"So word on the street is that you and Dream are a thing now" Toni says as we make our way back to Riverdale from meeting with my liquor suppliers from Midvale. "Uh yeah. We've been dating for a few months now. What's it to you?" Toni shrugs her shoulders "nothing I guess, I'm just a little surprised that you would want to date her that's all." I don't really know what she's trying to accomplish by having this conversation with me but it's honestly kinda pissing me off.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I should have known Toni had ulterior motives by wanting to drive back with me alone while the rest of the Pretty Poisons drove back with Cheryl. "You come from a wealthy family, Dream is a foster kid from the trailer park." Now she's crossed a line no one and I mean no one talks about my girlfriend like that.

"I could give zero fucks about where Dream came from, we connected on a level neither one has with someone before. I love her, she loves me and that's all that matters. Why are you bringing her up anyway you're the heartless bitch that broke her heart when she had no one else. And when she needed you most at that."

She looks at me shocked I guess she didn't expect me to know all of that. But that's one thing I loved about Dream she always kept things real with me, there were no secrets with us. "You don't know what happened with us for one. And because I still love her and I don't want her to get hurt by you. She doesn't deserve that."

I couldn't help but laugh at what just came out of Toni's mouth was this girl serious right now? "Oh you don't want her to get hurt? As long as you're the only one that gets to do that it makes it alright though? And you love her still? Even though you were fucking around with Cheryl the entire time she was in jail and you left her for Cheryl might I remind you. Believe me I would never hurt her in the ways you have."

I was beyond pissed off and I didn't even realize how fast I was driving, I wanted to be a bitch and just leave her ass on the side of the road but I wouldn't stoop that low. "How do you know all that?" She asked me wide eyed. I chuckled "my girl and I tell each other everything and I know how dirty you did her. You stopped visiting her, writing, calling. You couldn't even woman up and fucking face her and tell her that you wanted out of the relationship. She was in jail Toni, you know how bad that fucked her up? But believe me she has me now and she'll never go through that again. And I know you were with Cheryl that whole time you guys thought you were sneaky but I seen you guys on more than a handful of occasions making out while your girlfriend was locked in a tiny ass cell."

"You know how hard it was for me? I had my girlfriend with me on a daily basis and then she was suddenly gone for 2 years Veronica. I had needs Cheryl took care of those needs for me. You know how hard it was for me to see her in a fucking orange jumpsuit, handcuffed and shackled when I would go to visit her? I was a bitch by not ending things with her the right way but I can't go back and fix it now I'm happy with Cheryl and apparently Dream is happy with you."

I just shook my head and laughed "yeah things were so hard for you Toni. You had your freedom, hers got taken away from her for something she didn't even do. You don't think she was suffering too? I know how close she is with her brother and the boys going from living with them to a single person cell. No matter how you try to make it look, you will always be a heartless bitch in my eyes. And this whole talk has made it easier to say this, Pretty Poisons will no longer have anything to do with LBN the Serpents will be taking over." I was thankful by now we were back in Riverdale and this conversation could come to an end.

Dream was waiting for me at Pop's when she saw my car pulling into the parking lot she came out to greet me. She was surprised to see Toni get out and slam the car door. She immediately came to my side and brought me into a hug and connected our lips we both couldn't help but smile. "Hi gorgeous" Dream greeted me as she helped me out of the car. "Hi beautiful" I replied.

"So what the hell was Toni doing with you?" She asked as she grabbed my hand and led me into Pop's and to the booth she was previously seated at. "At first I didn't know. But then she started asking about you and I. She started saying a bunch of shit." She reached across the table and grabbed my hand with her eyebrows furrowed "wait, what the fuck? Saying what?"

So I told her the whole conversation Toni and I had while we shared some chicken strips and fries. "She's honestly a fucking idiot, I might have been heartbroken back then. But honestly I'm happy everything happened with her the way it did." I raised an eyebrow, "what do you mean?"

"If Toni wasn't a backstabbing bitch, I would have never met you. You truly make me the happiest I've ever been in my life." I couldn't help but smile. "I could say the same baby, you've changed my life for the better I'm the lucky one. I love you Dream, with all of my heart."

She smiled wide "I love you more Veronica, I don't care how long we've been dating. I already know you're the love of my life, truly." My heart just about burst, I wasn't lying when I said we connected on a level I never have with anyone else before. I knew in that moment without a doubt in my mind Dream was absolutely it for me. "You're endgame for me Dream." She smiled and got out of the booth and sat next to me and brought me in for the most passionate kiss of my life.

No other words were needed by either of us. I was hers, she was mine. No matter what obstacles come our way, I will fight with everything in me to make sure we stay strong together. I want the good, bad, beautiful and ugly with her. Dream is the love of my life.
