The Secrets We Keep: A Choni Story

Chapter 18

Toni's POV
Then it hit me. I royally messed up she's never going to forgive me. Here goes nothing.

"Disregard everything I just said, I need to go back to Greendale," I blurted out.

"Why?" Cheryl asked confused.

"That's where I got the potion, maybe they can remove the blood lust and let me keep all the perks," I said playfully showing my fangs, "We good?"

"Do you still love me?" she retorts.

"Of course, princess, I never will stop," I smile.

"Then we're good, TT," she says kissing me.

"Can I come this time?" she asked.

"Sure! Let's go to my trailer and get my bike," I said.

"But may I ask who they are?" Cheryl asked.

"They are the Spellmans they're witches and they gave me the potion and made the promise ring that you're not wearing," I said sadly.

"I don't know where it is," Cheryl said truthfully.

"It was next to the letter in my trailer," I explained.

"Oh, I didn't see it, let's get going," she said.

Cheryl's POV
"Okay, I'm going to run instead of taking your car, it'll be quicker," Toni said.

"How is running going to be faster than a car?" I asked confused.

"It's another perk of being a vampire I can run really fast," she explained.

"Okay," I said as she picked me up.

Toni ran to her trailer and we arrived within a matter of seconds.

"Wow," I said in awe.

"I know right that's why I want to keep the powers," she said.

"I see, but why not just run to Greendale?" I asked.

"I missed my bike, go inside and get the promise ring and then we'll go," she instructed.

"Okay," I said as she put me down.

I walked into the trailer and looked to where I found the letter and low and behold there was the ring.

I was about to pick up the ring when a wave of memories of the day Toni died ran through my mind. I felt that pain in my heart again, and I collapsed on the floor crying.

"Hey, Cher what's takin- woah Cher what's wrong?" Toni asked as she ran to my side.

"I-I just thought you were g-gone," I sobbed into her shoulder.

"Cheryl I'm not going anywhere, not ever again," she reassured.

Toni stood up and got the promise ring off of the counter and got on one knee.

"Toni, what are you doing?" I asked standing up.

"I think that I need to add some promises, so on top of the promises I made when I first gave you this," she took a deep breath, "I promise to tell you the truth. I promise to never put you in harm's way. I promise to treat you better. I promise to talk to you about my problems and I promise to never try and leave you again." she said putting the ring on my finger.

"I love you, Toni," I said as she stood up.

"I love you, Cheryl, more than words can describe," she smiled.

"So let's get going," I said.

"Let's," she answered.

We walked out of the trailer hand in hand Toni got on her motorbike and I got on behind her and wrapped my arms around her, which was a feeling I didn't know I missed.
