It was the day of tryouts and I went just as support I guess , I sat in the auditorium and waited for him to go up , and when he did I felt taken back a second bye how good he actually was at singing , he made the cut obviously , and after that we were walking home for some reason the whole week it was raining , including today , "you know what you said about you not wanting to be best friends with someone who's gonna kill themselves" he nodded ,
"I think you're right" I said , "what do you mean" "I don't want you to wake up one day and I won't be here anymore" "you're indicating that you're gonna kill yourself ?" I nodded "that's always how my life was gonna end" , "you can't kill yourself betty" "why" "because you have a family , even if it's just you're mom and brother they love you and you have me and I love you" he said , I nodded "I just really wish you could hate me so it wouldn't hurt you" "if you go I'll go the next hour" I nodded ,
The next couple of days nothing happened , after you catch a serial killer life tends to get boring ,
I was in class and The teacher told me to go to the principals office , when I walked in I saw principal weather bee , and Reggie , ew I sat down and the guy basically said I had to tutor him "I'm not doing that" "it gives you really good credits , other than the newspaper and it will give you a even higher chance for scholarships " "i can pay for college thank you" "When you pay you tend to get the lower classes and if they see you're grades and stuff they'll accept you faster" I nodded "fine I'll do it" ,
the next day after school I had to go to reggies house , I wasn't comfortable with it I just put up with it , when I got in he smelled of beer "are you fucking drunk" I said , "what , no no" I rolled my eyes and sat at the table , he pretended to listen for like 20 minutes , then when I looked up at him he got the message I wanted to kiss him , so he kissed me for a solid half a second before I pushed him "what the fuck" , he stood up and started walking towards me ,
"I'm leaving find another fucking tutor" when I was about to open the door he pushed me against the wall and choked me for a couple seconds , I tried to say something but I felt my throat caving in I pushed him again and almost fell while gasping for air , I ran out and he grabbed the flower pot bye his front door and tried to throw it at me , we lived only like 5 houses from each other , I went to jughead house and ran to his room , he was on his bed and I laid next to him "why are you crying" i hugged him , and when I let go he said "whats wrong" "ughh nothing I just like cut my toe super hard in you're door and started crying " "I call bullshit" "fuck" I said , "fine I thinking about killing myself again and I just came here" "oh" I stayed there for a bit and we just hung out the way we normally do ,
The next day at school I went to sleep super late because I couldn't sleep , and I got half a hour of sleep , I fell asleep in like three of my classes and mr fourth period sent me to the office , I was wearing a turtle neck because my bruises were super dark and visible , I always had my hair down so maybe that helped , in the office mr weather bee was talking to me about having a good sleep schedule , when I had to yawn and my head tilted back , " I'm gonna call you're mother really quickly" I nodded , I thought it was to pick me up to something , but 10 minutes later my mom came with like 2 police officers , I panicked really quick ,
these next couple of scenes are inspired bye euphoria justice for maddy asf
She sat next to me and principal weather bee said I had marks on my neck , my mom folded the neck part of my shirt down "it's nothing stop" I was crying to "who did this to you betty" she said "nobody"
then the police took me and my mom to one of those weird secret rooms in the office "we need to know who hurt you" "nobody fucking touched me" I said , "the only person she talks to is jughead jones"
"it wasn't him" "that's common with abuse victims they try to protect there abuser , because they love them" "jughead wouldn't hurt me sometimes he gets mad and just talks to me about it but he'd never touch me" I said , "well bring the boy in for questioning" "I want to press charges" my mom said , "no we're not" and we were yelling at each other , then they took me to the police station and I was in the waiting thing we're they question people , then a lady walked in "we need you to take off you're shirt" I was still sobbing , I went to the corner "get away from me , "we just need you to show us you're neck or we're gonna make you and that's not better at all" I nodded , I sat back down in the chair and pulled down my turtle neck , she took a couple pictures and then left the room , I was in the chair crying my heart out , then I went back to the conference room , and they were talking to me , then I turned around and saw jughead , he had hand cuffs and there were two officers behind him , he mouthed to me"I'm sorry" i said "I love you" then they took him to another room , "why is he in hand cuffs"
"Because were leading to believe that he choked you and you're covering for him" "but he didn't" I said , you could barely hear me through the sobs "well until you tell us who did were gonna keep me jones in here , witch will practically ruin his college career , it will be incredibly hard to get a job and when he walks down the street people are gonna spit at him and call him a animal" I couldn't imagine doing that to him because I didn't have the guts to say who did it , "Reggie , Reggie mantle" the lady nodded ,
after a couple hours I got to go home , I was laying in my moms bed while she hugged me , she fell asleep and I slipped away and went to Charles room , "hey" he hugged me "are you alright" I nodded , "I heard what happened sorry dude" "it's fine I don't want to talk about it " we talked for a while and then I went back to my room for a couple hours
