So sorry about the delay, I dont really have an excuse, only summervacation and long as work shifts, but here is the next chapter, I hope its okay and it was worth the wait
Southside (Peters pov):
So last night happend, I was just gonna talk to Felicia about us being old friends, Well technicly we were an old romance, anyway, what did surprise me a bit was how welcoming her three friends were, but had they tried something I would have to ressort to fighting, well not to brag but I'm a master in the art of 'kick yo ass', but that was luckily not a problem, well that Toni chick did threaten to cut me open like a fisk if I ever hurted Felicia, why is it evertime in this town I meet someone, they all have crazy girl friends that would beat me up?, like what is even up with that?, first I met Josie, then I met her friends Valerie and Melody, Valerie threatend me, and she even ended up punching me in the face, pssssst I know your not asking but she hits alot harder than Eugene, Eugene on the other hand hits like a bit... Well the not so nice word, that I have only used once, and I had never seen aunt May so angry before, but yeah anyway, they seem'd to like me somewhat, but i'm just an othersider to them, an outsider whos dad was a serpent.
Well Sweetpea as I learned his full name, seems like a though boy, and he is, but hes also full of well he is full of something, thats for sure.
Fangs, again what the holy Thor is that name, like will he suck my body dry of blood?, oh hell no, i'm not fighting another Morbius, that guy creeped the holy Thor out of me, if hes a vampire i'm gonna go all blade on him, what?, oh right, blade is this bad as vampire hunter I once helped, long story short, he kinda owes me a favor, so watch out Fangs.
Then there is Toni, the resident badass, she aint as though as she seems, shes more beauty than brawn, dont tell her I said that or she will hunt me down, please dont tell her shhhhhh.
Felicia also named Toni's sister, I didn't know she had a sister, I think she called her Bella, no that doesn't sound right, hmm, was it eleven?, no thats a number, huh, look at that I have forgotten, she told me she is as bad as new York Veronica, them she must be a well she would then be a Cheryl, which is not a compliment by the way, but the long story short she hates her.
I was soon brought out my day dreaming, when Felicia lightly shook me awake, "as much as I would love to continue this, but you have school and you need a shower, I would offer you mine but theres only hot water for one person", she said and smiled at me.
"Well we can always shower together", I whisper mumbled, so she wouldn't hear it, because I mostly didn't mean it, but maybe I did, oh god, those serpents have a bad influence on me, or is it good?
"Well you should go home, eat and wash, and we'll talk later", Felicia said and smiled, she leaned in and gave me a quick kiss on the lips.
I walked around her bedroom and got dressed, when I got to the front door, we gave eachother a quick kiss goodbye, when I walked out she yelled from the doorway "maybe next time we can take that shower together, like you wanted", as she was finished she locked the door as I just stood there flabergasped, and just walked home to get a bath and some breakfast.
Parker residence:
As I walked through the front door, I knew May wouldn't be home, since she had the early shift, or so I thought, as I came through the kitchen to get some breakfast, the light was suddenly turned on as I jumped in the air, and turned around, face to face with May Parker, what is that vein on her forehead, she looked angry, "heeeeey aunt May, why aren't you at work?, hows my favorite aunt doing?, i'm in so much trouble aren't I?", I said, remember what I said earlier?, more specific when I said that bad word May was angry, jesus she seems to be a tad more angry than hulk, I have pissed her off more than I thought I could.
"That depends, were you a) dead and couldnt call or text, because that is a good excuse, b) see option a for further information on why its okay to sneak out and not tell me, so where were you Peter?, I know it wasn't easy to hear about last night, but you can't just run away, we're closer than that", the vein had gone down to regular.
"I'm so sorry May, I only sneaked out last night, because I met the girl in the picture, shes nice, and I needed to know, if she knew anything, we talked all night, did I tell you she is nice?", I said as I looked down but soon felt her arms wrap around me, I quickly hugged her back.
"I know Peter, I miss them too", May said as she turned towards the food on the table, we sat down and had breakfast together like the little family we are, but soon I excused myself to take a shower, so I could go to school, well school isn't in another hour maybe even an hour and a half, and I got a text from Jughead.
Jerkhead: dude you need to help me and Betty, Betty invited me for breakfast, but her mom is chewing me up alive.
