~Jellybean's POV~
I was six years old when my mom dragged me away from my hometown Riverdale.She pretty much yanked me by the hair,kicking and screaming and locked me into the car.That was my last memory of Riverdale,being four hours away here in Toledo I'm not allowed visit.It's been eight whole years since I've seen my dad and brother.I barely even remember what they look like,I have a picture of me and Jughead which I keep with me at all times but that picture was taken when i was six and Jughead was eleven-shortly before we left.Jughead probably looks different now.Don't get me wrong,mom never treated me too badly,she adored me.I was her daughter after all.But ever since she met her new boyfriend Dave,almost two years ago now,she's sorta neglected me.Her and Dave are so in love it makes me sick.They got married last month,I got to be bridesmaid and wear a beautiful pastel blue dress with lace flowers.Dave was an ok step-dad,he didn't really interact with me at all to be honest,I was a weird kid in his
opinion.You see I'm not your normal,basic fourteen year old girl.I don't care for makeup or fashion or social media,I'm a loner who wears simple clothing and finds fun in reading or writing or better,photography.Neither Dave or my mom ever understood me.Mom laughs and tells me I'm just like Jughead.Dave's always had a dream of travelling the world,Mom sat at the end of my bed one night explaining why I couldn't come."Dave never planned on having kids you know,he made you an exception for me but I'm not sure it's a good idea for you to stick around Jellybean...."
I still remember moms exact words.She was basically going to abandon me to move around to random countries with her new husband,it was me or Dave and Dave was the winner,it's true what they say,the winner really does take it all.I cried myself to sleep that night-anxiety was something I seriously suffered from,what was going to happen to me? Mom wanted to send me back to Riverdale with dad and Jughead.I wasn't sure I wanted to go.Riverdale was my home for the first six years of my life,Toledo was my home for the past eight years.Neither were a real home to me though,I feel so misplaced and unloved.
