A Walk To Remember

The Mishap

JUGHEAD POV

I pulled up to the area my friends and I decided to meet. We were trespassing on private property, but it was fine. It's not like we were gonna get caught. You see, I have a lot of friends. I'm for sure one of the most popular boys in school.

My best friend is Sweetpea. Archie Andrews and Fangs Fogarty were good friends of mine too. Veronica Lodge is Archie's girlfriend and Toni Topaz is apart of the group...and she's my ex-girlfriend. I dumped her when my dad left about 8-months ago.

I parked my car and got out of the car. Archie ran up to me and we did our secret handshake. Everyone else and I greeted each other and were drinking beer. I occasionally drink but I never drink all the time. Especially not when driving.

"Is he here yet?" I asked.

"No, we're still waiting. He's such a loser!" Fangs laughed. We all gave a laugh.

"I wanna go back to the dance!" Toni exclaimed.

"Then go. Nobody's stopping you." Archie smirked. Toni looked at me and went up to me and put her body against mine.

"Jones, you should come dance with me." Toni smiled. I pushed her off me and scoffed. I walked away from her and walked over to Archie. I really didn't like being around Toni because it was so awkward.

"I don't dance." I groaned.

"He's right. I've seen him try and it's really ugly. But I can dance so why don't you and I get in the back of that car and get busy." Sweetpea said put his body against Toni's. Toni pushes him away and shook her head.

"Stop and get some help." Toni giggled. We heard a car pull up close to us and we saw Dilton Doiley get out of his car. He was so desperate to be popular and hang out with us that he said he would jump from 80ft into water. What an idiot.

"Hey guys." Dilton said. Archie went up to him and pushed him lightly.

"You're late. We almost got back in our cars and left. Don't even do that again." Archie said aggressively. Veronica went up to Archie and linked arms with him. He pushed her away and then walked away. Toni took Veronica's arm and they want to the bridge together. I decided to stay behind and talk to Dilton.

"Hey man, I'm jumping with you." I said and pat Dilton on the back. He gulped and looked at the plank he would be jumping off of.

"How deep is it?" Dilton asked.

"I don't know. I guess we'll just have to find out."

"Does Archie always act like that?"

"Absolutely. It grows on you though." I said. We walked to the ladder and I took off my pants and t-shirt. I was just in a tank top and shorts and Dilton took off his jacket and pants. We climbed up the ladder and got to where the plank was. Everyone was cheering us on and Dilton was obviously really scared. I got next to him and started to count.

"Alright. 3...2-" I counted and then pushed him off. We laughed as he fell into the water. There was a giant splash and I looked away from the water because I couldn't control my laughter. There was suddenly silence and my friends weren't laughing anymore.

"Jughead! He's hurt! Get down here! Oh my gosh!" I heard Toni yell. I stopped laughing and looked down at the water. Dilton was facing upside down in the water unconscious.

"Oh crap!" I yelled. I climbed down the ladder and got to the ground. I got in the water and swam to Dilton. I got to the dock and my friends helped me pull him up. He wasn't breathing. He had a bloody nose and his arm looked like it had been twisted.

"Hey! What are you doing here?!" I heard a man yell. We looked over and there was a cop shining his flashlight at us. Archie, Fangs, Veronica, and Toni took off running. Sweetpea stayed with me as I did CPR on Dilton.

"Come on! Dilton, breathe!" I groaned. I did more chest compressions and Dilton started to cough up water. Sweetpea took off running at that moment and I looked at Dilton. He moaned and was crying. He was in so much pain. I sighed and then heard police sirens. I got up and ran. I went and grabbed the clothes I had taken off and then ran to my car. I got in my car and started it automatically. I took off driving and was going over the speed limit. I saw 3 cop cars behind me coming after me.

"No, no, no! Crap!" I yelled. I took a turn and that ended up me crashing into a dumpster. My head hit the steering wheel and my car stopped. A flashlight shined in my face. The police officer shook his head and sighed.

"I'm gonna need you to go out of the car. You're coming to the station."
