TONI POV:

I throw up into a bucket. "Toni what happened?" Cheryl ask quietly. "I'm just sick." I whisper. "Why do I not believe you?" She ask quietly. "I'm telling the truth." I whisper before I throw up again. "I'm cold." I whisper. She grabs another blanket. "You're not pregnant?" She ask quietly. "You know you're the only person I've been with. Well I did hook up with Jughead over a year ago." She smiles. "And you're not going through withdrawal?" I shake my head. She gives me that looks. "Ok, maybe I am. but it's from my medication! I haven't been taking it." She looks at me disappointed. "It's not helping the nightmares." I throw up again. "Also everything with my dad." She moves hair out of my face. "This has been a shitty summer for you." She whispers. I sit up slightly. "What's going to happen to us when school start next week?" I ask opening up. "Well what do you mean?" She ask quietly. "I want more than a stupid summer fling." I whisper. "If you don't just leave now. I'll call Sweet Pea." I sit back. "I want to be you. I'm just not out, to-to anyone." I take a deep breath. "I'm not ready to come out."

"Feeling better?" Cheryl ask as I walk over to her. We have our spot near Thornhill around the water. "Yeah, I got some fresh air." I whisper. "How's you're mom?" I shrug. "She doesn't talk about my dad. I don't think she's processed him dying." I sit next to her. "I try to talk to her about it and she tells me it's all in my head." I whisper. "I'm really worried about her." I grab a bag and throw up into it. She rubs my back. "Last night?" I change the subject. "I don't think I can do this." She whispers. "I'm sorry." She says so I can barely hear her. I get up and walk home. I walk inside and to the kitchen. "Mom. Can can w-we talk? About dad." She looks up at me. "What is there to talk about?" She shrugs. "He's dead. I never got to say goodbye." I take a deep breath. She gets up. "Toni." I walk away. "Forget it, I can't go through more heart breaks today!" I yell running up to my room. I slam the door and lie on my bed to cry. I don't know how much time went on but my mom was now sitting on my bed rubbing my back. I look at her. "What happened?" She ask quietly. "Cheryl broke up with me." I cry into her. "Sweetheart." She kisses the top of my head. "I'm sorry." I cry for a while. "What happened?" She ask quietly. "She said she just wanted a summer fling. I'm in love with her." I whisper. "I'm sorry. Why does she want a summer fling?" She ask quietly, I sit up and lie against the wall. "No one knows she's gay and everyone is out of town." I tell her. "I love her more than anything."

"What are you doing?" I ask as Cheryl pulls me into her pool house. "I want to be with you." She whispers.
