The Other Cooper (#1 Riverdale Fan Fiction)

Chapter 27: Homecoming, Daddy Issues Pt.2, Curtain Call.

"Do you see him?" Jules whispered in Mary's ear as Mary looked around the dance floor to see if Reggie was there. Sweaty teens were dancing up against on another and others were spiking the punch. It was teenage heaven for some. Mary kept on looking and then she saw him with Moose. They were talking by the table with two girls, Vixens.

"Will you be okay if I leave you for five minutes?" Mary asked her mom and Jules nodded her head.

"I see Alice so i'll go speak to her." Jules answered before she walked over to Alice. Mary began to push her way through the crowd and then ended up right in front of Archie and Veronica. 

"Other Cooper, hey." Veronica smiled weakly as she stood next to Archie. Everyone was awkward around Mary now because of everything that had happened. Also the fact that she was moving.

"Hey guys. Would love to chat but I have to go talk to someone." Mary said politely before she continued to walk towards Reggie. The girls were trying to flirt with Reggie and Mary began to get jealous. "Can we talk?" Mary asked Reggie as she stood in between him and the vixen. Reggie just smirked a little to himself. 

"Let's talk." He replied back and Mary took his hand as she guided him into the hallway. She leaned against a locker and Reggie stood in front of her. Mary just looked at him in the eyes. "You wanted to talk?" Reggie stated finally the silence. 

"I think we are done." Mary smiled to herself. Mary was moving schools to find a new her and she had to leave this Reggie thing to rest. Reggie looked a little bit hurt. Truth was Reggie always thought they would end up together because he was ready to forgive Mary. 

"I think is." Reggie whispered before he kissed Mary. Mary forgot how good it felt to have his lips on hers moving in sync. Mary was fighting pulling away but she did. 

"One last time." Mary grinned to him as she pulled him into the girls bathroom. They smirked to one another as they kept on kissing as they walked into the stall. Mary began to take off his shirt and Reggie zipped down her jumpsuit. Mary laughed to herself because she was letting Reggie get to her again but Mary swore to herself that this was going to be the last time. 

"Break up make outs are the best." Reggie grinned as he buttoned up his shirt and Mary fixed her lipstick in the mirror. It got really passionate between the two of them. "What's it going to be like when you go to the Southside?" Reggie asked as Mary popped the lid back on her lipstick before she turned to face him.

"It will be different for everyone. I am only really going to be staying in touch with Betty and Jughead." Mary explained as she hoisted herself up on sink cabinet. Reggie walked over to her and stood in between her legs. He tugged back her loose hair behind her ear. 

"And there will be no us?" Reggie asked and Mary shook her head before she kissed him on the cheek. "I am ready for us again." Reggie promised and Mary sighed as she bit her red lips. 

"I am not." Mary answered honestly. "Maybe things would have been different if I just admitted I liked you and had no feelings for Archie. I was confused." Mary admitted and Reggie raised an eyebrow. 

"So I was better than Andrews?" He asked jokingly and Mary just wrapped her legs around his waist. 

"You are my first love, Mantle." Mary whispered and that took a lot of guts from her. Reggie was away to say something else but Mary heard someone running down the school corridors. "Come on." Mary instructed as her and Reggie ran out of the bathroom and followed Mary. 

"There they are." Kevin panted as he saw Archie, Veronica, Betty and Jughead all together. Mary looked at her five friends and was going to miss what they once had. Their friendship meant everything to Mary but things were messing it up. She had a big part to play with dating Archie Andrews. "My dad just told Mayor McCoy about your dad, Jughead." Kevin admitted and everyone looked around confused. 

"What about my dad?" Jughead asked and Mary looked scared. What if FP had told Jughead about her? About Mary being his daughter? 

"He was just arrested." Kevin admitted and Mary's stomach sank. She held onto Reggie to help keep her balance. "For the murder of Jason Blossom." Kevin whispered the last part to some extent. Jughead did not say a word he just ran out. Mary chased after him, nobody else did. 

"Jug!" Mary shouted as she grabbed onto his shoulder and held him back. Jughead looked distraught and was crying his eyes out. Mary held onto him as he cried and cried. "It will be okay." Mary cooed but Jughead shook his head.

"He was getting better, we were getting better. He told me that he had big news to tell me before the dance and if only I knew what it was." Jughead whimpered a little and Mary had never seen him so hurt. The rain was battering off of their skins but Mary tried to fight back the cold.

"FP's my dad." Mary admitted and let's be honest, not the best timing in the world. Jughead looked at her confused. "That was the big news." Mary added and Jughead shook his head. "FP cheated on my mom with yours, you are my half-brother." Mary finished and Jughead shook his head, denial.

"Leave me alone, Mary." Jughead warned before he continued to run. Mary sat down on the sidewalk and cradled herself as she cried. Twenty or so minutes later her mom came and sat down beside her in the rain.

"I almost had a dad." Mary whimpered as she laid her head on her mom's lap. Jules was caressing her daughters hair gently. Mary was devastated that FP was arrested because she was going to get to know him. But if he was some murderer then there was no way in hell. 

"I know baby." Jules whispered as she held back her tears. Truth was Jules wanted to get to know the new and improved FP and maybe finally be family. Mary was shivering from the cold and Jules placed her jacket over Mary. "I know." Jules repeated as she wiped away her tears. 

The End.

It's only took me two years and seven books later but we finally made it to the end of the first book. Wow.

I hope you guys like the ending and I am so excited to start writing the next book. This has been an absolute blast and that you for 71K!!!!!! That's amazing and I actually started crying.
