I woke up on FP's couch. I stretched and yawned, not knowing how I got here. Jughead stood in the door way of the kitchen, "Good morning sleeping beauty."

I quickly realized I had an headache. I flipped him off before pulling myself from the couch. My phone read 8:30am.

I had enough time to shower and change. Events from last night coming to greet me. "Can I use your shower?"

"Please do, you smell horrid." Once again, I flipped him off and walked to my truck. It was parked in the driveway like it was never moved. I searched my pockets for my keys, finally finding them.

I rumaged through the bed of the truck looking for different clothes to wear. I settle on a black hoodie with black creepers. I grabbed my shower essentials and rushed back inside.

I showered and changed, grabbing my things to put back in the bed of the truck, strapping the tie downs. I looked over at Sweets lot. A black Mercedes sat in the gravel next to his bike.

I shrugged it off, thinking it was a friend or such. I got in the truck and started it up. My bag sat on the bench, where it was left last night. I pulled from the spot and proceeded to drive through the lot.

I unrolled my windows, this morning being much more warm than yesterday. I drove out of the lot and headed to the diner.

I really didn't know how this breakfast was going to go. I was nervous. I drove in pure silence as my thoughts consumed me.

I finally got tired of the silence so I put on an audio book. The book played in the background, but none of that mattered, for the rest of the drive I tuned everything out.

I pulled into a spot next to an equally as old truck. I shoved my bag under the seat before I got out. I locked the door and began to walk inside.

The bell rang as I scanned the booths, looking for Fred Andrews.

"Good morning, Mina."
"Good morning, Pops."

I walked towards the booth that Fred sat at.

"Good morning, Mina"
"Good morning,-"

I didn't know what to call him, Fred? Mr.Andrews? Dad? I was confused.

"You can call me Fred."

I nodded my head and sat down. Pop's came by with two plates of eggs and bacon.

"I ordered for you, I hope you don't mind." I shook my head.
"Thank You." I said with a smile.

"If I knew you were my daughter, I would've been there for you."
"It's fine, no one really knew."

I sipped some water before looking up at him. We ate in silence, it probably looked weird to others in the diner.

I watched from the window as Jughead and Betty pulled into the parking lot of the diner.

"Where was that boy that was with you last night?"
"Sweet Pea? He had company last night, I didn't want to disturb him."

The bell rang above the door, Betty and Jughead walked past the table.

I watched as they sat down, something was off with that girl.

I finished my plate and sipped some more water, today looked like it was going to be more warm than it was yesterday.

Fred finished and got up to pay, I followed him, wanting to pay for my own.

"Its on the house, Mina got her article in newspaper." I stared at Pop's confused.

He slid the newspaper towards us. I looked at the opened page. Fred patted me on the back.

"Congrats Kiddo, I have to go to work, we'll talk later." I waved as we walked towards the door.