Traitor: fine, but know if she trys to drag me down I'll threw you under the bus.
Jerkhead: deal.
"Bye May, i'm going to Bettys", I said and walked over to giver her a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"See you later Peter", May said, and she walked back into the school.
Cooper household:
Soon I knocked on the door, and the door opend to reveal a surprised Alice Cooper, "hey Peter, what are you doing here?", she asked, but opend the door further to offer me entrance.
"Well, Betty invited me over for breakfast, so I decided to accept, I hope its okay?", I said.
"Sure it is, well Betty offered it to you so, I can't turn you away now", Alice said and we walked into the dinning room to sit with Jughead and Betty.
Jughead and I were eating our pancakes, I briefly looked at Alice and saw her stirring her coffee, which she has done for the past five minutes giving Jughead the stink eye, soon she picked the coffee up and drank from the cup, "so Jughead, I suppose we you to thank for Bettys ongoing obsession with this Jason Blossom ghoulishness", Alice said, as she took a sip from her cup.
"Actually mom, I was the one who asked Jughead to help me write it for the blue and gold, and Peter here to be our official photographer", Betty said as she sent a smile her mothers way.
Alice chuckled "relax Betty, i'm just making conversation" she said.
Soon Betty and Jughead send eyes my way, what are they trying to say, they gestured for the hallway, what?, I send a look back at them, and Betty send eyes to the bathroom door, oh they wanted to snoop, fine, "hey so do you guys have a bathroom I could use?", I asked.
"Sure, I'll show you", Betty said, as she made a move to stand up.
"No, no I'll show him, follow me Peter", Alice said and started walking down the hallway.
'You owe me', I mouther back to them, Betty and Jughead had taken photos of her moms.
Parker neighbourhood:
As we walked out of the Cooper household to go to school I still didn't understand what they needed to find, "okay guys, what was this about anyway?, this wasn't just a friendly breakfast, so you two need to tell me or I'll", I started but then stopped to think of a threat "I'll tell miss Cooper you snooped through her stuff", I finished and Betty had a look of shock on her face, soon Jughead and I started laughing, since Jughead, said I should do it, Betty send me a murderous look "it was all Jugheads idea", I said and pointed to him, he stared at me with a 'dude no' look, "sorry Betty, I thought it would be a good joke, sorry", I finished, Betty gave me a smile and a nod.
As we were walking Betty turned to me, since Jughead already knew what was up, "you know about my sister Polly", I gave her a nod, "my and dad won't let me see her, or tell me where she is, so this morning I looked through my moms calender, and we came across a check that we'll look into during our free period, do you wanna come?", Betty finished as she gave me a small smile.
"Sure, atleast its not illegal this time, no I take back what I said, you stole your moms check for someone, but yeah i'm in", I said, Jughead looked at me confused, and I said "long story man, another time", he gave me a nod, we soon arrived at the school, Veronica had texted me during our walk that Archie would be doing an audition for this talent show thing, and she asked if I would come and watch with her, which I ofcourse said yes to.
Riverdale high school auditorium:
When I walked into the room I ran straight into someone, Josie, oh god, daaaamn you parker luck, "h-h-hey Peter, can we talk quickly?", Josie said.
"Sure, now?", I replied, but I was also confused why she would talk to me now, shes gonna kill me, I know, goooooooooooooodbye cruel world.
"Sorry about everything, i'm so sorry about everything", Josie started, wait what?, shes not gonna kill me "so the thing is, i'm not really used to depend on other than myself, and when I started to lean on you and you pushed away, I thought everything was going against me, my dad, my mom, Valerie, Melody and then you, i'm sorry I took it all out on you, friends?", Josie said and extended her hand, I pushed her hand away, and I saw the hurt in her eyes, but that was soon changed to a happy glint, when I pulled her into a hug and said "friends", we pulled away and gave eachother a smile.
"My turn, i'm so sorry for all the things I did to you, taking you for granted, choosing Veronica and Cheryl over you, I didn't realise you hurted as much as them, and for that i'm sorry Josie", I said, she pulled me into another hug, when the hug ended we walked down the stairs and joined Veronica on the chairs looking at Archie, who is going to audition soon.
"Archie Andrews, what will you be auditiong with", Kevin asked, as he was looking for contestants for the variety show.
