Unknown Lover | A Texting Story

Chapter XIII 🌟

Cheryl cried softly hugging her, she didn't want Toni to leave her. She had lost too many people she loved.

"Cherry baby, I'm not going anywhere." Toni spoke wrapping her arms around Cheryl letting her hand gently slide down Cheryl's ginger hair repeating it multiple times until she eventually calmed down.

"I'm sorry..." the redhead mumbled. Toni gently pushed her away to look into her eyes before leaning in and pressing a kiss to her lips.

"It's okay, babydoll..." she sighed, "Do you really want to know what happened?" the redhead looked up at her and nodded slightly. "No one else can know about this okay? And you need to promise me you won't do anything about this..."

The redhead was nodding to her questions.

"If this person finds out I've told you... You'll be in great danger." Toni said pressing a kiss to her girlfriend's forehead before taking her hand and leading her towards the bathroom, closing the door behind them.

"What happened to you..?" Cheryl asked scared of what might've happen to her.

Toni removed her shirt revealing all the cuts, scars and bruises, causing Cheryl's eyes to widen and the same to rush to her. Her eyes analyzing every bruise, every scar, every cut before she looked at her eyes. The brunette blurted, "My mom.. This was all my mom..." her eyes filled with tears.

"Oh my God baby.. I know I promised I wouldn't do anything but TT.. Your mother needs to a less-" Toni's eyes widened and she was quick to shake her head no.

"No, Cher, please don't do anything. If my mom finds out I told you about what happened you'll be in great danger! And losing you or having you get hurt because of me is the last thing I want, so please.. please just don't do anything about it." The brunette replied, she wanted nothing but safety for Cheryl.

"Baby, I'm not going anywhere. But fine, I promise I won't do anything. Now let's focus on stopping the blood from coming out and get that wound healed." the redhead said rushing her to the nursery. Since it was too early, there was no one there so Cheryl grabbed what she needed and cleansed the wound to prevent it from infecting. Then grabbed a bandage putting it around her waist to cover the wound and stop the bleeding.

“I’m sorry.” the redhead apologised as she saw the painful expression in her girlfriend's eyes, she finished shortly after and gently gave her a peck on the lips. “It’s all gonna be okay... I promise.”

Cheryl helped Toni up from the nursery's bed and both walked towards the gym, where the Vixens were reviewing their routine.

“Cher, I want to do the routine... I don't want to just sit here and watch.” the brunette said and Cheryl quickly shook her head negatively.

“Oh hell no! Are you crazy, TT!? You're hurt and it will get worse if you do too much effort.” the pale woman spoke, walking her to the seats. “Look, after practice I promise I'll take you to the hospital to get you stitched up.

“No. Please, no hospitals!” she exclaimed in panic.

“But you'll have to let me stitch you then.. without any anesthesia...” Cheryl said, sitting next to her and Toni nodded her head.

“I rather have you stitching me coz I love you and I know you won't harm me. Then going to an Hospital so God knows who stitches me.” Cheryl sighed softly, thank God she knew how to stitch someone.

“What if I didn't know how to stitch you up? You would've just stayed that way?”

“Maybe... I don't know. I didn't even know you knew how to stitch someone.”

“Okay, TT we're definitely going home right now. The bandage is doing little or nothing at all.” the redhead turned towards the girls, “V, lead then from here. I got a more important matter in my hands right now. If we're not back before our first period tell the teacher Toni got hurt or something.”

And with that said, Cheryl helped Toni up and leaded her towards the exit of the school building.

*A few moments later*

Cheryl had arrived at Thistlehouse with Antoinette, who was now sitting down on an armchair while the redhead stitched her up. Toni groaned in pain but tried not to and the redhead was hating herself for hurting her own girlfriend.

“Done.” she said finally putting down everything and just gently pulling Toni in for a hug, “I’m really sorry, baby.”

“It’s okay.” she leaned in and pecked her lips tenderly, receiving a sweet smile from the redhead, “You’re so precious...”
