Based during episode judgment night when Fangs is released from jail. Part 3.

Toni's POV

I felt my body fall to the floor. In a moment, I was surrounded by serpents as people started running. I wanted to get up and move to find Cheryl, but my body was becoming weaker by the second. My body was in pain. I wanted to scream.

"Cheryl!" I called quietly. Suddenly, I noticed something. Something red. My eyes lit up as I noticed Cheryl. Her face grew concerned as her eyes met mine.

"Toni!" She screamed, as she bent down next to me. FP put some material to my wound. I could feel the blood flowing through my shirt.

"Cheryl!" I said, as she gripped my hand.

"Hey, T.T, I'm here. We need to get you to the hospital! Somebody call an ambulance!" I could hear some anger in her voice.

"Ambulance is on its way. I called a couple of minutes ago." Jughead explained.

"Cheryl..." I started. Cheryl squeezed my hand tighter. I was scared. I don't get scared often. I was scared of losing her. I was scared of losing the one person I care about. I was scared that she would be all alone without me. I couldn't help but wonder if I wouldn't make it. I needed to tell Cheryl everything and anything. If I were to die, she needed to know how I feel about her.

"If I don't get the chance to say it-"

"Hey. Don't you talk like that. I mean it!" She said to me.

"Look...Cheryl..." I could feel my body getting weaker. It took more effort to say a sentence now than it ever had before. I could feel tears starting to stream down my face. "I...I...L-"

Cheryl's POV

Toni stopped talking. Her eyes closed. I waited for a breath. Just one. To give me hope. I refuse to lose her. I couldn't bear the thought of losing someone else I care about. But what was she trying to say? My hear beat became steadier, when I heard it. A breath. Thank the lord, I thought to myself.

"She's breathing! She must have just passed out. Where the hell is that ambulance?" I screamed. In that very moment, we all heard it. Sirens, edging closer towards us.

As the medics jumped out of the vehicle and helped put Toni inside, I didn't let go of her hand. Not once. I jumped in the ambulance with her, not giving the medics a chance to stop me. I looked at her. She looked lifeless. There was on oxygen mask on her face.

~at the hospital~

I paced back and forth. I waited for news. Anything. Just any doctor to tell me it would be okay, that I could stop worrying. But there was nothing. Just silence between me and the serpents, who were all waiting to hear from someone too.

Cousin Betty barged through the door. She hugged Jughead and headed over to me.

"Cheryl! I heard what happened and came as soon as I could." Betty wrapped her arms around me. I could feel my eyes filling up with tears. "Cheryl, sit down. How's she doing?" Betty told me to sit down, and I did exactly that.

"That's the problem. No one has told us anything. She must still be in surgery." I stopped, I could barely get the words out of my mouth. My eyes were burning. "I lost JJ. I can't lose her too. I won't." I finished.

"Hey...I know Toni. She is a fighter. She won't give up and neither will the doctors. Before long, she will be out of here, being her normal, sassy self." Betty placed her hand on my shoulder as a motion of comfort.

We all sat there. We waited and we waited. Doctors constantly came by, giving me hope, until they stopped to talk to somebody else. Until finally, a young woman in uniform was heading in our direction. She kept getting nearer. She didn't turn, move or look away.

"You're here for...uh...Antoneitte Topaz, yes?" She asked, looking directly at me.

"Yes. I'm her girlfriend. What's happening? How is she?" I asked, questions flooding out of my mouth.

"The bullet missed all of her organs, but it did hit a few blood vessels and scraped against some large veins. Though it could have been worse. She's lucky and she's also lucky she got to us when she did. She was on the verge of death. But, she's going to be okay." With nurse's last words, my whole body filled with relief.

"When can I see her?" I asked.

"You can see her now-" I ran towards her room instantly. I heard the nurse call after me. "But she may not be conscious yet."

I looked at Toni. The heart monitor was beeping. She was in a hospital gown. She looked paler than normal. But she was going to be okay. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I sat in the chair next to her bed and placed my hand next to hers. I pushed a few of her pink strands of hair, out of her face.

"Oh T.T. I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. If I had just stopped arguing, maybe you wouldn't be here. And I know you can't here me, but I'm going to talk anyway. I have never felt that kind of fear before. Not ever. The thought of losing you completely broke me. I'm just so glad your okay." I voiced my thoughts, assuming she wouldn't hear.

I felt something warm brush against my hand and place its self on top of my hand. It felt familiar. I looked straight up at my girlfriend to see her eyes flickering. Slowly, her eye lids opened and she began to focus.

"Cheryl..." She mumbled.

"Babe. Thank god! You scared me for a moment there! Don't ever do that again!" I explained. Toni chuckled weakly.

Toni's POV

I could see the relief in her eyes. I was so worried my body would give up, that I wouldn't see my Cheryl again. Instantly, I remembered what I was trying to say to Cheryl after I got shot. I looked deep into her eyes, before I started talking.

"Cheryl. I was trying to tell you something before we got here, because I was so scared that my heart would give in. But now that we are here, I need to finish my sentence. It's something I've wanted to say for a long time." I felt tears collect in my eyes, before flowing down my cheeks. "I love you. So much." I finished. Cheryl looked stunned. Her face quickly grew a large and happy grin.

"I love you too." She answered. This was perfect. This was a moment. This was a memory I would treasure forever.

"Good! Now get down here and kiss me!" I demanded, my body still too weak to reach up to her.
