From Different Worlds

Chapter 44

Toni was tied to chair, not to tight, not to loose. Heather and Penny haven't hurt her at all, and have been very gentle. The only clicked the gun to scare Cheryl, but that's it. Heather doesn't want to hurt Toni because she believes that if she doesn't maybe Cheryl will give her a chance. Of course Toni had been crying, and screaming, but they didn't care. They didn't do anything about it.

Heather came strutting into the room, and Toni just narrowed her eyes at her. "Your lucky Cheryl loves you, otherwise I'd be carving you like a pumpkin." Heather sighed. "I remember when Jeremy showed us the pictures of you bleeding on your house floor, gosh that was satisfying."

"Remember when Cheryl beat your ass in front of the whole school, and you didn't even get a punch in. Gosh, that was satisfying." Toni mocked.

"Yeah, but at least I didn't get brain damage, and now have a disability."

Toni rolled her eyes. She didn't consider it a disability because she isn't disabled, and is able to work on her own. Then, the person who walked in had Toni shocked. "M-Mom?"

Violet had a ghoulies jacket on, and looked totally different. "Hey, sugarplum." Violet smiled. "I see you got yourself in a little jam."

"I'm fine, thanks." Toni narrowed her eyes.

"Can I have a moment alone with my daughter?"

"Yeah, but I was having fun bullying her." Heather huffed. Once she walked out Violet closed the door. She then walked up to Toni, and undid the ropes on her wrists.

"What are you doing?" Toni asked.

"That vent over there is open on the other side. Pry the door off, and the highway back to Riverdale should be there." Violet rushed out.

"They'll probably kill you for letting me go though." Toni looked at the vent, then back to her mother.

"I love you Toni. I always will, and don't lose Cheryl. She's a good one." Violet smiled, and kissed her daughter's forehead.

"But Mo-" They heard a loud noise.

"Go!" Violet whisper yelled.

Toni pried the door off, and climbed through the vent. She was shocked. Her mother let her go.

She nearly ran all the way to Riverdale, and to Cheryl's house on the south side, not stopping to even take a breath. She banged on the door until Jeshua answered. "Toni? I thought people were holding you for ransom?"

"No....My....Mom..." Toni stopped to take a breath between each word. She took a big deep breath before continuing. "My mom let me free."

"Cheryl's in Centerville I think. Trying to convince her birth parents to give her ten million dollars." Jeshua sighed. "We tried calling her, but no answer."

"Can I stay here and wait?"

"Yeah." Jeshua stepped aside to let her in, and she sat at the counter. She hadn't slept all night, but she didn't want to be asleep when Cheryl came home.

Jason came galloping down the stairs. "CHERYL GOT THE MO-" He stopped when he saw Toni. "I better go call Cheryl." He huffed and walked back up stairs.

"She answers his calls?" Jaime furrowed her eyebrows.

Jeshua took a seat next to Toni and looked at her. "You look tired, do you want to go up to Cheryl's room and take a nap?"

"No, I don't want to be asleep when Cheryl gets here."

"Centerville's hours away. She wont be here for a long time."

"Sweetie go take a nap." Jaime said, as she went into the kitchen to pour more coffee.

Toni huffed and went up to Cheryl's room. She laid in the bed, but it wasn't the same without Cheryl.

The brunette just laid awake. Trying to fall asleep because she was so tired, and exhausted but she couldn't.

Meanwhile on a freeway...

Cheryl was driving home, super excited to see her girlfriend, but she was tired. She hadn't slept in over 24 hours, and it was getting the best of her. She pulled over for a bit, not wanting to fall asleep on the road, when she saw bright lights coming her way.

Then it was black.