Archie grapped the microphone "Well it an original song I wrote called I'll try", Archie said as he adjusted the steals on his guitar and the microphone.
"Try harder!, maybe you should try not sucking so much", Reggie said, god Reggie is such a tool, what would happend if I punched him in the face?
Archies was shaking on stage, "take your time Archie, but we do have people waiting here", Kevin said.
We all looked from our seats, "oh my god, whats happening?", Veronica asked.
"Nerves?", I said.
Josie leaned forward to the both of us and said "no, he's choking", and leaned back in her seat.
Archie was stuttering mess and soon he ran from stage, we all kinda just looked surprised at the stage where he just stood, "so that happend, sorry, but I have to deal with a situation at the blue and gold, bye guys", I said, and walked out of the auditorium, after they had said their goodbyes to me, i'm not a savage or bad boy i'm Peter Parker.
The blue and gold:
I walked into the office, and I noticed Betty looking at her phone scrolling around on it, "the sisters of quiet mercy", Betty said, as she looked up at me and gave me a quick wave.
"What is that?, is that the place their holding Polly, are we doing a rescue mission, because I can be totally like a Ninja", I said as I jumped up on a chair, but the wheel on the chair gave out and I fell flat on my ass, Jughead and Betty were soon laughing at me, I was groaning on the floor, and they just laughing at me?, jerks, I groaned as I stood back up, "I think my I broke my butt, okay so maybe i'm not a ninja", I said and laughed, I looked over at the two of them as the laughing soon wore off "but seriously is that place like a church?, or maybe a charity?, but the name sounds to peace full, maybe its a cult", I finished.
"No, its not a cult, its 'home for troubled youths', where troubled teens will learn virtues such as discipline and respect, enjoying life of quiet reflection and servitude", Jughead said, what is that place, sounds like a military academy, but with nuns, okay I have seen the nun, and I'll run like the wind if her heads do a 360.
"It sounds awful, poor Polly", Betty said, Jughead gave her shoulder a reasuring squeeze, something going in between them?
"Okay, this place sounds creepy, but hey we survived Thronhill we can survive anything", I said, soon after the bell sounded, signaling the lunch break was now in session
Riverdale food court:
As we made our way through the outside we soon saw Archie and Valerie sitting at a table, we soon stood beside them and I said "can we sit here", Valerie and Archie gave us a nod of approval, and we sat down with them.
As we were sitting at the table Betty started talking to Jughead and I about the whole Polly situation "guys, it has been months, since I last saw Polly, mom and dad must have a good reason why I can't see her, but I don't care anymore, I wanna see my sister", Betty said as she gave us both a smile, but the one Jughead got was a little bigger than the once I got, maybe I should play matchmaker?, or maybe I could even get Veronica to help me?, or let history do its course.
Archie looked at us and said "what are you guys talking about?, anything I can help with?".
Jughead was as usual eating, when is that boys mouth not full of something food?, but he put the chips down, "we're attempting a stealt operation, if we go in there with the entire Scooby gang, forget it, we're compromised, its a three person gig, uno dos, tres", Jughead said, as he pointed to me, Betty and himself when he spoke in spanish.
"Well mister hotshot, I didn't realise you spoke spanish", I said.
"Si", he replied, oh hes gonna regret that.
"Entonces puedes entender esto?, y no te importía darme, no sé cien dólares?, I replied in spanish to Jughead.
"Erhm si", Jughead said.
"Good, then give me my hundred buck", I said with a smile as I extended a hand toward him.
"Why?, what did you say in spanish", Jughead said, and looked quite confused as to why my hand was still extended.
"Well Jughead Jones the third, I asked, and let me translatør for you, then you understand this?, and you wouldn't mind giving me, I don't know, a hundred buck?, which you said I could so now show me the money", I said and just laughed as Jughead looked like a deer caught in the head light.
We all laughed before Betty spoke "don't you have practice anyway?, for the variety show I mean", and she looked between Archie and Valerie as she said the last part.
Archie had sad eyes on Valerie "uh, no, I dont", Archie said.
Soon an engle was on Archies should or was it the devil, I don't recall, but I do know the devil wears prada, so maybe its the devil, Veronica was soon here, is what i'm trying to get to, once she made the way over to the table, she said "except that yes, you do, thanks to a certain Veronica-makeitpossible-Lodge", she started as she sat down at the table with her lunch tray, she continued "I might have had a few words with our director/host, and reminded him that he's heard Archie on numerous occasions", Veronica finished as all eyes were on Kevin and her.
