Thus with a kiss || Riverdale •~•~• Bughead (Heartache Juliet Sequel)

I miss...

  S W E E T  P E A

I miss her. I miss Toni.

Her soothing, pastel pink streaks. Her warming  brown eyes. Her smile. That little cheeky smirk she always makes.

We were best friends. And I guess we still are. We are the trio. Jughead, Toni and I. We all look after each other. I guess the whole of the Serpents have there own groups. Sure we'd all die for each other. But we all have those who we would go beyond death for. And for me that's Toni and Jughead. We are the Serpents. We represent the Serpents. And we would do anything for each other. We keep everyone in line and make sure that everyone's doing what they're supposed to do. We take turns. And right now it's my turn. I usually look to Jughead for advice, and then to Toni, but since neither of them are here. I think I might do something stupid, like I always do.

And now.

Now I'm lost without them...

I look over to Sweat Pea, whilst talking to Archie. His head hangs from his slim, bulky body as he sits on the waiting room chair. His eyes look as if he's sobbing. Crying about something. About what?

"One minute guys!" I excuse myself and walk over, sitting in the chair next to him. He jerks up, wiping his eyes with his leather sleeve.
"What do you want?" He returns to his bad boy attitude, asking me without looking at my face.
"I know that you don't exactly want to talk to me-"
"No I don't," He says standing up, "bye now!" I pull him back down to the seat.
"I'm pretty sure I'm all you've got for answers right now so I'd keep your enemies close!" I look him in the eyes but he turns away.
"Fine! What do you want to talk about?"
"Why were you crying?"
"I wasn't crying!" He defends himself, building his walls, except there's no point. He's building them out of glass.
"I can see through you, Sweat Pea! Don't lie to me!"
"You don't give up, do you?"
"Not really," I laugh a little. He stays silent and stares into the pale blue patterns on the walls. "So?" I press.
"I told you! I wasn't crying!"
"Psychopath," I mumble, "I told you! Don't lie to me!"
"What do you want me to say?" He shouts, "I miss them! Well of course I do! They're my best friends! And now they're gone! Disappeared! Disintegrated from the face of the Earth!" He stands up and uses his body to express how angry he is. "But you know what makes me laugh?" He smiles, crazily, "both of them get hurt, when they're around you!" He points his finger into my face. "They always get hurt or go missing, either for you or around you!" He skipped a chair and sat down. "I'm useless without the pair of them. And they're probably missing because of you! Ha! I wouldn't be surprised if you locked them away somewhere." He starts imagining the horrifying picture. "Every night, you just torture Toni with the sound of his screaming voice and you hurt him until he says he love you! Because that's what's in your little psychotic mind! That's the darkness in you! You think I'm the psychopath? I guess you just don't look in the mirror enough the-"
"Shut up!" I cut him off. "It's all about you and about what you can do and can't do. All about what you need and don't want. Jughead gave everything to you!"
"And I gave everything to him!" There's a pause of silence. "It's not about me sweety. You see," he stands up, " all of this is because of you!" He walks away.

I sit there in the waiting room for about another half an hour, alone. People try and approach me, but I turn them down instantly. I feel Serpent eyes, burning into my head from all directions, especially Sweat Pea's. I actually feel so bad for him. I don't understand why, but it seems everything we've been through, he's always had it worse. And now, everything I've said to him.

I must be lying to myself.

T O N I  T O P A Z

It feels like days. Days I've been trapped in here. Maybe it's just been hours, maybe it's been minutes. But what if it's been months. Years.

I slowly lose myself, in an outer body experience, watching my sanity flood from my body and insanity creep it's way in. I lose my mind, sitting in the dark, dirty corner of the mysterious room. I want Jughead to be beside me, holding me and telling me everything's okay. I want Sweat Pea in front of me, telling me stupid facts about some weird knife his friend invented. 
"Toni Topaz!" A loud voice echos from a speaker in the corner diagonally away from me. This is the first voice I've heard this whole time.
"Hello?" I shout. My whole train of thought has disappeared over the past few...
"I have a little gift for you! A small piece of Home as you may call it!"
"What?"
"Who are you?" It's Jughead. His voice fills the whole room.
"Juggie!" The confusion and pain in his voice fills my brain, letting more sanity flow out.
"Who are you? Why are you doing this?" He repeats questions, wanting an answer desperately.
"Jughead!" I stand up and look at the speaker. "Jughead!"
"What are you doing?" His voice continues. "Get off me!" Jughead shouts, "Stop!"

The speaker cuts out.

That last word stays ringing through my head. "Stop!" "What are you doing?" What did he do to him? Why would he hurt Jughead?

Why is...doing all of this?

I slide my back, down the corner of the wall, sitting back into the dark space I have been for...

I don't know anymore...
