I was helping Archie set up decorations for Jugheads surprise party. I'm telling you now, he's gonna hate this. Archie's phone began to ring and he put it on speaker.
"Hey Dad. What's up?" Archie asked. "Hey Dad." I cheered in the background.
"Just checking in. I felt bad that we didn't talk more-"
"Yeah, you kinda shut me down dad." Archie sai snaking it awkward.
"Have you seen mom yet?" I asked clearing the tension.
"No we're gonna have dinner but-"
"But what?" Dad sighed. I could tell he didn't want to speak to Archie with this time and attitude.
"Be best decided that, tomorrow morning, with the lawyers-"
"Right. Cause things are so bad you can't talk without a mediator." Archie stopped. "I've gotta go dad. Bye." Archie put his phone down and headed over to Dads not so secret alcohol stash.
"Archie-"
"No (Y/N)." He shouted. "You're doing this with me. We're a team."I sat on the stairs near Ethel. I watched my brother stumble forward onto both Kevin and Joaquin for balance. Someone walked over to the front door.
"Surprise-"
"Do I look like Jughead to you?" Veronica sneered. Kevin pulled her aside.
"Have you meet Joaquin?"
"No. I haven't had the pleasure."
"Betty just texted me." I jumped off the stairs and followed Veronica and Kevin into the other room.
"I thought it was inner circle only."
"Joaquin's my boyfriend, so that makes him inner circle." I coughed.
"That doesn't make Reggie inner circle, does it?"
"No."
"They're really coming this time." Ethel said from the window. Jughead looked a little pissed when drunk Archie hugged him. "Watch him. He's you're brother."
"Oh believe me Jug. I've been watching him my whole life." I giggled grabbing another drink for Archie and swapping it with his empty cup."How many more people do you invite to this!" Jughead exclaimed.
"No one. Inner circle only." Archie reached for the door.
"Did you really think you could throw a party without inviting mwah?" Cheryl said as she opened the door.
"Or me?" Chuck smirked. I told you this was a bad idea.
"Archie. Where do you want the kegs?" Moose asked him. I noticed both him and Reggie were holding one. Yep tonight's the night.
"Screw it! One in the kitchen. One in the backyard." He said and everyone cheered. Reggie looked at me.
"Wanna show me where your backyard is princess?" Reggie smirked and I grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him in the direction to our backyard.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"I came to have fun babe." He smirked. "Why aren't you in a good mood?" He asked me placing a hand on my shoulder. Archie walked over.
"Bro, want a drink?" He shouted passing us a red solo cup each with a not so pleasing concoction.
"Hell yeah I do." Reggie said and took the cup and drunk from it. I also took a sip just so my brother would go away.
"You're the best bro." Archie said jabbing Reggie's chest with his finger numerous times. "I would do anything for you." Archie said and I took another scull of my drunk, emptying the cup.
"Archie, I think Jug wants to talk to you." I said pointing to the garage where Valerie also happened to be.
"Why don't we tell him whilst he's drunk?"
"Do you want your arse kicked?" I giggled and he kissed my forehead as Archie left. Reggie followed in suit."Listen up party people! Everyone has their secrets and we've all done our far share of sinning, that's my thing my dear brothers death has revealed. So let's play a little game to get these secrets out in the open." Cheryl shouted like she had an inbuilt megaphone in her. We all sat around our lounge room. Archie, sat on a chair near Veronica who was on the couch.
"What the hell is secret or sin?" Geez Jughead, you should go to more parties.
"It's a variation of truth or dare." Within minutes Cheryl tore apart everyone in the room. She herself was a book of secrets. Riverdale's book of secrets.
"Last, but not least. Who have I left out." Cheryl tapped her red finger nails on her chin.
"Oh yes, Andrews." She smirked. I eyes darted to Reggie. I wanted to pass out.
"Doyle already spoke about me and Miss Grundy."
"Oh I know. I was referring to Ginny Weasley." She smirked looking at me. I was expecting Archie to stand up for me like he did for Veronica and Betty. I guess I'm not that important to him. "Where do I begin with you? Sweet Little Andrews. Hmm, I know!" She clapped her hands. "Let's start with your sweet sweet caring, loveable, yet Archie's most hated person in the world, Riverdales very own captain on the bulldogs." Cheryl's blinked her eyes. "Mr Reggie Mantle." She said like she was a host of a game show.
"Cheryl." Reggie grunted at her.
"Oh sorry Reggie. Am I making you set?" She said and acted like she was wiping a tear from her eye.
"My question to you both is." She paused. "Why haven't you told anyone yet? Your conquest for love is adorable. You should write about this instead of my brothers murder, huh Jughead. Take note." Cheryl smirked about to tear everything apart. I sighed.
"Cheryl, they did tell people. They told Veronica, Kevin, Moose, Oliver, Jughead-" Chuck began. My brother looked at each of his friends.
"And mwah." Cheryl flicked her hair back. I sighed. I could feel Archie's eyes watching me rather than Reggie's. Not only was he disappointed, he was sober.
"Look Arch, I can explain."
"Explain what (Y/N)! That you've gone behind my back, lied to me for months, got with Reggie behind my back-"
"Dude. Don't yell at her like that." Reggie said running over as Archie got closer to me.
"Oh no. I shouldn't be yelling at her, it's you who should be taking the blame."
"You sexually assaulted my sister."
"Actually, that's where you're wrong Archie." I gulped.
"They're not lying." I muttered. "Reggie and I hooked up after Cheryl's party. We-we've been together ever since." I said shyly.
"You're unbelievable (Y/N). You know that right." Archie stormed off. Another fight between Jughead and Chuck started. FP had to pull them apart and brought everyone outside.
"Parties over. Go home!" He shouted to the crowd at our door step.
"Babe. He hasn't ruined what we have. We were going to have to tell him soon or later." Reggie said putting his hands on my shoulders.
"I've gotta go. Text me, please." He said pecking my lips as I shut my eyes. When I opened them again tears flooded out. Archie stood in the hallway and didn't bother to say a word.I walked downstairs to get a cup of water from the kitchen. I decided to clean up whilst I was down here.
"I keep wrecking things. Heck, I yelled at my own sister. Who does that?" Archie asked Veronica. Veronica and Archie quickly made their way upstairs. I finished my cup of water and decided to try and sleep on the couch in this messy room. Jughead entered at about 3am.
"How are you still up?" Jughead asked me as I turned my head to face him and he sat by the window ledge. I sighed.
"Is couldn't sleep a good enough excuse?" I asked him and he smiled.
"He'll get over it (Y/N). Just give him time." Jughead smiled and came over and placed his jacket over me and kissed my temple. I nodded.
"Promise me you'll wake me up when he wakes up." I asked him with sorrow.
"I promise." He said and sat on the arm chair across the room. I heard someone creep down the stair case.
"Morning Jughead." Veronica's chirpy voice said. I bet you she didn't think she'd ever say that. "So listen-"
"Don't. Don't worry. My lips are sealed." Jughead chuckled sipping on his hot drink. I spent majority of the day on that couch. Late afternoon Archie joined me as he slumped next to Vegas. He winced at the impact.
"How's your headache?" I asked assuming he had one.
"Meh. How's Reg?" He asked casually. I was taken aback by his question.
"Good." I smiled, because I knew knew he didn't really want to ask that question, and he shook his head.
"Archie! (Y/N)!" Dad shouted as he entered the door. It took longer for him to walk in than usual. Archie and I both got up. "We're home." Dad said referring to him and Mom who was standing there.
"Mom?" She both said at the same time.
"Hi Archie. Hi (Y/N)." She smiled at us. What the hell have you done Archie?