"Eventhough it compromises my artistic integrity", Kevin said, and looked down, oh thats how it is, he met scary Ronnie, yeah she is quiet persuasive when she wants something.
"What the drama queen over there is trying to say, you have a slot, if you want it", Veronica said, our eyes met, I gave her a quick smile, she smiled back, and oh my god, I have been with Felicia, shit, Ronnie is gonna kill me when she finds out.
"Are you sure Ronnie?, you saw him choking up there did you not?", I said with a glint of teasing to my voice, spidersense?, why?, well I can see why, Ronnie is wearing a scowl, that would even make the Batman green with envy, "what?, too soon?, sorry", I said as I scratched the back of my head.
"As Peter here so kindly pointed out, thanks for that dude", Archie started "Well your very welcome", I said, soon Archie continued "you guys saw what happend, playing my songs here infront of you guys thats one thing, but on that stage by myself?, i'm not sure if i'm ready for that again", he finished.
Veronica looked around the table, before speaking up "Well if its a partner you're looking for, Veronica Lodge is more than willing and able", Veronica started, "you can sing?, how come I haven't heard you sing yet?", I said, well i'm interupting people all day here, its like I have channeld my inner Veronica and now interupting people is my thing?, she continued "Well Peter, I sing like a nightingale, what do you say Archiekins?, be the Jay to my Bey?", she finished.
Archie and Veronica was staring at eachother for a short time before Archie said "yeah, yeah sure Ronnie, thanks", soon we the bell rang and we all had to leave for our next class.
Music room riverdalehigh:
Why am I doing this?, this will end in drama I just know it, but Josie wants to try and be friends again, and asked if I would come an listen to them, so here I am on my to listen to the pussycats playing music, to be honest I kinda have missed hearing them play, I walked in and saw Josie, Mel and Val being by their instruments, I said my quick hellos before I took a chair, and just listend to their music, I could quickly hear that something was off with them, Josie rolled her eyes, and turned towards Valerie "hold up, hold up, look, Val, you dont sing on the bridge", Josie said.
"Well actually the bridge is meant to be sung by two voices", Valerie said as she held two fingers up to show Josie what she meant.
"What is up with you today J?", Melody said.
"What is up with you today Mel?, you're asleep at the snare drugs", Josie counters, she sounds stressed, i'm gonna be caught in the middle of this aren't I?
"Josie, relax, its a variety show, in the auditorium, its not showtime at the Apollo", Valerie said, Valerie sweety shush, your trying to put the fire out with gasoline instead of water.
"Whether you're perforing at Madison Square Garden, or pops diner, you give it your all", Josie snarled back, okay, i'm gonna go "where are you going Peter, give me your opinion", Josie pointed to me and pointed to the chair, I quickly sat back down and stared at them, Valerie was about to speak but decided against it, Josie saw this "i'm sorry, did you want to say something to me Valerie?", she finished.
I made eye contact with Mel, I made a funny face at her which she replied with a small snicker, "well Josie, its just I dont have to deal with this diva crap when I work with Archie", Valerie said, oh boy, and now she has thrown a napalm onto the fire.
Josie closed her eyes, inhaled and exhaled deeply before saying "working with Archie how?".
"Co-writing songs, even singing with him" Valerie said.
"Unacceptable, you sing with us, or Archie, but not both" Josie said.
"In that case, fine, I quit", Valerie said.
Josie waved at her and said "dont let the door hit you on your way out", okay maybe I should say something, Josies eyes were on me, or maybe another time, yeah another time sounds good.
When Valerie walked out, I stood up to confront Josie, stupid morals, always getting me in freaking trouble, "so erhm, Josie maybe you were kinda hard on Valerie, dont you think, you should give her a break, she is kinda one of your best friends", I said.
Josie turned towards me "you dont even like Valerie all that much, why so you care suddenly", Josie said.
"Josie, whatnhappend between Val and I is in the past, dont push her away, you know her ideas are good, just listen to her, shes not trying to hurt you, she only wants whats best for you, maybe you shouldnt be so hard on her", I said, and boy did I screw up.
