Cheryl gets jealous because she gets sent or sees a picture of Toni and her ex together. Cheryl freaks out.

Authors note:
I hope this is okay. I hope you are happy with it. I'm not sure if it's very clear in the chapter, but they don't live together. It may seem like they do but they don't.

Toni's POV

Cheryl and I were curled up on her couch. I had been at her house since school. I had my arms wrapped around her. I had tried to get her to let go of me so I could leave, because I was going to meet a friend. Every single time, her response would be "five more minutes?" and obviously I could never say no to her. At least I struggled to. Except now time was getting on and if I didn't go soon I'd be late to meet that friend.

"Baby, I really have to go this time." I said as I pushed Cheryl's arms off of me.

"I'll miss you." She stated as I put my coat on. I bent down and placed a kiss on her cheek before talking back.

"Not as much as I'll miss you." I quickly waved goodbye and headed out to my bike, putting my helmet on my head.

My friend's name is Becky. We dated for like a month a few years ago, back when I used to go to Southside High. Seems like forever ago. It never worked out. We were too different and we both accepted that and promised to stay friends.

Cheryl had asked before about my last relationship and I told her Becky's name. I never showed her what she looked like, but I explained it all to Cheryl. I didn't think she would need to see what she looked like. I knew Cheryl found relationships hard so I wanted to avoid anything that could cause a problem.

I was meeting with Becky at some place that's just outside of Riverdale. It was this small restaurant that we went to once or twice a while back. I will admit, I was excited to meet her, only because after the break up we stayed good friends and I didn't want to lose that.

When I finally arrived at the place I was almost five minutes late. I saw Becky and gave her a hug. I apologised for being late and she told me not to worry about it. We sat down at a table and made our order.

"Its nice to see you again, Toni." She said.

"Yeah. It's nice to see you again too. I mean...We haven't talked in ages." I added.

"Exactly. So how has life been?" Becky asked.

"Good. School has been stressful recently, but other than that, things have been fine."

"Oh same. And you moved to Riverdale High didn't you? How was that, first moving there?" She questioned.

"Hard. Nobody really liked the serpents at first. Now people weren't bothered by it anymore." As I spoke, I thought back to when Cheryl called me 'Queen of the Buskers'.

"And have you met anybody special there?" She added another question.

"What's with all the questions? Tell me about yourself."

"Just answer this last one, then I promise I'll catch you up on my life." Becky responded.

"Fine. If you must know...there is someone special."

"Oooohhhh. Is this person a he, she or they?" She replied.

"A she. And she is incredible. She is beautiful and kind and talented and amazing...She's stunning...Did I already said that she's incredible?" I explained. I was getting lost in my words and thoughts of Cheryl.

"Yes you did." There was a brief pause. "Can I see a picture of her?" Becky continued.

"Sure." I said, grabbing my phone out to find a picture of Cheryl.

"She's cute." I gently pushed her arm.

"Only I get to call her cute." I said. "But yes she is. Very cute."

"Wow. She's got you whipped, Topaz." Becky said.

"Whatever." I slid my phone back into my pocket, blushibg a little bit. "So tell me about you. I feel like it's just been me talking. Tell me everything that I've missed."

I listened to her as she said how her school was. She told me about her boyfriend and she told me how her family was.

~little bit later~

"Selfie?" Becky asked.

"Sure." I said, getting ready as she put her phone in position. I stayed still until I knew it was safe. She pulled her phone down to look at it. It was a good photo.

"Now I just gotta tag you. There we go. It's on my Instagram." She stated.

Cheryl's POV

I was lonely without Toni. I had spent some of the time without her watching some shows, but soon got bored and missed having Toni's arms wrapped around me.

I had gone downstairs and made myself food. I sat there, eating it slowly.

I chose to go on Instagram. I began scrolling through posts. I then decided to check what Toni was tagged in or what she's posted. I do that sometimes when she's gone, whether it be work or something else. It may seem a bit weird, but I like to know what she's doing and how long it might be until she comes back.

I felt a wave of shock flow over my body as I saw the most recent post she was tagged in. I recognised the name of the account instantly. Toni hadn't told me who she was meeting. Maybe she forgot or maybe she didn't want to tell me who it was, but I was surprised to see the name Becky.

As I looked at the picture, I studied everything about Becky. I took notice of her blond hair and her blue eyes. I saw that she appeared to be a bit taller than Toni.

My mind filled with questions. What if they are getting back together? It so using surprise me. She was pretty, so why wouldn't Toni leave me? What if when they were talking that Toni remembered her feelings for Becky and brushed the ones for me off? What if Toni doesn't like me anymore? What if she decides to break up with me?

I felt tears collecting in my eyes. I ran to my bedroom and threw myself under the covers as the door closed loudly behind me. I cried into the pillow. Obviously Toni would leave me for her. I'm nothing. I'm worthless. I'm ugly. She would be better off without me. All I do is bring her down.

~some time later~

I was still crying into my pillow when I heard the door downstairs open and close.

"Cheryl? Babe. I'm back." I heard Toni yell. I didn't answer. I didn't know what to say. I knew what she was going to do and I wasn't ready to let go, to say goodbye. "Cher? Baby, where are you?" She called and I listened. I heard footsepts making their way upstairs. I made sure the blanket was completely over me.

I heard my bedroom door open. I knew she would be able to tell that I was hiding under the blanket.

"Cher, come out from under there." She laughed. I felt the blanket lower and my eyes soon met with hers. "Oh my god, Cheryl. What's wrong? Why have you been crying?" She asked.

"I saw the picture of you with your ex, Becky. You seemed happy. So...if...if you are going t-to end things then...do it quick." I was stuttering after every word.

"Why would I want to do that?" She said.

"Because I'm nothing. She could make you much happier than I can or have." I mumbled, tears till flowing. I felt Toni's hand on my cheek, catching the tears as they fell. I looked away from, her hand still resting on my face. I didn't want to stare into her eyes. Not when she's about to end things between us.

"You're not nothing. You're amazing. She is a good friend and that's it." Toni replied.

"But she could still make you happier."

"No she couldn't. Because I am happy right here. I'm happy with you and only you." Toni said. My eyes connected with hers once more.

"Really?" I said, the tears slowing down.

"Really. I swear, I don't want to end things between us."

"Okay. Good." I stated. I grabbed her hand with mine. "I'm sorry, TT. I just go so scared. Everyone in my life has left me." I explained.

"Not me. I'm staying right here. I am not going to leave you Cheryl. Not ever." Toni said, tightening the grip between our hands. Her other one fell from my cheek because I had finally stopped crying. I leaned in to kiss her and felt relieved as our lips touched. After a moment or two she pulled away.

"And just so you know, she has a boyfriend, and she is very much in love with him. Just like I am with you." She said. I froze. Did she just say what I think she said?

"What? You what? Did you j-" She cut me off.

"Yes I did. I love you, Cheryl Blossom."

"I love you too, Toni." I grinned.
