Hush

17

The next morning when I woke up Scarlett was getting ready singing very loudly. I groaned and rolled over.

"Oh sorry Cam. Did I wake you up?" She asked. I smiled and sat up. She was holding some of my makeup in her hands.

"No. No you're good. But is that makeup Scar?" I asked while rubbing my eyes. She then got a guilty look on her face and stuttered on her words. "Is there a boy?" I asked. Her cheeks became very pink. I got up and sat on the edge of my bed and faced her. "First of all, you don't need makeup to impress a boy. And second, you are 10, you don't need to be wearing makeup." I said and ripped it out of her hands.

"Then why do you always put so much on?" She asked.

"Well, I'm 17. And it makes me feel good about myself. I do it for me." I explained. She nodded. "So tell me about this boy?" I asked. She just giggled and ran out of the room. I chuckled and shook my head.

I got up and went into the living room. Finn and Sweet Pea were both sitting on the couch watching TV. Scarlett had made her way and squeezed in between the 2 of them.

"Good morning Mill." Sweet Pea said when he finally saw me. I smiled and sat in the chair across from them.

"Good morning Sweet Pea." I said. He shot a smile back. I watched as Scarlett snuggled up close to him. It made my heart gush.

"Hey Sawyer is coming over soon Mills." Finn said. I nodded. "So if you could go get ready please?" He suggested. 

Since we were going to Archie's today I brought some of my clothes from Mom's. So I wore a pair of black tights with black polka dots. A mustard yellow long sleeved baby doll dress. My gold hoops. A pair of black Chelsea boots. And then I slipped my serpent jacket on top. 

When I walked out there was a knock on the door. I quickly answered, it was Sawyer.

"Hi Sawyer! Come in!" I said letting her in. When she saw Finn she lit up. It was so cute.

"We're going to your friends house later? Right? I just wanted to make sure I'm wearing something okay for the Northside. Like something I'd wear to school." She explained.

"You look great Sawyer. My friends will love you no matter what." Finn said taking her hands. She smiled so wide. "But I guess we should get going to Archie's." Finn suggested.

"Yes of course! Sweet Pea lets go babe." I said. He nodded and got up. We all piled into Sweet Pea's truck and drove over to Archie's. When we got to Archie's, him and Jughead were outside talking.

"Hey guys!" Archie said as we got out of the truck. I smiled and waved. Sweet Pea then helped me out of the truck. We all walked inside. Josie, Kevin, and Cheryl were all there. Sweet Pea started to get all weird and tensed up.

"Hi Josie! Oh my goodness! It's been forever!" I said giving her a hug. She hugged me back but then got all weird and tense. "Oh! Josie, this is my boyfriend Sweet Pea." I said introducing him. He grimaced and gave an awkward wave.

"I'm going to go use the restroom quickly." Sweet Pea said before walking away. I stood there talking with Josie.

"Camille! You came. I started to get a little nervous." Betty said. We all chuckled a little.

"Nope. Here I am." I said. We chuckled.

"Where's Sweet Pea? Is he out with the guys?" Veronica asked while looking around.

"No. He went to the bathroom." I explained. He then appeared back by my side. "Never mind. Here he is!" I said while holding onto his arm.

"Babe, I think I'm going to go talk to Jughead." He said before going outside with Archie and Jughead. I smiled and nodded.

"He's still a little unsure about this whole Northside thing." I said. We all went to Archie's living room and sat down and chatted for a while. After a while I realized that I haven't seen Finn and Sawyer for a while. "I'm going to go find Sawyer quick." I said while getting up.

I walked outside to the guys and found her with Finn and the guys. I smiled at her and stood next to her and Sweet Pea. It was kinda chilly out so I held my arms around me to keep warm.

"Sawyer, if you want you can come inside with me and the girls." I said. She looked back at Finn quick.

"We all were actually about to come inside." Jughead said intervening. I smiled and we all made our way in. But Jughead held me back. "Sawyer and Cheryl have a little bit of drama between them. Mostly Cheryl. So maybe just don't leave them alone." Jughead explained. I nodded before we went inside.

Everyone was now sitting around Archie's living room. It was actually kinda nice to have all my friends in one room. There weren't enough spots for everyone so I ended up sitting on Sweet Pea's lap. I don't think he was mad about that though.

The whole night I caught him and Josie making awkward eye contact and then looking away. So later I grabbed his hand and led him to the kitchen so we could talk.

"So we're you want to do this here?" He asked with a smirk and cocking his eyebrow. I rolled my eyes and playfully hit his arm.

"No Sweet Pea. I wanna know what's up with you and Josie. You guys have been so weird all night." I said while crossing my arms. He took a step closer to me and put his arms around my waist.

"Babe. It's nothing." He said. I cocked my eyebrow at him. He groaned. "Fine. We maybe hooked up a couple times before." He confessed. I took a deep breath.

"Oh. Okay. Well thank you for being honest like I asked." I said. Why am I so upset about this? Like it was before we dated. I'm not upset with him but the idea of it. Ugggghhh.

I wiggled my way out of his arms and started to walk back to the living room. But Sweet Pea caught my arm.

"Babe, stop. What's wrong?" He asked. I turned around and put a fake smile on my face.

"Nothing. I'm fine." I said. Lie. 

"Now I know that's not true Milly. Now just tell me the truth." He said. I dropped my fake smile and took a step closer to him.

"I don't know. It's just weird to think about you and Josie I guess. It's not something that's nice to hear." I explained. He pulled me in a hug.

"I know. I'm sorry babe." He said holding me tight. I felt so safe. He kissed the top of my head and my heart melted.
