Hold Me Tight (Choni)

Chapter 22

Cheryls POV

I woke up and Toni still laid against my chest. Her pink hair trailed over my body. She was gorgeous. In that moment I realised I would do absolutely anything for this girl. She was my everything. I gently moved Toni's head and hopped off the bed carefully as to not wake the sleeping goddess. I got dressed and made my way downstairs, my nana rose sat by the fire place.

"Good morning nana," I said smiling.

"My dear," she said, a look of fear was obvious in her eyes.

"Is everything okay," I said making my way to her side.

"Its your mother, she has been here," she said panic now clouding her eyes. We both know what she is capable of.

"Are you sure," I asked hoping this was a nightmare. She pointed to the table on which a whit envelope was perched. I moved to the envelope, scared to open it. Knowing when I did everything would change.

"To my deviant daughter,

Your sins have cursed the blossom name and I will no longer watch idly. If you can not put a stop to this sinning I will be forced to take actions into my own hands. My hands are already covered in blood of your father, Jason and if you don't wish your lover the same fate, you will end this foolishness, return my house and my money. Maybe I will even let you keep your life. You have until night fall my sapphic daughter. Just remember the life of your lover and rose rely on you and your decision.

Mother"

A tear fell from my face and stained the letter. She had already taken my shinning light JJ and was now going to take my TT and nana. I would not let her have this victory, she may have won the war but I could still protect TT and nana rose.

I looked to nana rose,"I know what I must do," I said and nana rose nodded her head. This women had brought nothing but fear into those she was supposed to love. I thought the emancipation would have solved this but it only made things worse. I knew what I had to do and the thought of it ripped my mended heart into two.

"I will retire to my room," nana rose said as she made her way to the lift.

I folded the note and placed it into my pocket. I picked my mind up and prepared it for what was to come.

Toni's POV

I woke to an empty bed.

"Cher," I said and I heard no response. I got dressed and I could her Cheryl talking to her grandmother. She must be downstairs I thought to myself and made my way down to her.

"Good morning princess," I smiled.

"Morning," Cheryl said as she turned. Our faces only inches apart. Cheryl learned in and kissed me. This kiss was different I could feel the heaviness of Cheryls heart. It was weighing her down. I looked up and tears ran down her face.

"Cher, is everything okay?" I said cupping her face and bringing her eyes to meet mine. I was worried.

"No, I can't do this," Cheryl said as her eyes filled with tears. She retreated from our embrace and raised her hands. I was lost for words. I didn't understand. I motioned towards her and she retreated again.

"It's over Toni," she said.

"No cher, what's changed since last night," I said as tears ran down my cheeks.

"I can't be with a killer," she said now sobbing,"you're a killer Antoinette." The words penetrated my heart. It felt like she had ripped out part of my heart. She wasn't wrong I was a killer.

I ran and hopped on my bike. I drove until I found myself at my grandpas cabin. The place I always came to gather my thoughts. My safe place away from the world.
