Dakota Jones (ʀɪᴠᴇʀᴅᴀʟᴇ)

Chapter 14: Nobody can save me

Dakota listened to the song Josie and the pussycats sing over the speakers. Not really caring about them. She just wanted to get out of school. She hated it. The place where her and her brother are outcast. And the place where she will have to see the people she hates even after what happened just a few nights ago.

Dakota walked with by Jughead him holding her hot chocolate and her pops sandwich. Dakota walked up the stairs of her fathers trailer. When she walked in it was cleaned then it was the morning she left.
"Dad, have you been body-snatched?"

"Oh, I feel good, Jug, Kota. Wanna look good, too. Shave. Clean the place up a bit. A little paint."

Dakota knew she would never get use to seeing him clean.
"You look...ok I can't. I'm so used to seeing you with the serpent jacket and you know hair basically everywhere in your face. It's like taking Jughead's hat-"

"But you do that all the time"

"That's beside the point. Now give him his damn coffee so I can at least try and leave with the last word."

"Yeah, I got us some coffee and donuts. Well Dakota got hot chocolate"

FP took the tray from his son
"And I read your, Uh....your essay? Manuscript?"

Dakota laughed at him

FP set the try on the table
"You did?"
"Yeah."
"Really?"

Jughead walked behind Dakota
"I asked you for it, didn't I?"

Jughead walked beside FP
"Yeah, but I don't know. I figured you were just pretending to be interested"

FP put this hand on the paper
"This is excellent"

Dakota grabbed one of the cheeseburgers, taking a big bit before nodding her head
"It's better then excellent"

Well at least she tried to say but why it came out as was;
"It butter tha excel"

Both Jones men looked at her. Jughead fighting the urge to laugh. While FP smiled. Dakota looked at them both before swallowing her food then smiling at them.

FP continued
"I can hardly string two sentences together."

Dakota pointed at him
"That's probably something you shouldn't say Dayily."

"You got a gift jug."

Dakota agreed
"Yes. Writing is your power."

Dakota shook her hot chocolate like it was a wand when she said power.
"And with great power, comes great responsibilities"

Jughead face palmed
"I can't believe you just said that"

Dakota answered as she took another bite
"What do you can-"

Jughead stopped her
"Okay, I can't believe I'm going to say this but don't talk with your mouth full."

Dakota stopping eating her food
"Says you"

"But at least some people understand what I say but no one can understand what you say"

FP smiled at his children. Pointing to the seat in front of him
"Mind if I ask you a couple questions?"
