Angel's narration

The events that unfolded were the sad truth about the life of a gang member and how things can get in this world

Which is why I don't partake

Jughead ended up not getting any punishment beside being sent away with his mother where he will graduate high school

Angel stands with Cheryl and Fp as Gladys gathers her sons things and puts them into the trunk of the car, Jughead looks to Angel with a glare as he is dragged into the car

Jugheads eyes look to his father pleadingly but Fp shakes his head and walks into his trailer causing Jughead to look down, he didn't get a goodbye or a hug from his father

Just disappointment

Gladys waves to the girls and drives off feeling some closure to the heartbreak she felt from her ex husbands betrayal

Shawn and Lisa got two years due to a plea deal which is the best case scenario since a little girl will have to go without her father for crimes he chose to do of his own free will

Penny and Malachi got out a month later and as they served time for their involvement in the fatal shooting

So things can finally calm down now

Right?

Angel's POV

I sit with everyone in the auditorium as Kevin talks about the play that's later this week, thanks to some pushback with funding, the play was pushed back a few weeks

"This is our last rehearsal everyone....we've done great here and I'm excited to see our Lady Macbeth and Macbeth perform for everyone" Kevin says and everyone claps for Cheryl and I as we smile and I peck her lips

"We will all do great...just stay sharp on your lines and...everyone is dismissed" Fangs says and I smile and get up while picking Cheryl up bridal style causing her to squeal in surprise

I smile and kiss her passionately before letting her down, I hear some commotion causing me to look over and see Veronica and Archie arguing, it seems very heated which makes me immediately becomes protective

"What's that about" Cheryl asks causing me to shrug as I watch Archie shake his head and walk off causing Veronica to rub her forehead as she looks like she's about to cry

She looks over to us and we make eye contact, she smiles sadly at me before retreating out of the auditorium

"That's weird" I say before grabbing Cheryl's hand and leading her out of the school
