Toni's Pov

*1 week later*

Every single day I waited. Those 7 painful days where I was stuck in a hospital bed for up to 23 hours a day... I waited. Waited for Cheryl to come back.

I knew I messed up when I kicked her out of the hospital, but she can't blame me, I was still on drugs and had lost my memory. Plus all I knew of her at that time is that she was a stone cold bitch to me at school, I mean, how would she expect me to react when I found out, with or without memory.

But I never thought she would give up that easily.... I mean she was the person that saved my life twice and risked her home life to let me on the Vixens... hell she even slept in my hospital room waiting for me. Then just one little blow up and she was gone.

Fangs found my phone the day after the argument, and the first thing I did was read through all of my messages with Cheryl in the past, letting all the memories flood back to me. Laughing at all the times I was an idiot and didnt realise it was her when it was so obvious, and crying at all the times I insulted her without knowing. It made me realise how big of a bitch I was being, and why she probably didnt want to see me.

Every single day of the week I woke up and texted her, trying to get her to come see me or even message me, but every single time I got no reply.

Wednesday 11:42 am

Toni: Hey Cheryl.. its me, Toni. I'm so..so sorry for how I acted Yesterday, It wasnt right for me to do that, but I was still on drugs for the pain and my memory was phased, so i didnt know what was going on. Now I've had time to think... and remember everything, and it just puts me in more and more pain for what I said to you. Every time I think of when I was horrible to you it puts me in unbearable pain. I didnt know what you were going through and I'm sorry for that. Just please, come back to the hospital so we can talk this out in person.

Thursday 10:39 am

Toni: Its me... Toni again. I miss being able to message you. It was such a stress relief. I felt like I could tell you anything in the world and you wouldnt judge me, or tell anyone. I could trust you with my life, which I was right to do so...you know after you saved my life twice, which I am so so so thankful for. I wish you had told me who you were earlier, then maybe things could have been different. We could be friends. Just please...reply to me.

Friday 9:17

Toni: Surprise... Toni again. I don't get why you arent replying to me Cheryl. I made one little mistake that has put me in an unimaginable amount of... anger.... sadness... depression. I need you now more than ever.. someone to talk to. You just disappeared. You helped me when I thought there was no goodness left in the world. But you changed that.. you are the goodness in the world. I know this sounds cheesy, but I mean it. Please come back.

Saturday 10:48 am

Toni: I miss you...

Sunday 9:20 am

Toni: Are you Ok? I just want to message you... you dont even have to come see me.

Yesterday 11:35 pm

Toni: I cant sleep, please just message me. I know we were never that close friends in real life, but Im worried about you. Your such a kind hearted person really, just please. All I need is a hi.

Today 1:05 pm

Toni: I'm getting out of hospital today, I want to come see you, to apologise, because i really am sorry Cheryl. I get it if you want to go back to being a hater of the serpents and someone who hates me. But all I ask for is one more chance, one more chance to show you that I care. Im sorry. Really.

Most of my cuts had healed during the time I was in hospital, my stomach was still stitched up and bruised, but it was good enough to let me go home. The doctors told me to try and rest as much as I could, but I couldn't be more ready to be up and on my feet. Besides, there was no rest for the strong.

I got up out of my bed and slipped on my serpent jacket, which now had a permanent scent of cherry embedded into the material, obviously the smell of Cheryls perfume. I took one last deep breath of the cherry essence and picked up my bag and started to make my way out of the hospital and back into reality. I was too weak to ride my bike still and I wanted to go to try and find Cheryl instead of going home, so I couldnt get a lift from Sweetpea or Fangs, so walking was the only answer.

While walking the streets of The Northside, I made sure to stop off at a flower shop to buy roses in Cheryls signature colour, Red, so I had some way of apologising to her if talking didnt work. Once I was finished getting the roses, I started heading towards Cheryls house. No.. I'm not a stalker, she just obviously owns the biggest house in Riverdale.

I finally reached the front door and took a deep breath before knocking twice and waiting patiently. I heard footsteps coming down the stairs and the locks on the door slowly clicking open. The door swung open, and I expected to see Cheryl, but a middle aged woman pulled open the door.

"Hey.. Umm. Is Cheryl home?" The redheaded woman looked me up and down, her eyes widening at the sight of my leather jacket.

"No.. she isnt. She hasnt been and wont be for a while, not that its a southsider like yours concern. Now get the hell off my property before I call the police." She screamed at me while I stood infront of her doorstep.

"I..um-." The door was slammed in my face, causing me to stumble back slightly.

Something was up in that house.
