The Secrets We Keep: A Choni Story

Chapter 25

Jason's POV
Ever since I beat up the Serpent scum that Cheryl is dating she rarely talks to me. The Toni girl had just left so I decided to try and talk to Cheryl now.

"Cheryl?" I asked knocking her door.

"Come in," she replied.

"Cheryl, can we talk?" I asked gently.

"About what Jason?" she asked annoyed.

"Cheryl you won't talk to me," I said.

"That's your fault Jason, a lot of things happened while you were gone, Toni and I have been through thick and thin she saved my life, Jason. Don't you understand that?" she questioned.

"I'm sorry, Cheryl, it's just my little sisters growing up," I sighed solemnly.

"Jason you're older than me by 5 minutes," she said.

"That may be but you're my little sister and you're growing up Cheryl," I said.

"I am Jason but that doesn't mean you need to beat up my girlfriend, I love her and I don't care that she's a Serpent and frankly neither should you," she said.

"But Serpents are dan-" I started.

"They are not dangerous, Jason they provide community, Toni spends a lot of time with them after what happened with her and her mom," she explained.

"Communities don't carry around switchblades," I protested.

"Jason, they carry them around because people like you like to beat them up or attack them because they're from the Southside," she sighed.

"What do you mean people like me?" I asked annoyed.

"I mean people like you that attack Serpents unprovoked," she said.

"What do you mean unprovoked?!" I yelled getting up.

"Did you come here to talk or argue?" she asked calmly.

"I'm gonna go get some air, I can't deal with you right now," I said walking out.

I walked down the stairs and out of the house. Cheryl yelled something after me but I couldn't make it out. I was just walking around the Northside aimlessly when some brunette dude approached me.

"Hey, do you know Cheryl Blossom?" he asked.

"I do I'm her twin brother Jason and who might you be?" I asked.

"I'm Nick St Clair," he answered.

"How do you know Cheryl?" I asked.

"I was her boyfriend before that Serpent scum came along," he sighed.

"What do you mean?" I asked intrigued.

"Cheryl and I were dating until that Serpent came along and drugged her to make her gay, she was obsessed and wouldn't leave Cheryl alone," he explained.

"How come Cheryl never told me this?" I asked.

"She doesn't remember, I've tried talking to her, showing her pictures, nothing works they probably wiped her memory," he sighed.

"Who is 'they'?" I asked.

"They are the Serpents that Cheryl's girlfriend hang with," he explained, "I have a plan to get my girlfriend back, do you want help?" he asked.

"Yeah, I don't like the fact that my sister is dating Serpent scum either, she's basically the queen of the Northside," I sighed.

"I agree," he smiled.
