You are the reason.

Hi readers this is my new story its based upon Toni's past. It will be based after 2x22 so Cheryl is now a serpent and Toni lives with Cheryl and Nanna Rose. Will be AU, What happens when past collides with present for Toni Read to find out more.

So we don't know much about Toni's past and this is my take on it.

TRIGGER WARNING: Abuse will be in this Italics will be in flashbacks/Nightmares

Toni's POV.

I had just lost a fight and my uncle had big bucks on me winning. This was illegal and my uncle is in the serpents, although they don't know what he does with me.

I was packing my stuff before he gets back ready to move away and go to the caravan park where Fangs and Sweet Pea live. One of them were letting me stay with them.

I didn't have much to pack just some of my belongings, clothes, makeup, toiletries, and necessities I needed. I am shaking with fear knowing if I stayed, there would be hell to pay for with him, and I have had enough of it.

I hear a door slam shut and I look out my window and see that it isn't Fangs or Sweet Pea- it's my uncle. I send an SOS to both of them. They would understand that I needed help.

I quickly put everything into my bag and silently head for the back door. I quietly close it and little did I know that he would be coming in from the back. I nearly run into him.

"You little shit cost me some money for that fight." I'm paralyzed in fear because I knew what was going to happen next.

I try to side step him, but he goes the same way I do.

SMACK! The sting of a slap across the face made me crash into the back door. I quickly get up. I knew how to fight from my uncle, Fangs and Sweet Pea.

I don't expect the punch to the gut which knocks me down, and I can't catch my breath. I try to block the blows that are coming my way with my arms and go into the fetal position.

He grabs my arm and pulls me into the kitchen area so nobody can see what's going on.

I'm not prepared for the pain that is to come with my Uncle's knife he carries around, which he cuts from my stomach to almost around my back.

I black out from the pain and the next thing I know I wake up in hospital with Fangs, Sweet Pea, his dad, and FP.

I wake up with a start and can feel the sweat dripping from my forehead. It takes a while for my breathing to come back to normal. I look over at Cheryl who is sound asleep next to me. I've been very secretive, and haven't told Cheryl about my past or what I used to do.

I get out of bed, grab some fresh clothes, and head in for a shower to calm down.

I turn the shower on boiling hot and wait. I get my temperature right and jump in.

I start by wetting my hair. I'm grateful for my long hair, as it hides most of my scars on my back where no one can see it.

I lather up Cheryl's shampoo, which smells like Vanilla, and I rub it into my hair, instantly relaxing with the smell of her shampoo. I rinse that off and use conditioner. I start to wash my body, going over some scars I have here and there.

I rinse my body off, then rinse the conditioner out and stand in there for about 10 minutes enjoying the heat. I turn off the shower I wrap my towel around my body and then wrap my hair up with my other towel.

While brushing my teeth, I don't hear Cheryl come in until I hear her gasp. I freeze like a deer in headlights, as this is the first time she has seen any of scars- let alone my body naked.

I feel her hand lightly trace the one on my shoulder. I tense under her touch, not because I'm afraid, but because she is seeing me vulnerable for the first time.

I turn around and she wraps me into her warm embrace which I return.

"What happened to you, Toni?" I don't say anything, and we continue to enjoy our little cuddle session.

"My past, Cher." I whisper to her. She just nods her head in understanding and we pull apart.

She grabs the towel off my head, and then grabs a brush and runs it through my hair. Cheryl then grabs her blow dryer and starts to dry my hair. I close my eyes enjoying the massage and the heat coming from the dryer.

Before I know it, she's finished drying my hair. I feel her kiss my cheek.

"I'm going back to bed, Toni. When your done getting dressed come talk to me and snuggle." I nod my head and she leaves closing the door after her.

I dry off my body and get dressed. After that, I give my hair another quick brush and head into our room where Cheryl is. She opens her arms and I get into bed and snuggle into her. She wraps her arms around me and I wrap mine around her.

"Nothing will change. You're still the same strong and caring Toni Topaz that I love a lot." She kisses the top of my head I smile, even though she can't see it.

"Thanks Cher. I love you always and forever." I get my head comfortable and fall asleep, snuggling the one true person I love.
