Getting up I started putting on my clothes looking back at Jug who was still sleeping I kissed his lips before heading out I have to rally more people to fight with us I thought to myself and I grabbed my jacket and headed outside hopping on my bike.

"You got everything," I said putting out my cigarette in the ashtray and Mary nodded soon Mary's phone rang she started talking "Betty, are you and your mom okay?" she said before looking up at me "What's up" I said and she placed her phone on speaker putting it down on the middle of the pool table. "Babe repeat to me what you just said"

"Am I on speaker?"

"Yeah Mel and FP's here"

"Mel...Mr. Jones, is Jughead with you?"

"No, he's at the trailer. Why?" I asked

"I'm just really worried about him he called and told me to tell Mel how much he loves her he said he was afraid to do it himself and it almost sounded like he was saying goodbye for good." I looked at the phone and then looked at FP.

"Toni, where was Penny hiding out?" I said looking over at Toni she told me right away and I looked over at FP "Go" I said and he ran out the door soon I heard his bike revving. "Let's go" I said and we followed Toni to the place Mary called the people that need to be called and finally everyone was there. "Where is he? Where's Jug?" I said jumping off my bike and everyone shook their head no... they didn't know where Jug was what good were they really then.

"Guys" Archie said as we saw a figure come out of the woods as the person got closer they were carrying something...no wait....no ....no....NO.....NO....NO......NO.....NO....NO...NO....NO....NO

Walking closer to the person it was FP and he was carrying Jughead a beating and horrible bruise Jug the left for did look him over he was covered in blood and I hardly was able to recognize him scanning him over I looked at his arm and there was a chuck of his skin missing exactly where his tattoo was supposed to be. It felt like my heart stopped and my ears started ringing, my vision started to get blurry as I walked closer to FP my legs almost gave out under me.

"Mel" FP said as I touch Jughead face my Jughead face softly he was beaten so badly by more than people's hands "Mel" FP said again finally I looked up at him "I'm going to kill them" I try to say loudly but it came out as a whisper. I kissed Jughead's forehead "Take him to the hospital talk to Dr. Mou tell him Marilyn sent you, tell him who Jughead is to me, and tell him who you are...don't hide a secret from Dr. Mou FP tell him everything he wants to know and I mean everything" I said and FP nodded and I started to walk away "where are you going?" Mary asked me "Greendale I have to go see someone"

"Our cousin?"

"Are cousin is too nice to actually give me what I want I'm going to see the Prudence Blackwood"

"Then I'm coming with you"

"No you need to look after everyone I need you here" I told her before taking off my necklace and handing it to her "If you want to get in contact with me but can't reach me on my phone this is the way" I told her and she nodded before hugging me "I'll look after everyone while you're gone"

"I love you" I said hugging her tighter "I love you too," she said sighing we finally let go and I got on my bike and headed to see the one girl I know who would give me anything I want.

"He's awake," I said running up to Toni, Betts, Mary, and FP "Yeah he's awake and he's been asking for you," FP said and I nodded before walking into the room, pulling my jacket off I sat it on the chair nearby walking slowly over to Jug he looked up giving me a weak smile "How are you?" I asked standing next to him as he grabbed my hand he held it up to his face kissing my palm "Better now that you're here, come lay with me" he said and I smiled taking my shoes off and climbing into the bed next to him as he wrapped his arms around me and I laid my head on his chest this felt right this felt like home and I wouldn't want to get up anytime soon.
