Cheryl's POV
So Toni told me what the therapist said about Dalton, and since then, her, Hobo, Bride of Hobo and I have been trying to figure out who it could be. Betty and Jug said that they'd have the most probable person by today.

I arrived at the Blue and Gold and found everyone already there, waiting for me.

"Finally, took you long enough," Betty sighed, closing the door.

"Yeah, yeah just get on with it," I retorted.

"So um, from the information you've given us and our intuition we've concluded that the person that drugged Dalton was…" Hobo trailed off.

"We haven't got all day, Jug come on!" Toni exclaimed.

"Cheryl you might wanna sit down," Betty warned.

"For heaven's sake just tell us already!" I yelled.

"It was Heather," Jughead blurted out.

Heather? No, there had to be some kind of mistake. Or maybe another Heather, that's a popular name.

I turned my head to Toni whose calm face had contorted into one of rage, in one swift move she was off the table and out the door. I ran after her afraid of what she might do.

Toni's POV
I was absolutely fuming, this one little girl thought she could come into my life and take everything away from me, absolutely not.

I ran out of the Blue and Gold fists clenched. I turned the corner to see Heather leaning against her locker with her smug smile.

I grabbed a fistful of her shirt and slammed her into the locker relatively hard.

"You think you can go around messing up people's lives, huh?!" I yelled.

Something came over me and I felt my eyes turn red. This could end badly for both of us.

"Nice contacts Topaz," she laughed.

"You drugged him!" I shouted.

"Drugged who?" she smirked.

"Dalton, you bloomin' moron!" I retorted.

"I did no such thing!" she yelled back, seeing Cheryl appear.

"Toni! Stop they must've made a mistake," I heard Cheryl plead.

"Betty and Jug never make mistakes, Cheryl. Never," I sighed, turning my attention back to Heather.

"Where did you get the drugs?!" I asked.

She leaned in and whispered in my ear so only I could hear, "Jesse," she started laughing maniacally.

I slammed her into the lockers one last time before walking off. Cheryl didn't even bother to check if I was okay, she was actually checking on Heather.

I just kept walking, I was still so angry, although I couldn't see them I knew my eyes were still red. I walked out of the large doors and stood there looking at the parking lot trying to calm myself down but nothing was working so I turned around and reeled my arm back and punched the brick wall with all the five I could muster.

"Toni!" I heard a scream, I didn't even have to look to know it was Cheryl.

"What?" I sighed.

"Why the hell did you do that?" she asked, walking up to me and examining my hand.

"Because I needed to release my anger," I replied.

"Toni your eyes," she gasped, finally looking me in the eyes.
