Cheryl's POV
I got out of the hospital a couple of weeks ago and I'm really insecure about my scar. Jason just shows his friends his like a battle scar.

"Hey princess," Toni said as she entered the room.

"Hey TT, what's up, how was therapy?" I smiled.

"Nothing new, just the same, I don't really like going, I don't feel like I'm depressed anymore," she sighed.

"I just want you to get better," I said, "Cuddle with me?" I pouted.

"Of course," she grinned getting into bed with me.

"I've been meaning to ask you this," I sighed.

"What?" she asked.

"Um, why didn't you heal Jason?" I asked.

"I knew this was coming," she sighed, "I tried but he moved away like he was scared of me and then I tried again but the police wanted me to put my hands up and I didn't because I really wanted to heal him but they pushed me to the ground and handcuffed me," she explained "I'm sorry Cheryl, this is all my fault," she started to cry.

"Hey, no tears this wasn't your fault any of it okay? I promise you," I said genuinely.

She nodded and slowly her cries turned into sniffles.

"I love you, TT," I said.

"I love you, too, princess," she smiled.

Then there was a knock at the bedroom door.

"Come in," I said.

Jason came in.

"Am I interrupting anything?" he asked cautiously.

"Not at all," I smiled.

He sat down on the bed.

"I first wanted to say sorry for how I treated you, Toni, it's just I missed so much of Cheryl's life and I didn't want to admit it to myself but she's growing up I'm also sorry for getting you locked up for something you didn't do. It's just Nick threatened you guys and I didn't want anything bad to happen." he divulged.

"It's okay Jason," Toni smiled.

"Yeah, but uh I need to tell you something about Nick St Clair," I sighed.

"Are you sure baby?" Toni whispered.

I nodded.

"What?" Jason asked.

"He um tried to roofie me," I started crying.

Toni and Jason both embraced me and after a while, I calmed down.

"I love you Cheryl and I'm sorry wasn't there to protect you," he sighed.

"It's okay you're here now and that's all that matters," I said ruffling his hair.

"I hope you know I'm going to kill that son of a b-" Jason started.

"You will do no such thing," I interrupted.

"I'm gonna get some air, I literally can't deal with this information," he said as he left the room.

"I'm proud of you, princess," Toni smiled.

"Me too, so now it's your turn," I said.

She shot me a confused look. I smiled and pointed at my canines. She chuckled and deployed her fangs.

"I guess you're talking about these," she chuckled.

"Yes, but I don't want you to feel rushed," I said.
