Serpent Blood | Sweetpea (discontinued)

Chapter Seven

I put his phone down to where he had recently placed it.

"Hey, princess. I'm meeting Jughead later is that okay?" He asks coming into the room.

"Yeah that's o-okay" I reply not turning to face him.

"Are you okay?  You look a bit pale" he comes over and cups my face examining it.

"I'm okay. I thought you never liked Jughead?" I reply pulling my face away stopping myself from stuttering. When I stutter I lie and he knows it.

"I do like Jughead, after all, he's a serpent"

"Can I Come?" I try to make him uncover the truth to me.

"Boys night" he smiles.

"Well, Maybe I'll talk to Archie. See if he wants to talk to me. Maybe explain" his eyes widen.

"No, no don't message him" he worries.

"Why not?" I cross my arms.

"Uh because you just can't" he tries to explain himself, not very well.

"You got problem with this?" I look at him.

"Look, please don't" he comes up and holds my arms. Not tight or hurting me but in a caring gesture.

"What? Just a little serpent v bulldogs?" I say and pull myself away from him.

"How do you know about that? Did Jughead tell you?" He asks slightly angry but not shouting.

"Oh come on, Sweetpea. When were you and Jughead ever friends? Exchanging looks. I new something was up" I shout back.

"I didn't want you getting hurt, Sophia!"

"I get that but I don't understand why I couldn't have been told!" I shout again.

"Just meet him! I don't care. Meet whoever you want just tell if your going to do something!"

"I done it to protect you!"

"I don't need your bloody protection! I can protect myself! I never needed Archie's, I never needed Jughead's and I don't need yours!" I shout making him stiffen.

"Fine then. I'm going to see Jughead" he calmly spoke and left.

I realise I have nowhere to go. I've been living with Sweetpea so far. Where do I go if I leave?

I lie on the bed sobbing into a pillow. I have nowhere to go and I don't feel like having any company. I love Toni but I need time to myself.

I cry to the pillow for however long. I hear a key coming in the door so I shoot up and run to the bathroom, not wanting him to notice my tears. I hear him shut the door as I lock the bathroom door.

He doesn't say anything to me all he does is go into the bedroom. I hear Sweetpea muttier 'pick up, come on, Sophia. Answer, please' he must think I've left, thinking I wasn't here.

My phone starts ringing and he whispers 'damn it' thinking, again, I've left my phone here.

Suddenly I hear him speak.
