My Everything ~ Jarchie

Archie

I walked into the house to see dad drinking his morning coffee. He smiled "good your home, you need to were a turtleneck for a few days." I sighed and Dad sighed after me "I'm not mad, just hope you were safe because of all those diseases" "we were, I told him I loved him."

Dad stopped sipping his coffee, he smiled at me "what did he say?" "He told me he loved me back." He seemed very pleased when his phone rang though. He picked it up and answered "hello?" "So what's going on?" Fp, Jugheads father, "oh my God will be right over there."

I looked terrified at my father "what happened?" "Jughead was found behind the Southside bar almost dead,  Serpent tattoo cut off. He's in the hospital right now."

I froze, I couldn't move, I bit my tongue until it started to bleed, this wasn't a dream. I felt my mouth go dry, "is he going to be okay?" I asked with no emotion, he sighed "they don't know." I slowly noded, I slowly walked to the door and got in the truck, dad followed shortly after, driving me to the Hospital.

I ran to the nurse and asked: "where is Jughead Jones?" She looked at her clipboard "yes he is in room 124" I  ran down the hall and eventually found it. I burst through the door, Fp jumped instantly, I looked at Jughead.

He was civeted in bruises, his lips were purple and with a few cuts. His arms were covered in hashes, bandages and bruises, his head beanieless. There was a giant bandage covering his shoulder, his serpent tattoo.

I couldn't hold back the tears, Fp slowly got up and placed a hand on my shoulder "he will be okay I know it" "how do you know?" I asked through a light sob, he smiled at me "he's a Jones, he will pull through." I smiled at him, he pulled me into a hug, he smiled at me "I got to yo get the Serpents together, can you watch him?" "Of course."

I say there for hours all I did was stare at him, I couldn't help it. I couldn't stop crying either. He just looked like he was dead, barely breathing without that tube in his nose.

I was getting a sleeper, *cough* I looked up to see Jugheads eyes open, I ran over next to him. I knelt down next to him "Juggie.." He looked over at me and smiled "hello Archie." I wrapped my arms around him carefully not to hurt him "Archie I'm so glad your here. Where are Penny and her little weak gang?" "Jug they beat the shit out of you. Your dad his having a meeting about it at the bar."
He slowly nodded "okay" he whispered.

I light bulb felt like it went on in my head "how about I become a serpent?"  He froze "I don't think that's a good idea Arch. That's a life commitment." I shrugged my shoulders "so? I want to protect you and help you" "they will give protection to you on return, you have to be willing to die for us" "I'd due for you" he turned red and held back a few tears "I would die for you too." Jughead then clapped his hands "okay I'll call my dad up and will start the Serpent trials" "trials?"
