"Growing distance from your explanations
We're getting deeper in this mess
Take careful contemplation
I'd rather be spitting blood
Than have this silence fuck me up"

The visit to Archie's house was awkward, all three of us were quiet, we didn't really have anything to say except for Veronica telling Archie to get well soon.
I have no clue what's going on between them or if there was anything going on between them but as I told myself before I'm not going to allow my jealousy to come between us being friends.

Later that evening i went home, i was tired from being at school, i really needed to sleep but every time i close my eyes flashbacks of that day comes back.
Because of my mom on my ass twenty four seven, I'm seeing a shrink once every week.
I used to see one when i was fourteen until a year before, i didn't want anyone to know about me or my so called 'condition' that i had, but now i was back at that dreadful place.
The next day, Forty five minutes of sitting and talking about everything that happened this past months, when I spoke of it, it was like I was reliving it.
I tried my best to put it into my unconscious mind but it comes back every night when I close my eyes as flashbacks.
Sleep, that is what I started lacking this past months, I needed sleep.
A person must get an average of six to eight hours of sleep per day but I manage to get like four because of the constant night mares and flashbacks.
My shrink keeps asking me questions about how I feel about all this, what can I say? I say I'm doing fine.
Fine, a word every single person likes to use to describe themselves when even if they aren't fine.
For example when Archie and Veronica kissed I told both of them I was fine when in fact I was hurting and it killed me inside just thinking about it.

A few days later, when we were at school we had sat and discussed about how some girl was found dead in the south side.
When I searched deeper and asked Sheriff Keller for more information he gave me the file, an autopsy had been conducted on her body and it was found that she had been drugged with the exact same one I was drugged couple months ago. Everyone just assumed it was one of the serpents but me, I was certain whoever did it was connected to Jeremy or maybe it was Jeremy himself since he was released a couple of days back but he had to leave the state and I'm pretty sure that the officers or whoever was in charge would have made sure he left, but maybe somehow he was still here or he had people like him here. Maybe he had connection with the serpents but I wasn't completely sure.

I was sitting and writing all this in my diary,

"Honey, dinner is ready." My dad comes in and I immediately put my diary under my pillow.

"Dad! What if I was changing?! Please knock next time!" I tell my dad, he always does this and I hate it.

"Well maybe if you were changing consider shutting the curtains before you do." He looks over at my window and back at me.

"Ugh, okay." I say and he reminds me again,
"Come down for dinner, mom has made your favorite."

"Okay I'll be there in five." I say and he nods and leaves my room.

I quickly pick up my diary from under my pillow and shove it in my hiding place inside my drawers, I don't want my parents to know anything about this case before it has been properly solved.

*****
I'm sorry for the short chapters, they are just fillers.

But who do you think killed the girl?
A serpent or one of Jeremy's friends or Jeremy himself?
