The southside boy

38

~Mary's POV~

I knocked on the room Jessica was in, and opened it seeing her sitting on Archie's bed.

"I wanted to say, last night was not pleasing. And I don't want you to mess with Archie and Jughead's relationship."

"It's not my fault Jughead's a complete 𝐚𝐬𝐬." Jessica said

"Jessica, I told your mom about everything. She said you will be going back home, and staying with your grandparents." I said

"Fine, whatever." She said getting up and packing her bags.

"I'll get you a Uber." I said walking out, as I peeked into Jugheads room seeing them asleep.

I had Jessica go back to Chicago, as I made some nice breakfast for the boys and I.

"Morning Mrs. Andrews" Jughead said walking downstairs

"Morning!" I said smiling, as I handed him breakfast.

"Jughead I wanted to talk to you." I said sitting next to him at the table

"What's up, Mrs. A?" He asked

"I wanted to say, thank you for being here for Archie. And not giving up on him. And I love how different you are from your dad." I said

"You knew my dad?!" He said looking at me

"Yep, we dated all of the years in high school"

"Why did you stop?" He asked

"He got..more physical." I said

"I'm so sorry" he said

"But your like another son to me, Jughead." I said patting his back

He smiled as I got up.

"Oh, another thing. You and Archie haven't..done it in my bed..right..?" I asked

"Oh no, Mrs. Andrews..not yet." He said

"That's good..wait yet?!" I said laughing

^3:17 pm^

"Why isn't Archie awake yet?" I asked Jughead

"I have no clue, want me to wake him up?" He asked

"No, I'll do it." I said as I walked upstairs

"Archie Andrews, wake up, it is 3 in the afternoon." I said pulling the covers off him

"Go away, mom." He said

"No, you need to get up" I said

"Fine, what the hell ever." He said getting off the bed going on the couch downstairs.

"Archie. Do not use that tone with me." I said walking downstairs

"All is whatever."

"No, you said "fine, what the hell ever" to me."

"I want to sleep, it's a lazy day. You don't need to be a 𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐜h about it" my jaw dropped as Jughead's eyes widened.

"Archie. Fix your attitude, or you will be grounded all weekend."

"Yeah, whatever." He said rolling his eyes, getting on his phone

"Fine. Your grounded, from the car, your phone, any videos games, oh and Jughead for that matter." I said taking his phone

"Mom!?" He shouted

"That's so not fair?!" He said

"You rolled your eyes at me, cursed at me, at you are being a complete jerk today, so your going to go into your room, and think about what you have done, GO." I said firmly as he went to his room and slammed the door.

"Wow Mrs. Andrews, I didn't know you had that part of you.." Jughead said

"I have no clue what's gotten into him. He was fine yesterday. He's only grounded from you for at least a hour, don't worry." I said chuckling

"He didn't sleep much last night..he didn't go to bed until 6 in the morning, he said he was fine.."

^4 hours later^

"Archie." I said walking into his room

"Yeah...?" He said sitting up

"I'm sorry for yelling at you. But what you said was very disrespectful. But Jughead told me you didn't sleep much last night. Is something bothering you?" I asked

"Everytime..I've been going to sleep this week..I've had these...dreams..and it's all just of people or myself dying...and..and the last one was about Jughead..mom.." he said tearing up

"I feel like you are stressed, with school, and what happened with Jessica that it has caused nightmares." I said

"Has Jughead been acting normal today?" He asked

"Yes, very." I said laughing

"He isn't going anywhere" I said smiling

"I'll lift your punishments. Only if you try to talk it out, instead of yelling it out." I said

"Okay..I will..thanks mom" he said as I left his room, going downstairs.

"Jughead?" I said sitting next to him on the couch

"Yeah? He said smiling

"I need you to give Archie some love today, he isn't feeling himself. He has been having bad dreams. And when it comes to time for bed..please make sure he sleeps alright" I asked

"Of course, I'll do my best" he said smiling as he walked upstairs into Archie's room.

"Jarchie is always going to stick." I whispered smiling
