Worst of You | Choni

chapter 18

"ASHER!!!!!!!" Toni cried out as she fell to the ground beside her brother who had already fallen on his back. She covered up her brothers gunshot wound with her own two hands.

"Someone take care of Clifford and Hiram. And someone call 911! NOW!" Jughead ordered as he rushed over to where the Topaz siblings were.

A group of serpents went over to the two businessmen and gripped their arms, not allowing them to get away.

Cheryl and her two friends popped up from behind the bar and rushed over to where the incident had happened.

Jason had got a look of a redhead running through the crowd with a blonde and a raven-haired girl following behind and heading towards the incident. Immediately he knew it was the red hair of his sister.

"Cheryl!" Jason called out, trying to keep his tone calm, hiding his anger.

Cheryl turned her head to look at her brother. She stopped for a moment before deciding to ignore her brother and turn her head back to walk towards Toni and Asher.

Toni lifted her hands from her brothers wound on his chest and stared right down at the blood that bled through her brothers shirt then at all the blood rubbed all over her own two hands. She began panting as she looked at all the blood on her hands. She looked down to her breathless brother. And the panting grew.

"We're gonna help you Ash! Just stay strong! Help is on the way, Asher. Just stay with me, please." Toni said panting and trying to keep a strong face, as she tried to keep her sobs inside.

"An-Antoi-n-nette" Asher struggled to say with the small breaths he had left inside him at the moment.

"Asher. Help's coming. Don't say anything." The pink-haired girl whispered as she got closer to her brothers face, making sure she was right in front of him so he could see her. Toni let a tear drop onto her brothers face as she spoke down to him. Her panting continued but softened.

As she shared a moment with her brother, she felt someone grip her arm, motioning her to get up. She looked up and found her beanie wearing best friend. Her panting finally decreasing as she looked up at her friend.

"Toni... C'mon get up." The boy said in a soft voice to his smaller friend.

"No, I can't leave his side." Toni began to let out her cries.

Jughead sighed and helped his friend up. He looked down to all the blood on her hands then look down to face his best friend.

"Toni, we'll get him help. Trust me. Help is on its way right now. Go get yourself cleaned up. I promise you, I'll make sure he gets to the hospital." Jughead promised.

Toni hesitates to walk away but Jughead gave her a little push towards the crowd to get through. She looked at her brother down at the ground and sighed. As soon as Jughead was sure Toni had walked away he kneeled down beside Asher, sliding his hands under the boy to pick him up. Once Jughead stood up with the boy in his arms, Fangs stood beside, taking off his flannel that he had tied around his waist and placed it over the gunshot wound and applied pressure to it. In this position, both boys made their way out of the Whyte Wyrm carrying and helping Asher out as they heard the sirens come closer.

Inside, Toni rushed her way through the crowd. She was angry and upset and all she wanted and had in mind was to take out the Blossom who shot her brother. She was dragged out of her thoughts when she had bumped into a redhead she had soon realized she had been avoiding. The two stood in front of eachother, making eye contact.

"Toni, are you okay?" Cheryl asked as she reached out to place her hand on top of Toni's shoulder.

Toni smacked Cheryl's arm away with her own and shook her head, getting back into her thoughts. Cheryl looked down to her arm and saw the bloody handprint that Toni had left. Toni couldn't stand the Blossom Family at the moment.

"Stay the fuck away from me, Cheryl! Your dumbass father just shot my baby brother!" Toni yelled, only beginning her rant. "Your stupid, evil, manipulative, conniving father just shot an innocent soul. Asher is only 15 years old! He has his whole life ahead of him, and right now all he's doing is struggling to keep on fucking going!" Toni cried out to the redhead.

"I-I'm so so sorry, To-" Cheryl began to apologize sincerely.

"No, you don't fucking get it!" Toni said as she looked up at the girl.

Toni reached into her pocket, taking out her pocket knife and popping it open so that the blade is already out. Toni looked down to her knife and touched her blade with her hand for a small moment, leaving her brothers blood rubbed around the blade. She sighed then looked up to Cheryl as a tear slid down across her face.

"Cheryl, I am so fucking sorry for this." Toni apologized sincerely in advance as she began to walk away.

Cheryl watched the serpent girl walk away from her until she rushed over to catch up and grab her wrist.

"Toni, wait!"

Toni turned around to face the girl.

"What do you want, red?" Toni sighed.

Cheryl looked at the girl in front of her and slowly ran her fingers across Toni's beat up eye and busted lip. For some reason, Toni didn't pull away this time. This time she stood there, enjoying the touch of the much paler girl. This time, Toni felt comfortable and wanted to feel her touch against her skin.

"You just don't listen when I tell you to stay away, do you?" Toni remarked with a straight face.

Cheryl stood in front of the girl and stared right into her eyes, not really knowing what to say but growing the biggest urge to do something next. Cheryl had an idea of what Toni was about to do. Cheryl was supposed to care, but in all honesty, she really didn't give a crap what happened to her father. She had lost all respect for him and didn't want a thing to do with him anymore. Jason was right about their father, and Cheryl couldn't agree more with her own brother. Cheryl contemplated on her next move for seconds because of her thoughts. After a while, Cheryl quickly leaned in placing her lips against the girl in front of her, closing her eyes and hoping that she would kiss back.

Toni stood there in shock of what was happening. She had missed their lips locked together. For some odd reason, she felt that this kiss was different. Cheryl had been one of the few people Toni had ever actually grew fond of. After a couple seconds, Toni closed her eyes and kissed the strawberry tasting lips that were against hers back. The two girls stood in the middle of the crowd, devouring eachothers lips, not caring that people were around and watching them. Toni felt so different with this kiss. She wanted more. Not more as in just a one night stand, more as in maybe getting committed with someone she's actually starting to fall for, who cares and actually has the guts to keep chasing her around. She had this funny feeling that she had never felt with anyone before. She didn't know what to do with this feeling. She didn't want to feel this. She didn't know how to handle or what to do with this feeling because she has never felt it before. So, all she did was pull away from the redhead's lips and shake off the nonsense feeling.

"Stay away, red." Toni whispered to the girl, walking away to go find the evil Blossom who shot her brother.

"Where the hell is this mother-fucking bastard?" Toni yelled across the bar as she rushed over to the back room, knowing that she'd find them there.

Cheryl stood there, ignoring the fact that Toni told her to stay away and watched the girl walk away. She internally smiled at what just happened because she had gotten this funny feeling too. A feeling anyone could easily identify as love. But for Cheryl, she hadn't known it yet.

The Blossom's thoughts were interrupted when she felt the strong arms of her brother gripping her arm and pushing her through the crowd.

"Get the hell out of here, Cheryl!" Jason raised his voice at his younger sister, practically pushing her towards the exit. "Take your friends with you!" Jason yelled out.

Cheryl hesitated but she felt her brothers eyes glaring right at her so she just decided on leaving, taking her two friends with her in order to avoid anymore conflict.
