Into the unknown (Choni)

Chapter Nineteen

Toni's POV
I haven't gotten much sleep but I've gotten better. I think it might be because I saw my uncle for the first time in forever then the people who are supposed to be my parents are here, it's all a lot to handle. I want to drink so bad but I said I wouldn't and I don't want Veronica going down that path again with me. The students decided to boycott the school until some rearranging happens. If that takes days or weeks, we won't be in school.
Cheryl I still asleep so I'm on my phone while she wraps her arms arms my waist "Baby you barley slept" Cheryl says in her sleepy voice that I love so much "I'm fine" I tell her "Go to sleep" she tells me "I'm not tired" I told her which is true I'm not that tired "Toni. Lay down in this bed right now" she demands and I lay down and kiss her face "Now sleep baby" she says and I kiss her nose "I'll try" I say and then I try to sleep again.
It didn't work that good but I got at least another house of sleep.
"Toni get you ass outside bitch" I hear Veronica say at the door so I walk outside "What bitch" I ask "Put some shoes on we're playing basketball" she tells me. I could of guessed that since North, Jay and Veronica were all here with basketballs in their arms. I put some shorts on and throw on my basketball shoes then follow them to the basketball court.

"Ready to lose" V asks them "We don't have our whole team so we have a chance" Jay says and I laugh "You team does suck ass" I laugh "Are we playing or talking?" North says throwing me the ball a little aggressively "Oh so we're playing like that?" I smirk and we start the 2v2.
The whole game North has been flirty/aggressive with me and it's pretty normal when she plays basketball so I don't think about it and we crush them only by 3 pointer that Veronica made last minute but we still won.
"We should really start betting on these games" V says drinking her water "I'm not giving any money to you Lodge" North tells her "Why not" V whines like a child "You're already rich bitch" she laughs and V shrugs her shoulders and nods. We stay on the basketball court and just talk. V, North and Jay are talking but they are away from me so I can't hear and I feel left out so I decide to sneak up on them and listen in "Are you seriously going to tell her now?" V asks North "This could ruin y'all's friendship" Jay tells her "I don't know. I'm tired of holding it in though" North tells them "She's taken" V tells her "Stop reminding me" North says "You could of done this a year ago or two years ago even a few months ago but you decide to do this now?" V asks "I can't control it" North tells her "Are you telling her or not?" Jay asks and I decide that I've already listened to the conversation might as well join "Tell me what?" I ask walking towards them and North looks down "How long were you listening?" Veronica asks me "Long enough now what's up?" I ask and they look at North "Well she already knows so might as well tell her" Jay tells her "Fine umm" North hesitates "Can y'all leave?" North asks them and they go but I see V and Jay looking around the corner but North can't see them "So what is it that they don't want you to tell me?" I ask North and she looks down "Umm" she sighs "North come on. We've been friends for like ever. Nothing will ruin our friendship" I tell her and she takes a deep breath and looks up at me "I...like you" she says and I just stare at her "I have for a while but I just held it in" she says "I'm with Cheryl. North" I say "Yes I know" she says sadly "Why didn't you tell me this before?" I ask "I didn't know how" she tells me and she looks up at me. This won't ruin our friendship because I love her too much as a friend to lose her over this. I don't know what to say so I just look at her while she looks at me. She grabs my face and quickly connects our lips, my body won't move for a few seconds then I pull her away from me "I'm sorry" She says and runs to her sibling who was watching everything, I have a shocked look on my face because I have no idea what just happened. "You okay?" V asks me "Cheryl" I say and that's all I can think about is Cheryl "You didn't cheat. She kissed you, you didn't kiss back and you pushed her away" Veronica tells me "Want to go?" She asks and I shake my head knowing that Cheryl is at my house. "Let's play basketball" I say and we go back to the court. Jay and North are there and I sigh "You two want to play?" I ask and they look at me weird "I said nothing would ruin our friendship so do you want to lose or what?" I smile and North slightly smiles and they get up. "You ready to lose?" Jay asks us and we pass them the ball.
In this game we are tied the whole game so we decide to call it quits and we all go home. I get to my house and Cheryl is still there, I go inside and she's playing video games with Fangs and Sweetpea is sleep on the couch "Hey baby" Cheryl smiles and guilt runs over me even though I didn't do anything. I watch them play the game for a while then we eat dinner then Cheryl tries I make me go to sleep. I'm trying to sleep but I have the kiss on my mind "North kissed me" I say quickly and Cheryl let's go of me and sits up "What?" She asks and I can hear the sadness in her voice "She said she liked me. I said I was dating you. She kissed me and I pushed her away then we played basketball" I say quickly again "Did you kiss back?" She asks "No of course not" I tell her and she sighs "Okay good" she says "Your not mad?" I ask and she shakes her head no "I love you" I tell her "I love you too" she smiles and kisses my head "Now go to sleep baby" she says and I try to sleep.
I get at least three hours of sleep then I'm on my phone.

