Choni - New Attractions

Bad News, Good news.

Toni's Pov
Once the movie had finished, Cheryl let go of my hand, honestly it upset me a little, but even if she did want to hold my hand, there were so many riverdale high students at the movie, so instead, me and Cheryl decided to go to the park, as we expected everyone to be heading to Pops. We went through the normal routine of getting on the bike and Cheryl getting on the back arms around my waist, but this time it was in silence, we weren't talking like before or laughing, we were just driving in silence. When we finally arrived at the Park, me and Cheryl walked over to a tree and sat next to each other underneath it, we sat in silence for a couple minutes until I decided to break the silence.

"So... as much as you might have wanted to hide it, I saw you crying in the movie Cheryl." I turned to face her and she turned back, so we were looking into each others eyes.
"I never normally cry in movies, real life is depressing enough." I instantly felt bad for asking the question. "But in that moment, when Simon was coming out to his mother, it...it brought back bad memories..."
"Memories...what do you mean.."
"Last year...I was secretly dating this girl, her name was Heather. No one knew, not even my own mother, so when I finally got the guts to tell her, she....she told me that I was deviant, that...that my feeling were all in my head, that it was a phase.." My heart sunk for her... I've not lived with my parents for years so I have never had to go through that before, but I can only imagine how bad it was. "So when she found out about Heather, she drove her and her family out of town, and threatened to send me away if I didnt change, but Toni....I can't change."
"Cheryl...I..."
"What she doesnt understand is I cant help who I love..."
"Cheryl, listen to me..." I grabbed her hand and smiled at her. "I get what you mean, how you can't help who you love, but your not deviant, you need to ignore your mother, Ok Cheryl, besides, I'm here for you, no matter what."
"Thank you Toni.."
"I know we arent going to even be in the same school, but I'm still always here, Ok"
"Im going to miss you T.T"
We sat embracing each other for what felt like hours, Cheryl crying her eyes out in my arms. I knew her mom was bad, but never knew she was this bad. It got to the point where we were both just crying together, arm in arm, letting all of our emotions out. Soon Cheryl got a notification on her phone, and when she read it her spirits lifted.
"Toni, I have news.."
"What is it?"
"Southside highs closing...." As soon as I heard this, pain shot through my head, that means leaving all my friends behind, maybe having to go to school hours away, maybe leaving Cheryl..
"No..no no no....." I started to cry even more than before.
"Wait Toni, theres good news" Wait what...
"Your moving to Riverdale High..."
