Cheryl's pov

I'm alone. At the movies. On a Friday. My home life is a wreck and I️ don't have anyone in this world who gives any sort of a shit about me.
I️ decide to go see love simon because what better thing to do then to cry at a gay movie since your so deep in the closet yourself
I️ walk into the theater and order a cherry cola and some popcorn. Im about to walk away to grab a seat when I️ see non other then Toni walk inside
Now I️ don't like to get all attached and shit. I️ get it Toni is being nice but I️ can't risk getting attached then her feeling different. Are already feel like a moron for what I️ did with Josie.
"Let me guess. Some Cherry cola for Cheryl bombshell"
she walks up beside me. I️ don't know why she even try's to be nice I'm such a bitch to her
"Oh my god what do you want. And why do you keep stalking me"
"I'm not. I️ came to see this movie with fangs and he bailed on me"
She pauses and looks at me. She's got this thing where she seems to always know when I'm upset.
"Are you okay"
There hasn't been many times in my life when people ask me how I️ am or if I'm okay. Never mind someone asking me twice. All the feelings I've been holding back just want to rush out of my body. I've been so closed off for so long I️ just want to spill. But I️ can't. I️ can't just let down the walls. It's not that easy
"I'm alone at the movies. And I'm trying to stay away from my mother who has turned our house into her sexual playpen"
She looks at me almost shocked. I️ don't think she expected me to be that messed up
"So no. I'm really not"
"Well I️ was going to go grab a seat alone. Unless you want some company. But no pressure"
I️ smile a bit. No one ever just genially asks me to hang out or just I️ don't feel like no one ever genially means I️t.
I️ decide
I'm going to join her
