58: The One Where Toni Doesn't Leave The Room

SWEETPEA POV:

I hold her down. "No! Let me go!" Toni yells. I look over a Fangs, he gives me a sad look. "Call Cheryl." I whisper. "No! You're not getting her into this!" She gets out of my hold and punches me right in the face. I stand up for a second forgetting I need to hold her down. Once I realize that I should do that, I Football tackle her to the ground. "Get off me!" I pick her up and throw her into her room. She tries to break it down. "Sweetpea I swear to fucking god if you don't let me out I'm going to fucking murder you and I won't regret it!" I lock the door but stay by it knowing she's fully capable of breaking it down. "Where is she?" Cheryl comes in. "In here but I think we should give her a minute." I whisper as Toni pounds on the door. "What happened?" She ask quietly. Fangs holds down the door as I walk into the living room. "I brought up her parents." She looks at me confused. "She's also coming off of a high which just added fuel to the fire." I tell her.

CHERYL POV:

I knock on the door. "Toni can I come in." She throws something at the door. Probably a shoe nothing that could break the door down. "Fuck off!" She yells. I can hear the pain in her voice. Sweetpea unlocks the door. "I'm just going to tell her she might be half naked when you go in there and rapped in a blanket." I look at him and go in. I close the door behind me, I look at all the dents in the door/room in general, but a lot of them have been here since I started dating her. I sit next to the bed. "TT, what's wrong?" I ask quietly. She just rolls over so her backs to me. I sigh and sit on the bed. "Shoes off." She whispers. I smile and throw my shoes off. I find the remote and turn on The Simpsons. I don't know why she likes this show. Slowly but surely she moves her head to my lap and she falls asleep. Sweetpea walks in. I put my finger over my mouth. He nods. "Go home." I whisper. He walks out. Toni starts to wake up slowly. "Do you want to talk?" She ask slowly. She sits up and wipes her tears. I look her in the eyes. "Toni, what were you on?" I ask quietly. "Jingle- Jangle. It put my problems in a box, nicely." She whispers. "You're still high aren't you?" She nods. "A little." She lies into me. "It made you that mad?" She nods. "I'm sorry I forgot it did that to me." She starts crying. "You're ok." I rub her back. Toni snuggles into me. We lie there for a while. "I love Cheryl so much. I-I don't know how to tell her. I know- I know she loves me, but she's been through so much, I'm afraid of scaring her off." I take a deep breath.

"Toni last night, you said you loved me." Her face drops. "I said that out loud?!" I nod. "I love you too." I whisper. She looks up. "I didn't want to scare you off or anything so I waited." She whispers. I smile softly. "We've been dating for 6 months now! Why did you think I didn't love you?" I ask. She shrugs. "Because I know how your family has treated you, it's not that I didn't think you loved me! There's no doubt in my mind but Cheryl, we almost broke up 5 times because you didn't know how to react to certain milestones in a relationship." I look down because she's not wrong. "I was just waiting until I knew you were ready to hear it." I pull her into a kiss. "Can we talk about last night?" I ask quietly. She gets quiet. She lies her head on my lap. "My parents abandoned me when I was born, I've been in and out of foster homes until they found my aunt and uncle who are the greatest people ever but, the amount of abuse I went through before. Sometimes I need to let go, and and-." She shakes her head. "I don't want to talk about it right now. I just want you to hold me." She whispers. I grab the remote and turn the TV onto some channel and let it play whatever. I pull her into me closer and she falls asleep. There's a knock on the door and Fangs comes in. "Is she ok?" He ask quietly. "No. I've never seen her this beaten down." I whisper. "Do you want me to bring anything? She's probably going to refuse to leave this bed for another day or two. She has a habit of shutting down for a few days after stuff like last night." He tells me. "When was the last time this happened?" I ask quietly. "Before you guys started dating. Around this time last year. It gets harder than usual for her around her birthday." My eyes widen. "She doesn't want to do anything and don't do what Betty did for Jughead because we both know how that ended." Fangs looks me right in the eyes. "Yeah, you're right." I laugh a little. "Do you guys need anything?" He ask again. "Some comfort foods. Like candy and what not." I say looking down at Toni. "Ok, her 'comfort foods' are weird but I know what to get." He gets up and leaves. I decide to wake Toni up. "Toni." I nudge her softly. She looks up at me. "At least take a shower baby." I whisper quietly. She rolls over. "No!" She insist. "Come on." I force her up. She groans trying to pull away from me. I pull her into the living room. "Cheryl please. I'm not in the mood." I look at her sadly. "Fangs told me your birthday is coming up. Is that what really bothering you?" I ask quietly. She nods. "Not all of it, it's the other stuff too." She looks up. I see the tears running down from her face. I kneel in front of her and wipe them. "Have you talked to your aunt or uncle about this?" She shakes her head. "They're on a business trip and I don't want to bother them." She whispers. I grab her phone and hand it to her. "You're their niece. They aren't going to be bothered especially if it has to do with your mental health." She nods and calls her aunt. "Put her on speaker." I whisper. "Hey sweetheart, everything ok?" Toni looks up at me and I give her a reassuring nod. "No, I had another breakdown and I don't really know what to do right now." She says taking a deep breath after. I see the panic on her face, so I take her hand and squeeze it. "When?" Her aunt ask concerned. "Friday. I didn't want to bother you and Thomas." She wipes her tears quickly. "It's ok, you just shouldn't have waited to tell me. I can't really do anything about it right now but, when we get back do you want to talk about it?" Toni nods. "Toni She can't see you." I remind her. "Right, yeah I think that would be great." She says awkwardly. "Is Cheryl there?" She ask concerned. "Hey Ms. Topaz."

"Ok so I got cupcakes, grapes, cheese puffs and various candies that I don't know why she likes but she does." Fangs says pulling everything out of the bag. "No ice cream?" I ask quietly. "She hates it when she's like this, trust me she threw a whole thing at me after a really bad break up because she it makes her feel cold." He looks at me right in the eyes, I've never seen him this serious. "You know she's bipolar right?" He ask quietly. "That's why she does this." He says so quiet that Toni can't here from the other room. "It doesn't surprise me." I say sadly.
