Note: Incase you didn't read the end of chapter announcements last chapter all you missed was that I miscalculated the time Cheryl and Toni had been dating, so pretend it's been 2-3 months and know that they've talked heaps, kissed a lot (not in public) and stuff yk. Anyways, onto this chapter!

Previously (Cheryl's POV): "Alright. Class will be over in 3 minutes but before you go we have a new student joining us, her name is Josephine McCoy! Come on in Josephine!" He announced
"Hi my name is Josephine, but please call me Josie. I moved here from New York, I was focusing on my music there and I plan to go back for college but for now I'm just going to get through high school. Is um.. Veronica Lodge in this class?" Josie asked

Fangs' POV:
As I walk up to Toni's trailer I hear Cheryl moan (who was staying over for the weekend) and I slowly back away withholding the newly learnt information on what they were preoccupied by.
"FANGS! HELP!" Toni calls out and I rush in, maybe it wasn't what I thought it was?
I burst open the door to see Cheryl on the floor with blood surrounding her leg everywhere.
"WHAT THE FUCK" I scream
"She was stabbed in the leg! Get some bandages or something!" Toni panicked, holding one of her jackets on the wound
"How did this happen?" I said, rummaging through the cabinets
"Uhh" Toni thought
"What?!" I questioned. They both then burst out laughing

"Gotchaaa!" Cheryl says, scraping off the makeup.
"Oh my god.." I sigh in relief
"We saw you back away by the way" Cheryl laughed
"Yeah I thought you two were-"
"Not that we haven't before" Toni winked
"Alright" I laughed "Anyways I was gonna ask if you guys wanted to play games with Jug, Sweets and I?" I asked
"Up to you babe." Toni said to Cheryl
"Yeah. Give us a few minutes." Cheryl replied and I nodded

"LuCky i Don'T have claUstrOpHobia, oTherWise I woLld bE scReAming in hoRroR" Jughead said in a girly voice, mocking Cheryl
"Shut it hobo." Cheryl glared and everyone else laughed.

Cheryl's POV:
After spending all afternoon playing with Toni and the other guys we were back at her trailer eating dinner, it was around 9:30. I then got a call from Kevin.

"Hey Kev! Missing me already?" Toni and I laughed
"No, Cheryl.. it's your mum. She's here. She just welcomed herself in and demanded to see you, I said you were out and then she said she'll wait and she's been here ever since." Kevin whispered
"What! Ugh, I'll be right over."
"Okay, come quick." Kevin whispered and hung up

"What was that all about?" Toni questioned
"My mothers literally sitting at Kevin's waiting for me to come back from wherever Kevin said I was. I'll be back, cya." I grabbed my red handbag and headed out the door.
"Goodluck!" Toni called out
"Thanks TT!" I yelled back
——————————————————

As I arrived at Kevin's I took a deep breath and walked in. There I saw the devil herself sitting on a couch across from Kevin.
"Mother." I said
"Cheryl!" She exclaimed, walking over and awkwardly hugging me. Kevin gave me a confused look and I just backed away with the same expression. "Anyways I came here to say I'm sorry."
"You're sorry?" I laughed
"Yes. I fully accept who you are." She stated
"You mean?" I questioned
"With Topaz. I may or may not have swooped Nana Rose's mail one morning and realised that I wasn't thinking right." My mother continued
"You threatened Toni's family when you first saw us together and now you're just what.. letting us be?" I asked
"Yup." Penelope hesitated
"Well that doesn't make you forgiven for the years of abuse you put my through, or the fact you stalked Toni's family or-" I was interrupted
"Okay. Bye now!" She walked off

"What the hell." Kevin said as she shut the door
"I have no idea what just happened." I stated
"What about the rivalry?" Kevin questioned
"We'll put it on hold. If that woman really was my mother then she meant none of that." I replied
"Alright.. and what are you going to do now?" Kevin responded
"I'm gonna go back to Toni's. We'll talk about this."
"Okay. You'll be back Monday morning right?" Kevin asked
"Yup. Cya then Kev." I waved
"Cya Cher!" Kevin waved back

After explaining to Toni what had happened and what I had told Kev we both agreed to be more open with our relationship, still not fully public but just more open in general. We decided to go get some Pops to celebrate.
"Maybe your mum is trying to turn her life around?" Toni suggested
"Maybe.. but such a weird way to start. Although with me gone she would have more time to think." I replied
"Either way babe you don't have to worry about her getting close to me or my family." Toni smiled
"I hope it stays that way." I smiled back and we shared a kiss.

???'s Phone Call POV:
"They believe it boss."
"Great. I'll inform you the rest of the details later."

A/N: Sorry for a short chapter! I wanted to get this out today and I wanted to start this idea. It does tie up a few things I guess but it might be a stretch? I'll try to write it as best as I can though.
