archie when you find him awake one night

"y/n, you scared me."

"archie, what the hell is going on?"

"okay, this looks weird i know. but i just- i want to feel in control again. i'm scared, i admit it, but you-"

"stop with the excuses archie! you need help, you can't keep staying awake like this, it can cause serious problems."

"you don't understand! all i care about is my dad! and if he's not okay then i'm not either."

"but he's okay, arch. and you're not. what does that say?"

***

this was longer but i mean

it's pretty obvious archie is suffering from ptsd and like

no one suggests any help

i understand they dont know whats going on at home but after all the shit EVERYONE has been through, it's kind of unrealistic for them to get no psychiatric help whatsoever or suffer no mental consequences

like if i saw a murder i'd be pretty screwed up

aND NO ONE SUGGESTS ANY HELP HDDLKJSSBJD

if my friend saw a murder i would 100% recommend seeking SOME form of help
