"Touch me again, and I'll break that hand"

I pulled my hand back from Sweet Pea's,
Scowling at his signature smirk.
"Come on baby, you know you don't want this"

He sounded strung out.
On who knows what,
There was no telling where he had been that night before picking me up,
No telling who he was with.
But that was a normal thing for Sweet Pea.

He was constantly missing in action,
Showing back up into my life whenever he pleased.
And now was about time it stopped.
Gwen Mattingly was a lot of things,
A drunk, a petty theif, a liar, a rough gang member.
But she wasn't a toy.

"Go home Sweet Pea. You're not wanted here"
And for the first time, in the 13 years I've known Sweet Pea.
His smirk dropped.
"This is because you're transferring to Riverdale next week isn't it? I knew that Jughead was a bad idea. He convinced you to switch schools to help him and what happens. I get dumped. No, that's fucking bullshit."

I laughed,
Of course he'd blame everyone but himself.
"This isn't about Jughead, Sweet Pea! This is about you!"
I turned quickly,
My face up in his.
I could smell the alcohol on his breath.

Oh this would be fun.
He's drunk too.
"What about me Huh? What's so fucking bad about me?! Us?!"

"You're fucking crazy! That's what! You sit here, and treat me however it is you feel like. You show up at random. Sweet Pea, i can't. Wont do this anymore."

He bit his lip,
Pushing his hair out if his face quickly.
"Fine. Whatever. But if I ever see that jughead guy, he better hope I'm in a hell of a lot better mood then I am now"
That's what hit a nerve.
This is one this he should know more then anything.
You don't threaten someone I care about.

"If you lay a hand on Jughead, I will end you. In so many unspeakable ways. And if you know me at all, you know that is a promise"

He scoffed, and went to grab my arm again, when i jerked and landed a punch right in the center of his face.
My fist ached after the impact,
But I couldn't help but grin.
Much like every other time I had gotten into a fight,
The rush that hit me after the first punch.
That was always the best one.

Sweet Pea was on the ground,
Holding his nose.
Full of shock that I finally hit him.
Seeing him on the ground,
Bleeding,
Whinning.
It made me laugh,
Finally he felt some of the pain I've been through.
And that's when the evil Idea filled my brain.

It wasn't until I heard the slight crunch and the scream leave his lips that I realized I was crushing his hand.
"I told you i'd break that hand."
