194: The One Where Cheryl Takes Care of Toni

CHERYL POV:

I walk into Toni's trailer. I go into the kitchen and noticed that she started to make coffee but clearly walked away to make toast, than got distracted by something else. I finish making the coffee and push down the lever on the toaster for Toni. I grab the butter and wait for the toast to finish. Once it's done I put the butter on it and walk into Toni's room. "You left the coffee half made and you didn't actually push down the lever for the toast you wanted to make." I explain to her. She looks at me. "Shit! I usually make coffee in the morning first but I forgot to so I went to do that, than I remembered you were coming over so I had to jump into the shower, because I smelled gross. Than I realized I meant to wash my towel than I started putting a load of laundry together and than thought it would be a good idea to organize my closet and than you came in." She explains probably not taking a breath the whole time. "How about we go sit down and eat breakfast before you go jump into the shower, I'll put everything back in your closet and when you're done we'll get some clothes through the wash. Ok?" She nods. "Also what did I tell you about ripping apart your closet for no reason other than to reorganize it even if it's fine?" I ask as we walk into the kitchen. "Write it down and see if it's still a good idea later." I nod. She sits down, I get her some coffee and put the toast in front of her. "Also next time eat before you act impulsively." I look at her. She nods not saying anything. She just eats her breakfast and gets into the shower. I organize her closet and wait for her. "You ok?" I ask as she comes into the room. "You're not my mom." She says slightly pissed. I look down. "I'm sorry, I'm just stressed and you're kinda micromanaging me." She says quietly. "I'm guessing you don't want to be reminded that you have work in 10 minutes than." She looks at the clock. "Shit!" She says grabbing her bag and running out. I sigh and grab her keys. She runs back in and I give them to her. "Thanks." I nod.

Toni walks into the kitchen. "Do either of you know where I put my phone?" She ask me freaking out. "Check the bathroom." She walks into the bathroom. I look at Veronica. "Found it!" Toni calls out. I nod. "She does this everyday." I whisper. She walks over to me. "You ok?" I ask quietly. "Yeah." She nods. "You're supposed to be walking out the door to pick Sweet Pea up from the airport right now." I tell her. She thinks for a second. "Every time!" She runs out the door. I grab her keys. She runs back in. I nod. She kisses me. "I love you."
I smile. "I love you too, don't get sidetracked." She nods leaving. "That's the first time you guys said that isn't it?" Veronica ask quietly. I nod. "Yeah." I say sitting down in front of her. "Why does she always forget her keys?" She ask quietly. "She has memory problems! Sometimes she forgets I'm here and I startle her." I explain. "She also probably has the stereotype of what people think people with ADHD are when in reality she starts to do something like make coffee and goes to grab a mug or something and forgets on the way there and moves on." I say quietly. "Do you really trust her to drive to the airport and pick Sweet Pea up?" She ask quietly. "Yeah! She does it all the time and I wrote it down on her hand so she has to remember."

Toni walks into the trailer. "How was it?" I ask quietly. She jumps a little. "Fine." She says quietly. She sits down on the couch. "Why are you still here?" She ask quietly. "Because I wanted to make sure you got back in one piece." I say quietly. She nods. "Can you stay tonight?" She ask. I pull her into a kiss. "Of course."
