This chapter is gonna be a little long because I wrote a good script since I kept working hard and I just keep thinking about what should I do in the next scene. This episode is very serious and my apology about this chapter is because of the inspired song "Medicine" by Daughter. The song is really sad and the best song. It's also the song from Five Feet Apart. Enjoy the chapter.

Another week later, Bobby still taking care of Laura after mourning the death of Tim. He grabs the blanket and covers on her on the couch before Justin came to the house and he walks over to Laura and checking to see if she is ok.

Bobby: Take care of my mom. *looks at Justin*

Justin: *looks at him and nods*

Bobby: *he went to Laura's car and drives to Riverdale High while he saw Sean and Beth in the parking and he gets out of the car*

Beth: Hey.

Sean: *waves to him*

Bobby: *walks to them*

Sean: How's your mom doing?

Bobby: She's fine. I'm just protecting her all week since she wouldn't calm down.

Beth: I'm sorry. Whenever happens out in Greendale. They won't let them go. It just getting back on the tracks.

Hope: *Walks over to Sean* Hey.

Sean: Hey.

Hope: Yesterday, Dr. Saltzman went wild in the bar and he kept drinking. I went to the boarding school and he was supposed to be here.

Sean: First of all, I've never met him yet but he is a professional right?

Hope: Sometimes.

*At the Lounge*

Veronica: We only have two weeks until the summertime. I wish I could have had a party. Drug party.

Archie: Ronnie, are you crazy?

Veronica: Archikins, my parents will go away from the business trip tonight.

Archie: What is gonna happen for the next day when you had a mess?

Veronica: I'll clean it up.

Betty: Well, have fun. Cause I ain't definitely going to the party. *stands up and walks away*

Archie: V? Let her go.

*At Blue and Gold*

Betty: Veronica is going to throw at a party at her house and she wants me to go.

Jughead: One time, I was drinking. My father was a lot drunk. Anyways, I feel bad for Bobby's father. It's been two weeks from now. Over the summer, we can bring the gathering to hang out or go on vacation.

Betty: So that's how to plan what they taking to, Jug?

Jughead: Yes. And includes Sweetwater River.

Betty: Ready for the senior year?

Jughead: And we can go separate ways.

Betty: *hearing*

*after school*

Lydia: *on the phone with Vanessa* You're right. You're right. We have to keep studying for the final exam before school it's out.

Vanessa: I think I'll skip it for a little while. Which means I had a higher grade.

Lydia: You kidding me? I don't want you to bury with the lower graders. Eventually, I just hope you come outside and run to my house. Just kidding. How is it feel that we're going out to the fox forest tonight?

Vanessa: I can't. I have to go to Veronica's party and get crunk it. No shit. I should be staying up all night.

Lydia: Luis is a reckless guy as I ever met before. Girl, I should of beat his ass.

Vanessa: You know Michelle's cousin.

Lydia: I know. Acting like he wants to be me. What kind of nonsense?

Vanessa: You should back off from him. Come to the party and we'll explain about everything the exams. *hangs up with her phone*

Bobby: *kisses her cheek next to her on his bed* What is she saying?

Vanessa: Same shit. It makes me feel crazy.

Bobby: *smoking with Jingle Jangle*

Vanessa: *chilling and turning around to him* Did you tell Archie that you were going to give him his music box?

Bobby: Not yet. Still working on it. I have to do what I got to do. This is for my dad to the graduation while we get outta here. Someone giving me a test.

Vanessa: *smiles a bit* Why is that?

Bobby: I'm really hungry.

Vanessa: Tonight, we have some perfect ways to go.

Bobby: In my attention, I don't even mind where you taking me at. *looks into her eyes*

Vanessa: You are so fucking lucky. *kisses him*

Bobby: *kisses her back*

*later in that night*

*At Pembrooke*

Bobby: *chilling at the rooftop high alone and feeling his chill and looks all the way down through the edge*

Veronica: *comes outside and sees him* What the hell are you doing? Get away from there.

Bobby: *sees her*

Veronica: I knew that was you. *walks over to him and holds him* How's your life going?

Bobby: Pretty much.

Veronica: Look, we are right here for you. Ain't no one fucks with you, all of my people are caring about you. It just makes my type go away. I don't want to be fooling around and attacked by the people behind. Or even punch Reggie once. Did you go to the mall yesterday?

