It'd been almost a month since Nova disappeared, as soon as Fangs told me she was gone, I went to Fred's place, and questioned him and Archie about Nova, but they just said she's okay. They just said she left and she's not coming back. They won't tell me what happened, nor will Jones. I know they know something I don't. I know something's happened to her.

It's been hard since she left. I did love her, I do love her, but I'm so angry. How could she just leave me? Why would she just leave me? My days have been filled with emptiness and my nights have been filled with Alcohol, but Fangs helped me out of it. Thank god for Fangs.

The other Serpents keep encouraging me to move on, but every time they do, Jones looks like he's been kicked in the gut. He knows where she is, I know it. It'd been a long month without her. I keep dreaming of her. I wish I didn't I hate that I do, but I can't stop thinking about her. I miss her.

"Yo, Sweet pea!" I hear from behind me as I sit at the campsite waiting for Fangs.

I turn to see Jewels and Danny walking towards me.

"Hey." I say.

"Don't tell me you're still moping over Nova?" Danny rolls his eyes at me.

"Fuck off." I grumble.

"Hey, give him a break, Danny. Nova's an A-class chick, I'd be sad too." Jewels says.

"Well, she's gone. What does it matter." I snap.

"You, my friend, need to get back out there." Danny says. "Sure, Daniels was hot, but she's gone. Outta sight, outta mind."

"Nah, man. I'm not-"

"I don't mean go fall in love, just go find someone to bang, get your mind off your ex." Danny says.

"As much as I wanna disagree, maybe you should find someone to mess around with?" Jewels suggests.

"Just drop it, would you?" I snap.

"Fine, fine." Danny rolls his eyes again. "Here comes your boyfriend, we'll catch you later."

Danny and Jewels walk away as Fangs approaches.

"What was that about?" Fangs asks.

"They're telling me I should get a rebound." I say.

"Well... It's been a month, Pea. Maybe you should?" Fangs says as the two of us walk through the campgrounds towards Pops. "Plus, you're the one who said even if she came back it wouldn't change anything."

"Maybe, dude. I dunno." I sigh, the horny teenage guy in me screams yes, but the heartbreak in me is taunting me. I want my girl back. I want Nova.

Fangs ditches me at Pops to go help Toni with something a bit later on, leaving me alone in the booth.

"Hey, Sweet pea." A voice says, I look up to see Josie McCoy which surprises me considering I've barely spoken to her.

"Oh, hey Josie." I respond.

"Do you mind if I sit?" She asks.

"Not at all." I say as she sits down. "What do you need?"

"I heard you and Nova broke up." She says.

"Hasn't everyone." I sigh.

"Are you okay?" She asks.

"Sure. Why?" I ask, she smiles at me, giving me an inviting look.

"Well... I dunno, I've always thought she got lucky with you. She's insane for ditching you." Josie flirts, I raise an eyebrow at the cute girl sat before me.

"Is that so?" I ask, she nods.

"I know so... I mean, I'm usually one to play hard to get, but I know exactly what I want." She says.

"Good to know." I wink at her.

"Sweet pea, I'm the type of girl that goes for what she wants." Josie informs me.

"Again, good to know." I say.

"I'd like to get together with you sometime." She says, putting a hand on my own.

"I think that could be arranged." I say

"Do you wanna get outta here?" She asks. "Go somewhere a bit more private?"

I look at her in surprise.

"What?" I ask, Josie's forwardness taking me by surprise.

"You heard me." She smirks.


(A/N: I'm pretty much posting another filler so I can talk to those reading this lol. I need some advice, I'm really nervous about Nova's current storyline but it makes for another one back in Riverdale. I dunno. Plus I have pre-written up to chapter 53 currently (as of August 2019 incase someones reading this in the future) and I don't know how often to post, I don't wanna run out of pre-written stuff but I also wanna give ya'll that #content what do I do help meeee)
