Cheryl POV

Rejection. From the person, I love most. I thought she loved me too. I should have seen it coming; nothing ever good works out of me. I knew deep down I was going to die alone, and this just proved it.

**Flashback**

We stood at the top of the cliff overlooking Sweetwater river. I brought up a little picnic for us to eat while watching the sunset; Toni has been acting a little... distant; this is just what we need, right?

"Cheryl, what are we doing up here?" Toni says coldly; I got down on my knees, looked at her, and pulled out the ring box I had hidden in my desk drawer for the past few months.

"Toni, we have been together for years; I love you. I want you in my life forever. You're my everything. Even if we can't get married, I want to be girlfriends forever till I die. Will you marry me?" I asked, staring back at her in awe; her face dropped as tears started to fill her eyes.

"No," With that one word, I felt my heart shatter; I closed the velvet box and stood up, tears spilling out of my eyes, "Cher, I'm sorry I can't get married to you," Toni said, looking down at the ground.

"Why, don't you love me?" I questioned, looking at her; she just stood still and looked up at me after what felt like an hour of waiting.

"I'm sorry, Cheryl, I can't- I don't love you," Toni whispers. She turned around and began to walk.

"So that's it? You are just going to leave? Just like that? You told me you love me," I yelled, chasing her, "We are supposed to be together. You promised me." I cried

"Oh please, haven't you noticed I've been more distant? Cheryl, I don't love you anymore. Get it into your head. We are over. There is no us anymore. Who are we even kidding? We aren't endgame we aren't soulmates; we are the total opposites-"

"That found each other."

"Yeah, well, we shouldn't have. We would and will never work. You know that. I know that. Do yourself and me a favour and stay away from me. For good," she spat; she walked away, not even looking back.

**End of flashback**

Just like that, it was over.

 It's been three months, seventeen days, three hours and thirteen minutes since she broke me. 

I never did text her or anything. She still lives in Riverdale, ruling the serpents; I had to leave town last month for Blossom business. 

But I knew how Bella felt in "New moon" when Edward left. Because that's how I felt and feel.

 I had just came back to town, and all I wanted was a strawberry milkshake. I walked into the Diner and took my new usual booth, the one in the very back; I stared at the booth two booths ahead of me, that was Toni and I's booth.

 I got up and looked underneath the table of the booth to still see our initials carved it. We had just said our first I love you and had our first time together; she insisted on going to pops to claim the booth we always went to. I couldn't handle this anymore; I got out of the booth and headed out.

"Cheryl?" I heard an all too familiar voice call out; I turned around to see a Pink haired girl in a leather coat and ripped jeans; she wore flannel underneath her coat with one of my old t-shirts sitting at the bar.

"Toni," I greeted, still heading out of Pops door

"Wait up! Can I get you a milkshake?" She asked, getting up to stop me from leaving.
