I wake up at Jughead's trailer, after the storm last night, it was raining too hard to travel so I stayed at Jug's. He's still asleep, so I get up and root through the fridge, I find bacon, eggs, bread, potatoes, sausages and oil. Perfect for a fry up. And us British know how to cook the perfect fry up.

I heat the oil and start cooking, casually singing Olivia Newton-John under my breath. The final sizzle ends and I pile the plates with food. I pour two glasses of coffee and orange juice and walk into his bedroom, he's finally awake.

"Hello Sleepy Head!" I say placing the tray down and resting on the bed.

"Woah, baby did you make all this?" he says, kissing me on the cheek. I nod.

"You made my favourite! Fried potatoes!" he squeals like a kid in a sweet shop. 

*Time skip*

I'm standing outside of Southside High and a sickly sweet smell wafts through the air. Jingle-jangle.

The smell is so overpowering, I crouch, gasping for normal air that isn't ridden with this... demon.

Where is it coming from? I turn the corner and gasp as a cold hand grabs my shoulder. I turn. It's FP, Jug's dad.

"Don't follow the smell Dylan. Two Ghoulies back there. Jug has told me a lot about you, how you helped him, when I was in jail, thank you. "

"It's nothing really." I say, still gasping.

"You're addicted aren't you? To J-J? "

"Is it that obvious? " I say suddenly self-conscious.

"Yeah. The way you gasp, the burning desire to follow the smell. How many times have you been to Rehab?"

"Only once, but I'm never going back there. "

He nods. "Well good night Dylan, oh take this, it helps with the craving," he places a packet of tablets in my hand and winks.

"You and I aren't really that different Hart. Tell your mom I said hi." And with that, he walked away.

I nod and walk back home. I need a LONG night's sleep after that crap.
