Slowburn (Roxy x Archie AU//Fan Fiction)

Gossips, Gossips

Archie is sleeping soundly in his condo, he's like a baby in a fetal position hugging one of his pillows. It's been months since he manage to doze this peacefully, his recent interactions with her might be one of the obvious reasons.

His serenity was disturbed when he heard a continuos sound of doorbell, he tried to fight the sound by pressing the pillows on his ears but the disturbance is too much for him to handle.

He stood up from his bed, furiously scratching his head as he walks toward the door. He peeked on the door's peephole and saw Z pressing the doorbell nonstop with unpleasant expression on her face.

"Z, what the fuck! It's what? 5 in the morning?" Archie exclaimed as he opened the door. "School starts at 8am for fuckin' christ sake!"

"Yes I know Kuya, that's why I arrived early so we can talk." Z said.

"Can I just have a cup of coffee?" Archie asked as he scratch his eyes and yawned.

"No, you need to tell me what the hell happened last Saturday!"

"Yeah, you and Gino ditched me. right?" Archie answered sarcastically.

"Well I'm sorry? Pero if alam ko lang kung kanino ka didikit that night, I should just come na lang."

Archie stared at her puzzled. "Can you just tell me what you need from me Z?"

Z rolled her eyes as she pulled out her phone from her pouch. She showed him photos of Roxy: When she's at the top of the table dancing, doing shots and also dancing with Wendy and some guys. Archie knows what exactly happend that night, but those photos show a different story.

"San galing to?" Archie asked Z, he is worried but he tried not show it to her.

"Well, it's posted sa forum page ng Northford. Actually I don't really care about her, what concerns me is may picture ka din kasama niya."

Archie scrolled down the photos, there's also pictures of Roxy and him. By the looks of it, it seems that the person who uploaded the photo wants to implied malice on her.

He checks the comment section:

"Wow, it seems there's a new resident whore in Northford."

"Ganyan ba pag broken, lumalandi?"

"Pustahan, Archie and Roxy slept together!"

"Roxy is shaking what her Mama gave her."

Archie was pissed, he wants to beat the hell out of those people who left malicious comments about her. At the same time, he felt an overwhelming concern for Roxy.

"Did she already saw this? should I just give her a call?" He thought to himself.

"Kuya, please.. please just tell me you didn't sleep with her." Z said.

"No Z, we did not have sex." Archie answered.

"Eh bakit kayo magkasama? sabi ni Simone the whole night you just checking on her."

"She's drunked, I just drove her home." Archie explained, while skipping the part that she slept in his place.

"Really? You did that for her, what for?"

"Z, lasing yung tao. Pabayaan ko? Saka pwede ba, just give me a break. Whoever I associate with, is none of your business." Archie said.

"Yes kuya, anyone but her!" Z exclaimed. "You know she's with Sky right? That bitch, she tried to get with Gino, then Tim with Poch tapos ikaw naman ngayon?"

Archie noticed that Z slowly having a hard time breathing, her hands and lips are also shaking. She is having another trigger, he immediately walks towards her to calm her down.
