A/N: I really don't want Choni to be over. They're probably my favorite couple on Riverdale. Yes. even more than Bughead. So, this is a reaction fic to American Dreams. I really hope this isn't the end of Cheryl and Toni. I hope you enjoy.
Without you, the ground thaws
The rain falls, the grass grows
Without you, the seeds root
The flowers bloom, the children play
It has been days since Cheryl and Toni have talked. And every night seemed to tick like the second's hand on a clock. Pace slow. Agonizing pain. Cheryl held a pillow close to her chest. Mascara stained lines falling down her cheeks and spread across the pillow she pressed her face against.
She felt so...stupid. She ruined it. Ruined everything. Toni was the first person she had truly connected with, and now...all of that was gone. She couldn't stop crying. The creaking of the bedroom door made the redhead look up, seeing the beautiful girl strut in. Anger almost spontaneously shift to shock.
"C-Cheryl?" The girl wipes her eyes, trying to stop the tears from flowing further.
"I-I'm so sorry T-T. I-I don't even know...I-" She broke down right then and there. Making the girl angry made her feel absolutely terrible.
"Cheryl...come here..." Toni held the other girl close, letting her sob into her Pretty Poisons leather jacket. She didn't want to lose her. That would leave her utterly heartbroken.
"I'm sorry too, Cheryl. I'm so sorry. I became so power hungry and I-I-" Cheryl shook her head.
"No...I was becoming jealous. You're allowed to feel powerful. That's one of the things I love most about you. You never let anyone push you back down. I love you so much T-T." Toni sniffed at her words that soaked in affection. "I just don't wanna lose you..." She gave vulnerably.
"And you won't..." She held the girl close. "I promise."
"I'll never be without you?" Cheryl asked shakily. Toni answered her question with a kiss.
"You'll never be without me."
The stars gleam, the poets dream
The eagles fly, without you
The earth turns, the sun burns
But I die, without you
A/N: So, I know that this was like...really short. But I kinda wanted it to be simple. But this was inspired by Without You from RENT. I was listening to that song while writing this. So I hope you like it. Anyway, thanks for reading.
