Maniac

S I X

Sweet Pea made his way to his trailer, tears blurring is eyesight, the way his heart burned, it was weird, feeling this way..

He got off his motorcycle slowly walking into the trailer and throwing his bag down, he left most of his stuff here, knowing this would happen.

"You're a Southsider, a fucking Serpent you can't live with Northsiders snake, it just doesn't work like that." Reggie fucking Mantle was right, of course.

He opened his fridge taking out a bottle of vodka he had saved for Toni's birthday, he wasn't thinking right now, he opened it and took a swing, so tried of everything, everyone.

Sweet Pea sat on his couch, drinking all night, drowning himself in the bottle, this would hurt in the morning. 

--

Sweet Pea woke up to knocks at his trailer door he groaned picking up the bottle it was probably Toni or Fangs maybe both.

He opened the door while taking the last drink of the bottle, anything to make this headache stop.

Lily's eyes snap open at her soon, she moved her kids, "Guys go wait in the car." The voice mad Sweet Pea open his eyes fully.

His vision still blurry, "I'm going to be sick." He mumbled speed walking into his bathroom dropping to his knee's and throwing up in the toilet.

He heard his mom walk in, "Ah." Sweet Pea chuckled holding up the now empty bottle, "Fuck, Lily can you get me a beer or something out of the fridge?" 

Lily didn't understand, he seemed so tough so unable to break, yet here he was sitting on the floor holding up and empty bottle of vodka asking for more.

"Wait no beer isn't hard enough, I'm going to the Wyrm." Sweet Pea stood up and Lily moved slightly, Sweet Pea opened his medicine cabinet taking out Combination pills and Advil.

Lily raised her eyebrows, "You can't take Combination pills for a headache." She mumbled trying to take the bottle away, he just jerking it back.

"That's funny, cuz that's what I'm about to do." Sweet Pea opened the bottle and took out 2 shoving them down his throat turning on the water faucet and putting his head under it.

"You live like an animal." Lily said worried for his health and safety, "Why are you even here?" Sweet Pea asked ignoring her last remark.

"You kicked me out I left, we don't talk like before, I can get laid every night again, life goes back to normal, so what. The. Hell. Do. YOU. want?" Sweet Pea growled.

"I- You- C'mon-" Lily was lost for words making Sweet Pea chuckle. "Tsk tsk, times up, get out." Sweet Pea said moving away from her picking up the bottle and flushing the toilet.

He moved past his so called mother and out of the trailer, he threw the bottle onto the ground, the glass shattering into a million pieces.

He liked doing this, seeing the glass break, the way it can kill, could kill him, the way it breaks with barley a touch.

Lily was watching her son, in a daze from the breaking glass, she was worried, worried he might do something to hurt himself.

--

It had been a week since anyone checked on Sweet Pea, almost all of his friends though he was still with his mom.

Once they found out he wasn't their hearts stopped, they called Lily and James begging them to come with them.

They did all of them getting to Sweet Pea's trailer almost at the same time, they knocked first a groan coming from inside of the trailer, "Go away." The voice mumbled.

They all heard the bottles clinking, Fangs and Jughead broke down the door, Sweet Pea turned over to face away from the sunlight.

"You broke my fucking door." Sweet Pea half groaned half growled.

He still didn't look over, but they all scanned the room, there was a 3 pizza boxes one half empty, the beer bottles surrounding the area.

"Sweet Pea man get up..." Fangs said walking closer to the shaking boy, Sweet Pea was tangled in his own limbs, going through withdraw of something, he was obvious.

Then it hit Fangs the JJ, Sweet Pea was going through a drug withdraw, that means he took it after the time he told Fangs after he got kicked out.

Fangs looked back at the group knowingly, he walked over to them and started to whisper, "He's going through a drug withdrawal, JJ to be exact.." Fangs mumbled.

They all got cut off by a loud groan coming from the couch, "AH!" Sweet Pea growled gripping his stomach, his whole body shooting up in pain, "FUCK, I need s-something, sh-shit I-I'll pay you back j-just go-go get me like t-two pa-packs, please." Sweet Pea groaned again head shooting back.

Lily looked terrified so did James, Toni, Fangs, Jughead, Veronica and Sweet Pea himself, just a different reason.

"Fangs?" Sweet Pea asked looking over, "Fangs fuck man." Sweet Pea said trying to grab the shorter boy, he miscalculated missing the boys arm by a long shot.

Fangs sighed and walked closer to Fangs and crouching closer to Sweet Pea, "I'm not okay man, I'm-I'm struggling." Sweet Pea whispered, he shivered, goosebumps all over him.

Toni saw that and went to the bedroom grabbing two blankets and throwing them on Sweet Pea, "Topaz, guys?" He asked his gaze finally looking around the room.

He looked tired, drained, he feel asleep shortly after no one replying to his half question.

--

It was a day later they made him drink water half asleep, when he woke up he looked around, everyone was there but James.

Sweet Pea groaned the pain throughout his body hitting him like a train, "S-Sweets?" He heard Veronica's soft voice.

Sweet Pea smiled and tried to find the girl, his vision still highly blurred, "Veronica?" He asked trying to sit up, to look less vulnerable.

"Hey calm down, your okay.." Veronica said patting his shoulder, he visibly shuddered at her touch, she removed her hand quickly, "Sorry.." She mumbled.

He shook his head and reached out gripping her hand, "Don't be." Sweet Pea mumbled pull her down and kissing her.

Almost everyone here was asleep, that was a good thing for these two.
