Veronica Lodge falls for a mysterious brunette. The New York princess collides with the Southside Serpent but what happens when the two families are at war.
I was sat on the bed while Fallon was forcing me to pick an outfit to wear to court.
"I don't understand why I have to wear a fancy outfit if it's gonna get taken off and thrown in a box for years or months." I said.
"Months and if you're dressed up it shows you're taking it seriously." Fallon said handing me a suit. "Get dressed and come downstairs for breakfast before you've gotta leave." I nodded and got dressed leaving the tie draped around my neck and put on my converse.

I walked downstairs into the dining room and started eating.
"Tie done up, shirt tucked in, shirt all the way buttoned and put your collar down." Blake said. Fallon leaned over and did my shirt buttons and my tie and then put my collar down. I tucked in the shirt and went back to eating.
"What happened to not eating breakfast?" Fallon teased.
"I don't know the next time I get to eat a proper meal is so I'm stuffing myself with flavour while I can." I said.
"You don't even seem scared?" Steven said.
"I learnt a long time ago you can't be scared of the truth or you'll find comfort in lies." I said.
"The truth being?" Fallon asked.
"That she's a 15-year-old girl that made a mistake to protect her family and needs to cut herself some slack," Blake said.
"The truth being I moved a dead teenagers body, dumped it in a river, cleaned up the mess and lied over and over to cops." I said.

I was sat on the steps smoking a cigarette as my phone started ringing. I looked at it see Veronica's name.
V: Oh my god. You answered. I was worried I missed you.
A: I'm sat waiting to be called back into court.
V: Do the cops still wanna know about New York?
A: Yeah they offered me a deal but I'm not taking it.
V: How long was the deal?
A: 90 days prison and 3 months with the mentor family.
V: AJ, take the damn deal and get home to Alana. She's going crazy.
A: I'm not taking the deal. I don't want your brother to go through that again or you.
"AJ, they're ready for you." Steven yelled. I dabbed my cigarette out.
A: I gotta go. Bye Veronica.
Call ended
I stood up and walked back into the courtroom. I sat down.
"Anastasia Paris Jones, how do you plead guilty on the following charges: accessory to murder, moving a body, destruction of evidence and obstruction to justice?" Judge Braxton asked.
"Guilty on counts your honour." I said sitting down.
"Anastasia Jones, I'm sentencing you to 16 weeks in Georgia North State Correctional and after completion of the sentence then 12 weeks with your mentor family under probation terms. I believe you would benefit from the military boot camp program the prison offer which you will complete throughout your time in prison." The judge knocked the gavel down and two officers came and handcuffed me leading me out to the van.

I'd gotten in a fight with an inmate and was recovering in the infirmary.
"Wow not even 3 days into prison and you're already brawling," Fallon said.
"The fucking cunt shouldn't have touched me. You don't step on a snake they got no reason to bite." I said sitting up.
"And now you're here laying in a bed with a busted arm and lips. Black eye and broken nose." Fallon said.
"You find me more attractive with my battle scars?" I asked. Fallon smiled.
"If you didn't have dry blood on your face I'd say yes." Fallon said.
"Aww, thanks babe." I said smirking.
"Even laying beat up in a bed you still don't lose your flirtatious edge." Fallon chuckled. "Oh and you call me babe again and I'll break your knuckles."
"Oh yeah. Course you will trust fund kid." I said wiping the blood off my lip. Fallon took a wipe from the box next to my bed and cleaned the dried blood off. "You're so sweet." Fallon rolled her eyes at me.
"A guy Wyatt called the manor asking for you to ring him." Fallon said.
"Alright I'll call him later." I said.
"So is he your boyfriend?" Fallon asked.
"No. Brother. I'm single and definitely not straight or into guys in the slightest." I said.
"I get sporty athletic vibes from you." Fallon said.
"I'm not a jock. I'm a serpent. I run from cops and deals gone wrong not to catch a ball and act like some pretentious preppy twat." I said.
"Wow," Fallon said offended.
"You're not preppy you're a trust fund kid. You graduated from annoying preppy that's on my ass all the time." I said.
"Aww, thanks." Fallon said. After she left I was allowed back to my cell.
"You alright Jonesy you looking kinda beat up." Cameron, my cellmate asked.
"Not the first time I've been in a fight Cam and it won't be the last. Not where I come from." I said.
"I got the small town vibes from you." Cam said.

I was allowed to make a call. I called Sweet Pea.
S: Jones, I got news.
A: What?
S: Your brother is at Southside high and the bastard has a death wish. He's sat alone. Toni's told him he's gonna get messed up and he said he's a loner. Oh and he went to the Snake charmer.
A: He went to Mom. What the hell? Who took him?
S: Tall Boy. He told him to go meet her and get your dad help cause he's looking at 20 years.
A: Are you near Jughead?
S: Nah.
A: He made his bed he's gonna have to lie in it. How's Alana doing?
S: She's alright Toni's grandfather signed the foster papers and she's crashing with us at our place. She's gonna be okay.
A: I gotta go but tell her I love her.
S: We do every night. Look after yourself Jones.
Call Ended
I was called to the warden's office.
"You've got a phone call." The warden said handing me the phone. I took it off the desk.
H: AJ, Veronica said you were offered a deal if you told them about New York. Why didn't you take it?
A: Because if I did Hermione I would be dead. I'd rather get my head kicked in behind bars than be 6ft under.
