Toni Topaz is a fledgling on the run from her ex-boyfriend Jesse who wants her to go full vampire but that requires her to taste human blood and Toni doesn't want to turn anybody. Once in Riverdale the town's ver...
The next day Toni's POV I woke up and Cheryl wasn't next to me I sat up and looked around and saw that she wasn't in the room.
"Cheryl?" I called out.
"Yeah," she walked into the room.
She looked like she had been crying.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"Uh, yeah," she lied.
"Okay, but if you want to talk I'm here okay?" I asked, "Cheryl if something was bothering you would you tell me?" I asked.
"Of course, I'm really sorry about Jason, Toni," she apologised.
"Cheryl that wasn't your fault, I just hope I don't mess up your relationship with him he's your twin brother after all," I smiled.
She nodded and a doctor came in.
"Miss Topaz, you're awake so your injuries consist of you having 2 broken ribs, a broken nose, and a stab wound but we can discharge you today, just to remind you, you have therapy tomorrow at 11 am," he said.
"Okay, let's go, Cher," I said sitting up.
"Come on, TT," Cheryl said.
I got out of bed and took Cheryl's hand and interlaced our fingers as we walked out of the hospital.
Thistlehouse Cheryl's POV Toni and I quickly went to my room to avoid any interaction with Jason. Jughead had called me when I was at the hospital saying he caught the guy who stabbed Toni. And when he told me who it was it sent shivers down my spine.
"Cheryl?" Toni called.
"Yes, TT," I responded.
"I said, when you came into my hospital room it looked like you were crying so what's wrong?" she asked.
"Jughead he found the guy who stabbed you," I started.
"And?" she asked.
"H-he told m-me that it w-was umm..." I trailed off and started to shake.
"Are you okay?" Toni asked concerned.
"P-panic," I stuttered.
"Okay, look you've been through this before you know what to do, just follow my breathing," she said taking a deep breath.
10 minutes later I had calmed down, so me and Toni were just snuggled up watching a movie.
"Nick St Claire," I blurted out.
"What?" Toni asked turning down the volume on the TV.
"It was Nick St Claire, he stabbed you," I explained.
"Okay, but that doesn't explain why you freaked out earlier," she said.
"I don't want to talk about it," I said.
"Cheryl we're supposed to talk to each other about everything," she pleaded.
"I said I don't want to talk about it! What is so hard to understand about that, Toni?!" I yelled.
I got up and walked into the bathroom and slammed the door.
"Cheryl, I'm sorry," Toni said.
"Did you mean what you said?" I asked.
"What do you mean?" she asked confused.
"When you said that you needed a break, that you couldn't do this, us anymore?" I asked.
"Of course not, Cheryl," she answered immediately.
"Then why, why did you say it?!" I asked angrily.
"Because I didn't know how else to make you believe that I needed to leave, I knew that if I said the whole I'm dangerous speech you wouldn't have bought it," she answered.
"Okay, if you want to know about Nick St Claire call Veronica or Josie," I said.
"Okay, but can you come out?" she asked.
I pulled my knees into my chest and started crying.
"Cheryl, can you move away from the door so I can come in then, please?" she asked.
I shuffled to the side. Toni came in and then I started loudly sobbing.
"Hey, hey it's okay we don't have to talk about it we can just go back and watch the movie how does that sound?" she asked, rubbing my back.
I shook my head.
"Okay, do you want me to stay here and um just uh calm you down?" she asked.
I shook my head again.
"Do you want me to take you to bed and cuddle until we fall asleep?" she asked.
I nodded my head and she picked me up bridal style and I smiled. She walked into the bedroom and gently laid me on the bed, she got in next to me and we cuddled.
"I love you, Cheryl," I heard Toni say.
"I love you too Toni," I replied.
Toni kissed my forehead and then we fell asleep.
The next day Toni's POV I woke up at 9:30 am and I had Cheryl entangled in me. I carefully manoeuvred to get out of bed and not wake Cheryl up. I had a shower and got dressed and it was 10:25 so I decided to get some Pop's to pass the time. I wrote Cheryl a note to tell her where I was and went downstairs. I walked out of the house and hopped on my bike and rode to Pop's.
"Hi Pop can I get a chocolate milkshake, a cheeseburger and fries please?" I ordered.
"Sure Toni, that'll be ten minutes," he responded.
While I was waiting for my food, my phone rang it was Jughead.
"Hey, Jug, what's up?" I answered.
"The ghoulies are back," he responded.
"Are they dealing again?" I asked.
"No, but I have a feeling they're going to do something worse," he said.
"Like what?" I asked intrigued.
"I don't know, but there's a meeting at the Whyte Wyrm at 10 pm," he informed.
"Okay, I'll be there," I replied, "Jug, what did you do with Nick St Claire after you found out he stabbed me?" I asked
"I threw him in the basement of the Whyte Wyrm, and he's been there since why?" he said.
"Because I want to talk to him I guess I'll to him after the Serpent meeting then," I sighed.
"Alright, talk to you later, Tiny," he said and hung up.
"Here's your food Toni," Pop's said as he came to my table.
"Thanks, Pop," I replied with a warm smile.
I quickly ate my food and rode to the hospital's therapy ward. While I waited I decided to text Ronnie.