"You know what Peter, you can get the hell out too", Josie said, I left without another word, jesus what is up with Josie?, its like something is bothering her.
Parker residence evening:
Veronica stood at my front step as I got home, she had unshead tears in her eyes, I ran to her and brought her face into my hands "what happend Ronnie?, who hurt you?", I said as I searched her face for injuries, she only shook her head no, and brought me into a right hug.
"My mom kissed Fred Andrews, I saw them, can you walk me home and maybe be there for my confrontation with her?", Veronica said, dang nabbit, her I was hoping for a nice night, just relaxing, but once again drama, I nodded my head and soon we were on our way towards the Pembrooke.
Pembrooke:
We heard the front door opening, I had held Ronnies hand for awhile but let go when Hermione walked into the living room, Ronnie and I stood up "hello mija, Peter, its so nice to see the two of you", Hermione said and smiled at us.
"Are you gonna leave dad, when he gets out of jail?", Veronica asked.
"Mija, why would you ask that?", Hermione asked her daughter, but had slightly wide eyes wondering just how much Veronica and I knew.
"I saw you mom", Veronica said in a small sad voice, I walked over to her, and grabbed her hand, giving it a reasuring squeeze, I could feel her giving a light squeeze back, "with Fred Andrews, in the trailer", she finished.
Hermione moved forward to her daughter, "oh mija, i'm so sorry that you did, but I want you to know that we never kissed before, until today" Hermione said.
Veronica couldnt speak so I spoke for her "what about Hiram then?, what will happen when he come himw to you again?", I asked.
Veronica let go of my hand to sit beside her mother on the couch, Hermione took her daughters hands "I'm not sure what will happend, i'm so sorry baby, it just happend, and I know this must be confusing", Hermione said.
Veronica looked her mother in the eyes "yeah, it is, you have always said cheating is only for fools", she said, and had unshed tears for her parents relationship.
"So, what can I do to help?", Hermione asked her daughter.
"You know what mom?, theres actually nothing you can do", Veronica said, she got up from the couch turned towards her mom, "i'm sleeping at Peters tonight", she finished, she walked into her room.
"Peter, please take care of my baby", Hermione pleaded.
"Always", I said and gave her a quick nod.
Parker residence:
We arrived back at my house, we didn't speak, we just went straight to bed, nothing happend, not a word was spoken, she only sought comfort from a friend, and she is my best friend here, I will do anything to protect her, maybe I wish for something more, but it can't happen right now, not with the serpent thing i'm still trying to figure out myself, maybe one day all of these secrets, all of this drama will be over and our time together will come to see the light of day, one day hopefully, we'll both have our happy ending, maybe, just maybe we can have it together.
Parker residence (next day):
The morning after nothing happend, we ate breakfast and went to school, just like friends do.
Riverdalehigh student lounge:
We walked into the student lounge, where we saw Archie and Valerie singing together, they are staring quite lovingly at eachother, are they going to kiss?, but soon Veronica spoke up interupting them "not to be that girl, Archie, but I didn't get the memo we were adding another voice to the mix", she said and walked closer to the two.
"Ronnie, Peter, hey, Great news, Valerie here quit the pussycats" Archie said.
Val smiled at us both, I smiled back, but from the look on Ronnies face she didn't like this, "Well I kinda knew, since I was there and all, and if it makes you feel better Val, Josie totally went of on me two and throw me out to", I said sheepisly and rubbed the back of my neck.
"It doesn't, but Mel told me you stood up for me, thank you for that, i'm sorry for the whole slapping you, convincing Josie that you were a cheater, just sorry" Valerie said.
"Its okay, friends?", I asked and extended my hand for her, "friends", she said and shook my hand.
"Anyway, what does that make me then?, back-up?", Veronica said.
"No, I mean, you were just doing me a favor right?", Archie said, I looked at Ronnies face and took two steps to the side, you have done it now Archie, fight fight fight, a hundred bucks on Ronnie, what i'm good for it, Jughead still own me that money.
"You're unbelievable Archie, you litteraly have zero loyalty, you ginger Judas", Veronica said and gave him a glare, yeeeeeeees finally i'm not the one who gets the glare, in your face Archie, thats how it feels.
"Whats wrong Ronnie?", Archie said as he stood up from the couch.
