Chapter 28

*Your POV*
Veronica, Kevin and I are all sitting on his floor in his room. He's explaining some board game to us. I think it's called The Cones of Dunshire? "And if you roll a six, you can take over the Kingdom of Theodore," Kevin explains. He had to skip some instructions because some of the pieces were missing. He didn't look too happy when he found that out.

"Interesting." Veronica nods, but I can tell that she has no idea what's going on. Her phone starts ringing, and she looks at it. "Um, I'm going to go get a bevy. Do you want anything?" She looks at Kevin and me.

"A glass of milk would be great."

"Soda?" I ask. She nods and walks out the door. I look back at Kevin. "So.."

"I can tell that you guys aren't interested in this game, and that's okay," he chuckles.

I sigh, "I'm sorry." I playfully wine.

He laughs, "You're good," he nods and starts to put the game pieces back in the box. "You and Jughead together now? What's the story about that?"

"We made up. We were fighting, because we both thought that we said things that we really didn't, and then after the road race, we made up." I nod. "And I'm happy that we did."

"Me, too. [shipname] was my OTP."

"[Shipname]? Seriously?"

He laughs, "What? It's cute." I just give him a look. "What, do you want [other (worse) ship name] instead?"

I laugh, "Alright, alright. Just..wait until he hears that." We both chuckle. I look over at the doorway, "What's taking her so long?" I look back at Kevin, "Don't you guys just have drinks in the fridge in the kitchen?"

"Yeah, we do. Maybe she went to the bathroom and fell in the toilet," he stands up.

I laugh, "Wow, you're so nice." I stand up, and we both walk downstairs. I look in the kitchen, and she's not there. "She's not in here," I say. Kevin comes over to me and follows me in. I open the fridge and find a [favorite soda]. I take it out. "Can I have this?"

"Sure," he shrugs. I move and open the can. He takes out a gallon of milk, and pours it into a cup. We both start to walk back upstairs, but we hear some muffled talking. I stop in my tracks and turn to Kevin. "Hear that?" He asks.

"Yeah," I nod, "I think it's coming from your basement."

"Hm." We both walk over to the basement door and open it.

"Cope?" I hear someone say. We both look at each other and then start walking down the stairs. Veronica and a shirtless Sheriff Keller are standing across from each other next to the basement fridge.

"Veronica?" Kevin asks and leans against the stair ramp. They both look at us, a little surprised. "What uh..what are you doing down here?"

"Yeah, Veronica, what are you doing down here?" I widen my eyes a little.

"Just, trying to find something to drink. And I ran into your dad." Veronica says.

"There's drinks upstairs."

"Well, then I'll go up then." She starts walking up the stairs and walks past the both of us. I follow while Kevin talks to his dad for a little bit. She goes into the kitchen, with me right behind her.

"Okay, what were you really doing?" I ask.

She opens the fridge, "Okay, Betty called me," she gets a drink, "and asked me to investigate. So I did. And I didn't find anything."

"Veronica, we can't be doing this no-" I pause, "wait...did you want to have this sleepover just so you could find out whether not he's having an affair or whatever." I slightly raise my voice in a whisper.

"I'm sorry!" She whisper-yells back, "But I had to! I was too curious." Her back straightens, as she looks behind me. I look back, too. Kevin's behind us.

"Ready to go back up?" He asks.

"Right behind you," I say. He nods and starts walking upstairs. I look back at Veronica, and give her, 'the look.' She shrugs, and I turn around and walk upstairs back to his room. We all sit back down on the floor.

"I still want the bed," Veronica says.

"Go ahead. I'll sleep anywhere." I say, and lay on the blankets on the floor.

"Yeah, I don't mind," Kevin says, laying down, too. It is pretty late, 12:49. And, I am quite tired. I stretch. "Goodnight y'all," Kevin says, turning off his lamp.

"Night."

"Night," Veronica says and turns away from us. I plug my phone into the wall and then set it down. I close my eyes and slowly fall asleep.
