This Is What A Broken Heart Feels Like

Chapter Twenty Two: I Will Not Bow

Toni's POV:

I pulled up to the park as Moana parked near the housing. She found a house that I knew and parked in the driveway, turning her lights off. I had an earpiece in so she could talk to me when needed. 

I felt my phone vibrate, 'I see you A.' I looked around and found them by the slide. I walked over and they faced me. "What do you want?" I asked. They were still in the dark part of the park. I was in the glow of the street light. I stand back as they stepped closer. Getting a little nervous, I put my hand behind my back and gripped my gun in case this person tries to jump me. 

"Hello Toni. Long time no see. I see you've healed well." The unknown person said. I knew that voice tho. It was so familiar. They were in the light now and removed their hood. Fuck my life. "Theo." I said. "Yes correct but you see we're siblings. You took my place in the family. You became the priced child and now you're an all star football player. How's it feel to know that you stole my life?" He said, stepping closer to me. "I didn't steal your life Theo. I had no idea you exist as my brother until recently. You have no idea how much I would give for you to have lived in that house like I did. I understand that it hurts that our parents discarded but kept me. I'm truly sorry they did that to you but that's not my fault. I wasn't even alive yet. The only people you can blame are our parents and they're dead. I had nothing to do with you being sent away." I told him. I really did feel sorry for him. 

"You know Toni. You killed the wrong person. It wasn't our uncle who killed your beloved Cheryl, it was me. I did it. You stole my life so I stole your love. Remember in middle school when we were best friends? You left me for Sweet pea, Fangs and Jughead. You abandoned me just like our parents did. I just wanted my family but you people never wanted me. You took everything from me. Rather you know it or not, it's your fault that's why I tried to take you out." He told me and my anger was at a peak. I could hear the girls telling me to keep me cool. I grabbed the ear piece and threw it on the ground. I couldn't hear them anymore but they could still hear me. 

It was silent for awhile when he reached behind his back and started to pull his gun. I was a little quicker and aimed it, holding him in my sights. "Theo don't make me do this. I will if you push me. I didn't take your life and it's not my fault. I had no control over the decisions our parents made ok? Do you even know the hell I went through before they died? No because you were off being treated like the model son with my uncle. You know I killed him on purpose. I hated his guts. I'm glad I did. You may have took my love but I took your only family. So who really won this? Mmm I guess you didn't think this through." I told him and he was fuming. 

Veronica's POV: 

I was watching everything play out and I could hear everything that they were saying. I learned a lot of things I didn't know before. They were best friends in middle school, he knew everything about her. I have no idea why Toni is saying all of these things to provoke him. She's trying to get him to fight her but I don't know why. 

They continued going back and forth, taking dig after dig at each other. What Toni said next made every single one of us in the car stop breathing. 

"Let's settle this like men. Drop your gun, I'll drop mine. Old school fighting. That is if you aren't scared that your sister will beat you." Toni pushed and Theo did it. 

We watched as he dropped his gun and we heard Toni dropped hers. The fight started and we jumped out of the car. They were going blow for blow. This wasn't going to end well. 

Hanna's POV: 

We watched as Toni and Theo fought. They were insync. It was like they were linked. Theo took a cheap shot at Toni's ribs and she fell to her knees. Theo wasted no time and drove his knee into her face. She fell back and he got on top of her. Punches rained down on Toni. Veronica went to go over and help but we held her back. No one else needed to get hurt and It wasn't our fight.
