Christmas rolled around soon after F.P's party, to which he never really retired from the Serpents in hopes of taking all of Jughead's debt from a woman named Penny Peabody, so what Toni and Jughead told me. Uncle Fred, Archie and I are opening up a tree spot in front of Pops. I held the doors open as Archie and Uncle Fred brought a tree into Pops, to decorate the Chocklit Shoppe for the upcoming holiday.
"What do you say Pop? Is it okay?" Archie asked as they set down the tree, I smiled fully walking into the Shoppe. I pulled my jacket a little closer to myself trying to fight the coldness that had seeped through.
"The best tree yet." Pop answered. I smiled stepping closer to the three men. "Thanks, Archie, thanks, Fred, thanks, Roxy."
"Oh, no. Thank you, Pop,for letting us set up shop right in front of your diner." Uncle Fred said. Archie tapped my arm lightly and nodded his head towards something. I looked over and saw Juggy sitting there with his laptop sitting in front of him. I smiled lightly and sent him a wave. Archie walked forward to talk to him. I went out to help Fred set up the rest of the small shop.
"So, why didn't you stay in there to talk with Jughead? You guys fighting?" Uncle Fred questioned as I helped him unload a tree.
"No, we are fine. Him and Archie haven't talked a whole bunch so I thought to just leave them to talk." I responded as we successfully pulled the tree out of the truck.
"Do you think this is a good size for Jughead's place?" He asked as we looked at the tree. I slowly nodded my head with a small smile. I was getting kind of depressed, because this is gonna be the first Christmas without my parents. We'd always come to Riverdale instead of Archie and Uncle Fred coming to us. I looked around at all the Christmas trees. I felt an arm wrap around my shoulder, I started crying softly as I turned into their chest.
"I know. I miss them too." The voice was Archie's, his arms wrapped around me tightly.
"I can't believe they've been gone for months now, and it still hurts this much." I muttered quietly. I lifted my head off his chest and wiped my eyes. "I got makeup on your jacket." I say laughing quietly through the tears. I used my thumb to try and get the makeup off. Uncle Fred came up and wrapped his arm around my upper back as Archie kept in around my shoulders. "Everything is going to be different for sure." I said as we looked at the trees.
"Yeah, but we will make do, like we always do." Uncle Fred said, I leaned my head on his shoulder lightly. It's going to be a rough Christmas for all of us.

The next day I walked down the steps checking my bag to make sure I didn't forget anything, when I heard Archie and Uncle Fred's voices talking.
"Dad, what is that? A letter from the Black Hood?" I heard Archie question. I rounded the steps and stood by the wall listening to them talk.
"No, it's worse. Riverdale General. My hospital bill." Uncle Fred replied.
