"Please, Ronnie. Please just stay."

"I will."

I was crying. Archie pulled me into a hug.

"Okay so if we're gonna stop Hiram, we have to do it now."

"We can't release these tapes yet. I have someone I can ask though."

"Who?"

"Mom. What is the next price of land that daddy is trying to buy again?"

"The White wrym and sunnyside trailer park. Why mija?"

"I just didn't remember."

"Okay."
——————-
"So my mother told me that daddy is trying to buy the wrym and the trailer park. So I can use the million dollars to buy them before he does!"

"Ronnie! You're a genius!"

Cheryl hugged me.

"Let's go!"

We ran to the white wyrm with the money.

"Hogeye! Have you sold the bar yet?"

"No."

"We need to buy it!"

"Okay good! I don't trust him."

"Mayor McCoy! Do you still own Sunnyside?"

"Yes, why?"

"We're gonna end it. All of it."

She smiled. She hated him so much and so did I.

We were walking at home. Cheryl and Sweet Pea were walking in front of us. It was just Archie and me.

"Archie...I'm sorry."

"What for?"

"Breaking up with you. I just did it to protect you. I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I would do the same thing."

I smiled. I love you, Archie Andrews.

The 4 of us. Got to my trailer. There was a box on my steps.

"What is that?"

"Idk."

I took the box inside. Archie pushed me aside and opened it.

"What is it?"

" a tape?"

"Let's listen."

Archie hit play.

"Hello, Ronnie. This is Nick. I think after what your boyfriend did to me, you deserve some pain."

Then I heard it. He recorded it. Cheryl and Sweet Pea's faces drop when they heard it.

"Daddy can't save you now."

I was screaming.

"NICK STOP PLEASE."

I screamed again and again.

"You gonna regret it all. You're my slave! You do what I said! When I want sex I get it."

"NICK PLEASE STOP! YOUR DRUNK STOP!"

He slapped me. I screamed.

"Shut up!"

We heard him ram into me. I screamed for the millionth time. All of a sudden Archie turned off. He saw I was having a panic attack.

"Ronnie, it's okay he can't hurt you anymore

"Ronnie, it's okay he can't hurt you anymore."

He kissed me again.

"You're great at stopping panic attacks"

We both laughed. Then he pulled me into him to hold him. I soon fell asleep.
-Archie-
I carried Ronnie to her bed.

"You two watch her. I'll be back."
