Black Leather Jackets: College Bound

BYE

Toni's POV
We just got home and I'm exhausted.
"Mama baw?" Lexi asks
"No sweetheart mama needs to lay down,"
"Oh mama nap?"
"Yes mama nap,"
"Can I nap too?"
"Sure baby,"
"Tones are you hungry?" Cher asks coming into the room
"Lexi and I were just about to nap, but I think Pea and Fangs wanted to meet Tony," I say "Pops?"
"Sure give me Lexi and you grab Tony? We'll walk,"
"Sounds good,"
I grab tony out of his crib, bring a diaper bag, soother, and a blanket in case I need to breast feed.
"Hey baby boy," Cher says kissing his cheek "you look like a happy baby today,"
"He better be after keeping me up all flight,"
I get a call and pick it up.
"Coach Topaz? You know how you said I can call if I'm in trouble?" Robby panics
"Of course Rob, what's wrong?"
"It's not me, it's Ralphy. Apparently the quarterback from Florida State transferred to Riverdale High and we are at the fields and he's trying to fight Ralphy,"
"I'll be right there- do not fight him,"
I hang up and tell reggie and RJ to meet me at the fields.
"Baby can you take one of the kids? I have to do chores and I'll meet you at Pops in 25?"
"Sounds good, What kid?"
"Lexi's sleeping so take Tony,"
"Alright, I'll see you soon,"
"I love you,"
"I love you too Cher,"
I drive to the fields and walk with Toni in my arms towards the conflict on the field.
"Boys, did I hear there's an issue,"
"Hey look it's the dyke," the boy I don't know hisses
Ralph goes to push him
"Ralphy Stop it please," I say
"You let a girl boss you around? Loser. What's she going to do? Forget to make your sandwich,"
"What's your name?" I ask
"Rex,"
"Rex, I know you're new here but at Riverdale we respect women," I say "there's a reason I am coach and it's because I'm the most decorated football player in the history of USA football. I know what I'm doing,"
"You're just a bitch with a baby,"
"Robby can you hold Tony?" I ask
He nods and I hand him tony
I grab a ball out of the bag
"If you can throw further than me- you will prove your point,"
He smirks and I hand him a ball.
He has a decent arm, nothing compared to me though.
"That's cute," I laugh
I grab a ball and throw it all down the field.
"Topaz Stop you're literally going to pull your shoulder," Reggie says "what are you trying to do?"
"Prove a point,"
"Who are you and why are you here?" Reggie asks the Florida boy
"Arky Myan- from Florida state. Trying to show up your dumbass quarterback,"
"First of all, you can't do that- second of all leave- this is a private facility,"
"These two were here," he says
"This is their facility, and my qb has a black eye and the person I have to make sure doesn't hurt herself probably threw out her shoulder so fuck off,"
"Reginald, you cannot say that," I hiss
"Why not dyke? Scared if a man stands up for you, you'd accidentally sleep with him because you're a whore,"
"Oh my god, you aren't from Florida- you were on the team we beat in States," I laugh "your coach set you up?"
"My Coach was right- you're no good for our league,"
"Get out of here kid, I know the sheriff and he'll get here in 2 minutes if I call him," I hiss
He starts walking away, when RJ walks over to him and hugs him.
"Topaz what's going on?"
"This young man tried to beat up our quarterback- called me a whore and a dyke. What's up with you hugging him?" I ask
"This is Livvies brother Arky," he says "why the hell are you calling Toni a whore and using homophobic slurs dude?! This is why Liv won't talk to you man!" He yells
"Why the hell are you even here RJ? You hate Toni, you told me you hated Toni. Now you aren't even her number two? You are what? A defensive coach," he smirks "why the hell would you even take this gig?"
"Dude shut up, I like Toni I always have!"
"Ever a little too much? And then you hated that she was gay," Arky teases "you hated that she didn't tell you at first. You told me your life would have been easier without her,"
"Shut your mouth Arky," he hisses "you don't know what you're talking about,"
I still have tons of horomones and emotions I usually don't get so tears roll down my cheek.
"RJ do you can deal with this then?" I ask wiping my tears
"Topaz, c'mon! Let me explain,"
"No we're cool, see you guys around," I say taking Tony from Reggie
I drive to Pops and sit in the parking lot and cry.
He's not wrong. Without me RJ wouldn't be a murderer, would've been the star of Stanford. Same with Reggie, same with Tyler.
Tony starts crying and I get out to get him out of his seat.
"Hi sweetheart, it's okay. Everyone's okay baby boy," I say bouncing him
I don't really want Tony anymore. Or football or Cheryl.
I just wanna leave.
"Hey baby," Cher says kissing the back of my head
"Hi mama," Lexi says
"Cheryl take Tony," I say blandly
"Oh okay,"
"I need to, I need to go," I say getting back in my car
"Toni what's going on? What's wrong?"
"I just need to go Cheryl, I need to talk to the boys and then I'll be back and probably leave again, but I need to go,"
She says okay and I go to the meeting I set up with the football team.
I get to the field and everyone is already there.
"Coach Topaz what's going on?" Robby asks
"I'm not leading this meeting, Reggie is- he's your new head coach- goodbye, good season, good luck at globes,"
Varied complaints arise and Reggie looks at me confused
"Bye,"
I walk away and I hear Reggie say something
"Boys I'm not your coach, I'll see what's happening with her,"
Reggie runs infront of me and hold my arms
"Toni what's going on? Where's your kid?"
"He's with Cheryl- let me go," I demand
"Toni why aren't you coaching?" He asks
"Because it sucks reggie and I hate it,"
"You don't hate it," he says "you'll love it, why did you leave both kids with Cheryl?"
"Because they suck reggie! None of them even like me!"
"Toni.. what's going on?" He asks
"Leave me alone please!" I yell "please just leave me the hell alone,"
"Let me drive you atleast, you aren't in any condition to drive,"
"Fine, just drop me off at Pops,"
He grabs my keys and I go in the passenger seat and cry.
"I hate this world, I hate this world, I shouldnt have brought another kid into this world and I shouldn't have brought the first one," I cry
He parks at Pops and looks at me.
"Toni are you okay?"
"I'm fine," I hiss getting out
I storm into Pops.
"Look who's back, look who's back baby- mama's back, ya," Cher says tickling Lexi
"Bye," I say "forget me, I hate you, goodbye,"
