When Crossing The Tracks-Sweet Pea

20

People gathered around SSH, reporters, locals, watching the young Serpents protest "Uh oh" I said, looking over my shoulder and Betty turned around too, watching Archie and some Bulldogs make their way towards us, towards the 8 Serpents and cutting the chains down. I sighed, watching Sweet Pea pass by him, bumping his shoulder into Archie's, giving him a death glare, the chains falling from his body. I left from underneath the umbrella Betty was holding, walking up to Sweet Pea, letting him wrap his arms around my waist, hiding his face in my neck "I'm sorry" I said, rubbing his back "Lila" I heard and I looked up to Archie who gave me a look of disappointment "You can't be serious" he said, pulling me away from Sweet Pea "Don't fucking touch her, you piece of shit" Sweet Pea growled, stepping in front of me "Lila I'm not letting you get subdued by someone like him" Archie said, ignoring the tall Serpent in front of him "Archie, don't" I said "Leave now or I'll make you" Sweet Pea said "Lila, you're coming with me" Archie said, grabbing my arm again "Hey!" Sweet Pea yelled, pushing Archie backwards "Don't touch me" Archie warned "Or what, red?" Sweet Pea asked, getting into his face "Lay off, South Side rat" one of the Bulldogs said "Don't even think about it, wiener dog" Fangs said, backing Sweet Pea up "Get out Andrews" Sweet Pea warned "Or what?" Archie pushed "You don't want to know. And don't go near her ever again" Sweet Pea said "You're not good for her, face it" Archie said "Archie!" I yelled, pushing in between him and Sweet Pea "What? Why are you defending him? Them" he said "Because it's the right thing" I said and he scoffed "Fine, side with them" he said "Just....drop it, Archie" I said, pushing Sweet Pea backwards "I better not see you around here again Andrews, stay on the North Side!" Sweet Pea yelled at him "Sweet Pea, stop, it's over" I said, gripping his shirt "You're gonna regret this, Lila. He's not worth is" I heard Archie and next thing I know Sweet Pea punched Archie "No!" I yelled, trying to get to him but the Swepents beat me to it, a huge fight breaking out in a matter of seconds "Hey! Hey!" FP yelled, breaking up the fight with the help of 3 other Serpents his age "Enough!" he screamed pushing Sweet Pea away from Archie "I'm gonna say this only once red, get your ass out of here" FP threatened Archie and he left with the other Bulldogs "Relax Sweet Pea" Jughead said, putting a hand on his shoulder "I said okay" Sweet Pea growled and I sighed.

"This is it" Sweet Pea said as he parked his bike in front of a trailer in the foresty part of Sunnyside Trailer Park. He helped me get off and pushed his wet hair backwards, looking at me nervously "Here" he said, opening the door and letting me in first "Whoa....it's clean" I said, looking around. It looked decent "It's a dump" he said, shutting the door and kicking off his boots "No it's not, it's your home" I said "Sorry it's nothing impressive but..." he said "Hey, stop" I chuckled, cupping his cheeks and pulling him down for a kiss "You're freezing cold, you should take a warm shower" I said "Have one with me" he smirked, taking off his leather jacket and I just chuckled, squealing when he lifted me up, making me wrap my legs around his waist and walking me to the small bathroom. After taking a burning hot shower, he handed me some of his clothes and we got cozy on the couch, watching TV while the rain poured outside "This is nice. I never knew you're a big softie on the inside" I said, snuggling into his chest "Neither did I...but if you tell anyone I might have to kill you" he said and I laughed, looking up at him "Would you really? Hurt me like that" I pouted and he smirked "C'mere" he said, pulling me on top of him and rearranging the blanket "Archie was right, you're way to good for me" he said, brushing my hair to one side "Sweets" I pleaded "But I'm fucking selfish and you're my girl" he said and I smiled "Say it again" I bit my lip "My girl" he smirked, kissing my lips.
