Worst of You | Choni

chapter 20

"Toni." Jughead called out as he walked into the hospital room alongside their two other best friends, SweetPea and Fangs.

Toni was sitting in a chair beside her brothers hospital bed. She just looked to the door then looked back down to her hand, which was her over her brothers. Her brother had been lying down on the hospital for over two weeks now. He was stuck in a coma due to too much loss of blood. There was no telling when he could wake up or if he ever will.

"Tiny, c'mon. You haven't gone to school in two weeks. Why don't you get ready and we can go together to school today. All of us." SweetPea begged as he began walking over to the girl.

"Yeah, we've got your back." Fangs added.

Toni looked to her brother and sighed.

"I can't leave him." Toni responded in a soft voice.

"Toni, please. We're worried about you, and you need to go to school. I know you don't care much about it but it's still important to at least show up." Jughead began, walking towards the girl. "Asher will be here when you get out of school. And if he wakes up, I'm sure that the nurses will call you as soon as it happens. He's not gonna go anywhere, Toni. Just c'mon, go back to school."

Toni sighed and looked up to her three friends that surrounded her.

"Fine."

Cheryl walked into the school's student lounge alongside her two best friends. All three sat down on the couch, with Cheryl right in the middle, Betty to the left and Veronica to the right.

"How are your guys' fathers?" Betty asked as she looked over to Cheryl and Veronica.

Hiram and Clifford had gotten badly beaten by the serpents. Hiram had gotten a neck injury, with tons of bruises, deep cuts and a broken leg. He could barely move around, all he did was sit in his wheelchair and go to physical therapy. Cheryl's father had gotten a concussion, broken ribs and a couple more stab wounds that SweetPea had decided to do in honor of his friend on the way out. Veronica and Cheryl both had no respect for their fathers and had began to resent them for everything they've done to the Serpents and the Southside.

"Daddy's okay... He promised me he would stop his businesses and end his bad reputation ever since he saw me cry over his beating... I love him, But I don't know if I believe him, it's all he knows." Veronica admitted.

Betty nodded as she looked over to the raven-haired girl then turned her head to face Cheryl. Cheryl just sat there, not really knowing what to say. She hadn't talked to her father in a civilized manner ever since the incident. All he ever does is try to bring Cheryl down every time he sees her. He constantly spits back insults about his daughters sexuality and the person she had chose to have feelings for. But even though Cheryl and Toni hadn't spoken since their last kiss, Cheryl couldn't help but defend the girl she was beginning to love.

"Okay then..." Betty said as she pursed her lips together.

All three of the girls grew silent as they sat beside eachother.

"Oh my gosh, Cheryl!"

"What, V?" Cheryl asked.

"Look!" Veronica whispered-yelled as she pointed her eyes up at the entrance of the lounge.

Cheryl looked up to the door finding a certain pink-haired serpent walking in alongside her group of friends. The group walked to a table together, surrounding Toni as they all talked.