It's morning and Fangs and Sweetpea are on edge too "Do you want to go see them?" Cheryl asks the three of us "What?" Sweetpea asks "Do you want to go see your parents?" Cheryl says "How did you know that's what is bothering us?" Fangs ask her "If I just met my parents for the first time in years I would be on edge too" she says "Come on get dressed" Cheryl says like we're children "This time we won't have a gang of people at their house" Cheryl smiles and we all get dressed.

"I spoke too soon" Cheryl sighs seeing all the cars in my parents driveway "Who is all here?" Cheryl asks me "We needed support" Fangs says "Whos here?" She asks again "The triplets, Jughead, Veronica, Betty and Kevin" I smile and she sighs "You brought a gang" she says "But they are our friends and Noah and Mary know most of them" Sweetpea says "Fine" Cheryl says and we all get out the car and knock on the door. There are so many of us that we don't all fit on the porch.
"Hey children, friends and lovers of children" Mary smiles and let's us in "Ooh what's that smell" Caleb asks "I'm baking" Noah says from the kitchen "What is it?" Jughead asks, Caleb and Jughead's hungry asses went into the kitchen. "So we have games over there for you all" Mary tells us "Thanks Mary" I say and she smiles.
"You brought Cheryl and North to the same house!!" Veronica whisper yells at me "Cheryl is fine and so is North. No unnecessary drama" I tell her and she nods "Fine" she says and we go back to the group. Fangs, Sweetpea, Jay and I are playing the TV game and the others are playing bored games "Food is ready! Get some before Jug and Caleb eat it all" Mary calls out and we all get up and sit at the table "This is good" Betty smiles at the people. I don't really want to call them my parents yet or ever.
"Thank you Betty" Noah smiles at her. Noah made something that looks like pie but it's not pie, it's...I don't know but it's good. "So let's get to know each other" Mary smiles "We will start with Kevin" She says, I'm guessing since she's just meeting him now. "Ohh um I'm Kevin, I'm dating Fangs and I'm uhh gay?" He says and we all laugh at him "Yes we know that Kevin" Veronica says and he shrugs "I'm Fangs and I like this food" Fangs says "Stop saying your names we know who you are" Cheryl laughs "I'm Sweetpea" he sticks his tongue out at Cheryl "And I like video games" he says "I'm Jughead and I want more food" He says seriously and Noah gets up to get him more food "I'm Caleb and I do too" he smiles and Noah gets him food too and we laugh "I'm Jay, and I'm non binary I don't know don't quote me" they say nervously and we laugh "I'm North and I don't know" she says and we all laugh again. This is funny just seeing my friends get nervous to say who they are when we all know them "I'm Veronica and I'm bi?" V says "I'm Betty and I'm pan" Betty says "I'm Cheryl and I'm lesbian" she says proudly "What's with y'all saying your sexualities" I say "Uh I'm Toni and I play basketball" I say and everyone just looks at each other and we start laughing "I'm Noah and I like to bake" he says "I'm Mary and I'm happy every one is here" she smiles and Cheryl and Betty say awww. I kiss Cheryl and we all go back to eating.
