Toni P.O.V
I woke up at 6:30am to my alarm. I shut off my alarm and got out bed. I took a quick shower. And washed my hair with my vanilla shampoo and conditioner.I brushed my teeth. And did my morning routine. And got dressed. I wore my red tank top and my black pants with my grey flannel. Along with my black boots and of course my serpent jacket.

"Hey guys." I said as I took a bite out of my muffin.
"Hey tiny." Fangs said. I took another bite and gave it to Fangs. I always share my food with the guys. I've been doing it since I could remember. Fangs took a bite then gave it to Sweets. Who took a bite and gave it to Jughead. Jughead finished the muffin. I shared my drink with the guys. Then I saw Cheryl and Betty,and Veronica pull up. I turned around and smiled. Cheryl looked beautiful. She was wearing a red long shirt,with her leather black skirt and some sexy ass boots and her spider pin.

When she saw me. She smiled and got out of her car. She walked up to me and hugged me. I gave her a kiss on her cheek.
"Hey baby." I said and handed her pops.
"Thank you TT." Cheryl said and took a bite out do the muffin. Betty walks up to Jug and gave him a kiss. Archie finally joined us and hugged Veronica. We were all talking and laughing.
"Hey tiny can I have a sip?" Sweet asked. I gave him my coffee and he took a sip and handed it to Fangs. Then Fangs handed back to me and I took a sip. Everybody els was looking at us weird.
"What?" I asked cluelessly.
"Do you guys share everything?" Veronica asked me.
"Yeah basically. But not everything." Sweet Pea said. The bell rang so we all headed inside the school. I grabbed my books and headed to Cheryl locker. I saw her grabbing a notebook. I looked at her left hand and saw a bandage on her wrist.
"Hey Cheryl what happened to your wrist?" I asked her. Cheryl hid her left arm and looked down at the ground. I lifted up her face and I grabbed her left arm.
"Cheryl what happened?" I asked again.
"My mother did this. She got mad at me because I've been spending nights at your place." Cheryl said avoiding my eyes. I hugged her and rubbed circles on her back. When we pulled away I cupped her face and gave her a passionate kiss.
"I'm sorry that this happened to you. And I'm sorry that I wasn't there." I told Cheryl. She smiled weakly at me. And nodded.
"It's not your fault don't worry." Cheryl told me. I was about to argue with her but the bell rang. Telling us that we need to get to class. I intertwined our fingers and we walked to class. Nothing interesting happened in English. So I just went on my phone. For the whole period. Then as me Cheryl and my friends went to second. I keep having this random number calling my phone. I kept ignoring it but it wouldn't stop. So when I went into my math class. I asked the teacher if I could use the bathroom. I set my things down in the desk next to Cheryl and left the classroom. I saw that Jughead,Fangs,and Sweet Pea we're walking to class. But I grabbed them by the arms and went inside a janitors closet.
"What's going on Toni." Jughead asked me.
"This random number called me 30 times already and no matter how much I block it ignore it. It keeps calling me. So I brought you guys here so we can find out who it is that's calling me. They all nodded. We waited a few moments when my phone started to ring. I looked at the guys and they nodded. I picked up the phone and placed it on speaker.
"Hello who is this?" I asked the unknown caller.
"Well about time you answer the phone. And as for who this is. You already know." The caller said.
"Penny Peabody. What the fuck do you want?" I asked her.
"Well you have a debt that needs to be paid." Penny said and I could hear her smirk.
"I already paid the debt! And it cost me her life!" I shouted at Penny. Penny laughed on the other line.
"Oh that one time thing. That didn't pay your debt. And she was just collateral damage. And you'll do as I say or your little girlfriend gets it.Come to pops tomorrow at 9:30 and we'll talk to face." Penny said and hung up. I looked at my friends.
"What the fuck am I supposed to do?" I asked my friends on the verge of tears. They hugged me and I got a text from Cheryl. And it read:
Baby girl: Are you Okay?you've been gone for a while.
Me: yeah just ran into somebody i knew. But I'm coming back now.
We all left the janitors closet. I fixed my makeup and we all walked in math class. I walked to my seat and didn't look at Cheryl. Cheryl texted me.
Baby girl: are you Okay?
Me: yeah just thinking about somethings.
Baby girl: What are thinking about? Because you look mad.
I looked at Cheryl and weakly smiled. And texted back.
Me: I'll tell you later. But can you promise me something?
Baby girl: Yeah what is it?
Me: Promise me that when I tell you. You won't run or leave me.
Cheryl looked at me with a worried face. I bit my lip trying to contain my emotions. And looked into her eyes. She nodded and mouthed "promise". I smiled and listened to the teacher. Eventually the bell rang signaling that the periods was over. Thank god my third period was a free period. Cheryl met me at my locker and hugged my waist.
"Can we talk now or later?" Cheryl asked me. I finished placing everything in my locker and closed it. We can talk now. I just need to talk to Jug and Sweets,And Fangs. Cheryl nodded and we went to the student lounge. I spotted fangs and the guys. Jughead has Betty siting in his lap. And Fangs was sitting next to Kevin and Sweet Pea was talking to Josie.
"Can I talk to you guys?" I asked showing no emotion. They all came towards me. I lead them to my locker.
