I jerk awake. Cheryl is still fast asleep on my shoulder. Kevin pulls up outside of my trailer, but she looks so peaceful and I don't want to wake her.
"Kev?" I whisper, "Can you help me get her inside?"
"Sure Toni," I can see the sad sympathy in his eyes, and I quickly wipe away the tears on my cheeks.
Kevin carefully lifts Cheryl out of the car, cradling her like a baby bird. As we walk up the steps to my trailer she begins to stir. "Kev?" she says, her voice barely audible, "Thank you."
"It's okay, Cheryl; you're safe now," he says. "Go back to sleep."
Veronica follows us through the door texting someone on her phone. "I'm telling Betty what happened, we'll be over tomorrow morning to check on you."
"Thanks V," I say. Kevin gently lays Cheryl on the couch. Before they leave Kevin and Veronica envelop me in a hug.
"I'm so sorry...I'll be here first thing in the morning," says Veronica. "Try and get some sleep."
"Thank you so much," I say. "Without the two of you...Cheryl wouldn't even be here right now..."
"You don't have to thank us," Kevin pulls me into a hug. "We're just glad that Cheryl is safe."
"Goodnight" says Veronica, giving me one last hug before they walk out the door and drive away.

I know that is a really short chapter, but I won't be able to post for a couple weeks and I didn't have time to finish a longer part. See you soon!
