Prologue:

Dante Parker was not having a good year. His father and he moved to a small city called Riverdale. He was forced to start a new school which was not a pleasant experience, but he did manage to make one friend. A red haired boy named Jason Blossom. Right now he was waiting for Jason in Pop's Diner. He was sitting at his usual seat, the last seat one below the Diner sign, right now all he could do was wait while listening to the song 'ST4LK3R' on his earphones.

It didn't take long for his friend to finally arrive at the Diner. He was wearing the varsity jacket he usually wears. He looked around a bit to finally find Dante. It wasn't a very hard task, Dante always wore the color black and had a hood on his head which really made him easy to recognize.

"Hey." the hooded boy with dirty blond hair said.

"Hey, Dante." His red-haired friend said in return. Then he sat on the table, but Dante noticed that he looked a little tense.

"Are you Ok?" He asked. Dante couldn't help but notice that he looked tired.

"No, I'm not," Jason responded to his friend. "Ok. I'm leaving Riverdale."

"What the hell you mean?" Dante asked in confusion.

Jason then stayed quiet for bit. Dante could tell that something happened and Jason was worried about something.

"Polly is pregnant." That was all that Jason said.

"Oh shit." Dante knew that they were having problems because their parents were against their relationship. "What are you going to do?"

"Come walk with me," Jason said to him,tilting his head to the door.

The two friend stood up and made their way to the door. After walking outside, Jason pointed toward his car. Dante opened the door and entered into the passenger seat. Jason entered shortly after, starting the car and pulling out of the lot. The street was pretty empty with almost no car passing through them. The day was pretty cloudy but it didn't look like there was gonna be rain.

It's quiet until Dante breaks the silence. "Where are we going?"

"Nowhere, I just feel more comfortable here."

"Jason, what exactly are you planning?"

Jason sighs. "How long have we known each other?"

"A year, I guess." Dante met Jason the same month he started to study at River High School. "I was sitting alone in the football field with my guitar at night and you were there with Polly."

"You never told what were you doing in there."

"Waiting, I couldn't sleep and it was quiet out there." Dante answered. "Then you guys invited me to go to Pop's and somehow we were friends after that."

"Hey, you have to thank Polly for that. I thought you were a weirdo like Jughead Jones." Jason smirked. "But you turned out to be a cool guy."

"Hey, Jughead ain't so bad either. Do you know what happened to him?" Dante haven't seen him in a while

"From what I heard, his dad was fired from the Andrews Construction and started to drink a lot, so his mom took him and his sister to go live with their grandparents," Jason explained. "Speaking of which, aren't you a part-timer there?"

"Yeah, but It's only temporary. Mr. A is a good boss. Did you know his son?"

"Yeah, his name is Archie. He went to live with his mother in Chicago after his parents split up."

"I see.

A short but unfortunately silence started.

So what's your plan?" Dante decided to asked.

"Look, my sister is going to help so don't worry."

"Cmon Jason, there must be something you need my help with, otherwise you wouldn't have told me about it."

"Ok. I need to get my car to the other side of the Sweetwater River."

"Done, Just tell me when."

"Dante, man, you don't have to do that."

"I want to. You and Polly are literally my only friends, so I wanna help you guys escape."

"Thank you." Jason smiled. "Can ask you another favor?"

"Sure."

"Can you watch over my sister, while I'm gone?"

"Ummmm... I don't know. Your sister is not exactly easy to deal with." Dante grimaced. "Remember when you went to hang out with me instead of her?"

Once Jason wanted to go see a film with Dante instead of Cheryl and she became very angry and followed both of them to the Twilight Drive-In and tossed soda into Dante's head. Jason and her started a full blown argument with Cheryl yelling a lot. It really annoyed Dante because he couldn't listen to the film.

"Yeah I remember, Forget I said anything."

"Does anyone else know about your plan to run away. Besides me and your sister?" Dante asked.

"Well, besides you and Cheryl, no one. But Polly might tell her sister."

"Ok."

The two remained quiet for the rest of the ride.

Jason decided to drop Dante off at home. When the two finally arrived, Dante moved to get out, but he stopped when he had a sudden thought.

"Hey J?"

Jason turned to look at his friend. "Yeah?"

"Call me when it's time."

Jason nodded before saying, "I'll leave the car in school tomorrow, the keys will be in the glove compartment. I'll leave a map with the spot that I need the car to be."

"Got it," Dante affirmed. "I'm gonna miss you buddy."

"C'mon, this won't be the last time we see each other. I want you there when my son or daughter is born because you gonna be their godfather."

"It would be an honor."

"See you, buddy." Jason smiled before leaning over to hug Dante. They pulled back and Dante exited the car before shutting the door. "I'll contact you as soon as I can. Don't forget, it has to be tomorrow on July 4th."

"I got it, you can count on me," Dante said before turning around and walking toward his home.

Though Dante will look back at that day forever. The last day he saw Jason Blossom alive.
