The Serpent's Cheerleader

Toni's trailer was quiet as she sat there, staring at her phone. 'Calm down Toni! Cheryl is probably busy at home or she's hanging out with her friends...or maybe yesterday night didn't change a thing and she would go back to making your life hell. No! Cheryl's not like that. Yesterday she showed me a part of her I don't think many people have seen. She will text me.' Toni was having a battle with herself over this but all she knew was that she liked Cheryl and wanted to get to know her.

Just as Toni walked to her kitchen, she got a text. She would never admit this but she dived over her counter to get to her phone. She looked at her phone and saw what she has been waiting for.

C: 'Hey Toni, It's Cheryl Bombshell/Blossom. Now you have my number. Thanks for keeping me company at the movies last night and for listening. I guess serpents aren't so bad.'

Toni smiled then texted back a response.

T: 'Hey Bombshell. It was no problem. If you ever feel like you need to talk, call or text me and I'll come get you. Oh, and if your mother is getting on your nerves, you could always stay at my place. No pressure though.'

Not even ten seconds later, Toni's phone buzzed.

C: 'Mind if I take you up on that right now? My mother is trying to ruin my life and I don't want to be near her.'

Toni squealed but then she shook her head. 'I am never doing that again. That was really weird.' Toni got on her bike and sent a quick message.

T: 'Be there soon. As long as your not terrified of riding on the back of a motorcycle.'

Pulling up to Cheryl's house, Toni could hear yelling inside the house so she got off her bike and walked up to the door. Just as she was about to knock, the door opened and Cheryl came running into Toni with tears in her eyes. Toni pulled the red head closer and held her. Penelope Blossom stood in the doorway. "What is she doing here?"

Toni turned so that Cheryl was farther away from her mother before Toni pulled away and glared at Penelope. "It doesn't matter who I am. What kind of mother treats her daughter like this?"

Penelope sighed. "I have no idea what you are talking about. Cheryl is only overreacting. She is ungreatful."

"No idea what I'm talking about! Ok, Cheryl you are staying with me. Go get your stuff." Toni said.

Cheryl hurried into the house and up the stairs. Penelope and Toni walking into the house too. "Cheryl isn't going anywhere with you. I am her mother and I tell her what to do." Penelope looked at the serpent.

Toni got right in front of her. "Cheryl goes where she wants and she is seventeen so you can't stop her. If you try to stop her, it's not gonna end well for you."

Penelope smirked. "You can't touch me. I have money so the police and this town listen to me and only me. You are just some serpent nobody."

"I could care less if I go to jail and it would take time for the police to get here so that gives me more than enough time to show you what a pissed off serpent can do." Toni looked at the stairs and Cheryl came down and grabbed her hand, pulling her out of the house. "Can we please just go? I don't want you getting in trouble because of my mother."

Toni glared at Penelope before looking into Cheryl's pleading eyes and nodded. Toni got on her bike and Cheryl got in her car with all her stuff. Cheryl followed the serpent to her trailer and before Cheryl could open her car door, Toni opened it and got down on her knees in front of the red head. "I'm sorry." Those words were the only this Toni said but it was enough for Cheryl to start crying again. Toni pulled Cheryl into a hug and they stayed there for a few minutes until Cheryl calmed down. Getting everything out of the back out Cheryl's car, Toni had the red head open her trailer door. Toni put Cheryl's stuff in her room and hurried back to Cheryl's side. "Toni, thank you for everything you are doing for me. Thanks to you, I don't feel like a prisoner."

Before Toni could respond, Cheryl got a message and so did Toni. Cheryl got a text from Veronica, asking if she wanted to go to Pops. Toni got a text from Betty about going to Pops. Toni smiled at Cheryl. "Are you okay with going to Pops?"

Cheryl nodded, sending a text.

C: 'Me and Toni will be there soon.'

Cheryl got a response fast.

V: 'Wait, are you and Cheryl together right now?'

C: 'Yeah, I'm staying at her trailer cause my moms a bitch.'

Betty and Veronica was sqealing and jumping up and down with people giving them weird looks.

V: 'Cool. See you two soon.'

Toni and Cheryl got on the serpents bike and they sped off to Pops. Cheryl smiled as she felt the wind blowing on her and she tightened her grip on Toni, making Toni smile. 'This girl is going to be the death of me. Or maybe she is going to bring me to life. Either way, I'm ok with it as long as I have her.
