[Toni ⭐️]: Are you okay?
[Cheryl 🍒]: Of course I'm okay, why wouldn't I be?
[Toni ⭐️]: Cheryl don't lie
[Toni ⭐️]: I heard you screaming and crying for help over the phone
[Cheryl 🍒]: I didn't call you.
[Toni ⭐️]: and I didn't want to not pick up
[Cheryl 🍒]: You're sure it wasn't someone else? You could've called someone else.
[Toni ⭐️]: Cheryl I heard you okay?
[Cheryl 🍒]: I didn't mean to call you
[Toni ⭐️]: Well I'm glad I picked up because you could've gotten seriously hurt. That is, if you aren't seriously hurt.
[Cheryl 🍒]: my mom beat me
[Toni ⭐️]: your MOM?
[Cheryl 🍒]: Toni i live in an abusive household okay? It's not a shocker
[Toni ⭐️]: I mean yeah, kids get slapped by their parents if they do something stupid but you were SCREAMING. And please tell me that I didn't hear your mom punch your stomach, because I heard you about to throw up
[Cheryl 🍒]: im okay
[Toni ⭐️]: no you arent. you need HELP
[Cheryl 🍒]: Can we just text? This is helping.
[Toni ⭐️]: Fine.
[Toni ⭐️]: But you tell me every injury you have right now or I'm gonna leave
[Cheryl 🍒]: Fair enough
[Cheryl 🍒]: my arms and legs have contusions all over them, I almost threw up, and there's blood on my head
[Toni ⭐️]: oh my god
[Cheryl 🍒]: its been far worse
[Cheryl 🍒]: this is pretty minor I'll be okay
[Toni ⭐️]: You're joking right?
[Toni ⭐️]: Minor??
[Cheryl 🍒]: Toni.
[Toni ⭐️]: I'm listening
[Cheryl 🍒]: when I was 12 years old, my mother broke 2 of my ribs, had me throwing up for weeks, gave me a concussion which is why I have that scar that you're always asking about, and left me in the emergency room for 4 days straight.
[Cheryl 🍒]: like I said
[Cheryl 🍒]: This is minor
[Toni ⭐️]: I cant say anything
[Cheryl 🍒]: I'm sorry
[Toni ⭐️]: For what?
[Cheryl 🍒]: for scaring you
[Toni ⭐️]: Cheryl, you were abused as a child and still are being abused. You have nothing to be sorry about.
[Cheryl 🍒]: Can we just text normally?
[Toni ⭐️]: How bout we FaceTime?
[Cheryl 🍒]: Okay

Third POV
Toni seemed really calm. Cheryl was quite surprised but Toni knew when to act what way.
"You look like you're in pain" said Toni.
"And you look like you're a pile of shit" replied Cheryl.
"No, but actually" said Toni.
"The world will never know" said Cheryl with a faint smile. Toni noticed that Cheryl was holding the phone with one hand while the other had apparently gone somewhere else, but Cheryl was just holding her bruised up stomach.
"Yes Toni, I am in pain. Are you happy now?" said Cheryl.
"I'm sorry. How much?" asked Toni. Toni didn't want to be too pushy with the questions, but she couldn't help but wonder if Cheryl was okay.
"A-a lot" said Cheryl shakily.
"I'm really sorry. I'll see you in school tomorrow though. I'll bring some pain meds" said Toni.
Cheryl nodded and then hung up. She then started crying and buried her face into her pillow, hoping that her now fast paced heart rate would lull her to sleep.
