Love that song...

(The first chapter is gonna be kinda boring but it's building a story, lets start!)

They say if you love someone, you have to learn to let them go. Cheryl never understood that until she met her.

Toni's pov:

I yawned as I woke up. The hospital beds were soft, but I hadn't had that much of a refreshing sleep because my stomach was hurting that night.

I sat up from my bed feeling dizzy and nauseated. I rushed to the bathroom in my room and gagged into the toilet.

I fell onto the floor feeling drained,
I was planning on going to school today.

I was going no matter what, I wanted to go to school while i still could.

10 months, 10 months is how long my doctor said I have to live, that was 3 weeks ago.

I got in the shower, the hot water burning on my skin felt good. Especially because of how cold it was in my room. I got out, got dressed and headed out.

"Hop on!" Fangs said. I had my own bike but I liked being with Fangs better. I got on with Fangs and an hour later we pulled into the parking lot.

Cheryl's pov:

After getting ready I got into my Scarlett red convertible. Music blasting as i drove down the not so bumpy road.

When I pulled into the parking lot at school the first thing i noticed was a certain pink haired serpent. She was so absorbing and beautiful.

Her pink and purple locks flowed down her shoulders like a violet and lavender river. I was quickly pulled out of my thoughts when Tina tapped on my arm.

"Cheryl? Did you hear? Veronica went on a date with Chuck and he gave her a sticky maple"

"What?" Cheryl said in a rather foul voice. Annoyed that she interrupted her train of thought.

"Chuck gave Veronica a sticky maple" Tina said again with a big grin on her face.

"I don't care!" Cheryl yelled. Just then Toni looked over and they locked eyes.

Her eyes, they were hollow, but beady at the same time. I didn't know she was sick at the time but I would soon find out.

"Cheryl lets go!" Said Ginger. Toni looked away and walked off with her friends, Cheryl did the same.

Toni's pov:

We locked eyes. God was she beautiful. Her fire red hair. She was wearing a white shirt with a red skirt that hugged all her curves perfectly. I heard a girl behind her call her name, we both looked away I walk into school. I had 9 months to live, I wanted to make the most of that.

This was my first time going back to school in 4 months because i was in bad condition at the hospital.

First thing on my list: Try out for cheerleading, which probably was a bad idea because I could tire myself out and end up back in the hospital. Which is where I lived but I didn't care.

After school I went to the gym for tryouts.

Cheryl's pov:

I was in the gym about to begin tryouts when she walked in. She had on the Vixens uniform that looked amazing on her. My breath hitched in my throat. I was finally pulled out of my daze by Betty.

"Cheryl what are you staring at?"

"Oh nothing cousin"

Veronica elbowed my shoulder and jokingly said "Toni Topaz huh?"

Toni walked over and asked "Can I tryout?"

"S- Sure, uh yeah y-you can" I nervously said

Veronica and Betty laughing in the corner. They knew I've had a crush on her for a few months now, but I've never worked up the guts to ask her out.

After a few people went it was finally Toni's turn.

I started the music and she started dancing, energetically. Maybe a little too energetically because none of us was prepared for what came next.

Toni's pov:

"Can I try out?" I said walking up to Cheryl

"S- Sure, uh yeah y-you can" she said. Rather nervous. She didn't think I noticed but I did.

I started dancing, half way in I started breathing really heavy, my chest started to hurt and I got dizzy. I knew I should've stopped but I wanted to keep going.

To complete my bucket list but mostly to impress Cheryl. There was this stabbing pain in my head telling me to stop dancing but I didn't listen. I finished the song and instantly regretted starting in the first place.

Everything started fading away and I felt like I was drowning. It felt like someone, something was holding me underwater. But there was no water. I collapsed. I heard voices yelling at me to wake up but I couldn't move. "Toni!" the voices faded and I blacked out.

Cheryl's pov:

I rushed over to her after she passed out. So did Betty, Veronica, Tina and Ginger. "Toni? Wake up!" I said as I held her close .

By then Betty had already got principle Weatherbee and he had called her mom, who called 911.

Her mom heard of what she did and knew that her daughter was probably dead.

"She's done this before, we told her not to, she can't tire herself out!"

Her mom yelled rushing into the gym with the paramedics. Why, why can't she tire herself out i thought.

"All clear!" I heard them yell as they shocked her chest. "No" i said quietly, was she dead?

"All clear!" They yelled as they shocked her again. "No pulse"

"She has a heart dysfunction, 9 months to live" her mom cried. Everyone in the gym heard and knew how sick she was. I wanted to help. I wanted to give her an amazing 9 months but we barley knew each other.

"We're calling it. Time of death 4:34 pm"

My heart shattered.

"No! Try it again" her mom yelled

And they did.

"We have a pulse! Get her on the stretcher"

I had hope and so did her mother.

I didn't even think as I blurted these next words out. I knew they wouldn't let me, I just wanted to help her.

"Can I go too?" I yelled. Everyone looked at me. "Yeah, sure come on honey" said her mom. I was honestly shocked. I followed her mom. Betty and Veronica shouted "Take care of her" as I walked out. I looked back and gave them a thumbs up before walking to the parking lot.

"Can you drive my car?" Her mom said "I know its weird I just need to go with Toni in the ambulance" I didn't want to waste any time. Toni's dying I thought. "Of course" I said grabbing the keys from her mom's hand. And with that the ambulance pulled off, me in Toni's mom's car following.
