wc: 677

scott finally got here, but as soon as he got here he decided to drag me out of the house and into the woods. where i was just with betty, concerned for archie.

but hopefully it's a better experience.

he grabbed my head, "c'monnnnnn." he laughed, making me laugh along with him. this is the first time i've ever felt a smile on my face in a long time.

"it'll be fun!" scott says, still trying to convince me to walk over the narrow bridge across the stream of water.

"don't be a baby!" scott says.

"i'm not a baby." i say with a serious face, trying hard not to burst out laughing.

"then c'mon!"

"fine!"

scott ends up walking all the way across before me, making it mentally harder for me to trust myself on this little tree branch, that could really snap at any second.

i finally got to the end but ended up falling into scott instead of jumping off easily like scott just did.

we both are surprised for a second before we start laughing, but then we both suddenly stop, leading up to him kissing me.

i just smile after, i don't know how i feel about everything right now. but i do know archie isn't sitting at home alone right now, he can't be! he's way too codependent. so why do i feel so guilty? is it because i think i might actually be into scott..

the moment fades as my phone starts to ring. i'm really starting to despise the sound of it.

the caller id says archie's name.

but i don't want to answer.

"thanks for today."

scott smiles and nods, kissing me on the forehead before letting me go inside and him back to his car. i wave 'bye' to him as he drives off. i'm left smiling as wide as i can, and i can't control it.

but then i feel eyes on the side of my face, my head turning to see archie, who was watching the whole thing, staring longingly at me.

we both say nothing and walk back into the houses.

betty dragged me out of bed and now the four of us are standing outside, trying to figure out what to do.

my dad didn't kill jason.

and the killer is after me, if my dad doesn't confess.

"look jughead."

archie hands me a blackmail letter that he intercepted onto the way to my dad.

confess, or that pretty girl crying over you the other night, will end in the same fate as jason blossom.

i couldn't even make out words.

"so he didn't do it."

betty and archie both shake their heads.

i guess i should've tried to hear betty out before, but after everything... i was just so fucking tired.

"i know it's a lot to take in jug but.."

"don't act like we're fine archie."

"this isn't about us, this is about your dad being framed. and you."

they came up with a plan.

archie sent a letter out to the address it was mailed to the police station from, acting like he was fp that basically just said :

i won't do it.

we needed this for jughead to be bait to find out who jason's real killer is, or for just a clue to who he is.

veronica, archie and betty sat around a campfire, trying to play it normal. making it known that jughead was alone and vulnerable.

veronica rested her head against archie's shoulder, making jughead look up from her bow and onto archie instead. archie knew jughead was watching so he looked up at her, revealing her location to anyone that was watching them, which might of costed her, her life.

maybe she did like scott a little.

but she loves archie.

as soon as i saw them getting closer, a sharp pain hit my head. i realized it wasn't mental, it was physical, when i fell to the ground and heard archie shout louder than i've ever heard anyone scream.

thats when everything went black.
