Guilty { Sweet Pea! X!FemReader}

2| Phone Call

Ella gently moved over New York's streets. As she and Christan stepped around the corner the family sign of women standing in the cold, with bare legs, high heels, and short dresses were waiting to be picked up, by a man, to take care of them for the night out. They all nodded their head at each other.

Everyone knew Ella and Chrisitan.

Everyone knew, who was dealing drugs.

Everyone knew that that person wasn't the one that wasn't joking around when it came to working.

That person, being none other than Ella Sweet Jones.

For a 21-year-old girl, that was a lot of responsibility, that was laid on such a young girl, that Ella was. But at the same time, it wasn't the first time that Ella had taken such a spot in a gang, or to say a town. Ella had back in Riverdale worked for her father, and for the Mantle.

Thanks to some donations by the Mantle, Ella had made herself known, not the passion way. Mostly for being rustless when it came to people as themself, and for only caring for those, who teathed her, like a queen. That meant, there weren't many people that were close to her, and neither was she just letting people into her life.

" Ella, dear!" one of the older women, that was head of the brothel in the town yelled out, as she and Christan were passing by the entering door. As she stepped close to Ella, the smelled of an old woman and, of old money. Dressed up in her finest clothes, while wearing a cold neckless, it showed the most, that he liked Ella. Was making it big.

" Marie, how is business?" Ella asked, smiling at her old neighbor.

" Going great, thanks to your tip of letting the girl's on the corner of your house" Maria, thank Ella, as they had spoken a few days before, where Ella had offered Maria's girls to move a little more freely around the neighborhood.

" Anytime, let me know if there is anything that I can do for you or your girls?" Maria nodded her head, letting the two teens walk away from the brothel.

The night would be a long one. The police being called two times on them, Ella and Christan would run, lucky not being to catch. Both of them end up at the brothel with Maria by their side, breathing in for a long night on the run.

" I hate this fucking town" Ella cursed under her breath, as she looked at Christan, that was excused to say none the least. His eyes were already closed, and he looked relaxed on the chair that he was sitting in. Meanwhile, he was sleeping Ella started to count the money that they had collaged that night, flicking between the notes, she counted at least 5000$, which made her smile, more for the collating. 

" My dear, what will happen, if you get caught by the police one day?" Maria asked, Ella, as she placed a cup of tea in front of her.

" I don't know, but I or Christan have nothing left for us, anyways else. I need the money, to get enough for us, to get an apartment in Riverdale" Ella said, moving some of her hair away from her eyes, which were almost closed for being so tried that she was.

" How much do you need?"

" At least 25000$ more," Ella said, looking at Maria that suddenly smiled creepily at her, suddenly standing up, walking to the backroom of the brothel.

Ella heard as the bank box, was opened, with a key, the sound of metal missing each other, made Ella almost nervous about what Maria was getting, and to her surprise, Maria returned with a few banknotes, hanging the key back around her neck.

Maria looked one more time, before laying the amount of money on the table, Ella was confused looking at her, as Maria started to smile at her again.

" Take them, you need them more than I do. You have done more than you know for me or this place. So this is the least that I can do for you both."

" I can't take this money," Ella said.

" You have to, and you will!" Maria snapped, smacking her hand on top of the money, which also woke Christan from his sleep. Ella felt herself getting more relieved, as she placed her hand on top of Maria, thanking her with the touch of her hand.

Maria smiled at her, gently touching Ella's cheek, as she looked behind her to see one of the girls that were working in the house. " Hold on, sweetheart," Maria said, looking back at Ella one more time " you can stay the night in my office," Maria said, before walking out of the room, closing it behind her.

Unsure what to do, Ella looked at Christan to see, that he already was asleep again in the big chair by the window, soon Ella was laying on the table, with her leather jacket around her back. Looking at the lamp over the table, the only thing that caught her mind, was the words, that Sweet Pea had left in her heart.

: " I love you, Ella. I don't hate you":

" I love you too, Sweet Pea Jones" Ella mumbled before closing her eyes, falling into sleep.

The next morning, the two teens awoke to another day, but this time, in a big office, with the scent of an elder woman. Ella opened her eyes, to see Christan already sitting in the chair, looking at his phone.

" Goodmorning, sleepyhead" Christian said, not even looking up from his phone.

" Give me your phone!" Ella snapped, seeing that he had his phone in his hand, Christan confused handed her, his phone. With a few taps on the phone, she calls a number.

" This is The Pembrooke, what can I do for you today," an elderly voice said, on the phone line, that reminded Ella of her grandfather, that had died when she was a young girl. Before singing into her mind again, Ella felt herself shake, returning to reality

" Yes, hello. My name is Ella Sweet Jones, I'm interested in one of your apartments in Riverdale, if that is possible?" Ella said, with her legs dangling over the table.

" Of course mam! What kind would you be interested in?"

" One with two beds, and two bathrooms, please"

" Alright, that can be arranged, when will we be receiving you?"

" Tonight, around 12 am," Ella said, hearing the person on the other end, tapping on, what sounded like a computer.

" Alright, I'll see you tonight!" he said, right afterward, Ella hung up. 

" One more call," Ella said, taping another phone number in.

" Hello?" a sweet woman's voice said, though the call, made Ella smile even more that she was on top of her getting the apartment.

" Hello, it is me. Ella, I wanted to tell, you that, I'm coming to town tonight. I hope you all will be there"

" Oh, Ella! Of course, we will. Reggie is talking about you a lot these days, and my husband too, so of course, we will! Where?"

" The Pembrooke, but we can meet at Pops? We will be in town around 12 am, it is a bit late"

" We will be there! don't worry"
