gangsta - riverdale sweet pea

4

"tell me more tell me more!" toni sang jumping on the bed.

"like does he have a car" fangs squeaked jokingly in a girly voice.

we all laughed, even sweet pea as he kicked his fellow serpent off the bed. he fell back, rolling us all of the bed with him. we all hit the floor with a thud, me landing on my stomach. shit.

"ah fuck" i moaned, holding my stomach.

"what, what's up?!" jughead asked.

i gulped, everyone's eyes on mine. i rolled my eyes and lifted up the vest, showing off the blue and purple marks covering the whole of my stomach.

"we need to go to a doctor" jughead said, staring at my stomach.

"no, i know that they're only bruises, they don't even hurt unless i touch them. let's just leave it"

they shared worried glances but went with what i'd said.

"come on my dad wants to see you anyway" jughead said urgently.

i nodded and hugged all of the guys.

"thanks guys, you've been so nice to me despite our differences, i hope it can stay this way" i smiled, splitting the cut on my lip slightly.

"of course" fangs agreed.

"yeah always ally" toni said.

"anytime" sweet pea stated, sending a look my way.

i nodded and rushed out to jughead's bike, hopping on the back and speeding off to sunny side trailer park.

we rushed in and i was greeted by fp at the door who looked beyond upset. he pulled me into a bone crushing hug, which pained my stomach but i didn't mind. it made me feel loved.

"how are you honey? come on i'll take you to the hospital just in case" he rambled.

"no i'm fine just bruised a bit. thank you so much for letting me stay. you've been more like a dad to me in the last few years than martin will ever be" i sniffled, hugging him tightly.

"sure thing, you mean a lot to me, you've been there for juggie when nobody else has" he said pulling off jugs hat and ruffling his hair, making us all chuckle.

"hey ally, you take my bed i'll sleep on the couch" fp offered but i declined straight away.

"no please, it's your bed and after what happened i don't really want to be in a bed" i trailed off, hoping he got the picture.

"okay sure, i'm sorry darling" he said patting my shoulder and going back to his room.

"are you sure you don't want to take my bed?" jughead asked, "i insist"

"no please, i insist. i think it's too soon, could i sleep on your floor though? just so i know that someone is there?" i asked, my cheeks flushing in embarrassment.

"hey don't be embarrassed, of course you can. hey i've had an idea. we could sleep on the sofas and watch films like we did when we were younger?" he smiled.

"sure that would be really nice" i added.

i ended up sleeping the best i had for a long time, knowing that nobody would be screaming in my face to make breakfast or clean the whole house before school.

i was even woken up to the beautiful smell of bacon and eggs, fluttering my eyes open to see jug and fp sat on the table, a space left for me.

"morning darling" fp smiled, pulling a chair up for me which i quickly accepted.

i stared down at the food, which was gorgeous compared to the soggy toast i would make for myself on a morning. i can't lie, i am a terrible cook.

we all tucked in and i was stuffed.

"hey i'm off to meet betty, archie and veronica. you coming?" he asked.

"yeah sure, i'll just wear what i wore last night" i cringed, but giggled too.

"i'll lend you a hoodie though, to cover your neck if you'd like?"

i nodded sadly and went to get changed.

——————————————

"hey ally, woah what's happened to your face?" archie asked worriedly.

"she-" jug started.

"-fell off his bike, i convinced him to let me try. i failed though like usual" i giggled. "i'm glad it was me that got hurt though, if it was your motorcycle i'd have a scary bill"

everyone chuckled and we all tucked into our milkshakes. the strawberry stung my lips but the taste made up for it, cooling my throat down as it trickled down my tongue.

"so what have you been up to?" ronnie asked nicely.

"just stayed at jugs, he introduced me to the serpents and they're actually really nice" i said, unfazed by their nervous shifting as i took a gulp of shake.

"i'm meeting them later, you wanna come?" jug asked.

"sure" i answered.

"well actually i was going to ask if you wanted to come to mine tonight, with the rest of the guys" archie asked me and jug, motioning to the rest of the girls.

they stared intently, awaiting my answer.

"i better go with jug, he did ask first and i'm staying with him for a few days" i glanced over at him and he gave me an approving nod.

"why?" betty asked, nervous that a girl was staying with her boyfriend.

"it's nothing like that it's just that-" i started, beginning to ramble nervously.

"we just wanted it to be like old times. and my dad wanted to see her" he smiled over at betty, holding her hand.

"and also" i gulped, just wanting to let it out.

"these are not from falling off a bike, martin hit me and my mum and he" i bit my lip nervously.

jug just nodded, patting my shoulder.

"he tried to rape me basically, i got away luckily. and escaped with a few bruises. it's okay really it was kinda my fault because i didn't clean up after my mom, i usually do i was just late that day" i blurted, in a hushed tone to keep anyone from listening.

"alana that is not okay, and do not blame yourself okay? i'm very glad you told us, and don't worry i promise on behalf of all of us that we will not, tell anyone" veronica noted, grabbing my hand.

i nodded and the rest of the guys just looked at me.

"we are going to mine right now and going on a shopping spree, just us girls. and i am buying you a whole new wardrobe, so you don't have to go back there" she added.

"no i can't do that-" i argued.

"i insist"

something everyone seemed to be doing around me now.