Bobby: Nope. I have to think about what did I get some sneakers from.

Veronica: Archie giving me a second chance to buy better gifts. Not some wrecked or corny shoes. Drugs can give you a treat with a big mouth. Well as my father opened up La Bon Nuit. I really tricked.

Bobby: So you say, you don't own this place?

Veronica: Maybe or maybe not.

Bobby: Take care of your things about your mother.

Veronica: I can honestly say, will you stop talking about that right now, and let's get this party started. *walks back inside with him*

*Meanwhile*

Veronica: *holding the pills bag* Party time!

Bobby: *holding the Jingle Jangle bag* Wooo!!!

All: *cheering*

*5 minutes later*

Reggie: *smokes Jingle Jangle with Kevin* So, how's your love connection with Fangs?

Kevin: To be honest, we've been going through a hard time. We didn't fight that much. I'm just kicking right on it.

Reggie: Exchange for 25 cents.

Kevin: *shakes his head*

Reggie: I would not be bothered but I need real money.

Cheryl and Toni are dancing.

CJ: *watching them dancing while taking a pill and drinks*

Mario: *playing spin the bottle with Sean and Beth*

Beth: Ok so, take two pills and put them in the bottle, and pour some energy drink.

Mario: Energy drink? This is ain't a damn Red Bull or Gatorade.

Beth: Just taste the pills you son of a bitch.

Mario: *sighs and takes it and drinks* Oh....my...

Sean: Uh-huh! Uh-huh *nods with Beth* How do you think you feeling?

Mario: Let's do this shit again.

Bobby: *sits next with Michelle and Zurich*

Veronica: *sits next with Carter and Archie and puts some of the Jingle Jangle* Who goes first?

Zurich: Get that shit outta here. I already have enough.

Bobby: Come on Z, you know you better than this.

Zurich: So.

Bobby: So, jingle-jangle is for the better ways.

Archie: Bobby, you don't know anything about Serpents. Serpents are doing drugs all the time.

Bobby: New Kid on the Block probably did.

Veronica: Who goes first?

Bobby: I will. *smokes*

Bobby: This is for my dad anyway.

*Meanwhile*

Romeo: I'm her friend from a classmate.

Betty and Jughead: *hearing knocking*

Betty: *opens the door* Romeo, what are you doing here? I thought you were going to the party.

Romeo: I changed my mind. My brother already went. What are you guys doing?

Jughead: Working more suspects.

Romeo: I just heard another death around the corner from the other night.

Jughead: We got it right here.

Bobby, Carter, and Zurich: *drugged*

Zurich: Ohh yesss...

Carter: *looks around and watches Michelle dancing with Phoebe*

Lydia: *walks over to Bobby, Carter, and Zurich* Guys, have you seen Alfie?

Bobby: I don't know where he is...

Lydia: *walks around and sees Reggie* Have you seen Alfie?

Reggie: He's in Veronica's room with someone.

Lydia: *walks to the room and hearing moaning and opens the door and she caught Alfie having sex with Beth*

Beth and Alfie: *shocked*

Alfie: Lydia! Babe! *gets up and walks out to the room and looks at Lydia* I'm sorry.

Lydia: *shocked and looks around at them*

Beth: *walks out too and breathing* Lydia...

Veronica: *looks at them*

Alfie: I love you so much. I'm sorry. *tearing*

Michelle, Kevin, and CJ: *looks at Lydia*

*Meanwhile*

Betty: Welcome back, Chic. Mom, I have to go out and get some more food tomorrow and we can make sort everything out for the dinner tomorrow night. You, me, Chic, Polly, including Jughead and Mr. Jones. I was wondering that I can use your card so I won't be wasting all of your money.

*The next day*

*Riverdale*

*Greendale*

*At Lydia's house*

Lydia: *keep thinking about what happened last night while walking around her room*

*flashback*

Lydia: *after she drugged and she looking for Alfie before she caught Alfie having sex with Beth and before she hugs Alfie after she tries to go crazy*

*flashback ends*

Lydia: *turning to breakdown and crying and thinks about she wants some more medicine after she drugged to the party and tries to breathe*

*At Smith's house*

Carter: *sitting on the stairs and watching Julie and Harold heated argument*

*At Mason's house*

Alfie: *looking at the windows and sees Vanessa from behind*

Vanessa: I don't get it. Why do you think that you having sex with Beth?

