Chapter 11

Braveheart sat on her bed. She was in her bedroom. The walls were still covered in possible suspects. She had finally got some alone time. She put the USB stick in her laptop. The USB which she has found in Jason's jacket. She saw there was only ons thing on there. A video. She doubled click it and it popped up. Jason was in a room. There were boxes everywhere. It looked almost a storage closet. This was being recorded by a security camera. Braveheart watched it but after watching it for a few seconds, her phone rang. She took the laptop off her lap and got up of the bed. She walked to her phone and picked it up. She saw it was Reggie. She rolled her eyes but answered anyway.

"Hello." She said leaning against her chest of drawers.

"Braveheartttttt... Hey sexyyyy." He slurred clearly drunk. She sighed again and ran her fingers through her hair.

"Reggie, you are drunk. Why are you calling me?" She question walking towards the laptop. She pulled the USB drive out of the laptop and walked back to her chest of drawers, waiting for his answer. She opened her draw.

"Cause you areeee soooo hotttt. I mean, why wouldn't I?" He said sounding like he didn't honestly care what he was saying. Braveheart laughed as she stuffed the USB drive under a pile of shirts.

"Reggie. For God's sake. Just go home. Get some sleep." Braveheart said taking her phone from her ear. She hung up almost instantly after taking it away from her ear. There was a knock on the door and it opened. Esmee was standing there.

"You okay with cooking for yourself, tonight?" Esmee questioned walking into the room. She was wearing an outfit that made her look stunning.

"Has someone got a dateeeeee?" Braveheart teased walking over. Esmee rolled her eyes and walked out of Braveheart's room. Braveheart followed right behind her.

"Yes, I do. So can you cook for yourself tonight?" She questioned. Braveheart nodded and walked towards the kitchen area.

"I might just order take out. I'll order a pizza. I've been craving one all week." Braveheart shrugged. Esmee nodded.

"See you later. I'm heading out now." Esmee smiled. Braveheart nodded.

Braveheart walked towards Jughead and hugged him. "Happy birthday, Juggie!" She grinned hugging him tightly. They were standing on the porch of Archie's house. She hadn't talked to Archie since they kissed. She didn't know what she would say.

"Air... is something... I need... Brave..." Jughead said clearly finding it hard to breathe. Braveheart laughed and stepped away from Jughead, not hugging him any longer.

"Sorry..." She muttered. Jughead chuckled.

"Don't worry about it. It's your birthday too... Sooo, happy birthday." Jughead smiled. Around Braveheart, he seemed to be a different person. He was less brooding and happier. Maybe it's because they are twins and have been forced to grow up together.

"Thanks, Jug. So tonight... Do you want to go for a burger at Pops?" She questioned a grin on her face. "My treatttt." She smiled. Jughead sighed.

"Why not. Just no party. I barely acknowledge my own birthday. I'm doing this for your sake not my own." Jughead said. Braveheart nodded.

"Okay. Okay. I'm gonna go. I'll see you later. Pick you up at 7?" She asked looking around quickly. Jughead nodded.

"Are you avoiding Archie?" Jughead asked. Braveheart shrugged and walked off the porch. She pulled her bag over her shoulder, adjusting the strap. He chuckled and walked back into the house.

Braveheart's phone began buzzing signifying she is getting a call. She pulled her phone out of her back pocket and answered the call.

"Hello?" She asked continuing to walk down the street towards school.

"Brave, I have two things to say. One- where have you been? Two - are you coming to Jughead's surprise party?" Betty asked from the other side of the phone. An sigh escaped Braveheart's lips.

"I've been at home to answer your first question. To answer your second question. Do not throw Jug a birthday party. He despises parties especially for himself." Braveheart said running up the school steps. She headed towards the Blue and Gold office.

"We are throwing it, Brave. No matter what you say. We've already decided. I'm going to take him to the movies and then we are going to Archie's where we will surprise him." Betty explained her whole plan to Braveheart. Braveheart's heart sank a little bit at her words.

"Yeah. Okay. Fine. I'll be there." Braveheart muttered before quickly hanging up not giving Betty a chance to say goodbye. Braveheart turned away from the Blue and Gold office and instead headed outside to the soccer fields. She called Jughead on the way there.

"Hello?" The familiar voice of her twin brother came through the phone.

"Hey, Juggie." Braveheart said trying to sound enthusiastic as possible.

"Oh, hey Brave. You okay? Why'd you call?" He asked. She sighed and sat down on one of the benches outside.

"To ask why you blew me off to go to the movies with Betty. I'm meant to be your sister, Jug." Braveheart said annoyance clear in her tone. He didn't say anything in return. He stayed complete silent. "Jug?" She asked getting impatient with her brother.

"I'm sorry. We can just do it tomorrow. Okay?" He muttered. Braveheart sighed.

"We only have our birthday once a year, Jug. I can only act happy for one day then I have to go back to how I usually am. So, no, we can't do it tomorrow." She sighed. She hung up on him too. She was sick of people screwing with her. The one day of the year she gets to at least pretend she is happy, her mood is ruined. She just wanted to spent time with her brother but he blew her off. She wasn't all that surprised. Betty and the others meant more to him now.
