Chapter Thirteen: As You Wish
"I'll tell you the truth and it's up to you to live with it." -William Goldman

A knock on FP's trailer door stops the fight he and Jughead were having.
He opens the door to see Kevin Keller, of all people, at his front door.
"Mr. Jones, I don't mean to impose, but is Cheri here?" Kevin asks, looking panicked.
"No, sorry, she just left, actually." He shakes his head.
"That's what I was afraid of." He sighs and takes out his phone, pulling up the local news channel.
"There was a wreck, on the tracks between the Southside and Northside. It was a red Impala, but before I freaked out, I wanted to make sure she wasn't here." He says as he shows the breaking news to FP and Jughead.
"That's-that's Cheri's car. I know it is, her license plate is the same." FP lets out a shaky breath.
"You know her license plate number?" Jughead scoffs.
"In his defense, her plate just reads 'Diva' so it's not hard to remember." Kevin shrugs.
"Anyway! That's not what's important!" FP yells, causing both Kevin and Jughead to jump before nodding their heads.
FP runs out of his trailer, not even bothering with his motorcycle, just running to where the crash happened.
He sees the car, that Cheri tried so hard to keep in pristine condition, flipped and completely totaled on the side of the road.
They were dragging her out from under it when they got there.
FP ran up to her as Jughead called Maeve.
Cheri was unconscious as they loaded her onto a stretcher.
Her pale skin dotted with red blood spots where glass shards were stuck into her.
As they put her into the ambulance, FP gets pushed back by medics as they tell him he isn't family so he can't go with them.
He was about to yell at them when he heard Maeve.
"FP!" She calls out and he turns to see her walking up to the scene.
"Mae..." He sighs, almost in relief, as she runs up to him, hugging him close.
Even though he wanted to question why the two of them were so close, Jughead knew now wasn't the time to be worrying about that as he walked up to the two of them.
"How did this happen?" She asks, looking at FP and Jughead for an answer.
"I'll explain it to you at the hospital, lets go." Jughead sighs and takes her hand as she leads them over to her truck.
