"Cheryl, for the love of god. Just tell me." I sighed. "You know Ronnie, the vixen?" She asked. DID I KNOW RONNIE THE VIXEN? "I know Ronnie the man, but Ronnie the vixen... oh! Ronnie the vixen as in Ronnie Lodge. The girl I have been friends with for several months before the whole you dating her thing happened." I replied sarcastically. "Very Funny Toni. Very funny." Cheryl commented and rolled her eyes. "If you're just gonna be like this, can you leave?" I asked. "I thought you wanted answers." Cheryl smirked. Fuck. "Then tell me why. What did I do wrong?" I asked. "You didn't do anything TT." She replied. "Then What happened?" I asked. She reached out and grabbed my hand. "If I had stayed with you, my mother would have killed you. Ronnie knows people that will protect her. I didn't want to see you hurt. Veronica agreed to do it because she cares about the both of us. If mother found out that Ronnie and I were dating, she knows she couldn't do anything. Before you start, I know you're a badass because you're in a gang. But you don't know my mother like I do. She will find a way. She always does. But if she tried anything on Veronica her father would destroy her." Cheryl explained. "You could have told me." I stated. "I wanted to. But the risk was inevitable. I didn't want the second thing on the planet that I love the most die." She sighed. "Second?" I asked. "Equally first with Nana rose." She replied smiling. "I want to meet her. She seems nice." I smiled. "I can bring her to pop's tomorrow seeing as it's friday today." She commented. "What time?" I asked. "Eleven." She replied. "I will be there." I promised. "Promise me one thing." Cheryl smiled softly looking at me. "Anything." I commented. "No matter what, promise me you know that I still like you." She stated. "I still like you too." I smiled. I got lost in her eyes. "Do it." She whispered. I closed the gap between us in a matter of seconds. This felt so scandalous but so right. Like Romeo and Juliet. She returned the kiss passionately. After a few moments, she pulled away. "I'll see you tomorrow." She smiled and left. I just stood there smiling. Maybe my life needed to be out of control so Cheryl could settle it down.
The next day at ten thirty, I had gotten dressed. (Wearing What Pia is)

I then got on my buke and drove to Pop's. Cheryl hadn't come yet, so I got my notebook out and started writing song lyrics. When I am down, and oh my soul so weary, when troubles come and my heart burdened me. Then I am still and wait here in the silence, until you come and sit a while with me. You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains, you raise me up to walk on stormy seas. I am strong when I am on your shoulders. You raise me up to more than I can be. I smiled at the lyrics. I looked up and saw Cheryl was helping her nana out of the car. "Kev! Make sure no one sits here!" I called out to him and he nodded. I got up and walked outside. "Hey." Cheryl smiled. "Hey. You two Well?" I asked. "We're Fine Thanks." Cheryl chuckled. "I got us a booth. That alright?" I asked. "That's great. Thank you Toni." Cheryl replied. "Tiny! I thought you'd still be sleeping." Pea commented. "I'm here with Cheryl and her Nana Rose. I will come later and we can organise Fangs's birthday." I smiled. "Have fun. Morning Cheryl, morning Mrs Blossom." Pea smiled. Nana Rose looked at Pea. "Good morning young man." She smiled. "Keep an eye out for this one. She's a bit of a troublemaker." Pea grinned ruffling my hair. "I am not." I whined. "Also, a bit of a baby at some points. But we all love her." Pea chuckled. "Sweet Pea If you don't leave I swear to god I won't hesitate to make you babysit hot dog tonight." I threatened. "No, not hot dog." Pea gasped dramatically and ran off. "I see you and you're Friend are close." Nana Rose smiled. "Yeah, we grew up together. Sixteen years. He's basically my brother." I commented. We went inside and sat at our booth. "Thanks Kev." I smiled. "It's all good." He smiled back and went back to sitting with his friends. "You writing songs again?" Cheryl asked. "Yeah. I'm in a band, seeing as I'm the only one with a creative mind, I write songs. I actually started on one this morning." I stated. "Can we see it?" Cheryl asked excitedly. I giggled and handed her the note pad. "Wow. You do have a beautiful mind after all." Cheryl smiled. "Exactly. Being beautiful is not about looks. It's about having a kind heart, beautiful mind and a loving soul." I stated. "You made a good choice Cheryl dear." Nana Rose smiled. Suddenly, the door swung open. "CHERYL MARJORIE BLOSSOM!" A woman yelled. "Yes mother?" Cheryl sighed. "HOW DARE YOU TAKE NANA ROSE TO MEET THIS, THIS. SERPENT SLUT!" She yelled. "Penelope, can you come here a moment?" Nana Rose Asked. The woman walked over cautiously. Nana rose reached out and slapped her in the face. "How dare you talk to your daughter like that. I thought I raised you better. But I guess not." She spat. "You only adopted me so I could marry your son." Penelope stated. "An evil woman for an evil man I suppose." Nana Rose growled. Happy days. Penelope then marched out of the Diner. Well that was. Interesting.