"Whats wrong?, besides the fact that you have no integrity whatsoever, is that your father kissed my mother", Veronica said, wow she scary, me no like scary Ronnie.
"Well maybe I should just go?, yeah, what about you Val?", I said, but Veronica grabbed my arm and now I was on the end of her glare, dang you Parker luck.
"Yeah maybe we should go", Valerie said, and started to get up from the couch.
"No hold on, when my dad told me how he felt, it seemed they were both into eachother", Archie said.
"Dude, they are both married, to ther people. dont you have a problem with that?", I said, what I know, Peter you have been kissing girls left, right and center, but they come onto me, not the other way around, fine i'm a thief, cuff me i'm guilty of stealing girls hearts.
"Hey my mom and dad are separated, and Ronnie dad is", Archie started, but Veronica used her glare and said "my dad is what Archie?", he continued "he's-he's incarcerated, right?", Archie finished.
"Watch it Archie, because that is not the point", Veronica half threatend Archie.
"Ofcourse not, you're right, do you wanna talk about it?, we can go somewhere and talk?" Archie said, but the look Veronica gave him said i'm gonna punch you, he quickly added "do you want your part back?", Ronnie scowl, matching her moms, she is scary.
"Oh, dont you do me any favor Judas", Veronica said, as she grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the student lounge, I turned around and yelled "it was good knowing you Archie".
Riverdalehigh hallways:
I could see the posters for the new pussycats, since they need a new member, "i'm gonna crush him, i'm gonna join the pussycats, and you'll help me right?", Veronica said as she turned towards me.
"Sorry I can't Josie, well, I think she is back to not liking me again, so no thank you, i'm gonna pass", I said, and walked away from her.
"Fine, you're no better than Judas in there", Veronica said, and she soon regretted it when I was in her face.
"What did you call me!?", I asked, she was about to answer, but at interupted her "because you sure as Surtur didn't call me Judas, because I have done nothing, just because you're angry dont take it out on me", I finished, she quickly gave me a hug "i'm so sorry, its just been alot, sorry, see you later", she said and started walking away.
"You know one of these days i'm gonna stay mad at you right?, yeah I didn't think so", I said.
I actually had plans with Betty and Jughead we are going to this Cult house or what ever its called, the bus is leaving in, two minutes i'm soo late, soon I was with them at the bus stop and we traveled to the quite sister thing.
Sisters of quiet mercy:
As we stood out of the bus, and saw the place, it didn't look like a prison, I mean a home for troubled youth, "guys, don't jugde a home for troubled youths by its face, right?", Jughead said.
"Yeah for all we know, it can be a insane asylum on the inside", I said, Betty hit my arm hard, "sorry", I said.
We walked into the house, yeah lets go with this, because this place creeps me the hell out, are we sure this isn't an insane asylum, because it looks like it, we walked to the front desk and Betty spoke up "hi, my name is Elizabeth Cooper, i'm here to see my sister Polly", she said to the front desk lady, what is that called again?, maybe I'll call her Maude, she looks like a Maude, what should I call her Maude?, are you insane, what if she is a witch and its the magic word for her head to spin around, no thank you.
"May I see some identification", the lady said.
"Yeah ofcourse", Betty said as she handed the paper to her, "but they'll both have to wait here", the lady said.
One hour later:
"Peter Parker, what the hell are you doing here", Alice Cooper said, oh my god, why is she here.
Sisters of quiet mercy (unknown pov)
"Peter Parker, what the hell are you doing here, a blonde women yelled at a boy, is my eyes deceiving me, is that Richard standing there?, it can't be, him and Mary have been dead for ten years, they died in an accident they all keep telling me, I have been looking into that, and I tell you, it was no accident, but I swear on your grave, I will find out who killed you, I will hunt those responsible, they all call me crazy for thinking it was murder, but you will be avenged, and that little boy of yours, wait, that guy, it must be their son, I have to talk to him, Peter Parker, I have been condemend to this place because of this, I must tell him he is not safe in this town.
"Miss, you have a visitor", a guard said.
"Who is it", I asked.
"Your daughter miss", he said.
"Hey mom, sorry its been awhile", my daughter said.
"Its so lovely to see you, my you have become beautiful, well lets sit down Felicia, we have alot to discuss", I said.
On the door to the room of the patient the name was: Lydia Hardy.
