The hidden truth

Chapter 60 - A Murder

It was one night to opening night and to be completely honest, I was nervous and that was an extreme understatement. Everyone wasn't doing so well and they were fighting then making up half way through the practice and I could feel Kevin's frustration, we opened tomorrow night and it was the first show and it needed to go right and I knew it would.

"Kevin, chill they've got this" I said to him with a smile, we had hit a few bumps like the re casting of Carrie since Cheryl was threatened and her mother got involved like the she devil she was, we all felt bad for re casting her but we had too for her safety above anything else.

Toni told me she was getting over it slowly which was great to hear and i told her to tell her that we were sorry Becuase we was and it wasn't even close to a joke her safety was more important to us. Seeetpea had stayed for this practice because he was my ride home since we agreed it was easier to come together and go home together than just go separately.

"Hey, you look nervous" he said to me and I smiled and shook it off, he was right I was nervous but not about just that, Chics court case was soon and on top of that, last week I was forced to go into a date with Reggie Mantel and I don't think I can hear anything else about a car or how hard it is to do football or I'll throw something, we agreed to hang out sometime and that was my hanging out sometime and it was never happening again.

"Just about the show, everyone kind of lost their minds in there today and we open up tomorrow it has to go good" I said as I climbed onto the back of his bike behind him and wrapped my arms around his torso, I loved this also since it was our time to be alone and we weren't dating but I knew I wanted too when all of this had blown over and everything wasn't so crazy.

"Well I still need someone to go with so how about I take the co director so she doesn't kill someone?" He said with a half chuckle and half being serious, we had gotten into a conversation about our past fights and I told him about my weird way of stabbing people through the hand all the time and now he's scared for everyone's safety apparently.

"Sounds good" I said with a smile as he started the bike up and we went towards Sunnyside trailer park, my nightmares weren't as bad anymore they still happened but I could sleep through the night now and not feel completely unsafe, dad comes by every so often and tells me about how the case is going and how Alice is trying her hardest to find a good Lawyer but none of them are helping against all the evidence we have against him, he obviously talks to me about school and stuff too but he was more worried about that than anything else right now, saying he wants his baby to be safe in the world before anything happens.

He often brings up me joining the serpents but not wanting me to do the dance and everything and trying to get it past the members since they know about my experiences and what was happening with Chic, I wasn't really bothered about doing the serpent dance. I really wasn't but he was so I respected that more than anything.

Jughead has been put on making a behind the scenes video of the show which he was taking pretty seriously but it was nice to see some involvement in this like everyone else.

Opening night!:

I looked towards Sweetpea as we walked into the auditorium, he seemed awfully happy to be here with me which made me happy and think that we had a shot when everything wasn't so messy to be together which made me very happy.

We sat down in our seats and decided to talk until the show started, I obviously knew when we would start and everything that was going to happen so we wouldn't miss anything.

"Think everything will be okay doll?" He said to me with a smile that made me stomach erupt into butterflies and a smile appear on my face that I couldn't hide if I wanted too. He was simply perfect in my mind.

"I hope so" I said with my fingers crossed which caused him to laugh at my childish antics and myself too, I was hoping this was would according to plan and everything would be perfect, i saw Jughead come sit down and I smiled to him and he nodded back to me.

Kevin came into stage and said a few words before the show started, he went on and on about how everyone had worked so hard and the usual things you hear people say. When he went and the curtain raised and Alice was singing and starting the opening scene, she carried on and the wall went up and there was

Midge nailed to the set wall with blood writing around her and Alice's screaming filled the room with Cheryl's cry for someone to help her, I stood up and ran towards the front of the room and looked towards Kevin. We shared the same look of oh my god.

I looked back to see Fangs with Sweetpea, I had to get him out of here before anyone found out about what they were doing, I ran back towards the back of the room and grabbed Fangs before pulling him out of the room, Sweetpea followed us but he seemed more confused than anything.

"Go home Fangs" I said to him as he got on his bike and went off in the direction of Sunnyside.

"What was that about?" Sweetpea asked and for the sake of his best friend knew I had to tell him.

"Midge and Fangs, were sleeping together. If anyone finds out they'll blame him for her death" I said to him quietly and he nodded and we waited for everyone to come out when I threw myself into Sweetpeas arms to make it look like I was in shock and crying, the shock part wasn't so hard to fake due to my real feeling of shock.

Be safe Fangs.
