Choni - New Attractions

Emotional Wrecks.

Cheryls Pov

As soon as I read what was written on the back of the note, I instantly felt like this was my fault, for pissing Veronica off, causing the big argument between her and Toni, and the public shaming aspect of it. I always knew that she and her family were manipulative bitches, but they are going to the level of breaking into somebodies trailer and taking the things that mean most to her, that was a bitch move.

"Veronica Fucking Lodge, god how much I hate her." I said quietly under my breath, so only me and Toni could hear, I wrapped my arms around Toni, as she sobbed quietly next to me. "Toni, if this is my fault, I'm sorry. I shouldnt have got you involved in this mess." She raised her head slowly and rested her forehead on mine.
"It's not your fault Cheryl, it was my choice to say what I said to Veronica, I did it because your the only person I care about, and I couldnt bare to see you get hurt by her." She moved her head so her lips touched mine softly and I felt her smile. We were each others medicine in times of pain, we were always there for each other at the right time, no matter what, it was always that way.
"Are you Ok now Toni?"
"Im more worried, about what shes going to do next." I knew she wasnt lying, you could see it on her face, it was a look of fear.
"We can confront her tomorrow ok, sort it all out, I promise." She laid down on my lap, tears still falling down her face.
"Thank you Cheryl.."
"Don't worry about it, its what girlfriends are for."

We sat like this for the next hour, discussing what we would do tomorrow. It took her a while but Toni eventually stopped crying. I had never seem this side of Toni before, the Vulnerable and pain filled Toni. It made me happy how much she was opening up to her, meaning she trusted me, which made us closer than ever.

"Oh my God, its Midnight Cheryl. You can go home if you want, I'll tidy this mess myself, I dont want you being tired." I laughed at her. "What?!"
"Do you really think I would leave you alone after this. I'm staying and helping, I dont care what you say." A final tear rolled down her cheek, but this time, it was happiness and comfort, not suffering and depression.
"I love you Cheryl, no matter what, you have always been there for me since we met. That really means something to me." I stood up and pulled her up too, we were now both on our feet in the middle of the wrecked room.
"Come on, you need to rest, let's go to bed, we can sort this mess out tommorow, Ok?"
"Ok."

When we entered the bedroom, I saw loads of bits of torn up polaroids on the floor, noticeably pictures of Toni and the Serpents, pictures where she looked happy. The serpents meant so much to her, meaning they meant lots to me, because they made her forget about the hate in her life, and made her enjoy it instead. Which meant everything to me. We walked over to the bed and pushed everything that had been taken out of the cupboard off it. Both of us just collapsed on the bed and moved into each others arms and laid in silence. But it wasnt uncomfortable silence, it was relaxing, calming almost.
"Toni, can I say something?" I wanted to open up to Toni more now that she had opened up to me.
"Yeh, sure, what is it?" She rolled over to face me.
"Ever since my brother was murdered, I always felt like I would never be happy again in my life. Two people that meant so much to me had been taken away from me. Both Heather and Jason. My mother was constantly torturing me, putting me through pain, saying I was a mistake and all my thoughts were a mistake. My Father was no better, they both never, ever gave me any sympathy. When my dad left us and moved away I thought that time in my life was over, that I could start again. But it just got worse, my mom was in pain from my dad leaving her, and she reciprocated that onto me. So one day, I wanted to end it all..." I started to tear up while explaining the story to Toni.
"Cheryl.. Oh my god.."
"I swallowed a bunch of pills, I fell really Ill, and was on the brink of death when my Mother found me, she rushed me straight to hospital, but her saving me made me hate her even more. I just wanted to leave this place but she kept me here. So moving to southside high was an opportunity to really have a fresh start. Thats when I met you, and my life became so much better with you in it." At this point tears were streaming down my face. "My brothers murdered has never been found, my dad completely disappeared off the face of the earth, if it wasn't for you, my life would still be in pieces. Thank you, TT." She lifted up her hand and wiped the tears off my face, she looked just as emotional as me right now.
"Cheryl, I should be thanking you, for everything. You helped me cope with my mothers passing without even knowing you did. Until I met you she was all I thought about, my life was being swallowed by darkness, and you were the light." We both just stared into each others eyes for minutes without end, we were emotional wrecks right now, so I wanted to lighten the mood but I didnt know how.
"God we both have tragic backstories." She laughed a little, a smile slightly appearing.
"Maybe thats why we work so well." I leaned into her and kissed her.
"Night T.T."
"Night Blossom"
