Dark Secrets, Big Lies |Toni Topaz|

【Ｃｈａｐｔｅｒ ２】

Before FP was arrested Jade was given a credit card that like clockwork twice a month was deposited with $1,000. She would constantly ask her dad where the money came from, who it came from, and why it was given to her. And his response was always "quit asking questions Jade it's there just use it." And use it she did, as any typical teenager she spent it on clothes, going out to eat, catching her favorite music acts as they came into Riverdale for their tours.

 But unlike the kids from the Northside, Southside kids like Jade, Fangs, Sweet Pea, and Toni they were basically parentless. So that meant taking care of the household bills, cable, rent, and making sure the house was always stocked with groceries. But even though Jug no longer lived with her Jade always made sure that her brother was taken care of as well.

With the money, she was given she always made sure her crew was taken care of as well. She always made sure Toni, Fangs, and Sweet Pea never went without. If they needed anything Jade was always there to help out. They were the "core four of the Southside" and even though the kids on the Northside would call them "trailer trash" they never lived like it. Sure they lived in trailers but walk inside and they had nice furniture and all the bells and whistles the kids on the Northside had. Jade always made sure of it.

Even with making runs for the older serpents for extra cash, Jade's love for cars and motorcycles was huge and if she wasn't in school you'd find her working on a car or motorcycle for the locals of Riverdale. At a young age, she made a name for herself in the community being able to fix anything on any car or bike, painting it, and sending them out the door in record time. It was sort of Jade's side business that she made sure Fangs and Sweet Pea were included on. Jade made sure she taught them everything she knew (well almost everything.)

On her sixteenth birthday when she was talking to her dad for their weekly phone call he told her to walk outside to see her birthday present. When Jade walked outside she was brought to tears seeing the gift of a lifetime sitting in her driveway a fully custom 1960 Dodge Challenger. The one car she had been obsessed with since she was a little girl learning about cars with her dad and grandpa. When she asked who it was from she was once again answered with "don't worry about it just enjoy the gift, baby girl." The Challenger was Jade's pride and joy she made sure weekly it was fully detailed.

One day while out on a run with Sweet Pea her eye was on a beautiful Harley Davidson motorcycle and after three months of saving she walked into the dealership and bought the bike cash. She didn't buy these expensive things to show off, her reasoning for it was to show the younger serpents they were able to do it for themselves as well. That showed the older serpents that she was serious about turning a new leaf she didn't want lazy serpents who did everything half-assed she wanted them to strive for better.
