank you, Toni' she whispered. i kissed her temple and stroked her hair until i heard her breathing slow, i then let myself fall into a deep sleep.

A/N - I know this chapter is short but they will get longer once we get into the storyline more x
