Serpent By Blood

31

Cheryl's POV: during the car ride home I had debated on if I should tell Betty about Heather or not but I decided against it because she deserved to be happy but now it's been a day and she's happy but I'm not. I feel guilty and Heather has been calling me every three hours, I haven't answered yet because I need advice from my best friend for life. As I was pacing rapidly around the Living room I heard the front door open. "Betty?!? Betty get in here!" I was close to having a panic attack, my breath was getting choppy and it felt like I had bricks on my chest. "Yes?" She had a huge smile on her face but it soon faded when she saw me sweating, crying and having a loss of breath. She rushed over to me and held me until we fell to the ground. "Cheryl what is it, are you okay?" She said whilst pushing a piece of my hair behind my ear. "I- I can't, Toni a-and Heat-Heather." Her eyebrows furrowed And she quickly responded. "Who is Heather?" My breath wasn't slowing down and I still had tears streaming down my face. She ran into the kitchen and got me a small paper bag. "Here, calm down." Eventually she got me to slow down my breathing and I was able to tell her everything. "Why were you so worried if you and Toni aren't official?" She asks me in a calming motherly voice. "I don't know, it's just I'm not sure there will be a future for me and Toni, yes, I just met Heather but she just seems like the type to be committed." Ring Ring Ring. Once again that was my phone going off caused by none other than Heather. "Answer it." Betty hands me the phone and for some odd reason I have confidence. "Hello, Heather? I'm sorry about not answering any of your calls I've been...busy." She laughs over the phone. "Yeah, I wouldn't have called as much if I didn't have a reason, I just got kicked out of my apartment here in Florida and I was wondering if you have any details of Riverdale?" Oh crap.
A/N the next chapter will be when Betty is 9 months pregnant and Heather will be coming to Riverdale.
