~ROSE'S POV~

Jughead, Archie, Betty, Kevin, Veronica and I were sitting in our booth. After I finished explaining myself about the other day, we just sat and talked. I looked at my phone and saw the time.

"Shit." I said as I stood up. I grabbed my stuff and threw them into my bag.

"Where are you going?" asked Veronica. After my thread of burning her, Betty and her figured it out and I apologized and told her that sometimes I was overly protective of my friends. She understood and we were okay, I guess.

"I have a doctor appointment." I said. "See you later, guys."

"Bye Pop." I said as I walked out of the door. Jughead rushed behind me and grabbed my arm.

"Are you going to be okay?" he asked me. I nodded. Why wouldn't I be? It was just an ordinary appointment. I was going down the hospital every week, asking if I will gain my memories back and have the same old answer. 'We are not sure, but it's okay honey. Blah blah blah.'

I didn't understood why I had to go, it was the same thing again and again.

"We don't know."

"Maybe it's better this way."

"It's not your fault that you can't remember."

They were telling me it's okay to not remember when they should've helped me gain my memories back.

"Rose?" said Jughead. "You zoned out for a minute. Are you sure you are going to be fine?"

"Yeah, I'm sure. You go, work on your novel, eat hamburger or whatsoever." I said. "I should really go, I'm late already."

"Okay, see you tonight." he said. I nodded and walked to my car as he walked in Pop's.

"Jason!" I screamed as I tried to stand up but I was tied down to the chair. A black figure hit me, telling me to shut up in some way. The figure turned to Jason. Pulled out a gun, I couldn't see his face, didn't know where I was but I knew Jason was going to die in that very moment.

I closed my eyes to not see my brother's brain pop up.

BANG!

"JASOOON!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as I heard the gunshot.

The figure walked towards me and everything went black.

~CHERYL'S POV~

I heard Rose's screams, she was screaming his name. I rushed to her room, opened the door to see her shaking, she was repeatedly saying his name.

"Rose." I said. "Rose, wake up."

She slowly opened her eyes.

"Jason, I-I-saw..." she tried to talk but I didn't let her.

"Calm down. You can tell me later." I said as I hugged her gently. I wasn't going to lose her too, seeing her crying like this was breaking my heart.

Everybody thought that I was a heartless bitch, but it was only partly true. I'm not dying it, I didn't care about most people but I cared about my triplets.

Rose and I were not that close, both of us used to get along with Jason, but after his death we started to care more about each other. We knew we couldn't handle to lose each other too.

After an hour, we were calmly talking on her bed. She told me to go to bed, she didn't want me to go to school looking like a zombie. I went to my room.

I knew why she told that was she could sneak out and meet with Jughead at that little diner Pop's.

I didn't care, they used to date before the incident, after all. They've been dating for almost 2 years.

~ROSE'S POV~

After I decided I didn't looked like just cried I entered Pop's. "Hi Pop." I said smiling at the old man.

"Hi Rose. You sit down, I'll bring your orders." he said. I nodded and spotted Jug, sitting in his casual booth.

"Hi." I said as I sat down across him. He looked up from his computer and narrowed his eyes.

"Did you cried?" he asked. Damn.

"N-No." I said and laughed nervously. He looked at me, waiting for me to tell the truth. "Fine, yeah. How did you know? I couldn't even tell myself when I looked in the mirror."

"I'm full of surprises, Blossom." he said smirking. "You always do the weird eye thing after you cried. I know you too well."

How can he know so much about me when I couldn't even remember him? He knew me, every piece of me but all I knew about him was tiny little pieces, 4 or 5 memories that I could remember.

"Here you go, kids." said Pop as he put a hamburger and a milkshake on the table.

"Thanks Pop." Jughead said. Pop Tate smiled and walked away. "Why did you cry?"

"Well, it's not so important. I'd rather not talk about it." I said trying to avoid telling him about the memory.

"It made you cry. Clearly it is important." he said. "So talk, Blossom."

"Really nothing imp-" I didn't finished the sentence when I saw the look on his face, demanding me to tell him. "Fine, Jug. I'll tell you."

He looked at me, waiting for an explanation. It was hard for me to talk about it. In some kind of weird way, I still believed that Jason would come, just like he promised. Even though they found his body, I couldn't help but hope. But after remembering that thing, it was hard.

Jason was not coming back. He was gone.

"I remembered JJ's death."