Alfie: It wasn't like that, V. The drugs making me go possession. What could happen next to Lydia? Being normal?

Vanessa: We should stop taking those drugs. We are all cool though.

Alfie: Veronica gives us one reason is to take those drugs for one party.

Vanessa: I know right. I don't want you to die. Cause you're my brother.

*later in that night*

Lydia sneaks out of the house and shuts the door quietly and she gets in her family's car and drives to Tyrell's house and parked it.

Tyrell and Luis: *sees someone's car*

Tyrell: *walks over to the car and gets in the front* Oh, Lydia. Lydia, Lydia, Lydia. Did you have a great night?

Lydia: Not...really.

Tyrell: If you don't feel good, if you feel hot, we have an air conditioner in my house cause Luis is about to leave soon. How's the party from the other night?

Lydia: It was ok.

Tyrell: Ok? Do you ever watch Scarface?

Lydia: Not exactly. I need some help.

Tyrell: What kind of help?

Lydia: Medicine. So I can taste some healthy and I can make it feel better. Today, I don't feel well. I don't have any medicine stuff. I need it now real quick.

Tyrell: I have a lot of medicine. You can take it to scoop and you go right ahead back home. How's that sound? I don't want you to go crazy.

Lydia: *nods*

Tyrell: *gets out of the car with Lydia and heading inside*

Luis: *blows the cigarette and heads back inside*

*2 days later*

Lydia's dad: YOU ARE HER BOYFRIEND! IT'S BEEN OVER 36 HOURS!

Alfie: Nobody is heard from her. My girl is missing. You left her alone most of the time the entire time. Remember, you guys were taking pictures from us?

Lydia's mom: Look, we've made mistakes.

Alfie: Acting like she doesn't even exist, isn't it a mistake. All the dances...birthdays, and honor roll. She told me her story!

Lydia's mom: You know all this talking and tearing, you are shaking like a leaf. Do you need some water, Alfie?

Alfie: I'm fine. Thank you.

Lydia's mom: Oh my god, you just so much look like your father right now.

Alfie: This is none of your business.

Lydia's dad: Doesn't he? *looks at Lydia's mom*

Lydia's mom: He could hold his shit either. *smiles and laughs a bit* We're calling the police. One time to find her, the other to have you arrested for whatever you're in possession of.

Alfie: I'll find her. Just give me a couple of hours.

Lydia's dad: Clock's ticking.

Alfie: *leaving*

*10 minutes later*

Alfie goes to Spencer's house and he knocking the door.

Bobby: *opens the door* What's up, superstar?

Alfie: Have you seen Lydia?

Bobby: I still don't see her. I already called her a few times.

Alfie: Come with me.

Bobby: Why?

Alfie: Her parents warning me that either I'm still looking for Lydia for the next few hours, I can go to jail.

Bobby: *looks down and sighs* Damn...fine, I'm with you.

*5 minutes later*

Alfie driving to Tyrell's house.

Bobby: You wanna go in?

Alfie: I'm...not sure. I can see her parent's car.

Bobby: Don't be a wimp. Alright?

Alfie: Look, I love you, bro. But, these cats are heavy as fuck. They got strapped last time and came through. Look, I'm sorry bro. *watching Bobby gets out of the car and drive away*

Bobby: *watching him leave* Shit! *quietly and prepared to save Lydia*

Bobby went inside Tyrell's house while he holds the door slowly as he looks around and saw stereo speakers and food white foams while he listens to the loud hip-hop music. He walked slowly while she kept searching for Lydia and hear moaning. He goes to the room and sees Lydia on the bed moving while opening the door when he saw Tyrell was having sex while she was drugged.

Tyrell: *moaning*

Lydia: *doesn't respond while her eyes was opened*

Bobby: LYDIA!

Bobby never saw Luis was in there and he pulls out the gun and points to Bobby's head at the wall quickly.

Bobby: *grunts and breathing heavily*

Tyrell: *laughs and gets out the bed*

Lydia: That's Bobby...Bobby...Bobby...we love you Bobby...*smiles softly while drugged and goes crazy*

Tyrell: *laughs while pulls his pants up and picks up the smoke and gun*

Bobby: *breathing and looks at her drugged* You piece of shit!