"I'm going to tell Cheryl everything. And I also need you to tell your dad about Penny. And tell him that she's back in town. I just wanted you guys to know that." I said and went back to Cheryl. She was sitting on a couch. I walked to her and sat next to her.
"Are you ready?" I asked her. Cheryl nodded and got up from the couch. I waked her to an empty classroom. I locked the door and sat on a desk. Cheryl sat next to me and took my hands into hers. I took a deep breath. I haven't told you everything about me and my life. But what I told you about my parents is true. And about the whole Ghoulies and uncle shit is true. It what you don't know is that my parents used to be serpents. But they got there shit together,they went to college and got a business degree. And obviously started there business. They were high school sweethearts and they had me and I had a little sister." I said as tears ran down my face. Cheryl whipped my tears away and gave my hands a reassuring squeeze. I took a deep breath and continued.
"Days before the accident. My parents help my uncle out with something till this day I still know what it was. But he messed with the Ghoulies and he asks my parents for help. So my dad wanted to help out my uncle. But my mother didn't want us to get involved in that. But my dad used that blood is thicker than water crap. And convinced my mom to let him help his brother. So they did and they set up a drop off spot. To drop off the money that my dad was going to give to the Ghoulies. And they decided to bring me to. And when I asked them where we were going. They told me that we were going on a road trip. So I didn't question anything. And when I asked for my little sister. They told me that she was staying with my uncle. But in reality she was kidnaped by a ghoulie. And you know about the crash. But after the crash I never saw her again."  I said with my voice cracking. I was so nervous to say this next part with the fear of losing Cheryl. But I told her that I would tell everything. So that's exactly what I'm going to do. Cheryl brought her chair close to me and hugged me.
"It's okay you don't need to say anymore." Cheryl said. I shook my head no.
"No you need to hear this. So you can understand why I'm doing the things. That I'm going to do." Cheryl have a confused look. She sat back down not letting go my hands and I continued.
"Well a couple of years later. I moved in with FP and Jug. And everything was going just fine until I got a call from a Ghoulie. Saying that they have my sister and that I can get her back. But I have to do this one time thing. I had to sell drugs. So me wanting to see my little sister. I said yes. So when I finished dealing the drugs. I called the Ghoulie and asked for my sister. They told me to meet them at the Ghoulie hang out. So I snuck out of the house and made my way to the hang out. And once I got there,they kept trying to make me deal more drugs. I said no and the they killed her.M-My little s-sister was dead. I tried to run to get help. But they took me and tortured me. Until FP and the serpents saved me." I said looking at Cheryl. She had tears running down her cheeks. I wiped them away with the pad of my thumbs.
"So what things are you going to do that will make me want to run?" Cheryl asked. I sighed and looked to the ground.
"Remember when I said I have to use the bathroom?" I asked Cheryl. She nodded and looked at me.
"Well I really didn't use the bathroom. I kept having this random number calling me. No matter how many times I blocked it. So I decided I would finally answer it. And as I left the classroom, I found the guys and dragged them into a janitors closet. And I answered the phone. And when I did this woman named Penny Peabody. She's the same girl who tortured me and kidnapped my sister and who also killed her. But she said I have to deal drugs or you'll get hurt." I said and looked at Cheryl. And she looked shocked.
"Toni drug dealing is dangerous. You could get hurt or worse my can die. And I know because it's my secret family business." Cheryl said with concern in her voice. I stood up and and hugged her.
"I know,but I don't have any other choice. I don't want you to get hurt." I said still in her arms.
"Toni please there has to be another way. We can talk to FP. And find another way out of this." Cheryl said pleading me.
"We can try,but I'm supposed to meet her at pops for breakfast tomorrow." I said looking Cheryl in the eyes. Cheryl nodded and hugged me again. We stayed there hugging for about five minutes.
"We should get back to the others before they think we're doing something sinful." Cheryl said smiling weakly. I chuckled and broke the hug. Cheryl went to go open the door but I grabbed her hips and stopped her. I turned her around and gave her a passionate kiss. Cheryl warped her arms around my neck.
"No matter what I just want to say that I love you." I said once I broke the kiss.
"I love you to." Cheryl said and grabbed my hand and we headed to the lounge. When we got there Jug pulled me aside.
"My dad has a plan. But it's going to take some time." Jughead said.
"Okay what is it?" I asked him.
"Your still gonna have to do what Penny says. Until my dad and the rest of the serpents can capture Penny. But until then they moved the fight day up. It's going to be this Sunday." Jughead said. I nodded and sat next to Cheryl.
"Is everything Okay?" Cheryl asked me.
"No. FP has a plan but I have to be Penny's little bitch till then. And they also moved the fight up to Sunday. So I'm fucked." I said I ran my hand through my hair.
"It's going to be okay. Because I love you and believe in you. And your going to beat there asses in the fight." Cheryl said and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I smiled and kissed her back.  We finished school and Cheryl stayed over. We just had a little chill date night. Like we do almost everyday. We fell asleep around 9:00pm. I stayed up a little later. Because of all my thoughts and worries. But that all left once Cheryl cuddled up next to me. With her head on my chest and our legs tangled up. I fell asleep right away.
