Riverdale: The Lost Soul

The card

"Ivy?"
Liz ran towards her girlfriend and hugged her tightly.
She then cupped Ivy's face with her hands and kissed her.
"I thought you were... Weren't you at UCLA?"
Ivy was so so happy Liz was there.
"After Florian asked me to come and I said no, he sent me another text, about a party at the trailer park, so I flew here."
Ivy took her hand and kissed her once again.
"I missed you so much!" Liz said. "How's London?"
Ivy and Liz spent the entire night together, drinking, talking, dancing, and eventually making out.
They were interrupted by Aurelia however, who asked for help with the boys.
Sebastian and Florian could barely stand up anymore.
Liz and Ivy helped carry Florian and Aurelia carried Sebastian with FP. Rebel sort of tagged along, as she was drunk, but not like the boys.

The next morning, Ivy woke up next to Liz who was peacefully snoring in her underwear.
It had been a wild night.
Ivy walked downstairs and found Sebastian and Florian on the couch, on top of each other, fast asleep.
Ivy was very noisy when it came to making coffee and this woke the boys up.
"Please tell me you didn't have sex on that couch or you're buying me a new one."
Florian giggled and then said: "Of course we didn't..." he then paused as he realised he couldn't remember. "We may have done stuff."
Rebel was sitting, still asleep, in the other couch. Aurelia was probably with FP in his room.
"I'm never drinking again..." Sebastian whispered to himself.
"Now that's something I've heard before." Ivy laughed at him.
"Shut up, Jones."
"At least, I can handle my whiskey. I was not sober last night and I still remember having sex with my girlfriend. You don't even remember coming home."
Sebastian and Florian frowned. "Liz is here?"
"She must have seen my text." Florian muttered as he covered his eyes, the room was too bright. "You're welcome, Jones!" he yelled at Ivy.
"Thanks for texting her, Andrews."

At breakfast, which was a table full of hungover teenagers and aspirins being passed around, Aurelia asked FP where his parents were.
"They left for Greenville last night, apparently something important."
"When will they be back?"
"They said three days, so I'm assuming 2-3 days?" Ivy said, still rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
"Why would they go there?" Liz asked them.
"Don't know.." FP said.
"Who's up for a visit to La Bonne Nuit? Mom said we can go over there as often as we want."
The group all agreed.
"You two are drinking water, though, no more alcohol for three years." Ivy pointed to Sebastian and Florian.

La Bonne Nuit also hadn't really changed. Veronica liked her old tables and chairs, so she had kept them the same way for years.
When the group entered the bar, Veronica ran up to all of them and hugged them each.
"Have you all grown even taller?" she joked. Florian hugged her lastly and smiled when she almost cried.
Veronica hadn't had 8 months of joy. After Reggie found out about Aurelia and Florian being siblings, he couldn't stay with her. She understood his decision, however, and she and Archie decided to work things out.
They lived together now, even though Florian and Aurelia didn't completely understand, they didn't get in their parents way.
"You still not calling me mom?" Veronica continued joking.
"Not ever." Florian laughed.

The group had a drink or two and stayed at the bar for hours to come, late into the night.
Once back home, FP noticed something was inside the mailbox.
"You expecting any mail?" he asked his sister.
"No?" Ivy asked him as she took the envelope.
The group had already gone home, Liz and Aurelia stayed however to spend the night with their partners.
"What is it?" Liz asked her girlfriend.
Ivy pulled the paper out of the envelope and opened it, it was a card.
"It's a card announcing a birth, do we have any cousins or aunts who could have had a baby?" she asked her brother, who said he didn't know.
"CJ Jones, born April 7th."
"CJ?"
Aurelia smiled. She liked the name, loved it actually.
"Mika and I... Never mind."
Ivy frowned and asked her to continue.
"You and Mika what?"
"When we were kids, we made this stupid bet. We both wanted to name out kids CJ and we decided that the one who had a kid first would get the name CJ. It's stupid, really."
Liz frowned now as well.
"There's no name of the parents or where the baby was born, that's weird, right?" she said as she took the card and read it through.
"Maybe it's a prank?" Aurelia suggested.
Ivy grabbed a magnet and hung the card on the fridge.
"Maybe."
