From Different Worlds

Chapter 19

⚠️TW⚠️ talk about sexual abuse

Cheryl was on her way to school, and something about the day just felt off. She had this weird feeling in her stomach, but she just thought it was nothing. She got to school, and waited for Toni, at her locker like she did every morning. She saw Toni walking and got really excited, but who she saw standing next to her made her furious. Toni came up to her locker, "hey Cher."

"W-Who was that girl walking with you?" Cheryl asked.

"Oh, her names Heather she's really cool."

"Toni you need to stay away from her." Cheryl's eyes brimmed with tears. "That's my ex." She whispered.

"Oh my god, Cheryl I am so sorry. I'll stay away." Toni sighed. "But, can I ask...what happened, like besides the cigarette thing...you don't have to if you don't want to."

"Not here. Maybe at my trailer."

The bell rang, and they headed to class. Cheryl actually started to go to a different english class, and was no longer failing english.

The it was soon lunch time, and Toni was sitting with Cheryl, Betty, and Veronica. Then Sweet Pea came around. "Hey Toni can I talk to you?"

"Yeah sure Sweets. I'll be right back." She walked away with Sweet Pea into an empty classroom. "What's up?"

"How come your hanging around Blossom all of a sudden?"

"Sweets can I tell you something?" Toni asked. Sweet Pea nodded for her to go on. "I'm...bisexual. And Cheryl is my girlfriend." She looked around awkwardly.

"Good, to know. I support you 100 percent Tiny." Sweet Pea hugged Toni.

Toni just sighed in relief.

Meanwhile at the lunch table...

"Guys..." Cheryl said nervously. Betty and Veronica weren't to fond of Heather. The last time they saw her was when...

Flash Back

"Are you ever gonna hang out with those losers again?" Heather asked.

Cheryl was crying uncontrollably, as she was tied up with rope, and was just beat with a belt, bleeding in different area's, and her whole body was throbbing.

Heather slapped her across the face. "Answer!" She yelled.

"N-No, n-never a-again." Cheryl sobbed.

"Even though I hurt you sometimes I still love you. You know that right?" Heather wiped Cheryl's tears away. "And plus, if you never hung out with them in the first place, we wouldn't be here. But, I do love you still."

Cheryl didn't answer. She wanted to love her, I mean she did at first, but then Heather started to get emotionally, physically, and sexually abusive.

"Here, let me prove it to you..." Heather began to slide off Cheryl's underwear.

"N-No! P-Please. I-I love y-you!"

"I know you want this." Heather whispered in her ear as she began.

Cheryl sobbed. She was screaming, begging Heather to stop, but she wouldn't. Then Veronica and Betty burst through the door. "GET OFF OF HER!" Veronica yelled.

Betty went to untie Cheryl, and Veronica was beating Heather's ass.

From then on Cheryl locked everyone out. Never being that vulnerable to anyone again. Until she finally began to talk about her problems with someone. That really helped her.
