Moose pulled Kevin into his arms and he slowly made his way off the frozen river with Archie, Jughead, Veronica, Betty, Midge and Cheryl. Cheryl was walking directly next to Moose, holding Kevin's hand as they made their way back to the woods and to the street. Kevin was awake in Moose's arm, muttering and shivering all the while. Jughead had been on the phone with an ambulance, who ordered him to stay on the line so that they could track him. Cheryl was rubbing his hand and smiling at him, happy that he was alive just like she was. Moose carried him out of the woods looking around desperately for the ambulance. "It's coming around the corner." Jughead said to Moose, noticing his desperate looks. "They said to just keep him warm as best as you can."

"Oh Kev." Betty said as Moose went down on one knee to hold Kevin up. "Where's your coat?"

Archie shucked off his hoodie and put it over Kevin's shoulders. It was thick and covered in snow, but it should do the trick for now. Moose rubbed Kevin's shoulders, trying to produce body heat. Betty reached over to touch him, but Kevin yanked himself away from her and closer to Moose. Moose held him, looking up at Betty. Betty looked confused. She wanted to help him, but maybe he was just shivering and his body was trashing from the cold. Jughead hung up the phone as soon as he heard the sirens. Archie and him made their way to the approaching van, pointing down the road to the EMT's as they got up and out of the driver's seat. One of the EMT's looked over at the group of kids and shook his head. "I'm required by law to call the sheriff if this was an attempted suicide." he said.

"But Kevin didn't try to kill himself, he saved someone else from doing it." Archie said.

"None the less, that's just protocol." the man pulled out his phone while Archie and Jughead made their way and walked back over to Kevin, Moose, Cheryl and everyone else. Moose was holding Kevin tightly and he whispering calm and warm thoughts in his ear. The EMT's gently moved forward with a emergency blanket and the put it around the shivering boy. They also gave one to Cheryl. She didn't feel cold just yet, but she would in a few moments when dressed in only her thin dress and stockings.

"It's okay, we got him." the EMT woman said, helping her colleague to carry him to the ambulance. Kevin started shifting and shivering, becoming scared of where he was going. Betty and Moose were the first to move forward. Betty hoped that Kevin would want here there because they were best friends and they knew each other so well. Moose hoped that Kevin wanted him to be the one to carry him. They both wanted to keep Kevin warm. But Kevin didn't call out to either of them. He raised his hand out of the blanket and reached out.

"Cheryl." he called.

Betty turned white and she watched as Cheryl moved over and took his hand in her's. "Is it alright if I go?" she asked.

"Yes miss, follow us."

Cheryl walked with Kevin and the EMT's over to the ambulance. Moose wanted to be there with him, but he stayed where he was, biting his lips and rubbing his bleeding knuckles that felt like pins and needles times one hundred. "He's a hero." Midge whispered. "He saved Cheryl's life."

"My god..." Veronica said. "I hope that he's okay. I hope that he's going to be okay."

The EMT that was on the phone with the sheriff's station seemed to have finished his call. He was now walking up to the group with a first aid kit. "Was anyone else injured?" he asked, his question not having to be answered as he saw Moose's bleeding knuckles and Archie's bleeding hand. The set down his kit and started to clean Moose's cuts first. Moose wasn't paying attention as his eyes went to the ambulance. He couldn't see Kevin, he was probably laying or sitting inside, but he could see Cheryl and the EMT's. Cheryl was still holding his hand, one of her arms extended, and the EMT's were speaking to her. He wished he could hear what their saying. Once his hand was wrapped, the man turned to Archie. As he started to assess his hand, the sound of the sheriff's patrol car was heard speeding down the road. Sheriff Keller was here. And Betty and Archie knew that he would not be happy to see it was them or be happy to find out his son was the one that was plunged into the water. Tom parked across the street and slammed his car door shut. He had a deputy with him, and she looked scared to be in the presence of such an angry man. "Interview the one in the water for me." he said to her, before storming up to the group. Veronica held Archie's hand and Jughead tensed up in front of the man that could indite his father.

Sheriff Keller approached them and he crossed his arms. "Why is it that every time someone calls the sheriff's office, you guys are the one causing the trouble?" he yelled.

"Sheriff Keller, let us explain." Veronica said. "It's not what you think?"

"It is what I think. Whenever you all are around, someone gets hurt." Tom yelled back at Veronica. "Now, who was it that attempted suicide. That's serious, and I'm not here to make jokes."

Sheriff Keller's deputy made her way over to them and she tapped his shoulder. Tom looked at her. "It was Cheryl Blossom that attempted the suicide but it's your son that ended up in the water." she said in a low voice.

"WHAT?!" Tom pushed past his deputy and ran over to the ambulance. Cheryl saw him approaching and she let go of Kevin's hand as Tom made his way over to the back of the ambulance and he saw his son sitting in the back, wrapped in an emergency blanket and shivering violently. "Kevin... my god. Kev... wh-where's your coat?"

"Sheriff Keller." one of the EMT's said with a smile. "Thank goodness you're here."

"How is he? Is he okay?" Tom asked, rubbing his son's thigh and feeling how cold he was to the touch.

"He's fine... nothing too serious, he won't have to go to the hospital if that's what you mean." the EMT said. "He needs rest and a lot of warmth. He has some frost damage on his feet from walking barefoot on the ice and snow, but running him a hot bath or shower should suffice. He also might catch a cold, we felt a fever coming along. So if he does get sick, it's best to keep him home and watch over him."

"What about hypothermia?" asked Cheryl, making the two older men turn to face her. "I mean, when he came to save me... he was only in his cardigan. And it was probably a long walk from school to get to where I was."

"He walked?" Tom asked.

"His truck is nowhere to be seen Sheriff." Cheryl said with a shoulder shrug, pulling her own blanket closer to his shoulders.

