Jenson Harris in MM

Mercy POV

I pull up to the bus station and I see my bike, thank God for over protective parents. I get out and to the main lobby and see my best friend looking lost. He sees me and walks to me and just throws his body into me.

Me:Don't cry on me, you're heavy, Jughead.

He pulls away slightly and speaks a small grin on his face.

Jughead:Only person I know who tells someone not to cry on them.

Me:It beats saying I'm so sorry. I am but no one wants to hear that.

He sighs and nods.

Jughead: I called my mom to tell her that I was coming down... You know what she said? They have no space, nows not a good time and that she's sorry. Can you believe that? This is why I expect nothing from anyone, I can't even expect decent parenting from my parents.

I sigh and rub his back.

Me:Well, I may not be the best of best friends but you'll always have me okay? I can't promise to always be there but I'll be there for you either through phone or spirit. You still staying with Archie?

Jughead:I don't want to.

Me:Fine we'll go to Pop's and then to my house. Come on.

Jughead:What about your bike?

Me:I'll get someone to come get it. Come on.

We sit in silence as he looks out of the window, my water being sipped slowly. I see the trio walking in and I sigh sitting up more. They crowd around him.

Betty:Jug, we're so sorry... About everything.

Archie:Juggy, we screwed up. We all did. Breaking into your dad's trailer was wrong but at least some good came out of it.

Jughead:Pretty sure my dad was just arrested for murder.

Veronica:That gun wasn't there when we searched his trailer. Someone put it there after we left.

He looks at her then Betty.

Jughead:What are you talking about?

Me:We gotta go tell sheriff Keller.

Archie:We'll get into trouble we broke in. It'll be no good.

Me:Not if me and Jughead go. We'll say that we were looking for his social security or birth certificate we turned the place upside down and that gun wasn't there.

Betty:But if they find out that it's a lie.

Me:They won't. Because we'll make sure the story is air tight... Including the one we tell our parents.

Dad:My dad won't let you, merc.

Me:I hope he wouldn't. Let's go.

We run into the station and we see sheriff Keller walk up.

Veronica:Sheriff we need to talk to you about FP Jones.

Sheriff:What about him?

Archie:He's innocent. He's being framed.

Sheriff:Then why did he just confess?
