Chapter 17
"Nick tried to rape her," Archie says. I feel my blood start to boil. He waltz into town. Into my fucking town. And does this shit again! What if I would have reported him. Maybe it wouldn't of happened. How many other people did he do this too? How many weren't lucky enough to have someone catch him? How many other people would have been spared if I just spoke up? At this point I had started to cry. And Jughead looks at me worried and confused. Rightfully so. He knew nothing. And here his girlfriend was crying on the phone.
"I'll be there in five Archie," I say. I hang up and look at Jughead.
"Whats wrong?" He asks.
"It's Cheryl," I say, "Nick well he..... I have to go....."
"I'm coming with you," He says.
"Then come on," I say jumping up.
*******
"Cheryl are you okay?" I ask as I approach her. Jughead behind me clutching my hand. She was sitting on Veronica's bed with Josie stroking her hair as she sat in shock.
"No," She says, "I'm not."
"Where the hell is he?" Archie asks ready to fight.
"You can put your cape away, Archie," Cheryl says, "The Pussycats already saved me."
"I feel so sick about this. Nick's a monster. And there's no way he hasn't done this before," Veronica says. Archie and I make eye contact.
"You're right," Archie says.
"What?" Veronica asks. I look at him. My eyes begging him to shut up.
"He's done it before," Archie says.
"Do you have proof?" She asks.
"Who? How do you know?" Betty asks sitting back in a chair.
"He did it to Y/n," Archie says, "she told me." I felt Jughead's hand go limp.
"What?" He says.
"Yeah what?" Josie asks.
"You haven't been within in.... five feet of each other," Veronica says.
"Archie," I plead, "just drop it."
"We aren't dropping the fact you got raped Y/n!" He yells.
"When did it happen?" Jughead asks. He was steaming. It took all he had not to storm out and murder Nick right then and there.
"At a party back in New York," I say. I turn to him, "that's what I was going to tell you before we left."
"And he got away with it?" Cheryl asks. I look at her. I wanted to tell her everything would be fine. That she wold get justice and everything would be normal again.
"My foster parents thought I was saying it for attention," I say, "so I never got to do anything legally about it."
"I wanna press charges. I want Nick to pay," She says, "To suffer. To burn in hell. For you and me and every other girl he's done this to."
"I'll make sure you get justice Cheryl," I say, "he needs to pay."
"Oh he will," Jughead says.
"Juggy," I say.
"No I'm going over there right now," He says, "and Arch you're coming with me."
"Damn right I am," Archie says. Jughead pulls away and stomps out with Archie.
"Boys-" I say.
"No Y/n he needs to get his ass beat for doing that to you," Archie says, "and now Cheryl. Something has to happen."
"But-" I start.
"Its happening," Jughead says stomping out. I sigh and plop down on the bed and look at Cheryl.
"I'm sorry that this had to come out now," I say, "and I'm sorry that he thinks he can do that shit. Honestly. I think we should cut his balls off."
"We should," Betty says.
"No a lot worse than that," She sniffles.
"Stick his dick in a pencil sharper?" I suggest.
"He deserves it," Josie says.
"He deserves every last thing coming to him," Cheryl hisses.
********
"Archie! Jughead!" I scream running into the room. I see they had Nick pinned to the ground and were taking turns beating the absolute piss out of him. I run up to Jughead and attempt to pull him back. This only making Archie hit harder. Veronica tried to get Archie but with no use. "Boys stop he's down!" I was right. Nick's face was bloody and he wasn't fighting back. Jughead stands up and spits on him.
"Ever fucking touch my girlfriend again and I won't stop," He hisses, "I will fucking murder you. Got that?" Archie flips him off and Veronica and I mange to pull them from the scene into my truck. They still were fuming. I look over at Jughead. His white tank top covered in splotches of red. Nicks blood. I swallow hard and continue to drive. A small part of me was happy Nick finally got what he deserved.
********
Jughead and I were curled up in his bed. Outside of his room we heard hot dog barking. "Mmmm," I groan, "get the dog. He's being loud."
"Its cause Toni is out there," He says. Ah Toni. She had come over last night after we came back. Jughead and Archie had almost murdered Nick. Apparently she had got thrown out and needed to stay over. This if course was said when she didn't realize I was there. Bitch better stay in her lane.
"Shhh," I say, "then let her deal with it." I wrap my arms around him. "And we can stay in here and watch Stranger Things."
"As much as I would love that," He says, "I have to work on my novel."
"Lame," I say. He kisses my forehead and climbs off the bed.
"Now get ready," He says.
"Why?" I ask, "I plan on laying here all day."
"You have to go to Lily's," He says.
"Ugh," I groan as I get off the bed and walk out to the living room. My lazy ass didn't care to bring the box with all my stuff into Jugheads's room. I just left it out there. I see Toni first. She was draped in a long T-Shirt of Jughead's. Since she didn't have anything to wear, and insisted that she didn't one of need mine.
"Hey Toni," I say. We had pretty much the same thing on. Although obvious differences included I was wearing shorts under the t-shirt. If anyone was to walk in at this very second they would think some pretty scandalous things. That I of course wouldn't be opposed to. If I didn't think Toni had feelings for Jughead.
"Hey," She says. She was watching something on the TV. I didn't know what it was and I didn't really care. I could hear the shower start to run. Knowing it was Jughead in there. I smirk and walk back to the bathroom and inside.
"Hey Juggy," I tease.
"Hey Y/n?" He questions. The shower curtain the only thing separating us.
"Mind if I join?" I ask as I peel off the clothes from my body.
"Um uh-" He says. He pulls open the curtain, "come on." He grabs my hand and pulls me in causing me to laugh.
"Round 2?" I ask.
"Seriously?" He asks.
"Seriously," I repeat.
