The Serpent Princess

The next morning

As the sun came through the windows Jughead woke up he tried to stretch but realized Jess was laying on top of him tuckered out. He kissed her head as she mumbled.

"My phone is going off."

Jug went through her phone and her childhood bestie has texted Jessica.

Guess who's moving to RIVERDALE?

Sending her a photo of her new house. It turned out Marie had heard about the incident with Josh and decided to be at her side. Jughead decided to get her number to plan a surprise for Jessica so they have a reunion.  As he texted her with plans, he noticed Jessica sleepily stood up to close the blind and cover the window with his curtain feeling proud for a moment as she is just standing but then suddenly as sleep took over her head drops, she was about to lose her balance thankfully he rushed to her side then remembered the technique Chrissy showed him once when she fell asleep standing after doing PT.

Thankfully Toni was there to help in case Jug need it.

"Toni I need you!"

She came in and Jughead whispered as he held her.

"I need you to record for Chrissy her PT so she can see I did the technique that she showed."

Toni nodded pressed record.

"Left foot back, Baby." He whispered.

She mumbled as she try to stay awake lifted her foot and place it back.

"Right foot back."

She sleepily did the same thing as she struggled to keep herself up and be alert.

"Again Babe."

She did it again but losing the fight to help Jughead.

"Almost there."

He said as he felt her muscles relaxing literally turn into jello as she drifting off. Deep down he was aware she did get up frustrated by her nightmare 3 times after the initial moment when she first fell asleep by the 3rd time he decided to call Toni in case Jughead does need a break. He could barely hold her up at this point.

"Toni!"

as whispered and they guided her to the bed and they laid her back down as Jess rest her head against his chest. This nightmare truly tuckered her out cold. He finished the message to Marie.

I can't wait to see the look on her face once she sees you.

He pressed send and cuddle with her.

Once she woke up she sees Jughead worried.

"What happen?"

Jessica sighed and rubbed her face.

"I had a nightmare and Josh killed you. I mean you saw how shaken I was."

It did made sense: she didn't get enough sleep because of the intensity with the nightmare.

Jughead consoled her he cried wishing he could take it all away for her to have some peaceful sleep since school has stressed her out with hw she gets no rest and said.

"If he does come back, Baby I swear for you to get peaceful sleep: I would give him hell with our Serpents and I will let you take the rein my Princess."
