Riley: A Riverdale FanFic

Chapter Twenty Five: Nerves.

Riley's POV

I woke up and it was dark out. I must've slept through the whole day. The first thing I felt was the metal of his gun I had stashed in my waistband. I had to hide this before they knew I had it. I got up off the couch and grabbed my dirty clothes from yesterday, I wrapped them around the gun and put it in a plastic bag to take home. I went down the hall to Fangs room to see him and Sweet Pea staring at the ceiling. Poor things probably never slept.

"Hey." I Said learning against the door frame. They both sat up to look at me. They looked tired and had dark circles.

"What time is it?" Fangs asked rubbing a hand over his face. I glanced at the clock and saw it was 7:30. Not even that late but we had school tomorrow.

"7:30, you guys sleep any?" I asked both of them in a soft voice, knowing they probably had major head aches.

"Not at all." Sweet Pea Said with a raspy dry voice. Fangs shook his head two. Poor guys were suffering.

"You hungry? I can go get us Pops?" I offered. Fangs laughed and I gave him a cocked eyebrow.

"Yeah because going out with blood on your clothes and face while smelling like death total screams I didn't commit murder this morning." I looked down and noticed he was right, there was blood on my well his clothes, my hands my face. I needed a shower.

"Alright I'll shower then we will get food, okay? Get dressed." They nodded as I left the room to go shower.

We pulled up in Fangs truck which I had to drive even though I'm under age. I didn't trust either one of them driving right now. We walked in to see a smiling Pop Tate behind the counter.

"Hello there, you kids look rough." He stated sadly.

"Thanks Pops, can I get three coffees?" I asked as I walked to a both. He nodded and disappeared into the kitchen.

We sat at a both and just as I sat down I heard someone yell my name, not just anyone, it was FP.

"Riley, where the hell have you been I've been texting and calling like crazy! You didn't come home last night!" He stormed over to our table still in his Pops uniform. I looked over to see his was previously sitting with an alarmed looking Betty, Alice and JugHead. I also realized my phone was at Fangs trailer and completely dead. Fangs and Sweet Pea managed to look alarmed at his yelling and so did the whole diner.

"I left Nicks party and went to Fangs trailer. We had a late late movie night and slept all day, I'm sorry." I Said with the saddest eyes I could. I could see his angry be replaced with gratitude that I was safe. He pulled me into a hug.

"Ever pull that again and I'll kill you."he laughed into my hair. I smiled and gave a fake laugh and the boys tensed up. "You guys don't look like you got much sleep." He let me go and ruffled Sweet Peas hair. He gave him a sad smile.

"Not with this one." He joked. FP laughed then returned to his table. Pop came with the coffees.

"Here you go kids." He smiled.

"Thanks pop, can I get three burgers as well?" I asked sweetly.

"Coming right up." And he disappeared back into the kitchen.

"You guys okay?" I asked them as they stared at their coffees.

"Yep I'm fine." Fangs lifted the cup and took a sip.

"What about you Pea?" I asked. Just as he was about to answer we heard sirens. I was still relaxed but fangs and Sweet Pea froze and their faces grew pale. I looked around and Betty, JugHead and Alice also tensed up.
