From Different Worlds

Chapter 37

"Mom?" Cheryl asked, walking into her house. "Mom?"

"In here, sweetie!" Jaime calls from her bedroom. Cheryl walks in there, and plops on the bed.

"Toni's making me run for prom queen with her." She huffed.

"Really?!"

"And I really don't want to, but she really wants me too, so now I'm stuck."

"Well... I think it's great you guys are running. I mean from what I've heard and when I was there, Riverdale High has never had gay prom queens." Jaime smiled.

"So I should run for prom queen?"

"Yes! I'm so excited!"

Toni was sitting on her bed, catching up on her homework, when someone walks in her room. "Get the fuck out of my house before I call the police for trespassing."

"So I'm not aloud to see my daughter?" Violet asked.

"No. Now get out."

"I need to tell you something..." She smirked. "I heard your seeing that Blossom girl."

"She's adopted so you can take her parents license, I don't care."

"I just wanted you know that they killed her brother..."

"Jason is fine...you can leave now."

"No, they had another brother. A triplet."

"For some reason I don't believe you."

"Fine. I'll be out of your hair..."

Toni went straight away to calling Cheryl to ask about the "triplet" to see if it was true...

"Mom, Dad..." Cheryl went into the dinning room, where her parents are.

"Hey, sweetie." Jeshua smiled. "What do you need?"

"Toni, just called me. She said her mother said I had a triplet, and you guys....killed him."

Jaime, and Jeshua stopped.

"Okay...We have some explaining to do, but Jason needs to be here too." Jaime sighed.

Once, they were all in the living room, Jeshua began.

"Julian. Julian was your brother's name..." He paused. "This was the first time you all went to foster care, and they separated all of you. Cheryl you were with a family in Greendale, Jason was with another family in Riverdale, and Julian was with us."

"All of you were like not even one yet..." Jaime added.

"Yeah...so since it had been like two years, your parents were no where to be found, everyone thought they were dead, we were trying to adopt him. Then we were informed that he has siblings, he was triplet. So, a few days we were going to meet you...Julian was taking a bath, and I had left to get him a towel. It was two minutes tops...I heard a loud bang, and ran in there." Jeshua paused. "He had hit his head on the side of the tub, must of slipped, and he passed out, and landed in the water. I called 911 and they tried to save him, but he didn't make it..."

"We stopped doing foster care after that..." Jaime sighed. "But we decided to do it again, three years ago. You guys were our first placement."

Jason, and Cheryl stayed quiet. They didn't know how to react to this. "So all the stuff that we found in the basement that was..." Cheryl trailed off.

"Your brother's." Jeshua stated.

"I'm gonna go..." Cheryl walked to her room, and shut the door.

She had a triplet? She was supposed to get adopted all those years ago? So many thoughts were running through her head. She wasn't mad at the Reager's. Like, yes they could of told her sooner, but the past is the past.

"Cheryl, get up. It's time for school." Jeshua said as he entered the room.

"Can I skip today?" She groaned. "I haven't missed a day in like...two years."

"Nope. You only have a few more weeks...c'mon, I made breakfast."

"Please..."

"Let me talk to your mom." He walked out of the room, and came back a few minutes later. Jaime came in as well with a phone in her hand. She handed it to Cheryl, and she sighed, knowing who it was. "Hello?"

"Hey, princess."

"Hi." Cheryl grumbled.

"What's wrong?"

"Everything. I'm tired, and mad, and I don't want to go to school, and deal with the assholes."

"But I don't want to be alone..."

"I'm sure Veronica and Betty would be there, and like the cheer squad."

"Please?"

"No."

"I tried...Anyways, I have to get going. I love you."

"Love you." Cheryl hung up, and handed the phone back to her parents. "I'm not going."

"Worth a shot." Jaime sighed, and walked out of the room.

About two hours later, Jeshua walked in, and Cheryl was asleep. He walked in and sat beside her on the bed. "Cher..."

Cheryl just groaned, and rolled over.

"Cheryl."

"I feel like shit."

"How so?"

"Like my sto-" Cheryl gagged and ran to the bathroom.

Jeshua sighed, and went to get Jaime.

"Cheryl, I need to check your temperature." Jaime said walking into the bedroom. Cheryl was laying in her bed, wearing a gold, and blue hoodie. It had a Riverdale Cheer logo on the front, and on the back it said Topaz. Jaime sat next to her on the bed, "put this under your tongue."

She did, and waited for it to beep. Once it did, she checked it. "Fuck."

Jaime looked at it, she had a temperature of 102.3 degrees. "I'm gonna take you to the doctors, c'mon."

Cheryl groaned, and followed Jaime out the door.

Toni went to Cheryl's house straight after school. She was worried, Cheryl hasn't called or texted her all day. She knocked on the door, and Jaime answered. "Oh, hey Toni." Jaime smiled. "What are you doing here?"

"Cheryl hasn't called or texted me all day, and I'm worried."

"She has the flu, so you can't see her."

"What?! I need to see her then. She's my girlfriend I need to take care of her." Toni sighed. "Please I wont be long. Not even five minutes."

"If you get sick..." Jaime shook her head, and stepped aside. Toni basically ran to Cheryl's room.

She walked in, and saw Cheryl asleep in her hoodie. She smiled to herself. She walked over to Cheryl, and kissed her on the head, "goodnight, princess." She whispered. Then she walked back out.
