Chapter 9

RING RING RING!

Braveheart's eyes fluttered open as she looked around the room. She sighed and sat up rubbing her eyes. She grabbed her phone and saw Jughead was calling. She had been at home all day since she hadn't felt great. She answered the phone and put it to her ear.

"Jug?" She questioned with a raspy voice. You could hear Betty on the other end urging Jughead to hurry up.

"Brave, you need to get up and changed. Me and Betty are coming to pick you up." He said then hung up. Braveheart was slightly taken back by his comment. She sighed and put her phone down. She quickly changed into a black shirt, black jeans and combat boots. She grabbed a jacket and her beanie and headed towards the door. Soon enough, a frantic knocking came to her door. She quickly opened the door and Jughead was there.

"Come on, Brave. We gotta go." He grabbed her arm and yanked her out the door.

"Jug? Where are we going?" She asked with panic in her tone. She didn't understand what was so important.

"It doesn't matter. I'll explain in the car." Jughead rushed put. Braveheart sighed and went with him to the car.

Braveheart got out of the car, trying to process the new information she had been told. She sighed and followed Betty and Jughead hurriedly. Betty had got in touch with her sister and found out what car they were going to escape in. Braveheart kind of lost it from there. She didn't understand why she was there. She didn't know the purpose of her being there but she was. The rain was pouring down and soaking Braveheart. She didn't really mind though. She was used to it. Jughead rushed to an object, that looked like a car, covered by a tarpaulin sheet. He lifted up and saw the headlights of the car. The two slowly began to uncover it and Jughead made his way around to the boot. Braveheart stood behind him, shining her torch into the boot. There were lots of different things. There were bags and one thing stood out to Braveheart, Jason's varsity jacket. She sighed and grabbed it quickly. She zoned out of the conversation the other two were having while she searched through the pockets of the jacket. She found a hole in the jacket pocket. She stuck her hand and found a USB stick. She took the USB stick and hid it in her pocket.

"Brave?" Jug and Betty said as they turned to her. She raised an eyebrow confusion filling her face.

"What?" She questioned. The two gestured towards the car. Braveheart just saw drugs. "Are those what I think they are?" She asked looking between the two. Betty nodded.

"Omg! Brave! Put the jacket back. It's evidence. This is all evidence! We need to tell the police!" Betty said out of the blue. She quickly stuffed something she grabbed back in. She grabbed Jason's jacket from Braveheart and stuffed it back.

"Oh... crap... This car is a whole crime scene..." Jughead said slowly stepping backwards slightly.

"Yeah we need to tell Sheriff Keller and then we need to tell Polly." Betty said continuing to shine her torch around the car. Braveheart looked around. This place gave her an eerie feeling. She felt unease. She didn't know who was here. They were in the middle of nowhere basically.

"What we need to do is get out of here... now..." Braveheart said quickly looking around running her hands through her hair. She began to walk away from the two and back the way they came. She was holding the torch in her hand, prepared to attack anyone who came by. Soon after, Jughead and Betty followed. They seemed more panicked than earlier. They might have talked as Braveheart had walked away but they panicked.

Braveheart had asked Jughead to drop her off at the Whyte Wyrm. She wanted to talk to her dad. That may be a mistake but she wanted to talk to him. She pushed the bar door open and the sounds quickly filled her ears. A small smile grew on her face as she glanced around. Her dad wasn't in sight but a lot of people she knew where. She saw Toni, a girl with pink hair, sitting at the bar. She strolled over and sat next to her.

"Toniiiiiiii! Long time." Braveheart smiled looking at the girl. Toni smiled at the sound of Braveheart's melodic voice.

"Omg! Brave! Long time!" Toni smiled giving Braveheart an awkward hug. Braveheart laughed.

"How have you been?" Braveheart asked. Toni shrugged and looked down at her drink.

"Normal. Boring. Same old Southside High." Toni shrugged. Braveheart nudged her old friend.

"Don't be so down, Toni." Braveheart smiled leaning on the bar. "Any hot guys.... or girls." Braveheart questioned quickly remembering Toni preferred girls. Toni shrugged and looked back at Braveheart.

"I mean, there's always been this one girl but she's into guys." Toni shrugged. Braveheart smiled.

"Then, she's just not the one. You'll be fine. Anywayyyyyy, you seen my dad?" Braveheart questioned looking around the bar again. She got off the stool ready to walk away when Toni replied.

"Last I heard, he was in his trailer." Toni shrugged. Braveheart sighed but nodded. She began to walk out of the Whyte Wyrm heading towards his trailer, by foot.

Braveheart opened the trailer door and walked in. She never bothered knocking. She didn't see much point. It was technically the 'Jones' trailer and she's a Jones. "Dad," She called looking around. She saw beers cans on the side and sighed. "Dad! You here?" She questioned walking into the living room trying to ignore the rubbish. FP appeared in the kitchen, not noticing his daughter's presence.

"Brave? What the hell are you doing here?" He questioned annoyance evident in his tone. Braveheart frowned slightly and looked at him.

"I thought you'd be happy to see me... dad..."

"No. Get out. You are not welcome in this trailer!" He said almost instantly. His face was full of rage. Braveheart eyes filled with tears. Her dad had never just kicked her out. He was usually happy to see her.

"Dad! You do not get to do that to me! You cannot just kick me out!" Braveheart shouted. FP raised an eyebrow and scoffed.

"You are the one who left! You left me and your brother so I'm allowed to do what the hell I want!" FP shouted. Braveheart crossed her arms ober her chest.

"Do you know why I left?" She questioned. He knew why but didn't say anything. "Because you became an alcoholic and mentally abused me!" She shouted walking towards him. "So you cannot just shout at me and think it's okay!" FP took a step backwards.

"Leave the damn trailer, Braveheart." He said calmer than before. Braveheart shook her head.

"Renee Matilda Elizabeth Rosemarie Jones! GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!" FP shouted. Braveheart sighed and walked slowly out. She knew when he used her full name that he meant it. She slammed the trailer door as she went out. She walked away from the trailer park.
