I hate that I love you...

Chapter 26- Disappearance

I wonder who's POV this chapter will be in... I'm getting a lot of more inspiration lately sooo I'll try to update a lot more.

Cheryl's POV...

I feel so bad for Ronnie and for Jug, but mostly Ronnie.

What he said was fowl and if it wasn't for his remorse I probably would've seriously hurt him. I was going to give him a good lecture until I saw the depressive state he had entered. Ronnie really brought out a side of him I've never seen. My dear cousin only brought out the worst and fake Jughead. The one who pretended not to care what people thought about him, when deep down he just wanted to fit in.

I understand that feeling well.

But anyways I'm super worried about Ronnie as always. I haven't seen or heard from her in a week and a half. Usually I'd text or stop by the Pembrooke and we'll chat for a bit. I'd make sure she ate and was taking care of herself. I've been trying to do so, but with no avail. I'll have to go by the Pembrooke today just to see if she would open the door.

I was already on my way so this is perfect.

As soon as I arrived I hopped out my car and made my way upstairs. There I saw Smithers unlocking the door.

"Smithers!" I call after him, before he goes inside.

"Miss Cheryl! What can I do for you?" He asks with a polite smile. Smithers has always been a great man towards all of us, especially Veronica. He's kind of like a grandpa, he just gives off that safe feeling.

"Have you seen or heard from Veronica?" I ask.

"I unfortunately have not heard from miss Veronica, since she told me she was going away for a while" he says and I frown.

She never told me anything about her going away.

"Do you know where she went?" I question, hoping he have a location or at least a general area.

"Unfortunately she didn't let that information slip, I think she knew I'd tell you. I'm sorry" he apologizes and I wave him off.

"It's okay I think I have a few places that she might be" I thank him before leaving and running downstairs.

I quickly dial Toni in hopes that she is by her phone at the moment.

"Hey babe" she greets.

"Hey babe! I'm going pick you and Kev up, because I have some urgent news" I say quickly getting into my car.

"Okay see you when you get here" she hangs up and I zoom over to my house. There stood Toni and Kevin already waiting for me.

"Whats the urgent news?" Kevin asks.

"I'll explain at Jughead's" I tell them, heading over to his.

I got there as quick as I could and knocked on the door a bunch of times. I knew it would take some persistence for him to open the door.

"To what do I owe this visit?" he asks clearly just waking up. He had a bit of attitude, but I'm letting it slide because he's heartbroken.

"If you'd be so kind to let us in I'll tell you what warranted this visit" I push past him and sit on the couch.

"Sure make yourself as comfortable as you can" he says sarcastically, while closing the front door. This boy has a lot of nerve and attitude right now. I was trying to be nice, but he's making it very hard to do so.

"Veronica is missing" I blurt out, making everyone stop and listen.

"Missing?!" Jug asks as a panicked look takes over his features.
