《Broken (Jughead x reader)》Part 20
Advertisement
Jug showed up that night, like he promised. I asked him about the last night at the drive-in and he told me about the movies he was gonna play.
"So how long are you gonna be there?" I asked.
"The movies'll run until the sun comes up, so I'll leave when they're over."
"And where are you going?" I was sure that he didn't really know, and that he was dreading my asking the question because he knew I'd put up a fight.
"I'll just go to a friend's house and crash on their couch for a couple of days until I really figure something out."
"Jug."
"Y/N/N." He mocked.
"Jug, seriously. I just want to make sure that you're safe. I mean, there's a killer running around town, for fuck's sake, you can't just be on the street."
"Y/N, I won't be." He smiled. "I promise." He said, kissing my forehead and then telling me to at least try to sleep. And I did.
I woke up to what is possibly one of the most depressing sights. Sheets moved around as if somebody had been there, but left too early. Yep, Jug had left before I was awake and now there was this loneliness looming over my head and I was pretty sure that it was gonna be there for a long time.
Loneliness makes you do strange things. I did something out of character when I saw that Jughead had left. I got up early. I might not sleep, but that doesn't mean I don't lay in bed until the light hits my window, contemplating life and feeling worse and worse. But this morning, I got up and left my room. Not entirely sure where I was going, I walked down the front hallway, but I didn't get far because somebody knocked on the door. There was no way I was gonna answer it, so I ducked around a corner and listened to my dad's footsteps approach the door. It was our lovely next door neighbours.

"We're sorry to come unannounced, Fred." I heard the voice of Hal Cooper. "It's been a rough couple of months for us, but Alice and I-"
"We think that Archie and Betty should stop spending time together." His wife interrupted him. Yeah, the Cooper's were fucking crazy. Betty seemed to be the only stable one (although after that night with Chuck, that was also in question). It was like Alice and Hal were so bent on proving that everyone else was crazy that they didn't realize their own family was probably the most toxic one in Riverdale. Something that tightly wound doesn't just slowly unravel; it snaps. Polly spiralling out and being put in a home was only the beginning and if oh, so perfect Mama and Papa Cooper couldn't see that, then they were in for world of surprises.
Although I couldn't really argue with them about Archie's behaviour not being exactly perfect. The reason for that being that later that day he was explaining why exactly his "girlfriend" or whatever, had a fake name and kept a gun in her car. She had a bad past and although I still didn't think that this was anything close to a good idea, Archie was not in the mood to be lectured.
"Arch, what's wrong." I asked him. When he told me about Grundy, he had this far off look on his face, like he was trying to figure something out.
"Nothing."
I raised my eyebrow at him. "Come on, Arch, I know that look all too well. Hell, you know that look. It's the one that's almost permanently stuck on my face." He still didn't talk.
"Hey, you know that even if you don't tell me, I will eventually figure it out. Twin telepathy prevents you from ever hiding anything from me."

He sighed. "Fine. I think that I know what I'm gonna do about Grundy."
"Oh. And what would that be?"
"Well, I was talking to Betty earlier and she thinks Grundy is like the devil in human form. She keeps talking about this like Grundy did something horrible to me, but she didn't and Betty just doesn't get that." He took a breath, trying not to get to angry about his best friend's behaviour. "I'm gonna break it off with Grundy. Tonight, I'm going to the school and telling her thank you for the music lessons and that I want to continue, but it's best if we remain teacher and student."
"That's awesome Arch. I mean, I know that's probably a hard thing to do, but it's the right thing. This'll be good and I'm sure that it'll look that way soon too."
