The next morning

Thistlehouse

Cheryl's POV

I really hoped Toni would come home today. I still didn't fully understand why she went to Greendale. I was really scared the last time someone I loved went to Greendale they came back with a bullet hole in their head. My hands started sweating and I started shaking, a panic attack was coming. I managed to dial Betty's number before fully spiralling.

"Cheryl, what's up?" she asked cheerfully.

"H-h-help, p-panic, a-at home" was all I managed to croak out.

"I'll be there soon," she replied.

10 minutes later

"Cheryl?" Betty called from downstairs.

"B-bedroom," I croaked.

Betty came in and sat down next to me.

"Copy my breathing," she said, taking a deep breath.

After about 5 minutes I calmed down.

"Cheryl, what's going on with you?" Betty asked.

"I um was thinking ab-about Toni being in Greendale after what happened to Jay Jay," I replied.

"Cheryl, Toni will be fine she can take care of herself no need to worry alright?" she asked.

"Okay, I'll give her a call now then," I replied.

"Do you want me to stay?" she asked.

"Um yeah can you wait and then me you and Veronica can go to Pop's," I answered.

"Okay I'll text V then," she said.

"Cool," I said.

I picked up my phone and dialled Toni.

"Hey TT," I said

"Hey Cher what's up?" she asked.

"Nothing, um when are you coming home I need you," I choked.

"Um probably tonight, babe are you okay?" Toni asked, voice full of worry.

"I'm fine," I lied.

"Alright, I'll hopefully see you tonight but don't wait up," she said.

"Okay, I love you," I smiled.

"Love you more, bye," she said.

"Bye," I replied.

I hung up and got up, got changed, went downstairs and hopped into Betty's car and we drove off to Pop's.

Toni's POV

Cheryl hung up and I could tell that something was definitely up, but if she didn't want to tell me there was a reason maybe she wanted to tell me in person.

"Toni?" Ambrose called.

"Yeah?" I answered.

"It's ready!" he yelled.

He came around the corner with the ring in was beautiful. I was going to play it off as a promise ring, well it is a promise ring but it's also a protection ring and I can't tell her that not yet anyway.
