(Morning after the incident)
[Cheryl POV]: Even though that night we both got hurt, our hearts have healed. The night after the things happened we came to my house and Nana helped both myself and TT. My grandma had studied in medical school and was a doctor for 50 years. She had everything needed if something like this happened. I only had a small bruise near my cheek but poor Toni had bruises and scratches everywhere. My heart aches for her. We're staying home today even though it breaks my perfect attendance record. At this point, I don't even care about it anymore, I just want to be there for Toni. I don't know what we are together, but after the kiss, I know I have to care for her. She is one of the most important people in my life. She is the most important person in my life. I don't know what this is inside my head, but i kinda like it.

[Toni POV]: I did get hurt pretty badly last night, but waking up next to Cheryl made up for everything. When I looked at her, I never felt pain, only happiness. We stayed in bed, on our phones the first few minutes of the day, but after about half an hour, Nana rose called us down to eat breakfast. I smelled it from the top of the stairs, pancakes, one of my favorite breakfasts. The past few days we were a bit rushed so we couldn't have a home cooked meal, but I'm not bothered by having to wait a little bit. I am literally obsessed with food, honestly I don't know how the amount that I eat can fit in my little self. Cheryl and I made it down the stairs and went directly to the kitchen, smiling at each other the whole way.Once we reach the kitchen, Nana Rose smiles at us while putting down the plates,
"I'm sorry I couldn't make you a real meal recently girls. It was a bit difficult for me but I'm fine now. I hope this is enough." She said smiling.
"Oh no Nana Rose that's perfectly fine. And thank you, I haven't been able to eat like this, even pancakes since, well I can't remember." I replied back to her. Cheryl seemed to look at me sadly.
"I hope you girls enjoy." Nana said.
I started eating directly after we finished talking trying to savor every bite but I just couldn't. I kept stuffing my face and couldn't stop. Nana rose made such good pancakes. Soon enough, through the corner of my eye, I could she Cheryl giggling.
"What!" I said, not realizing I had stuffed my face with pancakes.
"Oops." I said giggling.
Cheryl burst out into laughter. Her laugh was so cute and contagious and soon it caught up to me, and after Nana Rose. We were all laughing at the table for no reason. It was so fun.
After we finished laughing for a good two minutes, Nana Rose started,
"Oh, you girls make me feel young again."
Both Cheryl and I smiled at her. We continued to eat our pancakes and started talking. It was weird, I've never felt this much at home.
We finished our breakfasts and we all had fun, laughing most of the time. Both Cheryl and Nana Rose were so easy to talk to. I finally felt as if I belonged. I decided to put all of our dishes in the sink, happily knowing that Nana Rose liked me. That was good, very.
"I'm going to go to the garden, coming TT?" Cheryl said.
"Actually, Antoinette here will help me set up my movies." Nana Rose stated.
I didn't want to help Nana Rose and wanted to be with Cheryl, but I still would anyways.
"Ok, I will see you soon, Cher." I waved to her as she walked out the door.I started wheeling Rose to the living room when she spoke up,
"Antoinette, when we reach the living room, I would like to talk to you about something."
