Is it love?

Chapter 33

I woke up because I heard a loud noise coming from downstairs . I got my phone and it was 2 am . I got up and went downstairs . I saw Mark laying on the floor , without consciousness. I walked toward him and then I saw Mary .. being pinned against the wall by...my dad . I got up and he turned around . "Well well well well..did you really think I would let you have a good and happy life? " he said walking toward me . I didn't say anything and he just looked at me . I then saw that he had a gun in his hand . I looked at it and closed my eyes . He then turned around and shot Mary right in the head . "No!!!" I screamed and he pushed me against the wall . I cried and he pointed the gun  at me . I pulled it away and it fell on the floor . He gave me an angry look . He pushed me on the floor and kicked me all over my body . I screamed . He eventually got on top of me and started to punch me . He then grabbed my arm and I started to breath heavily . He pressed on it hard and then...he broke it . I screamed and he smirked . He then stoped and looked at the gun . I wasn't seeing straight but I knew that he grabbed it . "Please..." i said and then..pow .

I was all sweaty . I screamed and lifted myself up on my bed . I was breathing heavily . The door opened roughly and Mary and mark ran to me "is everything okay Jughead?!" Mark said and I looked around . I then saw Mary without a bullet on her head . I started to cry and hugged her . Veronica got up . I then pulled away and touched my body that was still intact . Veronica sighed sadly and hugged me  , she got what happened . I started to breath heavily and she pulled away "hey..breath Juggie..take deep breaths.." she said and I did as I was told . Mark looked at me with a sad look . They eventually leaved and Ronnie looked at me and sighed "what was it Juggie? " she asked and looked at her and then down . She grabbed my hands and gave me a reassuring smile. "I heard a loud noise coming from downstairs , I went downstairs and I saw mark laying on the ground, he had lost consciousness. I then saw...I then saw dad pinning Mary against the wall . He turned around and looked at me , he said that he would never let me live an happy life...he then walked toward me and I realized that he had a gun . He....he shot Mary right in the head . I screamed and he slammed me against the wall . He pointed the gun at me but I threw it on the floor . He then pushed me down and started to kick my body . I screamed and cried but he didn't care . He then got on top of me and started to punch my face , harder than he ever did . He then stoped and grabbed my arm . He squeezed it so hard and eventually...broke it . I screamed . He pushed me again and then he saw the gun . I wasn't seeing straight, but I knew that he took the gun . I pleased him to stop and then..pow..." I said crying . She started to cry too and hugged me "Juggie that's never gonna happen okay?! Dad is in jail and will never get out.." Veronica said and I sighed . We talked for a while and then went back to sleep , but I couldn't sleep . I stayed up all night , crying while thinking of what happened . I then saw that it was 7 am and Veronica was waking up . I looked at her and then away . She got up and saw me . I wiped away my tears "Juggie..did you even slept?" She asked and I didn't say anything . She sighed and sat down next to me . "So you want to stay home today..because I can stay with you.." she said and I smiled "that would be nice.." I said and she smiled . "I'll go warn them " she said and she then leaved . She eventually came back "they are okay with it.." she said and I smiled . I let ronnie some space in my bed and she laid down next to me . I sighed and she looked at me . She gave me a sad smile and kissed my cheek . "It's gonna be okay..." she said and I sighed "yeah I guess so.." I said and then the door opened . It was Mary and mark . They walked toward us and Mary sat on the edge of the bed . "Guys were gonna head to work okay? We'll be home be 3pm and then is you're lunch on the fridge if you want , you just have to cook it! " Mary said "are you sure you're going to be okay?" She asked and I nodded my head . She smiled and got up "Karen is gonna come by during the day..!" She said leaving . They eventually leaved the house and I laid down on my bed and looked at the ceiling while Veronica was getting dressed . She put her skirt on and was still in her bra . She looked at me and sighed "Juggie it was just a dream..." she said and I started to tear up . "What if this doesn't work?" I asked looking at her . "What do you mean?" She asked "what if dad escape..or he-" I started "hey Juggie...that's not going to happen okay? I swear..." she said grabbing my hands . I looked down and then back up at her . She finished getting dress and I eventually let her lay beside me . She was telling me stories about her and Reggie and I eventually fell asleep .

I woke up and it was 2pm. I got up and went downstairs . I saw Mark and Mary . I went next to Veronica in the couch . She gave me a soft smile . She kissed my cheek and I smiled . They walked toward us . "Veronica...sweetie would you mind us having a word in private with you're brother?" They asked Veronica . She nodded and leaved . Mark sat in front of me me Mary next to me , like Veronica earlier . Mary sighed and grabbed my hand . "Jughead...Can we talk about what happen?" She asked carefully and I closed my eyes "Can you...can you told us about you're dreams...that's might help you?" Mark said and I opened my eyes . I looked at them . "And...how could I trust you...no one has ever been this nice to me before..." I said . "You can trust us kid...we really understan-" Mark started "no...you don't understand...you have no idea what I've been through . I know Karen told you all she knew...but hell I didn't told her anything...I didn't told her the worst my father has ever done to me..." I said tearing up . "Maybe it would help to talk to us about it...we want to help you...truly" Mary said and I sighed . "Can...Can you tell us about that time.." Mark said and I looked at him and scoffed "oh...trust me you don't want to know.." I said "we do..." Mary said and I looked at them and closed my eyes "I was 16..." I said opening my eyes

⚠️TRIGGER WARNING⚠️

"I got home...I was happy . My dad was in the kitchen with my mom . I walked toward them . I sat down and went in my phone . I stared to text my girlfriend and then my mom took my phone . " I started "I lied at my mom funeral..when I said that she was always there for me...hell she wasn't. But I loved her so damn much..." I said and I started to cry . "She looked at me and asked how was my day...but she didn't cared , she just knew that Veronica was hearing us . I said that I became the captain of the football team! They gave me a angry look and my dad trough his glass on the floor . He grabbed me by the collar and...and he dragged me to the bathroom . I started to scream . He kicked my stomach and locked the bathroom door . He started the bath and I tried to escape but he turned me around and slammed me against the door . He started to punch my face . "You don't deserve happiness!" He yelled at me and I cried . He eventually pulled away and I fell on the floor . He stoped the bath and grabbed me by the collar, bringing me above the bath. I wasn't seeing straight and I was...confused . He then put my head in the water and...and he started to drown me . I pulled away and breath heavily . He punched me and pushed me back in the water . I kicked him in the stomach and he let go off me . I laid down on the floor , looking for air . He got up and kicked my sides . I didn't made a sound , I looked at the floor . "It didn't worked...but it will on day..." he said getting out and closing the door..." I said crying . They looked at me in shock . Mary hugged me and I cried even more . She then pulled away and Mark grabbed my arm . But he didn't break it like my dad , he took care of it. He then wiped my tears away and I looked at him . I pulled away quickly . I then realized that it wasn't my dad , it was mark . This is making me feel better...I'm happy that I have Mary and Mark now too in my...messy....and shitty life...