Luis: *hits him with the gun at his face*

Bobby: *grunts and falls to the floor*

Tyrell: OG Bobby Bob! Triple OG! Are you mad son?

Bobby: Lydia...who did this to you?

Tyrell: Who? Come on Bobby. A lot. Just...look around.

Luis: Pop this little bitch! Put him and Lydia on the Benz. And set those idiots on fire.

Tyrell: I mean I kinda regret. Lydia is a sweet kid.

Bobby: My friend just made a mistake. They were. She knows that.

Tyrell: Why is this dude always mistaking for messing around. But that was no mistake. That was our choice.

Luis: It was a mistake you running and trying to save her ass like Jughead Jones some shit!

Tyrell: It took the pain away. Which, I did.

Luis: This is ain't no movie punk.

Bobby: Y'all destroy her.

Tyrell: Come on, Bobby! Look, don't high road me son. But I do a shit for living.

Luis: She already has a lot of missed calls. For all of sudden, she crying like a little bitch. *laughs*

Tyrell: *laughs*

Bobby: *looks at Tyrell and sees Alfie's grandmother's necklace on Tyrell's chest* Asshole! *tries to stand up*

Tyrell: Woahhh!!! *pulls out the gun too and points at Bobby's head* OG! Triple OG huh? Hard Bobby! Hard Bobby!

Bobby: *grunts and screaming while tearing*

Tyrell: Alligator tears? God damn it! You are good! *pulls away with his gun* Ok.

Bobby: That's my friend's grandmother's necklace.

Tyrell: Yeah, World War II all that bullshit. Look, Bobby. This is only a matter of time before you saw her right? At least now you want a...*looks at the necklace* you know what it is. You know what I've heard. All of your friends are going to separate ways for the college. *laughs and shrugs* So, I lie about everything. Either way, I drove Lydia away. Since she wants to go home after she takes some medicine when I keep her for a while longer. So save your tears. Well, except for her in one point. *looks at Bobby and nods to Luis*

Luis: *grabs him up and points the gun at him still*

Bobby: No, no, no! Noo!!! You can't kill us! You can't kill us ok?!

Tyrell: *smoking*

Bobby: Her parents are called the cops and they'll be all over this place!

Tyrell: Kill you? What the hell do you think it is? Bobby, this is ain't some lame Netflix shit that you binged. Here's what you gonna do.

Luis: *pulls away*

Tyrell: *opens the sneakers box and handle the stacks of bags and throws to Bobby*

Bobby: *catches it*

Tyrell: Consignment. See I don't give a shit how do you break down how much you used it. But, if you stop it out too much, you won't give it returned to the customers.

Bobby: I-I don't have any customers.

Tyrell: 25 stacks in my hands. By two weeks. I'm the new party supplies star. *paddled his head twice* You know when I'm working, you know I live, and you know what I do. If I get hinged, you're going down with me white boy. *points to Bobby and paddled his head once again and looks back to Lydia* Come on, sweetie. It's time to go home. Your ride is here.

Bobby: Come on, Lydia. *picks her up*

Lydia: Bobby...

Bobby: *holds Lydia while walks away slowly*

Tyrell: Bye Bobby. *quietly*

*Rooftop High*

Bobby: *goes outside with Lydia and pushed her away* Off! Off.

Veronica: What the hell are you doing?

Phoebe: Lydia, what's wrong? *checking on her with Michelle*

Bobby: Tell her. TELL HER! *looks at Lydia*

Zurich: Dude!

Bobby: She's been stuck in Luther's friend for two days! I was the one who put the gun in my head is because of that Lydia got all drug addicts to those bitches!

Michelle: Oh god.

Lydia: I forgave you because you are my family.

Zurich: We are family.

Phoebe: Come down, please!

Romeo: Lydia, yo...please just get down. You scared the shit out all of us.

Vanessa: Listen to me, just come down please and we can walk away. Just follow my lead. Ready? Are you ready? You can take my hand. *raises her hand slowly to Lydia*

Phoebe: *holding tears next to Romeo and Zurich*

Veronica: Just come down and we're figuring this out together ok?

Lydia: *talking herself* You could still be, what you want to. What you said you were...when I met you. *looks at Alfie*

Alfie: Lydia, please don't do this ok? Look, Veronica made mistakes. It was an accident. But, the truth is...you're the true hero. I love you.

Lydia: Same. *looks at Alfie*
