What happened?!

8. In their underwear on your muse’s doorstep.       [ @betterthanforsythe ]

Between the three of them; (Brooke, Nina and Emma)– Brooke was well past the point of no return when they pulled into the parking lot of the Crescent Palms motel. It was Brooke’s turn to do a dare and so far, everyone seemed to be playing it safe. But at some point, Nina was going to throw them all a curve ball. 

She would have preferred to have gotten Emma this round, just to force their pollyanna princess out of her shell. But, perhaps next time. For now, all eyes were on Brooke as she took the last sip of the flask she brought with her. No one seemed to notice that lately, Brooke had been going through a downward spiral. She felt like a shitty person and thus, gave up on the idea of being good. What was the point? When recent actions have just proven that some people never change? Even those who have made the effort but still ended up failing. 

“Ok, I’m ready.” Brooke turned to her friends. Emma gave her a questionable look, like she was concerned Brooke might fall over or pass out any minute. And, she was right. There was a chance of that because Brooke was wasted. “What are we doing here, anyway?” Emma cut in. The Crescent Palms were one of the cheaper motels. Only the poor could afford to book a room here. But, that was the point. And Nina knew that a certain classmate of theirs was tucked away behind lucky door number 8. Jughead Jones. The thing about Nina was, she knew everything. She was like a redheaded fly on the wall. She bugged people’s phones and blackmailed them like it was nothing. But, for Jughead, she didn’t spy on him. She just so happened to be driving past one night in the backseat of some other Lacrosse player’s car (Not Tyler O’Neill’s, her boyfriend) when she spotted little Jughead heading up the steps of the motel. She had her fling for the night follow him and they watched him glance over his shoulder before disappearing behind door number 8. What he was doing there. she didn’t know. But, Nina was taking a wild guess and in the process testing out a theory with the help of Brooke during an odd spin on the classic ‘truth or dare’ game. 

“Hmm,” Nina purred, as her eyes crept over the empty parking lot. “I dare you to strip down to just your thong and knock on door number 8.” Behind Brooke and Nina in the front seat, Emma gasped. “What? No. Brooke, don’t do it.” As if on cue, Nina rolled her eyes and gestured for Emma to zip it. “Zip it. You barely did your last dare and according to the score, Brooke and I are tied. But, if she does this one, she wins. So, what do you say, B? Are you in or are you out?” Brooke glanced at the motel and then back at her friends. Nina was challenging her to do it and Brooke didn’t want to chicken out. At the same time, Emma was right in thinking she should pass. This location wasn’t exactly safe. And what if a pervert, or criminal was behind the door in question? Would Brooke even have time to get away? If she ran, fast enough, probably. “Fine, whatever. It’s not like I have anything to lose anyway.” Brooke unbuckled her seatbelt and started to shed off her layers. Including, her shirt, skirt, bra and shoes. The rules were; she could only leave on her underwear. Thankfully, she had two arms to cross over and guard her chest. “Seriously Brooke, don’t do this. It’s dangerous,” Emma whispered when Nina turned away to return a quick text to Tyler. “I’ll be fine, Ems. Relax.” 

Emma could tell that something was off with Brooke. And she didn’t want to break girl code by reaching out to Jake but if anyone could bring her back from the brink, it was their favorite (and sometimes, not so favorite) jokester. 

TEXT TO JAKE F:  3923 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd. Come now. It’s about Brooke.

sent from Emma D. 

“Wish me luck,” Brooke winked as she sprinted out of the car and up the cold metal steps to lucky door number 8. She knocked in a pattern of three and stood there for a moment, while peering over her shoulder to ensure her friends didn’t leave her there. The air was chilly and caused goosebumps to rise on her skin. Meanwhile, in the car, Nina closed her text conversation with Tyler and snapped a pic of Brooke after zooming in. “Nina, what are you doing?” Emma scolded. “Erase that!” Nina simply ignored Emma and locked her phone before tucking it away for safe keeping. “Relax, it’s photo proof. I’m not going to send it.” At least, not yet. 

“Come on, come on,” Brooke muttered as her teeth started chattering. Just as she was about to give up and run away, the door opened and Brooke’s eyes widened. She recognized Jughead because her boyfriend Jake, constantly terrorized him at school. “Wha��� What are you doing here?” Brooke gasped, tightening her arms around herself. She heard the car start behind her and watched the lights flicker on. This was the moment, Brooke needed to leave. Which, she did. But not before Jughead managed to utter the words; “What happened?!” which she could only suspect he meant; what happened to her clothes. “Nevermind, gotta go!” Brooke took off, trying to slip back inside the car before another one pulled up. “Go, go, go!” Brooke screamed as Nina switched gears and took off, leaving Brooke to struggle putting her clothes back on the whole ride home.

roadtrip

@betterthanforsythe, @gingvrstallion, @callmekevink, @bettysjournals * tagged in the order of reply

What should have been a weekend in the Hamptons turned out to be a trip to the desert. Ronnie must have misread the directions she had printed off online. Seeing as they couldn’t use gps’s to get to where they needed to go (on account of not wanting to be found), Veronica resorted to the old-fashioned way of doing things; with a map. Which somehow landed her and the rest of the gang into an abandoned part of Indiana at a place called Clifty Falls where there was nothing but trees and dirt and wildlife. “No... wait.. wrong turn. This can’t be right. Are you sure we were heading North?”

