Chapter 15: Peter Smythes Is Back Bitches

Tuesday Night

I drove into my driveway and seen a white Mercedes. My brother has a white Mercedes?

I walked into my front entrance of my house and found my blonde 3 year older brother, Peter talking with my dad and step-mom.

"Peter?" I said. Shocked and confused. He never told me he was coming down from his University In Florida.

"Hey short stack of pancakes how ya doing?!" He said excitedly. He ruffled my hair to make it a little messy.

"Peter! Don't!" I said but he just laughed.

"It's good to know you haven't changed." He said.

"Thanks I think?" I said.

"He's staying for dinner." My father said from behind Peter.

"Really?" I asked.

"Oh I can tell you all about the business I've been doing. And Rebecca can mention her internship at the Riverdale Register." He said.

All I could think about is I have until tomorrow morning to decide whether to publish the article. I might ruin my internship and the relationship I have built with Mrs. Cooper and Betty's my best friend I can't do that to her mom.

"Why you home early?" My step-mom asked.

"It doesn't matter." I say and run upstairs into my room.

I go into my room and slam the door. Right when the door shuts my phone rings. Unknown Number.

I answer with anticipation and anxiety.

"Hello?" I say.

"Rebecca have you thought about my offer?" He said. Oh my god! It was the Black Hood.

"Yeah I have.....I'm sorry I can't do it." I said as tears were starting to form in my eyelids.

"Why not Rebecca?!" He said. Man did he sound angry.

"I-I can't do that to Alice. She's been like a mother to me. I've known her the first day I got to Riverdale and she's my best friends mom." I said.

"Who cares?" He said as if he were stating an obvious.

"Ummmm.....I do?" I said.

"Rebecca, Alice doesn't care about you. When you first got to Riverdale all she ever did was look at your family like a bunch of rich snobs. And you were the only one in your family that was nice and caring, Until Cheryl ruined it for you. Alice still sees you as a rich stuck up bitch like the rest of the world does." He said.

"So what do you want me to do?" I asked.

"Get Revenge." He said and the phone line went dead.

I heard heavy footsteps come up the stairs and my brother came crashing into my room.

"Time for Dinner little sister!" He said as he tackled me and I fell off my bed.

"Peter! My hair! Get off!" I yelled.

"Oh how much I missed your attitude." He said sarcastically.

He left the room and I got changed for Dinner quickly.

I put my hair in a high ponytail and wore a bran jacket with a red and real dress and soft brown strapped heels.

I went down the stairs just in time to here the doorbell ring.

I open it for Reggie to appear with torn up flowers.

"Reggie your 12 minutes late." I whispered to him.

"Babe it doesn't matter I'm here aren't I?" He asked and gave me daisies that were bent over like they were dead and roses that had holes in them and looked like they were eaten by caterpillars.

Reggie entered and spotted Peter right away.

"Oh hey my man Peter! Yo Peter Smythes is a back bitches!" He yelled and chest bumped Peter.

My father eyed Reggie and gave him a very disapproving stare.

"I see you'll be eating dinner with us." My father said.

"Yes Mr. Smythes." He said and bowed down trying to be funny. Why did I even invite him?

I hit Reggie's shoulder with my hand to get him to stand up from bowing down and looking like an idiot.

We all sat at the table and was served by Kate. We had Chicken Stir Fry.

"Wow. Mrs. Smythes. I Love. the. chicken. stir. fry." Reggie said with no emotion and talked like a robot.

"You haven't even tried it dear." My step-mom pointed out.

"Well if I did try it. It would be great." Reggie said with a stupid wide toothed smile.

"Reggie?" I asked.

"Yeah babe." He said.

"Quit talking." I said.

My father decided to break the silence.

"Rebecca I hear your friends won't be helping with the banquet?" He asked.

"Yeah I know it's a little last minute and-" I started but was stopped by my father.

"It's fine. We will think of a way to make the banquet still happen." He said.

"Okay." I said and nudged Reggie with my elbow to say something to break the awkwardness.

"Uhhhhhh.....so Mr. Smythes whatcha benching' nowadays?" He asked. I literally faced palmed myself when he said that. Why does my boyfriend have to be stupid and a sex machine. Not to mention short-tempered.

"What am I 'benchin'" my father asked unimpressed.

"Uhhhh...What Reggie means to say dad is by benching he means sleep. Right?" I said as I looked to Reggie.

"Yeah totally." Reggie said with a drunken smile.

"Oh Ummm...Randall I won't be home all day tomorrow." Kate said to break the silence. I don't really care what she says to be honest.

"But I thought we were going to settle then you find a job in a year or two." He said.

"I know but it gets boring being home alone all the time." She said.

"You have no idea what it's like to be alone." I mumbled as I looked down at my food. I looked up and everyone stared at me.

"Ummm...Reggie how's school?" My step-mom asked.

"Oh school sucks ass." He said and my father,step-mom and brother made a gasp.

"Reggie I don't know what you say in your household but we do not use profanity here." My father said sternly.

"Sorry sir." Reggie said.

"Hey blondie how's school going." My brother asked me.

"It's going great as usual. I am co-captain of the River Vixens again. I do mostly everything in my school. I attend church.....ummmmm dad just got me my very own sewing machine." I said.

"Wow." Peter said.

"Yeah my life is awesome." I said with a fake smile. But was it really?

We heard the doorbell ring and a knock at the door.

My father gets up to get the door and when he opened the door, Sheriff Keller and Sweet Pea were behind it.

***why did sheriff Keller show up with Sweet Pea?***

***Will she do what the black hood wants?***
