"Hello, doll."

Ezras face broke out into a smile when her fathers voice rang through the phone, according to Sheriff Keller it shouldn't be too long before her father was back home with them thanks to Cheryl Blossoms testimony.

"I don't hear your brothers nonsense in the background, are you home all alone?"

For the past couple of nights Jughead had been battling through his Serpent initiation, Ezra would've been in attendance only for the fact she wanted to be home in case FP called.

Which, obviously, he had.

"Yeah, Jughead is..." She trailed off, wondering whether or not she should tell their father what he was doing "out with Betty and Archie and all them."

"I see." FP hummed in response, she didn't know if he believed her or not "How come you're not out with your friends? You better not be staying home 'cause of me."

"I've got homework."

"Ah, okay. What did you have for dinner?"

Ezra froze, picking the skin of her lip as her stomach turned "Uh, Pops, went with Frankie after school. Quit making things awkward."

She wanted to change the subject, it was very obvious, not that FP would've caught on though. As much as he loved his kids, he barely knew them in their teenage-hood, which, as much as Ezra would try to defend him, was his own fault.

To FP Ezra and Jughead were still little kids who only had little kid problems, never would he imagine them having problems like brewing gang wars and eating disorders. It was either because he didn't want to believe they had grown up more or less without him, or because he was too drunk to remember most of their birthdays. Ezra wasn't sure which.

They spoke until FPs call time ran out, they never said goodbye as some weird tradition, even before FP was calling her through a prison phone.

It wasn't long after their conversation ended that Jughead arrived home, Toni, Fangs and Sweet Pea tagging along behind him.

"How'd it go?" Ezra asked, feet kicked up on the coffee table in front of the couch she sat on.

"Look at this, E!" Jughead exclaimed, shoving his bandaged hand into her face "A snake! A snake bit me!"

"He did good." Toni nodded, ignoring Jugheads dramatics and sitting in the armchair.

Swatting her brothers hand out of her face, she moved over to allow the others to sit down "Remember all the laws?"

"Like it's hard?"

"Now I understand why the snake bit you."

The group sit around the living room and talk, mainly about Jugheads initiation, sometimes poking fun at his friends to see his reaction. Sweet Pea and Fangs had taken a seat on the couch, one on either side of Ezra with Jughead sat on the arm.

Sweet Peas arm was draped over the back of the couch, Ezra tucked into his side as they laughed at a story Toni was telling them.