♥, ؟, ≠

Send me a ♥ for one thing my muse likes about yours.

Hands down, his satirical humor. His cynicism suits him and is very flattering on him in particular. There’s more to Jughead than what naturally meets the eye and I think Ronnie appreciates that and finds interest in it. He’s very different in comparison to others she’s met throughout the course of her young life.

Send me a ؟ for a random thought my muse has about yours. 

How often does he shower? (hahahaha!)

Send me a ≠ for something my muse would never say to your muse.

That she finds him a little guilty. Veronica can’t call him out on anything because she doesn’t necessarily have any proof. It’s not that she thinks he’s capable of murder or anything but he’s the only one in their close-knit group of friends who she knows the littlest about and he doesn’t offer much personal insight on himself so she suspects there must be a reason. Or he might be hiding something that he doesn’t want others to know. Dun dun dun.... ;p

@betterthanforsythe

It was hard to tell just how much time had passed between their game of truth or dare and now. The days seemed to blur together. One dreary night after the next. What helped Brooke get by was her trusty, rose gold flask embroidered with her initials; ‘BCM’. (A gift passed down from her mother Monica, who picked it up on one of her many trips out to Paris.) What was in it, was also her mother’s kryptonite; premium vodka. A long standing favorite in the Maddox household. Rarely, did it ever go to waste. 

“Look B, there goes the brown-noser who snuck a peek at your lemonade,” Nina smirked. Their friends all glanced in Jughead’s direction and Brooke instinctively nudged her friend under the table. No one knew about the events of that night. And if Brooke could help it, no one ever would. Including Jake, who would flip a lid if he ever found out. He was already on edge because of the unknowing details with Tyler, that he didn’t need to suspect her of even worse deeds. Not that he’d ever believe she’d hook up with someone like Jughead. It was just that, Nina had a way of making even the dullest details sound so incredibly juicy. “Ha ha,” Brooke mock laughed, while leaning against Jake for support at their table in the quad. “She’s joking,” Brooke then assured them all while squeezing Jake’s thigh. If it weren’t for her keeping him distracted, Jake would do what he always did and terrorize the poor guy. Thankfully, the boys didn’t stick around long enough either to wreck havoc seeing as they each needed to get to practice before Coach laid them all out to dry. Brooke and Riley should have gone with them, -- or rather, Riley still did, while Brooke stayed behind and promised to catch up. 

“You enjoy riling them up too much,” Brooke chastised, once all that was left was herself, Nina and Emma again. “Oh please,” Nina scoffed, waving Brooke off with a lax gesture of ‘ignorance is bliss.’ “Jake would thank me if he had enough brains to buy himself a clue. I’m simply setting him up to redeem himself. That fight with Tyler at Noel’s was just pathetic.” Brooke gulped at the mention. No matter how hard she tried to forget about it, someone was always there to remind her of what had happened. “Which reminds me, B, you were there. What the hell happened? Tyler refuses to give up the deets. Probably expects me to work for them.” All eyes were on Brooke as she shifted anxiously in her seat. “Honestly, I don’t know. We were all wasted. The details are kind of a blur.” She was lying. But neither Emma nor Nina would know that. Only Jake could spot Brooke’s tells. “Well whatever. Point is, that, sleazy Fitzgerald needs to earn back his balls. And if you think, he’s not going to try then I’ve got news for you, -- yeah right.” A laugh escaped her as Nina rose to her feet and dismissed herself with a blown kiss to Emma and Brooke. “I should get going too,” Emma spoke up. “I promised my mom we’d talk. But, I��ll call you later?” Instead of responding, Brooke pursed her lips and gave Emma the nod. 

Now alone, Brooke knew she should have headed off to cheer practice. Yet, she decided to skip. Again. Which, she was sure  wouldn’t go over well with their captain  but right now she just didn’t care. What was surprising, even to her though, was that instead of simply leaving campus to go shopping, Brooke ripped the bandaid off and walked over to a lonesome Jughead, typing away ferociously on the laptop he was constantly glued to. “About the other night, “ she started up, “You didn’t tell anyone you saw me right?” 

[thebicurioushalf]

What happened?!

Send me “What happened?!” to find out what state your muse found mine in.

10. Completely lost

“If I knew that do you think I’d be calling you right now?” She asked, a bitter and irritated tone in her voice. “Look, I was driving. Just wanted to drive. Then my damn car ran out of gas and --- I don’t know where the hell I am. It’s dark. It’s cold and I can’t go anywhere.” Out of anger she kicked her car tire hard, letting out a groan at the pain that shot up her leg. “FUCK.” Taking a moment to calm down, she slumped down on the gravel next to her car and sighed, hanging her head between her legs. “I don’t know.. I know you don’t have a car but like.. I don’t know. I don’t know why I called you --- you can’t exactly help me..” She sighed again, her eyes looking up at the sky. “Jesus, Jug, I’m so lost right now..”
