Chapter 17

Ezra Jones

The day of Midges funeral had unfortunately arrived. Cheryl had handed out all black Vixen uniforms for us to wear. I left Sweet Pea at home,Fangs needed him more than I did right now.

The Vixens and I were all stood behind Cheryl who was singing. When finished,she raised her arms,we did the same raising our black pom-poms. "I also feel it is my duty to say that,like the furies of Ancient Greece ,who ceaselessly pursue blood atonement when a crimes committed,the Vixens and I vow that we will not rest until those responsible for the murder of our sister is rightly punished" Cheryl announces,her voice shaking as she began to cry.

The crowd of people disperse. The core four,also known as Betty,Veronica,Archie and Jughead,began walking immersed in their conversation. I decide to hang back,avoiding Archie and Veronica.

My dad stands beside me and sighs "Were you two friends? You and Midge" I shake my head quietly. I wasn't her friend but it was still upsetting that she died.

I watch as Cheryl,with her arm around Mrs.Klumps shoulder, is approached by Sheriff Keller. They exchange words before Midges mom slaps Sheriff Keller. She storms off crying as Cheryl says something,probably threatening,to him.

Jughead comes up to us shaking his head. "What a shitshow huh? We're going to Pops,you coming?"

My dad pinches the bridge of his nose "How many times do I have to tell you damned kids about your language. Ezra you should go,relax for once" he chuckles.

I roll my eyes "know what dad,you should give your title to Jug and become a comedian,you'd be ace!" I shove him lightly and he punches my arm in return "Sure,I'll tag along until Sweets is bored of his boyfriend Fangs"

Once the five of us are crammed into a booth,Jughead starts the conversation "I've a theory,it's a copycat killer. And who coincidentally showed up in Riverdale after mr.svenson was killed? And has been giving us creepy vibes ever since? Chic,he has a temper too" he begins eating as Betty widens her eyes.

"Would explain why he was at Carrie,remind me to never leave Chic near my art stuff. I might end up with a scissors in my chest too" I shrug leaning back,Betty kicks me from under the table making me yell in pain.

Chic is here because I went to the hostel to get him. And yes,he's weird but he didn't know Midge so moving on" Betty sighs looking down. She didn't want to believe her brother,kinda my brother too,was dangerous. But it's true.

"It's not like he hasn't ki-" I'm cut off by my phone ringing. I excuse myself and climb over Jughead to leave the booth.

Baby ❤️

"Hey darlin'. How'd it go?"

"It was fine,well as fine as funerals go I guess"

"Want me to come over? Fangs and Toni are here too"

"Yeah sure,pick me up?"

Once home,Toni and Fangs are already there. Not even five minutes after I'd gotten home there was a knock on my door.

"Fuck,it's Keller. You three hide" I mumble,peeking through the window. Toni and Fangs listen running into my room.

Sweet Pea shakes his head "not leaving"

Before I can answer,Keller has already opened my door. "Ezra,I thought we talked about answering the door" he shakes his head.

"Yeah the reason I keep it unlocked is so you can't kick it in again and arrest me" I spit rolling my eyes.
