Hello everyone it is I, I hope you enjoy the chapter, lets get into the story
Riverdale high (Peters pov):
I stood outside with Veronica and just glancing around seeing all the happy faces of the other students, "you think we will ever have this?", I said and turned towards Veronica.
"What do you mean?", Veronica asked as she looked towards me with one eyebrow risen.
I gestured to the other students with my hand, "being this happy, just smiling, like that dude over there", I started and pointed to a teen who stood with his girlfriend I presume.
"Maybe because they dont know what lay beneathes the surface of the small town of riverdale, we have stared into the abbeys and survived", veronica said as she just smiled at me.
"Sometimes I just wonder what would be if we didnt have all this responsibility on our shoulders, sometimes I just wish it was just you and me on a beach, with a drink in our hand just enjoying life", I said and looked to the other students, "you ever wish you didnt have so much responsibility?", I asked her.
"Ofcourse Peter, ofcourse I wonder what would be if we were 'just' us, and how much I would like that to be the case sometime, but what we have is amazing, what we're going to become is amazing, what you have done for new York and for me, you're amazing", she said and pulled me in for a hug.
"This is nice", I said and pulled away from the hug, "but you're right, we play the cards we're dealt and you and I have found eachother in this town ups and downs and everything in between", I said, I looked past Veronica and into the School spotting cheryl, "speaking of things that is not our responsibility but kinda is, im going to talk to cheryl about the whole Jughead thing", I said and started walking into the School.
"See you", Veronica said as she blew a kiss my way, I grabbed it and put it in my pocket.
Riverdale High girls lockerroom:
I Saw Cheryl Wall into here with tears going down her face.
"Cheryl?", I asked as I walked further into the dressingroom.
"This is the girls lockerroom Peter, I could be naked", Cheryl said as she dried her eyes for the tears that had gone down her cheek.
"I took my chance", I said and sat down on the bench, cheryl turned around and faced me, "I barely touched the hobo", cheryl said.
"You know its not his fault for what his father have done", I said and Saw the tears go down her face again, I pulled a tissue out from my pocket and offered it to cheryl for her to cry her eyes again.
"Everybody keeps coming up to me, hugging me and asking how are you doing?, how the fuck do you think im doing?", she whisper yelled.
"Not great, I know what you're going through, as said in the locker room I know what's its like having your loved ones ripped from your life, I know it hurts Cheryl, but do not blame Jughead for something his dad did, I never blamed the family of the guy that killed uncle Ben, to be honest I blame myself more than I blame him", I said and stared out into the lockerroom.
"It almost Sound like you killed your uncle", Cheryl said.
"I didnt kill him" I said with a shake of my head.
"How did you get over his death because with my brother murder caught, I should be relieved, that the nightmare is over, but why doesnt it feel that way?", she said and let the tears Fall again.
"I'll let you know when I have, because I honestly dont think I ever will, but I have learned to live with the pain, I have learned to use the pain, and I think its because deep down you might know FP might not have killed your brother", I said.
"Im sorry for how I have treated you Peter", cheryl said as she scooted closer on the bench, she looked me in the eyes and leaned closer, "Can I kiss you?", she asked and stared into my eyes.
"No", I said and shook my head at her, "I have girlfriend", I said and could see her smile, "cant blame a Girl for trying right?", she said and let out a small giggle.
"Right", I said and shook my head, "for whats it worth im sorry for what I said at the party", I said and walked out into the hallway.
Riverdale High hallway:
"Oh my god is that cheryl walking out of the lockerroom right after Peter?", a student said.
"Isnt he dating Veronica?", a vixen said.
"Yeah, just wait until she hears", another vixen let out.
"Holy hell Peter nailed cheryl in the showers", a jock yelled.
"And what if we did?, Huh you wanna test a Blossom?, I Can make you dissapear with a snap of my fingers", cheryl yelled and suddenly everybody backed off, huh cheryl Can be quite scary when she wants to be.
As I walked the hallway I say Betty sitting by the principals Office.
"Hey Betty", I said as I joined her at the vacant spot next to her.
"Hey Peter", Betty said with a small smile, "how come all this bad stuff happens to Jughead?", she finished and looked at me.
"My guess is they need a scapegoat, and this is a great chance to get Jughead out of the northside and thrown back into the southside, where they think he belongs", I said and just stared into the hallway.
"You might be right Peter, but Jughead belongs here with us, with me", she said as she connected her hands and looked down.
"I know he does, you know he does, Archie know it, veronica knows it, but the most importen people doesnt, because they're so far up the Blossoms asses that Keller and Weatherbee must have a huge bill for mints with all the crap they're letting out", I finished, and Betty let out a small laugh.
"Its kinda amazing that you're so new here and have so much figured out, are you some kind of wizard?", she said and laughed.
"Not a wizard, just know I have made some wrong decisions before and lets just say I Can sense bullshit coming far away", I said, just then the door to the principals Office opened and out walked Jughead jones the third, still how cool is his name, like I could be called Peter Richard Benjamin Parker the first of his name, master of the spiders, loved by lots, okay okay, sorry I will shut up with the game of thrones references No need to sue me, dont actually sue, im just a poor boy nobody loves me, not a Queen fan either Got it...
