Chapter 39

Ezra Jones
"Ezra! Thank God, where the Hell were you!" Jughead shouted, hugging me tightly once I'd walked into the house.

I smiled, hugging him back "I lost him, climbed through a first floor window and ran like hell back home"

He let go of me, taking out his phone "Dad and the Serpents went looking for you everywhere, I'm going to call them"

I passed out of the couch not long after I got home, waking up to my dad asleep on the armchair and Jordan on the floor.

I stepped over him, dragging myself into the kitchen to get something to eat, being interrupted by my phone ringing, it was Archie.

"Hey! I was wondering if you wanted to train with me and Munroe? I'm getting ready for my fight tonight" He asked, rather cheerful for someone about to hop in the ring with their girlfriends father.

"Uh, yeah sure! I'll be over soon!"

*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

It was nearly time for the fight and people were starting to arrive, their bets in hand.

Archie was already in the ring, practicing.

"Listen, Arch. He's going to try kill you. But only if you let him, okay? Do it for Ronnie" He smiled, nodding his head.

The fight ended the way we expected, the FBI busting Hirams ass in front of the town. Publicly humiliating him and ending whatever hold he had on this town.

Elated, I made my way to Jordan's trailer, only to be met with Marcus packing bags into the back of his truck, Jordan coming out behind him.

"What's going on? Jordan what's happening?" I ask, obviously confused.

"We're leaving, thought he woulda told you" Marcus answered "There's nothing left for us here"

Jordan looked down, not saying a word.

"Tell me he's lying." I mumble

"Ezra,-"

"Tell me he's lying!" I scream, cutting him off "What do you mean there's nothing here? What about me!" I cried, pointing at myself.

"I don't have a choice! You think I want to leave you behind?!" He yells back "Aren't you thinking about how I feel too?"

"So why didn't you tell me before?! What, you thought you could up and leave before I got back?"

"You think I wanted to see you like this? You think I knew?"

"So you're just going to leave me here, alone, with nobody?" My voice breaks, I'm crying properly now and I can't stop.

He pulls me into him, hugging me tightly "I'm so sorry baby, I'm so fucking sorry"

"You said you loved me, you said we were going to get married, that I was the most important thing in your life, you lied to me" I sob into his chest, holding on as tight as I can so he can't leave me "You promised you weren't going to let me go again, you pinky promised. You can't break a pinky promise!"

He's crying now too, and unless I've completely lost my mind I'm certain I heard his dad cry too.

"Jordan, I'm sorry my boy, we have to go now" Marcus says sadly, getting in the car.

Jordan pulled away, holding my shoulders tight "Ezra, I love you so fucking much, okay? Don't you ever fucking forget that. You're my first love, the love of my life and nothing in this universe can ever ever change that, you hear me? When I go, please don't sit around all sad. Live your life"

"How am I supposed to do that alone? We were meant to do it together."

"I know baby, I'm so sorry. I love you, you know this, but please don't wait for me. Move on, be happy." He smiles sadly, kissing my forehead and getting into the car.

"Goodbye, darlin'"
