Dear Theodore | Josie McCoy (Riverdale)

"Does this darkness have a name? This cruelty, this hatred, how did it find us? Did it steal into our lives or did we seek it out and embrace it? What happened to us that we now send our children into the world like we send young men to war, hoping for their safe return, but knowing that some would be lost along the way. When did we lose our way? Consumed by the shadows. Swallowed whole by the darkness. Does this darkness have a name? Is it your name?" - One Tree Hill

Theodore Lodge was accustomed to being the centre of attention, everything in the universe revolving around him. Growing up entitled and pretentious was the norm for the Lodge twins who had everything handed to them on a silver platter. The best education, clothes and friends that money can buy - until all of that is ripped from under them when Hiram Lodge is incarcerated for fraud and embezzlement.

It was the biggest shock of Theo's life to discover that his greatest role model and mentor was being charged with such crimes. Theo promised himself and his father that he would remain strong and protect his mother and Veronica from anyone who may do them harm.

Perhaps escaping to Riverdale was the best thing for their severed family, however, the bad things haunt the Lodge's allowing no escape, only perseverance.
