Climbing Out Pt. 4

This is the last part of Climbing Out and you guys will definitely enjoy it.

Monday morning Cheryl woke up on the floor of her bedroom. Her head was pounding and her throat was sore. She went to move and find her phone to see what time it was, hoping she wasn't late for school. But when she went to move, she was stopped by her hands being tied to the bed leg. What the fuck?

She sat there for a minute, trying to remember how she ended up that way when it finally dawned on her. Her mother had smacked her and then hit her head on the wall, causing her to apparently black out. How could she possibly get out of this? Her mother had really gone off the deep end.

Cheryl wasn't sure how long she had been awake or what time it was when she realized that no one would think to check up on her. Her friends and Toni were all at school. The Serpent had probably texted her when she got home, but Cheryl wasn't able to answer it and Toni still hadn't stopped by. Had she tried to contact Cheryl since then? Did Toni even care?

Toni's POV

Toni had arrived at school Monday morning. She parked her bike next to Fangs and Sweet Pea as she looked around for Cheryl's bright red car that couldn't possibly be missed. "Have you heard from Red yet?" Fangs asked.

"No, not since last night. I text her saying I had made it back home after dropping her off and she said she was going to bed. But nothing since."

"Maybe she's just running late?" Sweet Pea suggested. "I can ask Ronnie if she's heard from her."

"Maybe. Thanks, Pea."

Toni went to her class, but she wasn't able to pay attention, even if she tried. She kept glancing at her phone whenever the teacher turned their back, still finding her texts going unread. She decided to send another one.

Toni: Good morning, babe. Can't wait to see you at school. Thought we could meet up in the parking lot before class.

Toni: I'm at school. I don't see your car anywhere. Hoping you're ok.

Toni: Cheryl, I've tried calling you and texting. Please tell me you're ok. Please text me back.

A few more hours went by and Toni still hadn't heard from her girlfriend. It was now lunch time and she walked over to Sweet Pea and Fangs who were sitting at a table with Veronica, Kevin, Josie, Betty and a fellow Serpent named Jules. "Guys, I still haven't heard from Cheryl. I'm thinking about bailing and going to her house."

"What do you mean?" Josie asked. "Is she okay?" Toni suddenly realized that Josie and Betty didn't know what went down at the Blossom household. She filled them in on everything that happened over the weekend.

"What the fuck? What are you still doing here, Toni? Go get your girl." Betty told her.

"I'm coming with you." Sweet Pea chimed in.

"Me too, T." Fangs added.

"If you guys go, I'm going, too. I can call my dad if needed." Kevin told them.

"We'll stay here and cover for you guys." Veronica said.

Toni, Sweet Pea, Fangs and Kevin suddenly stood from the table, throwing away the rest of their lunches. They all got onto their individual bikes, with Kevin on Fangs' and drove to Cheryl's house, Toni leading the group.

They were at the house within ten minutes as they quickly sped down the streets of Riverdale. The bikes rumbled to a stop and everyone took off their helmets, dismounting the bikes. "Kev, you've been to Cheryl's house before, right? Do you know where her room is?"
