Riley: A Riverdale FanFic

Chapter Five: Tension.

Riley's POV

Everything after the bathroom incident was kind of a blur. I sat at the bar, watched JugHead and His girlfriend fight, and then FP told me it was time to leave. I saw Sweet Pea outside making out with a blonde up against the side of the building. FP called at them to get a room but they didn't stop. I put my head down and followed him to the bike.

At the trailer we had to all sit down and FP explained my moving in to JugHead. He wasn't happy about his dad giving up his bed for me but he understood. I was excused so they could talk privately and I went to bed. Even after my nap earlier I could still fall straight asleep.

I woke up the next morning to things banging around in the kitchen. I had no idea what time it was but got up to go see anyways. I was in pyjama bottoms and a t-shirt but I still pulled on dads jacket just to feel safe and hide the big scar I have on my right arm.

I walked in the kitchen to see FP rushing around getting breakfast together. JugHead is sat at the table dressed and already eating.

"Hey kid. Grab something to eat." He seemed stressed and him and JugHead started fighting about someone named Penny. JugHead made the point of them being drug runners and they talked about a lot of things I didn't understand. There was a knock on the door and one of the serpents from the night before came in with a duffel bag.

"What's in the bag Tallboy?" JugHead asked while eating. And This set FP off.

"What did I just say? Mind your damn business and get to school." Angry JugHead grabbed his bag and left the trailer. FP turned around as if noticing just now that I was there. "Sorry you had to hear that. JugHead has school today but we are going down to the Wyrm to help out with the Christmas charity's." He smiled but I could see it wasn't genuine.

"Cool." Said leaning on the door frame and he let out and empty chuckle.

"Go get dressed, we'll leave in 10." He cleared the dishes from the table and I went back to my room to get dressed.

I pulled on one of the two pairs of pants I brought with me and one of my only shirts. On top of that I had my dads jacket of course. I'd have to find out a way to get more clothes soon.

I walked back out to the kitchen and saw FP pulling on his coat. "Ready?" And I nodded, Off we went to the Wyrm.

"Hey FP." Toni greeted when we walked in. "Hi Riley."

"How's the wrapping coming?" He walked over and patted the guy next to Toni on the back and he looked nervous.

"Well I'm wrapping and Fangs is taping his fingers together." Toni said sarcastically.

"Hey I'm trying." The guy I know now is Fangs defended.

"Alright well I brought you an extra set of hands. I have some work to take care of. I'll be in my office." FP nodded at them and headed upstairs leaving me there.

"Okay Riley here's what we're doing. We are in charge of wrapping the toys for tots. You just grab a toy and if you can wrap it wrap it. If it can't be wrapped grab a Gift bag." I nodded and started wrapping next to Toni. Her and Fangs made jokes and digs at each other and it was kind of fun until Sweet Pea came over.

"How's it going?" He asked leaning in next to me.

"It's going great. Fangs is trying." She laughed pointing at his bad wrapping job.

"How are you doing princess?" He looked down as I tried to wrap a puzzle. I didn't say anything but just nodded.

"How come you don't talk very much Riley?" Fangs asked. I looked up but didn't really know what to say. I opened my mouth and closed it and opened it again and closed it again.
