After Archie walked Clara home she went straight to her room and went to sleep not planning on attending the open house the Lodges were having.

Archie watched her fall onto her bed with a sad look knowing her past was coming back haunt her. Sighing, he started making his way to Jugheads trailer so he could tell him Betty wanted to break up with him.

When he got there he paced back and forth outside debating on how he should tell his best friend that Betty didn't want to see him anymore even though she did and the only reason she was making him do it was because the black hood threatened Jughead if she didn't break it off.

So here Archie was finally getting the nerve to go up to the front door but it opened before he could even get onto the first step

"Archie" He said confused as to why he was there

"We gotta talk Jug" Archie said quickly and Jughead walked up to him shaking his head.

"Now is really not a good time ok? You need to leave" Jughead put his hands on Archies shoulder his eyes glancing behind Archie every few seconds.

"What the hell do we have here?" Sweetpea asked before Archie could ask Jug why he wanted him to leave.

"He's just leaving alright" Jug said trying to calm down the group of Serpents.

"Wait you're friends with these thugs?" Archie asked with narrowed eyes

"It's not what you think"

"Are you joining the Serpents?" Jughead gave Archie a look almost begging him to leave it alone

"If he survives, and go ahead and call us thugs one more time" Sweetpea took a threatening step forward until Jughead stopped him

"Jughead these are the guys who attacked me, who attacked Reggie and Veronica and Delton your friends" Archie yelled

"Is that why you're here? To warn me?" Jughead asked

"No, I came here to tell you to stay away from Betty she doesn't wanna see you anymore." Archie could almost see Jugheads heart break as the words left his mouth.

"Screw you I just saw Betty yesterday she was fine" Jug looked more confused as he finished his sentence wondering if Betty was actually ok

"No she's been wanting to break up with you for weeks, she's been agonizing over it. Since you crossed the dark side she couldn't bring herself to do it" Archie lied through his teeth and it was killing him

"So she sent you?" Jughead asked with glazed eyes "Betty would never do that!"

"If you don't believe me then call her! And feel free to tell her you're a Serpent now I'm sure she'll love that. Oh and while we're at it Clara doesn't need you around anymore, I can protect her myself" At the girls name Fangs eyes quickly shot up

"Did something happen to her?" Jug asked angrily

"Yeah Logan tried to kill her. No big deal though" Archie said sarcastically before he sent Jug and the group of Serpents one last glare before he left to go to Pops

Fangs filled with worry at the sentence his eyes meeting Sweetpeas who gave him a questioning look before they both looked to Jughead

"You enjoy the show?!" Jug yelled and Sweetpea crossed his arms over his chest with a smirk

"Show hasn't even started yet"

"Jughead you almost ready?" Toni asked walking over to him and he looked down at her

"Will I ever be ready? I have to call someone first" Jug said and Toni nodded taking a step back so she was next to Fangs.

"Hello?" Jughead sighed when he heard Claras voice it didn't sound like her she sounded defeated and over life itself
