Into the unknown (Choni)

Chapter Thirteen

Toni's POV
It's been a day since we got to Lodge lodge, ever since we have been to the waterfall Betty and Cheryl have been acting all weird. They keep avoiding Veronica and I's questioning and they aren't spending a lot of time with us as we would of thought.
I'm sitting on the couch with Veronica and we are watching youtube on her phone, we have been doing this a lot since our girlfriend won't speak to us much.
Cheryl, Betty and Kevin come into the house laughing with each other and with shopping bags in their hands. Veronica, Fangs and I didn't want to wake up early or go to the mall so we stayed here. Kevin kisses Fangs but Cheryl and Betty just walk past us, we haven't seen them at all today since they left early to go to the mall. Kevin and Fangs obviously notice this and Kevin gives us a look then leave with my brother. "Betty" Veronica starts "Cheryl" I add "Yes" they say at the same time "Why are y'all acting like we aren't here?" I ask and they look at each other "We know you're here" Cheryl says "You're acting weird" Veronica tells them "Your acting weird" Betty defends "Can we talk please" I ask and they sit down "What?" Cheryl asks kinda harshly but I ignore it "You haven't kissed us in 24 hours, you have barley spoken to us and you're acting like we don't exist and that you're not dating us" Veronica says "Separation problems?" Betty asks "Betty were serious" I tell her "Do you two not like us anymore?" I ask "Us it's always us" Cheryl starts "Never you two separate. Always the both of you together" Betty finishes. Veronica and I look at each other and nod "Your jealous?" I ask "No" Cheryl says "Then why can't it be us. We are best friends" Veronica says "How about you two just date" Betty tells us and we look disgusted by those words "I already have a girlfriend" I say "Not when you like someone else" Cheryl says "I don't like anyone else but you" I tell her and she rolls her eyes "You and Veronica were all cuddly yesterday" Cheryl says. That's why they won't talk to us? They're jealous of me and my best friend, I would never dare Veronica. "We can't cuddle now?!" Veronica says raising her voice "You two cuddle" I defend "We're cousins!!" Betty says "So?!" I say raising my voice like Veronica "I don't like Toni" Veronica says "And I don't like Veronica" I add and "Tell that to your arms around her. That was out thing" Cheryl says loudly sounding like she was on the verge of tears "I'm sorry" I say "I didn't think about it like that" I tell her "You don't think at fucking all" she yells "Cheryl" I say trying to stay calm. I hate when people yell at me. "No fuck this. I'm not a toy for you to play with and put to the side when you get done" Cheryl says "Cheryl we don't like each other!!" Veronica yells trying to gain her attention "Stop defending her!!" Betty yells at Veronica who flips back on the couch in defeat "I can't do fucking anything" Veronica says "What's the supposed to mean!?" Betty asks "Nothing" V says loudly "Stop fucking yelling!!" I yell "Are you okay?" Veronica asks me and I nod "Oh yea check up on your girlfriend" Betty says "She's not my-" V takes a deep breath "Can we talk about this privately" she says "Cheryl can we go outside and talk?" And she gets up and goes outside.

"Why are you being so jealous" I ask "I'm not fucking jealous!" She says "Then what are you?" I ask her "You seem to care more about Veronica then you do me. You always seem happier with her, you two have been together forever and I can't compete with that" she yells "I don't want you to compete with her!!" I tell her and she looks down "Toni...I think we should just take a break" she tells me quietly "What? No" I say and she shakes her head "We need to take a break" she says louder then before "Why are you being so fucking jealous!!" I yell "Because you like her. I'm not a second option. Fuck this. We're done" she yells and I start getting angrier than I was before.
"You really want to break up" I say angrily and she nods "Fine. Fuck this" I tell her going back inside. I'm not staying here, I storm into the cabin and slam the door to the room I slept in with Cheryl. I start packing my stuff because I'm not staying here any longer. Veronica comes in the room "Did y'all break up too?" She asks and I nod my head with tears running down my face, she starts crying too "We're leaving in an hour...I'll go pack" Veronica says leaving the room. Fangs comes in my room "Where are you going?" He asks "We're leaving in an hour. You and Kevin need to pack" I tell him "Do you want to tal-" I cut him off "Go fucking pack" I say looking up at him with red eyes and tears still flowing down my face.

We get into the car, it's pretty silent. Betty and Cheryl are in the very back, Fangs and Kevin in the middle and Veronica and I in the front. We start driving and the whole way back to Riverdale no one speaks.

Veronica drops Betty and Cheryl off first, it was a lot of back and forth driving but she didn't want to be left in the car with them. I get home and Sweetpea and Jughead are in the living room "Hey y'all are back early" Jughead says and Fangs starts doing the "don't say anything" movement with his hand "What's wrong?" Sweetpea asks and I go to my room and slam the door. I hear the boys talking but I don't care enough to listen.

Cheryl's POV
I walk inside my house and my mom is at the kitchen counter doing some work, I start to cry and my mom immediately starts holding me.
It's been a few minutes, my mom is holding me silently. "What's wrong?" She asks "We broke up" I sob and she holds me tighter "Want to talk about it?" She asks and I shake my head no.
I've been in my room laying on my bed for the whole day, my mom sits on my bed with my dinner "Want to talk now?" She asks and I nod "What happened" she asks and I take a deep breath trying not to cry even more "She was holding Veronica like she holds me and I know she has some type of feelings for her then the four of us got into an argument about it and we all broke up" I tell her "Betty and V broke up too?" My mom asks and I nod my head "I'm sorry Cher" she tells me and kisses my forehead.
For the rest of the day I stay in my room and sleep and eat. I don't know how I'm going to be in the same school or class as Toni tomorrow, I decided I'm not going to practise tomorrow because that's too much to handle.
