Destined

Chapter Thirty Four

{Jugheads POV}

   Everyone was on edge. Worried about their brother. Fangs has been apart of our family for many years now, and has always proved to be loyal. And now, he lay in a hospital bed fighting for his life.

   The bar was steadily emptying, many people heading home. Sweet Pea and Veronica had left for the hospital a few hours ago, still no news. Betty was currently with Jellybean, trying to keep her as distracted from all of this as possible.

   I was sat at the bar, tapping my fingers as I stared at a bottle of vodka on the other side. I knew that drinking wouldn't help my situation, but all I wanted was to feel that burning sensation going down my throat. It may not help my situation, but it'll help me to feel better.

   "Jughead...?" A sadly familiar voice said beside me. With a sigh I turned to be met with her eyes. My mothers eyes. She looked like she always does, though she seemed thinner.

   "What do you want?" I asked before reaching over the counter and grabbing that damn bottle. As I poured myself a shot I could almost hear her disapproval.

   "Are...... are you okay?" She asked nervously. I downed the shot and immediately began to pour another one.

   "Well. I'm currently waiting to hear whether a member of my family is alive or not. How do you think I'm doing? Not to mention I'm having to look at and speak to you right now" I pointed out, swallowing the second shot whole. I could see the pain in her eyes as she tried to find the words to say. "Is there something you need?"

   "I just.. I wanted to see how you were doing... Jughead, I want to make things right between us...." she whispered, tears filling her eyes. I'd be lying if I said my stomach didn't drop when she said that to me, but I'd also be lying if I said I didn't hate this woman.

   "Mother. I am the king of the Southside Serpents. I've been on my own for a long time now. You left, and dad went to prison. So I need you to hear me when I tell you this..." I trailed off, pushing myself to my feet. I stood inches away from her, my eyes boring into hers. "I want nothing to do with you. I allow you to be here, so I can see my sister. You waited too long to attempt to fix anything. So the problem with you wanting to fix anything, is that I hate you." I stated harshly. Tears were streaming down her cheeks as she stared at me in fear.

   "Jughead, please...." she begged.

   "You should have left, mother. I don't want you here" I stated before turning on my heels and headed towards my room. Betty was still with Jellybean as I made my way up the stairs. Once I was finally in the quiet of me room, my anger turned into sadness. All I want is for Fangs to be okay, and to find out who did this to him so I can kill them. And I will kill them.

   I plopped down on my desk chair and buried my face in my hands. The room was silent besides my breathing. That is, until the floor creaked from behind me. I turned, expecting to be met with Betty's eyes. Really anyone's eyes besides the pair that stared at me now. She was older, more grown into her features. Her black hair curly, nearly reaching her waist. Her eyes were surrounded by jet black eyelashes. She wore dark, form fitting clothing, along with a Serpent jacket.

   "What, cat got your tongue?" She smirked. Her voice caused my heart to stop. "I don't remember you being so speechless" she said as she began walking closer.

   "Evelyn" I breathed, standing to my feet. She continued walking closer to me, her eyes looking me up and down. "What are you doing here?" I asked, my breathing fast and shaky.

   "You mean you're not happy to see me?!" She exclaimed with a joking pout as she grew closer and closer to me. My heart rate quickened as I stared at her.

   "It's been 5 years, Evelyn. Why are you here? And how did you get that jacket?" I asked. Her chuckled filled my ears. My blood began boiling as she grew closer to me.

   "Aweee, you've been counting!" She cooed, her voice like sandpaper in my ears. "I have my connections, Jughead. It was easy to get a jacket. Don't I like hot?" She asked. She was centimeters away from my face now. My blood was boiling, my sadness turning back into anger and now rage. I could tell those two shots of vodka were getting to me. Without thinking I gripped the collar of the jacket and pushed her back against a wall. "Someone's gotten more feisty" she smiled.

   "Why are here!?" I growled, rage radiating off of me. But Evelyn knew me, and she wasn't scared. As I wasn't holding her very tight, she pushed me away from her, her smile turning into an angered frown.

   "So I don't get a hello, and you shove me against a wall??" She whined. "Poor manners, Jug"

   "Stop stalling, why are you here Evelyn?" I asked, again. Her eyes glazed over with happiness as she smiled.

   "Would you believe me if I said I was here for you?" She asked.

   "Evelyn" I warned. She let out an exaggerated groan as she once again stepped closer to me, her heels loud. "Why. Are. You. Here?" She was inches away from me again, she began circling me, her fingers tracing my shoulders, back and ending on my chest.

   "That's for me to know, and for you to dot, dot, dot...." she whispered, tapping my chest as she said dot. She chuckled like a school girl, covering her mouth as she gazed into my eyes. I was about to say something when, the door opened. My heart stopped as my eyes met Betty's. She just stood in the doorway with furrowed eyebrows as she looked at me and Evelyn.

   "What's going on here?" She asked, anger glazing over her eyes. With one last small chuckle, Evelyn turned around to be faced with Betty.

   "It'll be fun getting to know you" Evelyn said, an evil smile on her face as she walked past Betty and out of the room. My heart rate quickened even more as Betty's eyes snapped to mine. The hurt on her face made me want to break into a million pieces.

   "Care you explain?" She asked, closing the door behind her.

   How do I tell the woman I love that she just saw me with the girl I used to love?

Hey guys!!!!

I'm back!!!!!!!! FINALLY here's a new chapter!!!

So, I know Evelyn is supposed to be modeled a little after Betty, though no one knows what she looks like. But I just thought her being the dark, bad girl would fit more!! Right now I have her modeled after Nina Dobrevs character, Katherine Pierce from The Vampire Diaries as of right now. But if anyone has any suggestions as to who I should model her after, please tell me!!

Also! If you've watched Vampire Diaries you'll notice a little line I used in this chapter!! TVD is my all time favorite show, with Riverdale as my second:)

Thank you all for being so patient with me!! I will be trying to update a lot more frequently again!!!
