Blood In Riverdale - A Riverdale FanFiction (GirlxGirl)

24

Maxine's POV

I decided to head back inside, what was the point in wasting my time trying to make Cheryl see that I really wasn't this monster she saw? Sure, I love her but I loved Penelope too and I'm not going over to Thistle House and trying to get her to be with me am I? I know we can't be together and neither can Cheryl and I. I  knew we wouldn't be together because she probably didn't feel the same as I did but now I know for sure that she doesn't.

Just as I was about to head inside, I felt someone pull me by the jacket. I tried to fight them off but another pair of hands grabbed on to me and dragged me around the corner of Pops.

I was pushed against the wall and my head was roughly pulled up by my hair. I realised it was two of Dodger's guys, one of them was the guy that stabbed me with the normal knife.

"Do you have any idea who you fucked with?" The guy who stabbed me growled. "We're far more dangerous than you could ever know."

"If you have to tell someone how dangerous you are, you're not really dangerous." I smirked.

I gasped for air as he landed a hard punch in my stomach. He pulled me up again, this time holding me by my throat.

"You think you're funny?"

"Of course not. I know I am."

He put more pressure on my throat before punching me in the stomach again, this time I couldn't get the air inside my lungs due to the tight grip on my throat. I tried swinging for him but the other guy quickly held my arms against the wall.

The guy who stabbed me released his grip on my throat before punching me across the face. "You gonna kill me?" I asked after I spat some blood out of my mouth.

"You gotta pay for what you did to my friends. To my brothers. Dodger wants you dead...But we got someone interested in making you pay first hand. So for now, we're just gonna have some fun." He laughed patting my cheek gently.

He moved back slightly, his friend pulled me from the wall and before I could react to anything, kicks and punches came flying at my body. I fell to the ground, trying to protect my body as much as possible.  I could feel my body trying to heal but the amount of kicks and punches was too much.

It soon stopped and I was pulled to my feet. I wobbled slightly as my arms were pulled behind my back. I watched as the guy pulled out a switchblade, a huge grin on his face.

"Do it." I said, my voice breaking due to the weakness and pain. "Give me another excuse to rip your fucking heads off and play with them like they're bongo drums!"

He took a step closer, our eyes remained locked. I was ready for the pain. I knew that couldn't kill me.

"LEAVE HER ALONE!"

My eyes widened as he turned around.

"CHERYL!!"

I watched as the knife sunk deep into her stomach as she ran into him. My heart dropped as he pulled the knife out of her, turning to look at his friend who quickly released me. I fell to my knees and weakly crawled towards he as the two guys ran away.

I gently wrapped my arms around Cheryl's shoulders and held her. Tears were slowly rolling down her face, as blood began to soak her shirt. I bit my wrist and held it to her mouth. She gave me a look of disgust but now was not the time. I forced her to take my blood and as she did, I gently lifted her shirt up to look at her wound. Thanks to my blood the bleeding had stopped and it had healed enough.

I removed my arm and gently removed the traces of blood around her mouth with my thumb.

"Why did you try and help?"

"Because, as much as I don't like you right now, I wasn't gonna just stand by and watch you get hurt." She winced as she tried to stand up. "I thought your disgusting blood healed me?"

"It did...But you're still gonna feel some pain."

She managed to stand and I was surprised when she helped me up. My legs gave out again but she held me tightly. I gripped on to her like my life depended on it. I looked into her brown eyes and I couldn't deny that even now, I was falling hard and deep for her. I wanted to kiss her so bad. I wanted her so bad, but she hated me.

"Please, don't be afraid of me." I whispered. "I would never hurt you."

"How am I supposed to believe you when you showed your fangs to my Mother, the woman you were in love with years ago?"

I was shocked, I didn't think Penelope would have told her. Especially about us.

"You hurt her by leaving. If you can hurt the person you claim to love then you can hurt anyone."

"I swear, I would never hurt you. Please believe me."

"I want to, I really want to but I can't."

"Why? What's stopping you?"

She sighed gently cupped my face. "Because, ...Quite frankly I lo-"

"MAXINE!!"

Cheryl and I turned our heads at the same time to see Josie, Betty and Veronica running towards us. Cheryl moved away from me as Josie got closer. I was about to fall again but Josie was the one to catch me and steady me this time.

"What happened?" She asked concerned, gently turning my head from one side to the other inspecting my wounds.

"Dodgers guys came to have some fun." I said casually as I looked at Betty.

I looked at Cheryl who was glaring at us and Josie. She noticed me looking and quickly looked away.

"Thank you, Cheryl. For helping me."

"Whatever, you have your little girlfriend now. I am no longer needed. Ciao chums." She said before walking away, palming her stomach.

Josie kissed the side of my head and with Betty's help, we walked back into Pop's. Betty called Alice to come pick us up as Josie sat me down in a booth. She sat in front of me and held my hand. I quickly moved it away and I felt bad when I saw the hurt look on her face.

I didn't want this. I didn't want her. I wanted Cheryl. I wanted Cheryl not to hate me. I wanted everything to go back to how it was before Cheryl found out I was a vampire. In fact, I wanted it to go back to twenty five years ago when I could've died in the fire because I hate being a vampire.

I hate how it ruins friendships and relationships.

I hate how it's ruined my life and how it ruins everyone else's.

I just want it to end.
