I'm skipping the flashback episode, it didn't interest me enough to put it in the book. This chapter takes place in episode 5.

It's been two weeks since I missed Archie's fight. Two weeks since Jughead spilled the beans on this suicide game every teenager in Riverdale was playing.

And of course, he had sucked Jordan into it too.

My mind raced as I sat on the worn out couch in my living room, trying again and again to think of a way to help Archie.

I needed to talk to Veronica.

The trailer door swings open, roughly hitting the wall as it does so.

Jordan saunters in, rubbing his eyes tiredly.

"Oh, so now you remember I exist?" I scoff, rolling my eyes and facing away from him.

"What's that supposed to mean?" He knits his eyebrows together in confusion. 

"You're usually only here to play that moronic game with Jughead. So tell me, Sweet Pea, when are you going to ascend" I say the word with disgust.

Ascending in G and G usually meant dying, in real life not even in the game.

"You don't understand, you're overreacting. As per" He shuts the door behind him, sighing softly.

I rise from my seat "Overreacting!? Sorry that I'm worried that my brother and my boyfriend are playing a suicide game. My God you're both ridiculous, how did you even get involved with that shit?"

"Archie-fucking-Andrews! Okay! You were spending all your time worrying about Archie, talking about Archie, visiting Archie. You were always too busy!" Jordan yells, slamming his fist onto the counter.

"You're jealous of Archie? Jordan, he's in prison." I breathe out in disbelief.

"And you had no problem in trying to get yourself locked up with him, ditching the Serpents to go to his dumb pep-rally, breaking in to a prison" 

I swallow thickly, it's true that is been neglecting Jordan for Archie, but I thought Jordan wouldn't mind all too much.

I guess I was wrong.

"You're right. I'm sorry. Come on, let's talk" I flop back down onto the couch, tucking my legs under me.

Jordan joins me on the couch, wrapping his arms around me "What do you want to talk about?"

I shrug "Tell me something, anything you'd like"

"My dad kicked me out"

Well then, that went from nought to one-fucking-billion fast.

"Why? Where are you staying? Are you two fighting again? Is it-"

"He's trying to protect me, and you believe it or not, there's a price on your head for as long as the Ghoulies are around. My dads friends are constantly at the house, not always saying the nicest things about your family. My dad thought it would be safer for me to move out, I'm staying with Fangs and his nana"
