Not me posting again after not posting for months..
Im so sick of all of this."
toni tugged on her own hair and sat on the bed with a heavy sigh leaving her mouth.
Toni and Cheryl had just come back from the serpents meeting which had not gone well. Jughead over reacted about the theft of the egg and took a stand to kick out both toni and Cheryl from the southside serpents. He decided to kick out toni who was a serpent by blood and had been in the gang long before he even wanted to be in the gang.
Toni was visibly upset with Cheryl because the latter decided to pull fangs down with them in the dirt. Toni was a very loyal serpent and one of the most Honorable ones. Serpents were her family. She had no other family. Except Cheryl who had started to feel like home to toni. The gang was a constant for toni.Her serpent jacket was her armour and her shelter.
No serpent stands alone. So she thought. Nobody stood up to defend toni as she was being kicked out. Not even her own girlfriend. She was disappointed to see Cheryl stand there and not defend her girlfriend who lost her everything that night. Cheryl had not yet gotten used to the serpents ways and was not one to bend down to others will.
"Jughead was in the wrong, tonight. Not me." Cheryl argued back as she slammed the door of their shared bedroom.
Cheryl was having a tough time not being incharge of something she was a part of. She was used to getting her way everytime. It took a lot in her to stand in so many meetings while jughead sat on the serpent throne telling everybody what to do.
"He's the serpent king, Cheryl. You know you did not have to spill fangs' secret. His mom is sick. You have to understand that not everybody has the kind of money that you do."
"You know I want nothing to do with the money that cost me my brother's life. I never thought you'd bring it up like this. What has gotten into you?" Cheryl was hurt that toni would bring up the money that she hates so deeply.
"What's gotten into me? I lost my everything tonight. My family. This was the closest I would ever get to having one and it was taken away from me because you wanted to kiss the damn painting. I still can't believe I disobeyed direct orders."
Toni got up from the bed with her head in her hands and sat by the windowsill, not wanting to look at Cheryl.
"Yeah, don't look at me. Your everything? I thought i was atleast remotely important to you. I thought i was family to you. And I can't always take the blame for us. One time I don't take the blame, you can't look me in the eyes?"
Cheryl's volume increased as she started making her way closer to toni, trying to stop her from giving the redhead a silent treatment. A single tear rolled down her cheek which she wiped away quickly.
Toni said nothing and continued to look out the window, attempting to cope up with a raging headache. She did not want to continue with this argument. She knew better than to hurt Cheryl when she was down. She kept her head low, her headache getting worse.
