Young, Dumb And Broke

2.

Emilee has been spending a lot of time with Malachi, finding it so easy to talk to him. Emilee still has no idea, about who Malachi really is and what he actually wants with her. If she knew, it would only break her heart into pieces. This all bothers Jughead, more than The Black Hood.

"Whats on you mind, boy?" FP asks sitting beside his only son.

Jughead takes a drink, then he grabs his phone showing his dad a photo of of Emilee with Malachi. FP stares at the photo a few moments longer before handing the phone back to his son.

"How long?" FP asks softly afraid that if he speaks any louder his voice would break.

"They have been seeing each other for about three weeks now..." He says and FP slams his fist onto the counter.

"Does she know? Does she know what that thug does?" Jughead shakes his head in response.

The two Jones boys sit at the bar drinking and trying to come up with a plan, on how to save Emilee before things get in too deep.

Emilee never thought that she was going to be happy again. She never thought that she would start to fall in love with someone like Malachi either. What bothers her the most, is that he never wants to meet anyone in her family, and The Serpents, well they are her family. They took her in, and that is something they didn't have to do. She's an outsider looking in.

"Babe, I really want you to meet my family, lets go to my place." She touches Malachi's face and looks into his brown eyes, something seems off today.

"Emilee, I don't want to meet them." He says. Emilee moves out of her spot on the couch and she stands up.

"You know what, fine I am done trying. I am just going to leave." Malachi looks up at her.

"Not sure where you think you're going, but you need to sit your ass the fuck down." He growls at her, and this scares her, never expecting it.

Emilee pulls out her phone and sends a text with Jughead. 'Help me juggie. 101 market st South Riverdale.'

She puts her phone away and takes a seat next to Malachi and without warning he punches her in the face. She lets out a scream and her hands fly to her face, tears streaming down her face.

Jughead receives his cousins text and he instantly worries that he's going to be too late. He texts Sweet Pea and Fangs with the address.

The three boys parked beside each other, they quickly exchange glances, and when they hear Emilee scream they run to the front door. It's locked and that makes it impossible to get him. Sweet Pea and Jug exchange glances and when Emilee screams again they both waste no time kicking the door down.

Inside they find Malachi standing over top of Emilee while she is topless on the ground a black eye and blood running down her face from what they can only think is cuts given to her by Malachi.

"Stop! Do not touch her!" Jug yells.

Malachi turns around and smiles wickedly at Jug and Sweet Pea. He kicks Emilee in the side and Sweet Pea goes to lunge after him but Fangs holds him back. They can't be stupid about this or Emilee will get hurt worse.

"Well, Well if the Crown prince and his slithering snakes didn't come to save the day."

"Em, come here now." Jug says ignoring Malachi and just wanting to get his cousin out of here safely. She sits up and grabs her shirt and quickly makes her way over to Sweet Pea and fangs. Sweet Pea carefully pushes her behind him to make sure she is safe and out of sight.
