------------------------------------------

With everything going on between the Serpents, the Lodges, and the Andrews', I've been very on-edge and anxious. It's like I have to watch my every move, constantly having to make sure I'm not doing or saying anything that could make the situation worse for anyone. As things have been heating up, my anxiety has been getting worse. I've started getting panic attacks, mainly from the constant worrying about everyone and everything happening.

Right now, I'm at home talking to my dad in the kitchen and Archie walks in the house.

"Archie?" Our dad calls out.

"Yeah?" Archie says as he walks into the kitchen.

"Would you mind walking your sister to Pop's?" Dad asks.

"Dad, I'm fine. I can walk alone. I'll be walking to school and around town alone when Archie goes to college," I say, trying to let my dad let me walk alone.

"She's right, dad. And besides, I'm going somewhere with Ronnie," Archie says.

"Your sister is more important than your girlfriend," Dad says, with a stern tone.

"Dad. It's fine. I can walk by myself. Trust me," I say.

"I trust you. I just don't trust what Riverdale has turned into," Dad reasons.

"I'll be safe. I'll even be on the phone with you, or Archie, Betty, Jug, whoever will help you feel comfortable with me walking alone," I say.

"Fine, dad. I'll walk her to Pop's," Archie sighs.

"Thank you," Dad says.

I grab my bag before walking out of the house with Archie. We walk until the house is out of sight.

"Go to Veronica. I can walk from here, I'll be fine," I say.

"You sure?" Archie asks.

"Mhm. Go to your girlfriend."

"Y/n."

"I'll be fine Archie. Go."

Archie hesitated before walking in the other direction towards the Pembrooke. I continued my walk to Pop's.

On the way, I bumped into a Serpent. He whipped towards me and gave me the nastiest look.

"Watch it, Northsider," He seethed.

"I'm sorry," I say softly.

The Serpent rolled his eyes and I walked away. I keep my eyes forward watching where I'm going but also being careful as to what I do look at. I feel like I'm being watched but I power through and make it to Pop's.

I say hi to Pop Tate and go straight into the bathroom because I feel a panic attack coming on. I settle on the floor in the bathroom and take a few deep breaths. It's not helping so I decide to call Archie. It rings but goes unanswered. I call again but straight to voicemail. I text him, begging for him to answer, but he doesn't. I don't know who else to call. My heart rate increases and my breathing becomes shallow. I click a random contact and it's answered within the first ring.

"Y/n?" A voice I have come to enjoy and find comfort in answers.

"Jug..." I start but stop and take deep breaths.

"Y/n? What's going on? Are you okay?"

"I-..." I take deep breaths, "I need you. Archie won't answer and-"