"Hey Jug", we both said as we started walking beside him.
"Hey", he said and just continued to walking.
"What happend in there?", Betty asked as we continued to walk.
"The second time today I have been interrogated, I dont know who is the bigger dick Weatherbee or Keller", Jughead said, god its sad to see my friend being the punchingbag for something he didnt do.
"Doesnt matter, what matters is we prøve your dad didnt so it", I said, Jughead stopped and turned towards Betty and I, "who killed him then?, do you have any evidence?, tell me, if it wasnt my dad then who was it?", Jughead said with a sigh, "I really appreciate what you have done for me Peter, I really so, you're like my brother at this point, but my dad said he did it, and you know what im starting to believe he actually has done it", Jughead said and just looked at me hoping I had a solution.
"I dont have the answers you're looking for right now, but trust me when I say this, soon I will have the answers", I said, he just stared at me, "No, im done and you guys should be too, I have given him so many chances, and im done", Jughead said and stormed away.
"You giving up?", Betty said as she looked at me.
"No way in hell, what about you?", I said and looked at Betty.
"Hell No", Betty said.
"Then lets Nancy Drew this shit", I said put my hand up in a fist bump position, then Betty Cooper gave it a High five, does this look like a High five position?
Parker neighbourhood:
There was a knock on the door, "Jughead?, what Can I do for you?", May said as she opened the door wider ao he could Enter.
"I just needed to talk to Peter, and Well sorry you guys are busy, I'll come back another time", he said and started to leave.
"Oh its fine sweet heart, you're always welcome here", May said and gave him a smile.
"I just need a place to stay for the night", He said and looked down at the floor.
"You're welcome to stay here", may said and brought him in for a hug.
"Why are you so Nice to me?", Jughead asked and looked at May.
"Well, a friend of Peters is always welcome here, me, your dad and Peters dad go way back", may said and smiled at the memory
"I know, was my dad always like this", Jughead asked.
"Oh No, he was a very sweet kid, he actually didnt want to be a serpent when we went to High school, but here we are, 15 something years later, that is a story for another time", May finished.
"Do you think my dad did it?", he asked and looked at her.
"It doesnt matter what I think, but No I dont think he killed him", she said and smiled at the boy.
"Hey may, hey Jughead", I said as I entrede the Living room.
"Hey Peter, say hi to your new roommate for the night", may said with a smile.
"Sure thing, top or bottom bunk?, the right answer is top by the way Jughead", I said and laughed at him.
"Top bunk it is", Jughead said.
Night time:
"Thank you for looking after me Peter", Jughead said from the top bunk.
"No problem, I look after my friends and protect Them if I need to", I said.
"I remember", Jughead laughed
Flashback Jugheads birthday:
"What the hell is secrets and sins?", Jughead asked.
"Well, its a variation on truh or dare, in which we own our truth by telling it like it is, I'll start the game with Veronica Lodge", Cheryl said.
"Naturally", Veronica said.
"Lets begin with the day you and your mob wife of a mother came to town, for a so-called fresh start, tell us Veronica what is so fresh about defiling Archie Andrews in a closet?", Cheryl said.
"That was your doing", Veronica said.
"Moving onto daddy Lodge, isn't it true that your father illegally purchased the drive-in land?, which makes me wonder what else is he using from behind bars", Cheryl said.
"Well, I can't speak for my father, but I can think of someone with a very dirty secret here", Veronica started she looked to me and gave me a nod, oh its on "specifically, Cheryl killing her own brother", Veronica said.
"Everyone knows how much I loved my brother", Cheryl said.
"Excatly, but maybe you loved him in a way that a sister shouldnt love a brother?, So as you got older Jason started to think it was Strange, unnatural even", I started, Cheryl looked around the room, why was she so nervous herr?, Veronica continued "so he chose Polly over you, so you shot him in the eyes with one of your fathers many hunting rifles", Veronica finished, we gave eachother a little fist bump.
"Okay this game is sick, so I wanna go next", Dilton said.
"Well thats the spirit Doiley, what secrets do you have to reveal to us?", Chuck asked.
"I saw car by sweetwater river the day Jason went missing, I told Betty and Jughead, and then ms. Grundy quit her job, and left riverdale, like, two days later, and lets not forget the fact that Archie was also at sweetwater river that morning", Dilton finished.
"Wow Archie Andrews, is that why you became a mediocre musician over night?, because you and miss Four-eyes were getting busy?", Cheryl said.
"Wait what?, Andrews was banging a teacher?, I wish I would have known then you would have been put in the book", Chuck said.
"Dont say anything Archie, dont indulge them", I said.
