Whatever it Takes

Cheryl apologizes to Toni for the way she treated her in 3x16 and sees their fight/break up from Toni's perspective. Based off the song "Whatever it Takes" by Lifehouse.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: Does no one else realize how toxic it was for Cheryl to not even acknowledge her behavior (never mind her not apologizing to Toni) or how wrong it was for her to be made to look like the victim when she was (partially) to blame for Toni losing the Serpents? Like Toni lost her family and then gets dumped, kicked out and bullied by Cheryl JUST for wanting to spend some time with her new "family", but somehow Toni's the bad guy? Get the fuck out of here. Cheryl BULLIED Toni throughout 3x16 and yet I saw so many people actually cheering her on and defending her behavior; it's like no one seemed to care at all how any of that made Toni feel. I get that Cheryl has problems, like we all get that, but I feel like if this were Toni in Cheryl's place, then the fandom wouldn't be as understanding and forgiving. Like if Toni had pushed Cheryl, she would've been cancelled right then and there. But since Toni was the one who got pushed, no one gives a fuck and it's "just Cheryl being Cheryl". Like I honestly don't get how any (so-called) Toni fans were happy with 3x16. I just REALLY hated that episode because of the way Toni was treated and how Choni's angst/fight was "resolved"; it was to the point where I wasn't even happy that they got back together. Anyway, this is me attempting to "fix" that. Also, I don't care if it happened in the real "Heathers"; in this fic, that almost threesome didn't happen. Toni getting dumped (and bullied) by her girlfriend and the immediate reaction was her having a threesome, enforced a very bad and false stereotype for bisexuals. Like do the writers not realize that Toni being bisexual doesn't mean that she wants to have sex with a guy and a girl at the same time?
