15: American Dreams

I walk into La Bonne Nuit, my black heels clicking as I walk over to Toni.

"You look great, E." She hums. "However..." She stands up, sliding her Pretty Poison jacket over me. "Much better."

I laugh, looking down. Veronica comes over, "I am so ready to dance and drink tonight away." She says.

Toni sighs. "Agreed." She says. I look at her, confused. "Cheryl." I open my mouth before closing it.

Standing up straighter, I clear my throat. "Well, I have the perfect song."

The three of us start singing the song, my arms wrapped around the two as Toni wrapped her hands around my waist.

Call your girlfriend.

It's time you had the talk.

Veronica sings as me and Toni dance like we did that night at the club, singing along with her, smiles on our faces.

Give you reasons.

Say it's not her fault.

I didn't even notice Sweet Pea and Cheryl.

But you just met somebody new.

Veronica wraps her arms around me and Toni, our smiles wide. Toni's eyes catch Cheryl and Pea, and she pulls away.

Don't you tell her how I give you something that you never even knew you missed

I stop, looking at Sweet Pea. I smile, hopping over. "Hey, Baby." I chirp.

"What was that?" He growls.

I furrow my brows in confusion. "I'm working with T and V."

Pea scoffs. "Yeah. Working."

"I can have fun while working, Sweet Pea." I reply. Pouting, I wrap my arms around him. "What's wrong?"

He sighs, "You've been with Toni a lot lately. And then you're here, dressed so...amazing, wearing her jacket, dancing with her like that."

A smile tugs on my lips. "Are you jealous?"

The tall serpent shakes his head. "No. I've just been so busy with the Serpents I've missed you." He says, his lips connecting with mine.

"Well, come dance with me." I hum.




Cheryl walks up to me the next day as I'm back at Thistle House, spending time with Nana Rose. "Are you bisexual?"

I choke on my water, looking at my technically twin sister. "What?"

"The way you are with TT...it's just.."

I sigh. "Cheryl." I take my sisters hands in mine. "You are my sister, I'm a Blossom whether we like it or not. And Toni and you are total endgame." She laughs, looking down. "I'm not taking your lady from you, I promise."She purses her lips, hugging me tightly. "Now, I have an idea."

After explaining it, she sighs. "I also want to apologize for the past few weeks. I know, what I did was...wrong." She bites her lip. "I wasn't thinking."

"Hell yeah you weren't." I retort. "But, that's kinda a Blossom thing. Act on impulse, you know?" She laughs, nodding. "I still love you Cheryl. No matter what."

She gives me a sad smile. "Thank you, Emmy."

The two of us walk side by side, Toni looking well, surprised. "Blossoms, what are you doing here? I'm working."

"I'm not here for you, babe." Cheryl hums. "Me and my sister are in the mood to gamble."

Toni crosses her arms. "So no ulterior motives, then?" She asks.

I lean my head on Cheryl's shoulder. "Only to win, of course." I chirp.

"Now, be a doll, and fetch me a Bellini, why don't you?" Cheryl replies. Toni rolls her eyes, walking away. "And now, we scout."

I laugh. "You mean you scout." I tease. "I have to..." My voice trails off when I see Bethany Smith. "I'll be back." I tell her, walking away.

My acrylic nails tap her table, causing the blond woman to look up from her glass. "Oh, Emilia, right?" Her smile is warm, calming. "What do you need?"

"I need to know who you are." I say bluntly.

Her eyes widen, and she's clearly startled. "What do you mean?"

I sit across from her, my heart racing. "Why are you here." I glare. "I searched you up, you didn't exist until 17 years ago. Who are you?"

She gulps nervously, picking her painted white nails. "Emilia, this is not-"

"Who the hell are you?" I ask again, eyes catching us.

She sighs. "My name is Kimberly Smith." My heart stops. "You're my daughter."

My hand turns into a fist a few times. "Kimberly Smith died."

She shakes her head. "I didn't. You know I didn't." She takes a sip of her drink. "I faked my death, attempting to get out of Riverdale. However, that meant leaving Hiram, and you. I didn't know Hiram would give you to the Blossoms, or I would've faked your death as well and left forever." Her eyes water slightly. "But then I heard. Jason passing, Hiram coming back, the birth of your daughter, my granddaughter. How you came to the Serpents without anyone telling you to do so." She laughs, looking into my eyes. "You remind me so much of me."

My eyes water as hot tears stream down my cheeks. "You're not my mom."

"But I am-"

"No." I stand up abruptly. "You left me so I could join an incest pool or mob family. I've gone through hell and back only to find out everything I fought for was a lie. You're supposed to be dead!" I shake my head, "Maybe you should've stayed that way." I turn on my heel, Cheryl frowning. "You coming?"

"Of course."


I sit across from Archie in my living room as he bounces Tori. He explains what's happened recently. "So, you and my dad are all buddy buddy now, huh?" I ask him.

"Yeah. I guess." He sighs. "I, um, want to say i'm sorry. For doing what I did to you."

I roll my eyes. "I've had enough apologies. Let's just forget." Standing up, I hold my hand out for him to grab. "You've been my friend since we were four. Let's just forget our little romance ever happened, and be best friends again."

He laughs, hugging me tightly. He pulls away, eyebrow raised. "I heard Cheryl wants to do Heathers for the Musical this year."

I shrug, smiling. "I may or may not have pitched the idea." I chirp.

"Well, I think you'd make a great Veronica Sawyer."

I furrow my brow. "Really? I heard Josie was gonna try out."

He shrugs. "You need a bit of spotlight too, don't you?" He asks before walking away. "I'll see you tomorrow when I drop off Tori."

I turn to watch him walk out the door. "Maybe it is time for Emilia Blossom to be in the limelight."
