Choni | When Opposites Attract

*20*

Toni's Perspective 

The credits to the movie finally ended, I wish they hadn't of. Cheryl's head was placed on my shoulder and her hands around my waist. "Alright Cheryl the movies o-" I start looking over at her, only to find the redhead asleep. Instead of trying to wake her I simply smile and kiss the top of her head gently.

I skillfully got out of her grasp without stirring her and picked her up gently. I was holding her with her head in one of my arms and my other hand holding the intersection between the back of her thighs and calf. I carry her gently up the stairs up to her room. I used my sock-covered foot to open the door and used my back to push it open.

Once I set her down in bed I went to the door and closed it silently, then making my way back over to the peaceful girl. I layed down beside her and she almost immediately found my body, wrapping her arms around my waist and pulling me towards her. I smile, finding that she's doing this subconsciously is adorable. 

I tuck a piece of her dangling hair back behind her ear and kiss her temple, my arms moving from the sides of her head to her sides. Our legs tangle in each other's and I whisper, "Goodnight." Before drifting off to sleep.

Cheryl's Perspective 

I woke up, the sun beaming in my eyes, but something felt off. 

Where was Toni? 

I remember bits and pieces off her gently setting me into bed and holding me as I drifted off to sleep but as I looked over to where she would be in bed, she wasn't there. I sat up and stretched my arms over my head, yawning in the process. As I brought my hands back down I used one to run it through my hair.

I headed down the stairs in search of Toni and to be expected, there she was. She sat in a chair to the right of the stairs in the dining hall. I smile as I see her pink highlights, "Hey babe, why didn't you stay in bed?" I say rubbing my eyes as I made my way over to her.

"Don't call me babe." The words come out of her mouth emotionlessly and I stop in my tracks, only a few feet away from her chair. "What?" I ask, not sure if I heard her correctly. "You heard me Cheryl, don't call me babe, or any name like that ever again." She says coldly. I filled with confusion, this wasn't Toni, even if what she was saying was true, she'd say it with some sort of emotion.

"Did I do something wrong?" I ask, wondering if this new emotionless side of her was caused by something I did. She now makes her way out of the chair and stands to face me. She takes a slow step forward, crossing her arms. "Plenty of things, you kissed Reggie, you family destroyed my life along with countless other serpents, I could go on." She say taking another step closer to me, I stumble backwards.

"What are you saying Toni?" I say my hands falling behind me gripping to the table in the foyer. "What I'm saying Cheryl..." She says taking two steps to me, only centimeters from my face. "Is that I never loved you, I hate you for what you and your family have done to me, and to my friends. What I'm saying, is goodbye, forever." She says and tears roll down my face. How could she say something like this? She knows I'm nothing like my family, I didn't do anything to her or her friends. Yes I wasn't a fan of them but I see them differently now, as equals.

Then I suddenly feel a sharp pain in my stomach, looking down I see my white shirt being dyed with my blood by the knife that has been plunged into it. I look up to see Toni with a devilish smile on her face as she pulls the knife out, and I fall to the floor. "And now you won't hurt anyone ever again." She says before dropping the blood stained knife in front of me. 

I hear her boots make their way out of the door and down to her now roaring bike. My vision blurs as the last clear thing I see is the puddle of blood around me and the knife that was so swiftly plunged into my stomach. My vision blurs by the fact that I am slowly bleeding out, and the tears that spew out my eyes. I gasp for air that no longer reaches my lungs.

Toni was the only person to care, so I realize that nobody is coming to help me. I give up, closing my eyes knowing that I'm alone.

And then, everything is dark.