"Oh Parker, dont think I have forgotten about you", Chuck started, "Well okay its my turn now then, so sweet little innocent parker here isn't what he seems to be, because what I saw was strange, not alot of people wears leather jackets with a serpent on the back around town, so that means she must be a southside serpent, which means you're banging a serpent slut", Chuck started, I clenched my fist, Fp looked over wt me but saw my hand unclenched again, i'm not gonna hurt Chuck, "so Peter, why dont you tell everyone here how you got with the waitress from pops, Malia, Dahlia", Cheryl interupted "Felicia", she said, "oh thats right thank you Cheryl, Felicia, whom if memory serves correct, broke you and Josie up, caused a rift in your friendship with Veronica here, and still you're banging a serpent slut", Chuck said, he laughed, i'm not gonna hurt Chuck, "Well from the look on Veronicas face she didn't know that, no one here did, maybe you have been running around with Veronica also, I mean mother like daughter a Lodge slut", he finished, okay i'm going to hurt him now, before he could react I connected my fist with his jaw, gasps was heard as Chuck walked backwards, he threw a punch at my face but I caught it and twisted his hand to the side, I continued to punch Chuck in the face, over and over, until a pair of arms wrapped around me, I turnés around ready to fight the next person, but saw it was Veronica.
"Please stop Peter", Veronica said into my back, I started to calm down, Chuck tried to punch me, but Fp grapped him before he could, Chuck was bleeding, and was thrown out, Cheryl was still here my gaze settled on her, I gave Ronnie a nod that I was alright now, I walked towards Cheryl, "Cheryl just go home no one wants you here", I said.
"not even you?", Cheryl said, through a smirk, that fucking smirk i, gonna punch that right of you, Ronnie went by my side and took my hand.
"not even me Cheryl, i'm done, i'm done defending you, i'm done trying with you, i'm just done, you're nothing but a spoiled rich girl, I tried helping you, but each time you go back to this person, who I would rather punch in the face than talk to", I said.
"you're the one who punched Chuck when he spoke of that serpent slut and the Lodges", Cheryl finished but soon realised what she had done.
"I swear to Thor I won't hesitate to kick your fucking ass Cheryl right here right now, get the fuck out of here, before I force you to leave bitch", I yelled at Cheryl.
"dont you mean not so nice lady?", Cheryl said.
"no i'm Pretty sure I meant bitch", I said as Cheryl with tears in her eyes left.
"Remind me not to piss Peter Parker off, again", Valerie said.
"Well if he is willing to hurt Cheryl, you punched him and he walked away, he must really hate Cheryl", melody said.
"Yeah, Well if you guys haven't noticed the party is over, go home", Fp yelled inside the house, and reppeated himself when he got outside the house.
"Parker", Fp said.
"What?", I asked.
"You remind me so much of your father, this is excatly what happend when a guy tried something with your mother, and he beat him up", he said, and smiled at the memory "he fought for the one he loves, and I believe the one you love isn't Felicia, I think its the Lodge in there that have your heart", he said and walked away.
"Fp, thanks", I said.
"Dont mention it kid, as said we look out for our own", he said as he went over to Jughead.
Jughead stormed out, I grapped his arm, "what?!", he yelled.
"You wanna rethink that tone, you saw what happend to Chuck in there", I quipped.
"Oh it was amazing seeing him getting beaten up, but this isn't my scene, see you", he said, and started to walk away.
"Look, this isn't my table, but Jug dont walk away from Betty", I said.
"What?, i'm supposed to take love advice from you?", he said through a smirk.
"Oh no, just know thst Betty is amazing, and you will kick yourself for letting her go, this might not be what you had expected, but it was...interesting, lets go with that, listen go, talk to her, be there for her, open up to her", I said.
"Fine", he said and entered the house again to find Betty.
Flashback end
"It was interesting seeing your protect Veronica, Felicia to some degree me, hell I even think you saved my relationship with Betty or atleast made it stronger", Jughead said with a laugh.
"How so?", I asked confused.
"You made me talk to Betty, made us talk about our relationship, and for that I thank you", he said.
"Oh right, then you're welcome", I said.
"Then since we're friends now, I think I have to tell you this so No one blindsides you later, I think Archie has a crush on Veronica", he said.
"Why would you say that", I asked trying to conceal my anger towards a certain redheaded neighbour.
"Im telling you this, so you Can talk to Archie, because I want you both to be in one piece, I know if he took Veronica from you, I know what you did to Chuck would seem like childs play, and I dont want to lose one of my oldest friends if I had to choose", Jughead said.
"You would have choosen my side?", I asked.
"Yes, I love Archie like a brother but he pushed me aside, you never looked down on me, never looked down on my living situation and I know I would havenyou back if it came to that", Jughead said.
"Thank you Jughead, this means alot, and I promise I will not kill Archie if he tries to take Veronica from me", I said and could here his laugh.
"I hope you're right about my father, you have given me something that I had lost, hope", Jughead started, I could hear the bed creek " good night", Jughead said nd let out a yawn.
"Good night Jughead", I said and Saw my phone buzz.
Bombshell: thank you for today Peter, it means alot

Bombshell: do you think they have the right guy?
