Family Comes First (Part 1)

[Lili and Cole are married and have 2 daughters. They find out their eldest daughter - Juliet - has been watching Riverdale with Cami's daughter.]

Juliet's POV

"So, Jess, I started watching Riverdale the other day..." I turn to Jessica and said. It's Saturday and Auntie Cami invited me over to hang out with her daughter. I've known her for as long as I can remember - she's one of my best friends, in fact, she's a sister to me.

"Riverdale?! Jules, you can't! You know your parents and my parents both told us not to watch Riverdale. Or at least ask them before!"

We're best friends - but our personalities are polar opposites. I guess I'm more outgoing than her, and she's more shy and reserved. I like to take my chances and I'm a lot more daring than she is, but I still love her all the same.

"Come on! Wouldn't it be hilarious watching your parents on a TV show? Besides, it's actually kinda good. I'm on the last episode of season 1." I tell her.

She hesitates.

"Alright, okay, fine."

"Yes!" I say, grabbing Jessica's laptop from her bed.

"But only one episode, because I don't want to get into any trouble, okay?"

"Yeah, yeah, okay, ONE episode."

I sit down on her couch in her room and I bring up Netflix. I go to 'Riverdale' and click on the episode I'm up to. Jessica gets out some snacks from under her bed and comes and sits down next to me. 

"I promise you, you'll love it," I say.

20 minutes pass, and we're both still sitting on the couch, in the middle of the episode. We're at the part in the season 1 finale where Betty and Jughead are cuddling outside of Southside High.

"Wow... they're so cute, and they seem so obsessed with each other," Jess turns to me and says with a smile. "Is that how Lili and Cole are in real life, then?"

"Are you kidding me? Bughead HATE each other compared to my parents. Mom and Dad are so in love and can't keep away from each other, seriously!"

"Awh, that's so cute, though!"

"I guess. Sometimes I walk in on them making out and THAT'S disgusting if you ask me..."

We both laugh our heads off, almost spilling the snacks and drinks everywhere on the floor. I hear footsteps approaching the door and then I hear a knock.

"Come in, Mom," Jessica calls out.

Auntie Cami opens the door and walks inside. She's wearing a cute, striped flared top with some jeans. Her sunglasses are pulled back on her head and she's still wearing her shoes. She'd just returned from running errands all evening.

"Hey, girls."

We both greet her with a smile.

"I just got back and picked up some snacks for you guys on the way. If you need anything, Juliet, just come and ask me, okay?" she turns to me and says.

"Of course, I will," I reply, taking the extra snacks from her hand as she reached out and offered them to me. "And thanks for the snacks!"
