Alone

•05•

  Soon, I heard light banging on the door. I looked between Veronica & Daniel. "I think he's here."  They look towards the door and nodded.

I walked towards the door, about to unlock it & turn the knob. Daniel stopped me.

"Alissa, what are you doing?" He had his hand on my stomach.

"I want to talk to him. I need to talk to him." I told him.

"Is that really wise?" He asked.

"Probably not, but please let me." I finally looked at him. He nodded & let me go. I opened the door & stepped out, looking at the floor.

"Hi, Wonder." I looked up at him.

"Why are you back? You said you would never come back here."

"Maybe I changed my mind." He smirked. I wanted to slap that smirk off his face. He leaned in towards my ear. "And I know how much you want to slap the smirk off my face." I dug my nails into my palm to keep from losing control. I always did that.

"Shut up, Archie." I said, venom seeping out into my tone.

He leaned towards my lips & I backed away. He pouted. "No kiss?"

"Never again. Not after what you and my father both did." I blinked to stop the tears.

"We kept it from you to keep you safe. I only knew because he told me. Because he knew I was from Riverdale."

"Why did you have to come into my life?" I looked up at him.

"I don't know how the universe works, but maybe it was a sign that you belonged here. Maybe I was supposed to inspire you to come here. Who knows." He could've been right. God I hate saying he's right, it's gross. Then, a question came to my mind.

"Okay. What happened with you and Veronica?" His smirk disappeared.

"I don't want to answer that." I nodded & started to walk away from him, but he grabbed my wrist. I looked up at him.

"Yes?"

"I'm sorry for everything I've done. Your father is too." I scoffed & got away from his grasp.

"Okay. Take the exit out of my life. I'm on a mission."

He looked down. "Yeah, there's probably something else you should know..." He looked at me with sadness. I looked at him in confusion, edging him to continue. "You have a brother. And the father you grew up with isn't your actual father. Your father is here, in Riverdale. Same with the aunt you're trying to find. But your brother is around your age." I nodded, trying to process all this. This was left out when they finally told me.

"I-I-I need to leave..." I walked back to the shore, leaving Archie there at Veronica's door. I couldn't breathe. Who was my brother? Who was my dad? Who was my aunt? These three people I need to find, not knowing a single way on how to find them.

-Time Skip: middle of the night-

I eventually went home after my panic attack. I guess Archie had left after I did and Veronica was asleep. No sign of Daniel anywhere. He probably left, so I texted him.

AS: Hey

D: Hey, what's up?

AS: Did you go home?

D: No. I stayed with Veronica to make sure she was okay. Where did you go?

AS: I needed to get away. Archie is gone.

D: Did something happen?

AS: Yes, but I don't want to talk about it yet. But I'm in the guest room now.

D: Okay, hold on.

AS: Okay

After that, I heard a knock on the door. I got up and opened it. There was Daniel, standing there in my doorway. I stepped aside & let him in. I closed my door behind him.

"Hi." I smiled.

"Hi." He smiled back. I yawned. "Are you tired?" I nodded my head and he dragged me to my bed. I giggled. "Let's go to sleep then." I sat on my bed beside him. I could feel my face turn pink. I think he noticed it too. I've never been this way around a guy. Usually I'm scaring them or they're chasing me. I put my hand in his and looked up at him. He looked down at our now interlocked hands and then back up at me. I laid my head on his shoulder.

"Oh it has been a crazy day." He laughed & nodded.
"Yeah, but glad I got to be there for you and V." I smiled, but I know he couldn't see it. I didn't know when it happened, but my vision turned to dark, sensing I was falling asleep.
