Tonis Pov
I went back to the oven and got the bacon and sausages out, they were cooked to perfection. I went back to the frying pan and put the eggs on the plate, once everything was served I walked over to the table to find Cheryl smiling at me.

"Foods ready Cheryl."
"Thank goodness, I have been craving this for a long time, just what I wanted." I smiled back at her knowing that I was making her happy. I sat the food infront of her and she ate it so fast it was gone within a few minutes, she must have been starved at the sisters, now I felt bad for not feeding her earlier.
"So Cheryl, what do you want to do today?"
"I think...I think i'm ready to confront my mother about what she did."
"Thats great Cheryl, while we are there we can grab some of your stuff if you want.."
"Of course Toni." She stood up and took her plate back into the kitchen, I watched her move, she was honestly beautiful, and she suited my clothes amazingly, even if they weren't the most stunning. "Also Toni..."
"Yes.."
"I think....I want to get emancipated, my nana owns my house, so I can live with her, kick my mother out."
"Thats great Cheryl, but are you sure your ready to do that, the day after she took you away."
"I'm more than ready, the amount of anger that that woman has put inside of me, I kept it all bottled up, but I think I'm ready to let it out."
"Go for it Cher, you can get some of my clothes, change into them then we can go if you want."
"Please Toni, Thank you."
"Its ok, now go get ready to face the beast"

Cheryl's Pov

I went into Toni's room to get some clothes and get changed, but I also wanted to go in and look around her room, I've barely had an opportunity to because last night I crashed as soon as I walked into her room. Firstly I chose an outfit from her wardrobe composing of a grey Metallica crop top and ripped jeans, a flowery black jacket and then a red and black plaid shirt around my waist to finish the outfit, it surprised me how well all of Toni's clothes fit me, the southside style complimented me better than the poshness of the Northside outfits.

Once I finished changing I decided to look around her room, she had a desk that had everything perfectly arranged on it, almost as if everything had its own place. Her laptop perfectly in the center, showing that she was proud of it, and the work she has on it. Next to the laptop was a small plain black sketchbook, I opened it and saw what an amazing artish she was, there were portraits of her friends, I could pick out Sweetpea, Fangs and Jughead from all the sketches, they were amazing, she was amazing. I had never seen a drawing more lifelike. There were also sketches, noticeably of Sweetwater river, the place that held so many good yet bad memories in my mind. There was also a polaroid and digital camera on her desk, which was obviously the cause of all the polaroids covering two thirds of her wall.

One third was noticeably of all of her friends from school, some mugshots and some that were obviously taken during some sort of fake photoshoot she had with her friends. The second third had pictures of her and her family, both her serpent family and photos of a young Toni with her mum and dad. I realised there were no pictures of Toni as a teenager with her parents as they were all dated and there were none from any sooner that 2012. There was one that stuck out to me, it was the most recent one with her mom pictured in it, but her mom was pictured in a hospital gown and it was obviously taken in a hospital. What made my heart sink was the fact that it was just simply captioned with 'Goodbye'. Which made me realise why she lived alone, her mom must have died, I didnt want to ask her why or how, but it made my heart ache for her. This was also why she must have joined the serpents, to gain a family that she lost.

The last third was empty, almost as if there was a part of her life that she was missing, I thought about it for a while, and realised that it must be saved for those that she loves, her relationships, I had never asked Toni before, but I dont think she has ever been in a serious relationship. Just staring at that blank wall made me feel like there was a space in my life too, almost as if it was a space left for her, for Toni. So I picked up her Polaroid camera and turned it to face me, I set it on a timer and put it down on her desk, I decided to pull a cute yet goofy face and took a picture, I didnt care what it looked like, I just wanted to try help fill a void. When the picture finished developing I got a permanent marker and wrote on it. When I was finished I hung it up in the corner of the third third of the wall.