"She does have a point." the EMT said, turning to Kevin. He snapped his fingers in front of Kevin's face, trying to get his attention. "Mr. Keller?"

"Hmmm?" Kevin groaned as a response. He was freezing, cold and tired. He didn't want to talk or speak with anyone. Like they spoke with him anyways. He opened his eyes and saw his father now apart of the group of the EMT's and Cheryl. Of course his father would be here. Only when he's hurt. Not like he was there when he discovered Jason's body in the river. Kevin shifted away from Tom's touch as he moved to touch his son's arm.

"Kevin, can you look at me?" the EMT asked. "We just want to do a few tests, see if you have hypothermia. Can you do that for me?"

"Can you do it for me Kev?" Cheryl asked, moving over and smiling. Kevin looked over at Cheryl and he weakly nodded, still holding the ends of his blankets. Tom looked at his son and then at Cheryl. She turned to him and gave him an unimpressed stare.

"I need to ask you a few questions is that okay?" he said. "While they're taking care of Kev."

Cheryl nodded. She looked over at Kevin and patted his thigh before walking away with the sheriff. Sheriff Keller walked over with her towards Moose, Midge, Archie, Jughead, Betty and Veronica. "Brenda." Tom called to his deputy. "Head back to the station. I'll care of everything from here."

She nodded and she left the teenagers. Tom looked at them and crossed his arms. "Explain how this happened, now." he said.

"Sheriff Keller... this is all my fault" Cheryl said. "I was the one that tried to drown myself in the river... I was the reason why Kevin ended up in the water."

"I got a text from Cheryl." Veronica said, showing her phone to Sheriff Keller. "We didn't want Cheryl to die, so we came hurdling to find her."

"Who's we?"

"Us." Betty called out. "Me, Ronnie, Jughead and Archie."

"Then how did you two get here?" Sheriff Keller asked, looking over at Moose and Midge.

"I was driving Midge home." Moose said. "And she saw Kevin's bag just on the ground. We got scared and we didn't know where he was. And we saw Archie and them looking for Cheryl... and we heard her scream."

"We ran as fast as we could and then saw Cheryl trying to pull Kevin out of the water." Midge said.

Tom sighed and adjusted his sheriff's hat. "I'm... I'm going to need to all to write a statement and send it to the sheriff's station." he said.

"Is Kevin okay?" Betty asked, looking out at the ambulance. "Is he alright?"

"I'm not sure, their checking on him right now."

The EMT walked away from the ambulance, leaving Kevin with the other one and he approached the sheriff and the group of kids. "Sheriff Keller." the EMT called. "Your son does seem to be showing symptoms of mild hypothermia. It's nothing huge. Just shivering and mental confusion. He keeps calling out for Miss Blossom."

"What? Why?" Betty asked, confused and kind of angry that Kevin didn't want to talk to her or see her.

"I'm not sure. Perhaps he's still worried about her after she tried to commit suicide. Unless it's something else. Are you his girlfriend or something?"

"No." Moose said angrily, before composing himself. "No... no... Kevin um... Kevin doesn't like girls."

"Then he's probably just worried about you. You should see talk to him and bring him over." Cheryl nodded and she hurried back to the back of ambulance. The EMT looked over at Sheriff Keller. "The hypothermia isn't moderate or severe, which means that you can take him home. But make sure that he gets plenty of rest and that he stays warm. I recommend leaving him by a fireplace, the heat from a real fire rather than a heater will help."

"Thank you so much." Tom said, watching as he walked away and saw Cheryl coming back with Kevin. Kevin was still pale and shivering and his feet were now covered with thick socks. Kevin was struggling to walk, still dazed and tired. His shoulders shivering violently. Tom pushed past to get to his son, moving so that he could get his son off his feet. When he moved to touch him, but Kevin pulled away. "No... no." Kevin said, moving away.

"Kevin... it's me. It's dad." Tom said in a calm voice. "Come on, let's get you home."

"No... no... no."

"He doesn't want you Sheriff Keller." Cheryl said to him.

Moose and Betty saw what was going on and they ran over to the three of them. "What are you talking about? I'm his father?"

"He was muttering in the ambulance. How everyone left him alone." Cheryl said, looking over at Betty and Moose. "You two, Veronica, Archie, Jughead... even you Sheriff Keller."

Sheriff Keller was stunned. That his son believed that. He was even more stunned because it was true. He honestly did leave his son alone. Always leaving early and coming home late, not even bothering to check up on him, to say hi, to just be a father. Cheryl moved past them and walked Kevin over to her car. She sat him down in the passenger seat and wrapped the blanket around him. "Come on. Let's get you warmed up." she whispered to him, closing the door behind him. "I'm taking him to Thornhill. I'll warm him up there and give him the love he deserves."

She walked into the driver's seat and started up her car. After a few seconds of warming the car up, the drove off. Sheriff Keller rubbed his chin, thinking about what Cheryl had said. Was what she said the truth? Does Kevin really believe that he was alone? Did he actually think that no one was there for him? Did no one ever say hello to him? Did anyone ever give him the attention that he deserved? Sheriff Keller looked over at Veronica. She looked so... upset with herself. She was the one that took Betty away from Kevin. She was one of the main reasons why he felt so alone. Sheriff Keller swallowed some rising bile and he crossed his arms. "You all should write a statement of what happened." he said. "Send it to the sheriff's station."

"But what about Kevin?" Jughead asked.

"I'll pick him up later. He needs time to rest." Tom said. "Stay out of trouble or I will not hesitate to arrest you. All of you. Get home. Now."

Tom walked over to his patrol car and got inside. Betty looked over at Archie and Jughead, while Midge and Veronica found each other's eyes. Moose was still looking out to where Cheryl's car left.
