TT
Don't be mad okay?
Read 7.10pm

Cheryl jumped up showing her phone to Sweetpea, Veronica and Fangs. 'Why would I be mad' Cheryl said, her hand running through her hair. Before anyone had the chance to answer they heard Toni's motorbike pull up outside. Toni opened the door.
'WHAT THE HELL TONI' Cheryl said referring to the text message she had just opened. Before Cheryl could say another word the blonde haired nightmare had followed Toni into the trailer, she couldn't believe her eyes.
'Wow Tee you're place has barely change' she said bumping Toni's shoulder. She turned her head to make eye contact with the redhead 'Sharron I'm so glad you're alright with me and Tee remaining friends' she smiled, purposely calling her the wrong name.
'It's Cheryl' the redhead replied rolling her eyes, irritated by the nickname Winter was using to address her girlfriend 'and I have no problem with it, TT and I fully trust each other'.
'I'm sure you do' Winter smirked 'so what are you guys up to?'.
'Nothing much' Veronica stood up from the couch. The tension in the trailer was running high and Toni needed to defuse it now before it got out of hand.
'Toni can I use your bathroom?' Winter asked.
'Erm yeah it's right down the ha..' 'I know where it is Tee' Winter smirked turning around towards the bathroom.
'Are you out of your mind' Veronica stepped towards Toni when Winter was out of site.
'Look, she asked to come what was I suppose to say?' Toni said looking at Veronica.
'Erm I don't know, maybe something along the lines of no or my girlfriend would be uncomfortable in her own home' Veronica said quietly enough that Winter wouldn't hear.
Cheryl didn't like that her girlfriend and best friend were arguing but it was nice that her friend didn't think she was overreacting 'guys let's not do this while she's here okay'.

Winter walked back into the living room, knowing she had made a scene, she placed her hand on Toni's shoulder 'I'm sorry Tee, I suddenly don't feel well, could you give me a ride home'.
'Erm sure I'll be right back guys' she kissed Cheryl on the cheek but she was as still as stone.
'Nice to see you all, especially you Cheryl' Winter said with a fake smile. As they heard the motorcycle start Cheryl deflated.

'Is this some kind of joke?' Veronica said looking at the boys, they had stayed quiet throughout the whole thing.
'She actually gave her a ride here, I can't believe her' Cheryl said a tear rolling down her cheek, she quickly wiped it away.
'Listen Red' Fangs spoke up his arm on Cheryl's shoulder 'Tiny loves you okay? But she never sees Winters true intentions, she never has, especially when they was a thing. Even we couldn't get through to her at the time, Toni always made excuses not to hang out with us but we knew it was down to Winter, she wanted Toni all to herself all of the time, you need to watch that girl Cheryl she's toxic'.
'What does that even mean? I told Toni it was okay for them to be friends, I can't blame her'.
'Cheryl she could have asked you first, putting you in this position was not okay' Veronica pulled Cheryl in for a hug.
'We're gonna leave you guys to talk it out' Sweetpea said pulling Fangs up with him. 'Yeah see you later Red' Fangs hugged Cheryl before they left.

On the other side of town Toni had just pulled over to help Winter off of her bike.
'Thanks for a good evening Tee' Winter smiled placing her hand on Toni's arm.
'Yeah no problem' Toni said with a small smile as she hopped on her bike starting it up before she made her way home. Toni knew she had made a mistake by bringing Winter to her trailer but it was too late now she had to go home and face the consequences.

Cheryl was sat on the couch with Veronica, she was silent, she didn't know what to say and neither did Veronica. Cheryl was always so confident but she was always a little more timid with Toni, she didn't want Toni seeing her like everyone else did, a loveless, deviant monster as her parents would say. When Cheryl heard the motorcycle pull up outside she jumped up and ran to the bathroom mumbling about how she couldn't deal with this. Veronicas heart ached for her and she was about to give Toni a piece of her mind.

'Where's Cheryl and the boys?' Toni asked looking at Veronica.
'Fangs and Sweetpea left and Cheryl is in the bathroom probably doubting your intentions with your ex after the stunt you just pulled'. Veronica was angry at Toni's clueless behaviour.
'What? Cheryl said she was fine with us being friends' Toni stood up for herself.
'Yes Toni for your sake, she loves you you idiot, she'd do anything for you but that doesn't mean you can bring that bimbo here to flirt with you in front of her face. If it would have been me I'd have smacked that smirk straight off of her face and believe me it was only because of you Cheryl didnt'.
'Don't be ridiculous V and she was just being friendly to both me and Cheryl'.
'Toni she didn't even say Cheryl's name right, she's trying to come between you and it's working. You better watch it Toni before you lose Cheryl. I'm gonna go check on her, maybe she'll want to spend a few days with me'.
Toni just stood there 'fuck' she said kicking her coffee table.

Toni felt like she had waited forever to hear the bathroom door open. Disappointedly it was Veronica who stepped out 'you're lucky, she wants to stay here with you but you better make it right Topaz. I love ya girl but you are so blind sometimes and I don't want Cheryl getting hurt'.
'I'd never hurt her' Toni said a tear in her eye threatening to fall.
'You already did' Veronica said opening the door and leaving the trailer.

Toni looked down at the ground and took a deep breath before knocking on the bathroom door.
