-When I Picked Up The Phone-Riverdale Fanfiction

Jelly beans POV

I came home from school to hear the phone ringing.

"Mom the phones ringing ,Mom!"

When my mom didn't answer i decided to pick up the phone.

"Hello"

" Hey mom i bought bus tickets to Toledo and i was hoping i could see both of you, and stay for a while maybe. "

I stood in shock as who i assume to be none other than my brother jughead on the phone.

" Whos that jellybean"

I dont reply back to my mom, but stood in awe. And instantly she walks over and takes the phone.

"Hello whos this?"

I couldn't hear what jughead was saying on the other end of  the phone but i can hear my mother say.

"Im sorry jughead i dont think we have enough room here maybe another time."

My stomach drops and my heart is in my throat. My mother just told my brother who i havnt seen in forever that he cant stay because we dont have ROOM. We have enough room to house a farm of animals.

" No, Mom what? We do.. "

I shut up as she gives me a stern look telling me to shut up.

I feel like im going to cry. That might have been the last time im gonna hear from jughead in a long time, and i didnt even say a word. He didnt even know it was me on the phone.

I sit on the sofa with a sigh,then turn on the tv as i realise i dont really have a say in the matter.

Well, at least i got to hear his voice. It sounds different then the last time i spoke to him.

As i sit and watch tv i think what if he did come and different things we could do get ice cream, movie marathons, even just have dinner together.
