Aged Six

The sleepovers had been happening as long as you could remember, but being only six that wasn't very long. Thistle House scares you, the big windows, ever growing vines and dark hallways that never seem to end. But there were two room that you felt oh so incredibly safe inside, the twin's rooms. With Cheryl having just moved out of their once shared room, where Jason's bed was stationed seems empty and bare, but as time moves on little gifts and presents, and along with the constantly increasing number of your belongings left there makes it homier.

Both rooms were identical, back to back and set up as mirror opposites, the main difference however was the mattress placed beside Cheryl's bed, it is always there, blankets piled at the end in summer and layered like a mountain in winter.

"Cherry!" You call out through the long halls, listening out for any response, and hearing a small giggle softly only a short distance away. Tip toeing as silently as you could, approaching the curl of red sticking out from one of the elegantly drapped satin curtains. "Found you~" you sing, giving a miniscule tug to the strands. Before Cheryl could react, quick footsteps were racing towards you.

"Cheryl, Y/N, Mum says it's time to go to bed." You glace at each other before ducking off to get ready for bed, carefully avoiding the room were Mr and Mrs Blossom are sat around a table with other, suit wearing men and women.

Clad in pajamas and teeth brushed, you curl under the soft blankets, staring up at the ceiling of Thistle House, wondering just what your best friends parents do that she got so lucky. So lucky her family lets her have friends over, lets Cheryl have you over. Everyone knows the Blossoms hate anyone from the wrong side of the tracks.

Age Fourteen

The sleepovers were scarcer now. Going to the same school was fun, and sharing classes was great, but you know it isn't going to last forever. That why you start meeting up with some other South Siders, Toni Topaz is your new after school friend, as Cheryl's parents only let you over once a month, and make absolute certain that nobody sees you arrive from across town. Not like they don't know anyway.

"Y/N/N, you okay? You're getting lost in your head again." Cheryl sits with you between her legs, combs her fingers through your hair, every time they snag she makes sure to go over again and again until the hair in shiny and tangle free.

"I'm fine, Cherry, just scared." You feel Cheryl's hand freeze, before continuing, her spare hand coming to rub your shoulder and neck, having you relax softly into her.

"Of?" You tug your lower lip between your teeth, heart beginning to rush, wondering where you should share your burden with your best friend. Obviously you cave.

"I heard my parents talking the other night, Cherry, the moneys running out." Closing your eyes tightly, feeling the small tear leave a trail down your cheek, you continue. "I won't be able to stay at Riverdale much longer, I'm going to start South Side High next year, it's the only place we can afford."

Without a hitch, Cheryl moves from behind you, her fiery locks are thrown over her shoulder with the flick of her wrist, before she places a hand on your shoulder, caressing the skin there.

"You not going to leave me, are you?" Your voice broke to a whisper, a second tear ran across your cheek, "I couldn't handle that from you, please don't become like all the others." With your lip quivering you bring your eyes to lock with Cheryl's, fear meeting with sorrow.

"I would never, Y/N/N, I love you, remember?" A smile forms across you face, wiping the tear from your chin, you let a small, relieved chuckle fall from your lips.
