No one's pov:
"Cher I really have to go or I'll be late" Toni's says to her girlfriend as she tries to leave for work.
Cheryl shakes her head "no" and keeps hanging onto Toni's arm.
"Baby I really have too, I'm sorry"
Cheryl sighed, letting go of her arm and sitting back against the bed headboard, rocking back and forth a bit and staring at the TV.
"Do you want to watch tv cher?"
Cheryl didn't say anything, just kept looking at the TV. Toni has been with Cheryl long enough to know that she's better with body language rather than verbal. She grabbed the remote from the bedside table and turned to netflix. After she put Cheryl's favorite show on she turned to the other girl.
"I love you and I'll only be gone a few hours" she slowly bent down on the bed and softly kissed Cheryl on her forehead, causing the redhead to smile big.
Cheryl waved a goodbye to her girlfriend then went back to watching the television.

Couple hours later
When Cheryl got bored of watching TV or zoning out, she got out of bed and walked to the kitchen. Toni usually makes her lunch on her day off but when she works, she puts a lunch bag in the fridge for her.
Cheryl walked to the fridge and opened, feeling confused when she didn't see the usual brown paper bag in there with her name on it and a drawn on heart with a small simple note. She tried looking around a little but still couldn't find it.
She turned around to the stove and got an idea. Usually Toni would tell her not to use the stove while she's gone...but Toni wasn't there and Cheryl didn't think it could be that hard, right?
She decided on a simple grilled cheese, of course she didn't really know how to make one by herself but she wanted to try.
Cheryl's only nineteen. She moved out when she was eighteen, with Toni and has been living in the trailer with her ever since. Her parents were never the most patient with her, causing her to feel bad about herself. Causing her to feel helpless and like she couldn't do anything by herself. But Toni never gave up on her. Toni showed her and taught her new things, things her parents never bothered to show her.
She took a deep breath before walking up to the stove and flipping the switches on. She took out the bread and cheese, then looked around for a pan. She looked up and realized the pans were hanging above the stove. She reached up to get a pan, but she wasn't tall enough. She then tried to get up on the stove to get it, forgetting she had already turned on the stove.
"Ow!" She screamed.
She had placed her hand right on the burner. Wincing, she quickly turned the stove off and ran to the couch, collapsing on it, sobbing her eyes out. She didn't know what to do so she got up and grabbed the home phone. She had Toni's number memorized, it's something she liked to do when she was bored, think about all things Toni.
