Cheryl's POV
I woke to the whispers of the doctors., they were standing next to Toni's bed.

"She is still unresponsive, her bloods are back to normal. So hopefully we should have some response soon." I recognised the voice it was dr Phil Murray.

My eyes where still to heavy to open. I could hear them make their way to the end of my bed, they pulled my chart out. "Okay Cheryl, should be ready for discharge today, her vitals appear to be normal," dr Murray said.

I stretched out my arms and opened my eyes.

"Good morning Cheryl,"Phil said.

"Good morning Phil," I said as I offered him a small smile.

"How do you feel? You should be able to return home today," he said smiling back.

"I will not be leaving until TT can," I said as I grabbed TTs hand.

"I see well we will disconnect the drip and remove the monitors, so at least you will be comfortable," he said.

"Thank you Phil." I said while evil eyeing dr Kalahari.

The doctors left the room and minutes later the nurses returned to remove my drip and monitor.

"Thank you ," I said as they left the room.

I shuffled out of my bed and made my way to Toni's bed. Gosh she was so small there was enough room for me to lay next to her. Her perfectly toned body. The sun was bouncing off her beautiful lips, I couldn't resist to give them a quick kiss. Her hair fell perfectly, she looked like an angel. An angel sent here to rescue me and she did. I sat there gazing at her for what felt like the longest time. The urge to shower suddenly rushed over me. I looked around the room realising I didn't have any clothes or toiletries. I made my way to my phone and called Veronica.

Veronica
"Hi Cheryl, how are you feeling?"

Cheryl
"Hi Veronica, I'm feeling a lot better. Thanks to you, Archie and TT."

Veronica
"How is TT?" Her voice darkened.

Cheryl
"I don't know, she still hasn't awaken. Could you please do me a favour? I asked.

Veronica
"Of course Cheryl, what do you need?"

Cheryl
"Could you please go to thistle house and grab my overnight bag and toiletries, I couldn't bear to leave TTs side."

Veronica
"Okay I will be over shortly."

I hang up, laying next to Toni staring at her, wanting to kiss her, wanting to have her back. I laid still staring at her perfect face for what felt like the longest time.

I hear a knock on the door.

"Come in," i said as I sat up in the bed.

In walked Veronica and Archie, who's arm was in a cast.

"Hey Cheryl," Veronica said holding my bag up.

"Thank you," I said offering them both a small saddened smile," you both saved my life. I had lost hope and did something very stupid but, you all saved me." As I looked to Toni as well. "I am for ever grateful."

"We are just glad that you are alright Cheryl," Veronica said as she moved to embrace me.

"I'm okay now, I saw JJ underneath the water. He told me to fight for my life and that something I plan to fufill." I said as a single tear cascaded down my face.
