Secrets • Jughead Jones [1]

|Sticky Maple|

Chuck and Veronica were on their "date" and they took a picture on Chuck's phone.

"Okay, let me see. Photo approval." Veronica laughed while looking at the picture.
"Fine." She whispered while smiling at Chuck.

They both chuckled,
"You are different than what I thought you'd be. A former 'it' girl from New York, Madoff-like fall from grace? I assumed you'd be high-maintenance. Tell me, what do you miss most about home?" Chuck said.

"Only everything." She answered,
"I forgot how exhausting it is to be the new kid."

"Try being the new kid whose dad is also the new teacher and the new coach."

"Well, from and outsiders point of view, you've not only proven yourself but, you've raised the bar for everyone around you. Varsity football, Dean's list, Ivy League aspirations. Oh yes, you've been vetted, handsome. Veronica Lodge is nothing if not an informed consumer." Veronica flirted.

"I'm gonna have my hands full with you, huh?" 

"I'm betting you can handle it."

Chuck licked his lips and leaned in for a kiss.  Instead of kissing they started making out.

Flashback to Aria and Chuck

Aria's outfit

Aria was so excited and filled with adrenaline for her first date. Especially since it was with Chuck the hottest person in Riverdale High. She put on her favourite black lace dress with pink underneath, her most expensive bag, Doc.Martins (they were her most comfortable shoes) and her hair in a bow and natural makeup.

Aria's phone lit up with a message.

Chuck❤️: Hey I'm outside you ready

She replied back at the speed of light as she was thrilled.

Aria: I'm coming outside now

She came outside to see Chuck looking handsome with his expensive car. They drove to a woodland area not far from Aria's house. They stayed in the car for a bit when they got there and talked about each other. To Aria it seemed like hours when they were together.

"You look so beautiful."
Chuck flirted as he put a hand on Aria's cheek and leaned in to kiss her. Aria didn't want to make out like Chuck did so she tried to budge back but Chuck wouldn't allow that. She began panicking, dread and fear were the only emotions that enveloped her.

Aria pushed Chuck to get him off her and she did eventually. Chuck had the most scariest facial expression ever. He was vexed. Aria quickly got out of the car leaving her bag behind and sprinted out of the wood. She couldn't breathe, her head was spinning, her eyes blurry but she still carried on running.

Chuck came up behind her, grabbed her arm and pulled her back. Aria screamed for her life. She got every ounce of strength she had in her and kicked Chuck in his dick.

Chuck instantly let go of Aria and grasped the area Aria had kicked. Chuck slowly dropped to the ground in pain.

Aria started to run again, she ran as fast as she could, but she didn't see the tree root in the ground. Her foot tripped over it and she fell to floor. She had hit her head so hard she had nearly, very nearly been knocked out. At this point her clothes were covered in mud and blood and were ripped to shreds. Her face was bruised and she had blood dripping down the side of her face. Aria built up the courage to get up and carry on.

She finally made it to the Blossom house when Penelope came running out the door.

"Aria! Honey! My baby." She sprinted to her daughter and gave her a tight hug. They were both frightened.

"I saw you running up here, I had a weird feeling about Chuck. I'm so sorry I didn't stop you." Penelope apologised.

"Mum, I'm scared." She sniffed.

"It's okay now darling. Your with me. Come on inside, we don't have to tell anyone if you don't want to honey."

For the rest of the night, Aria spent it with her mother, they mostly cuddled while Aria told her what had happened through sobs.

Also, that night after Aria had fell asleep, Penelope got her clothes she had worn on the "date" and burned them to dust. She felt the tiniest bit better once she had done that so her nor Aria would have to look at them again.

✨So this is a really sad chapter, I'm sorry to make you read this but it now means that Penelope and Aria have their own SECRET now and they also have a close mother-daughter bond which Cheryl doesn't have with her Mum. Also, Aria is pretty distant with her dad (Clifford) because she always saw him as an abusive person and she keeps away from Cheryl because they don't like each other at all.✨
