Childhood

16

TONI POV:

God I feel so guilty for do that, why did I do it? Cheryl comes home in about a hour and I still haven't told her. I don't know if I can! Luckily the kids didn't hear us. My phone starts ringing and it's Veronica. I hesitantly pick up. "Hey V." I saw nervously. "Are we going to pretend like last week didn't happen?" I take a deep breath. "Cheryl and the kids can't ever find out about what happened. It was a mistake and we both know that." I whisper. I pace around the kitchen. "Fine but one more time." I take a deep breath. "Veronica. I love Cheryl and everything with Betty... this- this can't happen again." I say quietly. "So you want Cheryl to know?" She ask quietly. "Veronica! We're not in high school!" I say frustrated. "Exactly! You tell her or I tell her." I look down. "Fine! But we never speak of it after this!" I hang up and throw my phone across the room. I sit down on the ground. What am I going to do? I take a deep breath. I get up and pick Cheryl up which takes about a hour so it's perfect. "Hey baby." I smile and kiss her slowly. I still feel this high amount of guilt. "I want pops." She smiles and we go to Pops. "Cheryl I need to tell you something." My heart starts pounding. "What's up?" Cheryl ask eating her fires. "You're going to hate me." I panic. "TT just tell me." She whisper. "One night while you were in rehab I-I I invited Veronica over and we had a moment that I regret deeply." I tell her. She looks down. "It was once?" I nod. "I'm sorry Cher." I whisper. "You and Veronica?" She ask quietly. "Like when we were in high school? You guys rekindled." I nod. "Why?" She ask quietly. "You." I whisper. "I felt like something bad was going to happen and I couldn't deal with it." I whisper. "I'm sorry." I whisper. "Is there anyway we can fix this?" I ask quietly. "Meet me in my office tonight. Until them I'm not talking to you." We finish eating and go home. "Mama." Jason walks downstairs. "Bud." Cheryl and Jason hug for a minute or two. "Cheryl." Sarah runs over and hugs her. "Hey sweetheart." She whispers. "How's everything?" She ask quietly.

She holds my balls and ties them up with my penis. "Cheryl." She slides a condom on me. "Shh." She flips me over and ties my down. "I'm surprised you didn't bring Veronica into this room." She whispers. "You know you need to get tested right?" I nod. "Will you forgive me?" I ask quietly. "Maybe." She goes and grabs some other things. She walks back over and slides a butt plug into me. "Cheryl." I moan out. "Be quiet for once!" She whips me. "Ah fuck!" I yell slightly. "So why did you do it?" She ask quietly. "Because it just happened." I tell her. She whips me. "Cheryl please." I whisper. "This is to much right now." I look her right in eyes. She nods and unties me. "Cheryl I'm so sorry about everything." I whisper. "It was one time?" I nod. "It will never happen again and it was better you heard it from me than her. We were both needing something like that and it just happened." I tell her honestly. "Who started it?" She ask quietly. "Her." I lie. "Don't get mad at her she doesn't deserve it." I whisper. I pull Cheryl into a kiss. "You're my only priority when it comes to love. You don't have to worry about Veronica and I again."

I walk down into the speakeasy for the first time since Betty's funeral. "Reggie?" I walk over to the bar. "Toni." He smiles. "What are you doing here?" He ask putting down a glass he was cleaning. "I was going to ask you the same thing." I look around slightly. "Want a drink? It's nonalcoholic though." I shake my head. "No, is Veronica here? I need to talk to her." I whisper. He nods. "Ok, I'll go get her." I take a deep breath. Veronica walks out of the back and sits behind the bar. "What?" She ask quietly. "I told Cheryl, she didn't take well, but she also took it better than I thought." I say quietly. "Does she want you here?" I shake my head. "I'm on my lunch break." I tell her. "Cheryl is the love of my life and even though though she's gone you still love Betty. I-." She stops me. "Can you not bring her up for once?!" She ask frustrated. I can hear the sadness in her voice. "No! Because we shouldn't have done that because of who we love." I take a deep breath. "Is Cheryl ever going to talk to either of us?" I nod. "Yeah she's mad and needs time but she's willing for us to talk through it." I say quietly. "I'll think about it." She walks over from behind the bar, she sits in front of me. Shit! I pull her into a kiss. "We can't keep doing this." I whisper. "So don't kiss me." She suggest. I get up and walk out. I go to my truck and go to SweetWater. I get out and Cheryl is sitting there. "Cher?" I sit next to her. "H-hey b-baby." I see the pain in her eyes. "Cheryl." I starts crying. "I'm sorry." Her voice cracks. I pull her into a hug. I smell the alcohol on her. "You've been drinking." I pull her away slightly. "What do you expect when the love of your life has sex with your best friend?" I look down. "Cheryl we made a deal." I get up. "Can you at least drive me home?" She stumbles. "Yeah but you're in he back." I whisper. I help her into the truck. I drive to Jughead and Archies house. (Their are not dating they're just are single and broke.) I look back at Cheryl. "Why are we here?" She ask quietly. "Because the only other person to snap some sense into you is Archie." I get her out and I knock on the door. "Topaz! Red!" Jughead answers excitedly, but quickly realizes something else is going on. "I'll get Archie."
