Faked Rivalry (Choni)

10. Sleepover Secrets

how long can i keep going with the alliteration titles

Previously (Toni's POV): "If Cheryl's as serious as she sounds Betty is in serious danger. We've gotta go" Jughead responded as we all headed out. Nobody was particularly happy to be spending a Sunday night going out to the middle of a forest. But Betty was always so kind to all of us. Jughead cared about her so much. So we all went anyways.

Toni's POV:
"Alright Betty just texted and said she's on her way"
"Oh okay cool. The movie is almost finished. Sorry for making you make the popcorn" Cheryl laughed
"No worries! I mean you just got out of the hospital I wasn't even going to argue." I laughed back.

Soon enough Betty burst through the door.
"Hey Choni I'm here!" Betty yelled
"Betty it's like 10:50 how are you so energetic" Cheryl yawned
"It's a sleepover cousin!" Betty replies
"Yeah but it's also school tomorrow" I agreed with Cheryl
"Okay fine that's true, how about we sleep around 4 then" Betty suggested
"Sounds good" I responded and Cheryl nodded.

"Alright first sleepover game.." Betty thought
"You better not do truth or dare" I stared at her
"I can't think of anything then. What about we just spill a bunch of random stuff." Betty said
"Why not" Cheryl replied
"Alright let's start then" I stated, gesturing at Betty to go first.
"Uh let me think. Oh I know! So I don't if you remember this Cheryl but in third grade when you kissed Archie.."
"Of course I remember! I vomited straight after!" Cheryl laughed and so did I
"Yeah so anyways I was secretly jealous of you because I liked Archie" Betty shyly said as Cheryl and I laughed.
"I always thought you did! Is that why you two got distant?" Cheryl asked
"Probably. Probably because when I finally admitted it he liked Veronica. I actually hated her in the beginning of getting to know her." Betty stated
"Sounds like Toni and I" Cheryl said
"I didn't hate you, I just thought you were rude." I replied
"Oh well I did. Sorry." Cheryl apologised
"Shouldn't have to apologise, just as long as you don't still feel that way." I responded
"I don't." Cheryl stated
"Anyways Betty continue on you and Veronica" I said
"Yeah. Like how you two stare at each other like you're in love all the time." Cheryl replied
"Well I got to know her and she was actually pretty cool and nice now we're best friends. I don't really know if I feel more for her, I do love Jughead." Betty continued
"I wouldn't care either way if that's somewhat holding you back" I stated
"It's not you Toni. I just haven't really figured it out. But thanks, I wouldn't want to loose our friendship." Betty replied and I smiled
"Whatever you do decide cousin I'll support you. You supported me, and honestly there's just a way where either men don't feel attractive or women feel attractive aswell. I mean I knew since that year 3 kiss." Cheryl said and Betty nodded. Sweetpea had said Cheryl was a lesbian but I guess confirmation was good.
"Both of you know my secrets, what about you Toni?" Cheryl asked
"Well mine isn't funny or dramatic but I guess I'll tell you." I said, thinking of telling them about my parents and uncle.
(copied and pasted from chapter 5)
"My mother died when I was 12 and I never knew my father. My mother said he used to be a kind person but then drugs got the better of him, she probably shouldn't have told me that considering I was 10 but it makes more sense now. My uncle was also abusive and when I told him I was bisexual he kicked me out and just left me with the Serpents. I'm glad he did though, anything would have been better then the treatment he gave me. One accidental knock of a glass and I get a trip to the hospital. The serpents were the closest thing I've had to a family since my mum." I explained
"Wow Toni, I don't know what to say. I'm so sorry and I guess I shouldn't have been so upset when I told you my story" Cheryl leaned over to hug me.
"Toni, that was really brave actually. I'm sorry though." Betty said, also leaning into the hug. We stayed in our same position for a few seconds before I said "It's alright. But on a side note.." I said, lighting the mood with a energetic tone. "I once kissed Jughead before he met you Betty, we were like 15 and it was super weird. But still a kind of funny experience." I said and everyone laughed.
"I bet the hobo wasn't even a good kisser" Cheryl said, sounding a little jealous
"Ooh someones jealous. Also that's my boyfriend" Betty nudged Cheryl, receiving an annoyed glare back.
"Yeah it's perfectly fine Cher Bear. Doesn't mean anything to me" I said sarcastically
"I hate both of you." Cheryl replied with a flat tone
"Not Toni though" Betty winked.
——————————————————

We stayed up the rest of the night talking, laughing and eating. When it was around 3:30 AM we decided of go to bed. Betty fell asleep almost instantly as Cheryl turned over to whisper something to me.
"Toni.." she whispered
"What is it Cheryl?" I whispered back
"I know this might be a bit childish but you know how Penny said nobody cared.." she started sobbing "D-do you?" She stuttered
"Woah woah woah, of course I do!" I whispered back. "Cheryl, when I'm with you it's like I no longer have to be HBIC, I no longer have to hide things and I laugh more then I usually would! Of course I care about you." I replied
"T-thanks. I just needed some confirmation.." she whispered back "Also, where's the bathroom." She wiped her tears.
"It's this way, let me get you a tissue to wipe them." I walked into the bathroom, turning on the light and grabbing a tissue. I turned around and Cheryl was right in front of me. The door was now shut. I was a little startled but I just wiped her tears. I put the tissue down and we started into each other's eyes, almost silently asking each other if it was alright. We both then leaned in for the kiss but before our lips could meet each other's we both flinched back away from each other as Betty opened the door yelling "Turn off the light you shitheads!" Betty saw the positions we were both in "Oh geez. I'm sorry. Uh, continue.." she said. Closing the door and going back to bed.
"I'll go to bed. See ya later Cheryl." I replied. I had wanted to kiss her ever since our first one at the truth or dare game. It seemed now she was finally ready that Betty had to ruin it. Either way, I was still tired and fell asleep pretty quickly.

A/N: Tried to make it like a El & Mike Dustin bathroom walk in scene. So picture that if you don't see it. Made it sorta stereotypical though. Anyways see y'all soon again. Thanks for over 200 reads btw, really didn't expect anything.
