Memories - A Choni Love Story

Chapter 19

Toni's POV

~two weeks later~

I finally had my cast off. I could walk normally. I didn't need help with the most simple things any more. I was relieved. I still wasn't back to my normal self. My body still ached and I still had to take some pain medication, but it was getting there.

I hadn't really talked to Cheryl recently. We would pass in the corridors and that's about it. I had made things so awkward at hers that I was scared to even talk to her, but I was going back to school. I sit by her in a bunch of lessons, so I knew I would end up talking to her at some point. I needed to talk to her. I hoped I didn't ruin anything.

~at school~

I had looked by Cheryl's locker, but she wasn't there. I figured she must be in the student lounge. I went to look and there she was, talking to Veronica and Betty. For some reason, I felt like there was this jealousy sitting at the put of my stomach. Maybe I should just tell Cheryl I like her. No. Bad idea. She probably doesn't even want to talk to me any more. Besides, I need to focus on exams and fully recovering. That's important. I shouldn't jump in to a romance. Not yet. Not when I'm still in pain after my accident. Not that she would ever want to.

I walked up to her and smiled. She returned the smile, which made me less nervous. Maybe she had forgotten about it.

"Hey, Cheryl, can we talk for a moment?" I stated.

"Sure." She got up and walked over to a corner with me. I was glad she wasn't ignoring me.

"I see you've got the cast off. I'm glad." She said.

"Yeah. Me too. But anyway-look I just wanted to say sorry for just making things so awkward a couple weeks back. It's just we havent talked since then and I was scared you were shutting me out." I explained.

"No, I should be saying sorry. I shouldn't have tried to kiss you. You obviously don't like me like that. I just have to accept it." I saw sadness in her eyes. But I do like her like that, and that was the problem. I just didn't know how to tell her. I hadn't really been in a serious relationship with anyone ever since the death of my mother.

"Can we just move past it?" I asked.

"I would like nothing more." She answered. The bell rang.

"See you later, Bombshell." I said.

"See you in a bit, T.T." She exclaimed, a cheeky grin on her face, as we headed our separate ways.
