L O D G E

As I was walking home from work I felt a slight sting in my heart. I felt heart-broken seeing Archie so worried about me. He shouldn't have to go through that. Which is why I plan on stopping my cravings. I could do it. It wasn't that hard. I am not addicted to drugs or alcohol. I'm not like my father. My father was a bad man and I would never want to be him nor would I let myself stoop to such a level.

Ten minutes later I found myself surrounded by the smell of alcohol and a stuffy nose from inhaling cannabis. Although the scent of alcohol roamed around I still smelt my mother's aroma. I bunched the blanket together bringing to my nose inhaling it in. What would my mother say if I kept the baby. I bet she would have said something along the lines of... "Veronica, I am so happy for you. I knew you would turn out to be the grown, brave strong women I thought you'd be ever since you were little. And I'm sure Archie will be ecstatic when he finds out. I love you Mija."

I let out a sob of grief. She would have been so happy for me. She would have been a grandmother. She always jested around saying she wanted grandkids before she died. I laughed slightly at the memory. Later the tears started coming in. She really kept me in line after what happened with Nick. But now there's no one. No one to pet my hair, and tell me that I was such a brave girl. No one to do my laundry or bring me tea in the morning or read my infinite books to me while I drifted off to sleep. Except... there was one.

Archie.

Archie Andrews. He always checked up on me and asked me how I was doing. He wanted me to get better but I was damaged. I was truly shaken. I was a sharp sword that was now shattered into pieces. It's all my fault. Why did I let Nick do that to me? I'm so fucking stupid!

"Aghh!" I yelled, throwing the glass of rum against the wall. I grabbed my hair wanting to pull it out. I just wanted to be done with everything. The pain, the grief, the anger and rage that has been boiling inside of me. I needed a release. I had no escape...

I walked home with my head hanging low and a weapon in hand. I was drunk and high but it doesn't mean I wasn't smart. Although it wasn't a smart idea to go home like this. I needed to sober up. Maybe when I go home I should take a cold shower. That would sober me up. I took off my heels, sore from the walk. The bumpy rocks peircing my feet with each step.

After walking deep into the forest I found the resort. It sheened a yellow glow from the lights that were still on this hour. I pushed the door open into Archie and I's room. However, when I opened the door I was introduced to an empty room. It was dark so you weren't able to see the redness of my eyes or how vividly red they were. The bed was messed up and their was a drink on the table with ice still in it. Someone was in here a few minutes ago. That's when I heard someone clear their throat.

"Ronnie, I didn't expect you to come," I saw a dark figure beside the door. I whipped my head around to see a familiar silhouette. His white collared shirt and khakis gave it away.

"Well, I'm here," I shrugged, "I'm about to head into the shower... You wanna join?"

"I'm surprised Veronica. You come home late, you reek of something. I don't know what. You walk in as if you have no worries. And then you try and seduce me," The shadow emerges from the dark revealing his red hair and his hazel eyes. However he still had this mysterious persona.
