gangsta - riverdale sweet pea

16

"tommy lately, i've just not been feeling right. i'm so ashamed of how we've all been treating carrie white" betty sang beautifully, her acting on point also.

it was the last dress rehearsal before the first show tonight. sweet pea and all the serpents were coming just for me and midge, and jug for betty obviously. i was really excited, and no nerves were taking over me. it was going to be a great show, with nothing going wrong so far and all the set looking perfect.

i watched as archie danced really awkwardly, but he was trying so that makes up for it. bless him.

chuck was surprisingly really good, and his tough guy act was never around when we rehearsed making our lives a whole lot easier.

we all clapped when the number finished, which happened to be my favourite purely because of betty's talent.

when rehearsal finished jug and i went back to pops, to have lunch with fp on his break.

"hey kids, how's rehearsal going?" he smiled, putting all of the food out on the table.

"good, are you coming dad?" juggie asked, his dad nodding quickly.

"of course, wouldn't miss it" he smiled.

we sat, enjoying the food and conversation. my stomach began flipping, finally feeling the nerves that i was waiting for.

"so how's the adoption process going?" i asked and he shifted in his seat.

"well the thing is, there is only two rooms in the trailer, so at the moment we're struggling" he admitted.

"okay" i put on a smile, he was trying so hard so i didn't want to look ungrateful.

"we better go anyway, gotta go set up for the show" jughead interrupted the silence, as fp cleared the plates.

"yeah sure, good luck okay ally? i'll be there" he smiled.

i started applying ghostly makeup, to make myself look human, but demonic. i put a pale foundation on and almost no bronzer and blush. only a small amount to add dimension, i also used a nude lipstick and eyeshadow.

"hey hey hey" midge came in wearing an oversized blue thing. that's all i could describe it as.

"that is awful, why does it look worse close up than on stage" she spun around, posing in the hideous costume.

"i just can't wait to put the pink dress on, and get blood poured all over me" she smiled.

"i hope i get to pull the rope" i said laughing.

"then poor archie gets hit in the head by the bucket" she said.

"it's made of polystyrene, i think he'll be fine. nobody was hurt in the making of this high school production" i said in a manly voice.

"apart from you when i stab you with the scissors" she laughed, pretending to kill me with think air.

"anyway.. how's fangsy boy?" i smiled poking her side.

"he said he'd come and see me before the show" she blushed.

"awww midgeys got a boyfriend midgeys got a boyfriend!!" i screamed jumping around the room, holding her hands.

"more like ally has a boyfriend!! you never told me about your date" she said, pretending to be offended.

"well let's just say we did more than ride a motorbike" i smirked , wiggling my eyebrows playfully.

"you had sex with sweet pea!!??" she shouted, her mouth etched into a smile.

i slapped my hand over her mouth, shutting her up, only to have her lick my hand which i rubbed all over her face.

"no! god no! we just kissed...and kissed" i winked.

"speaking of the devil" she sent me a side smirk, sending her gaze to the door.

there stood sweet pea with some red flowers, leaning against the door.

"i'll leave you two alone" she smiled nudging him on the way out.

"hey are they for me?" i awed, hand on chest.

"yeah, good luck" he said, passing me them. they were beautiful, the red daisy like flowers contrasted with the black paper they were wrapped in. i but them into the sink with a cup of water, ready to take home later.

he came over and hugged me from behind.

"i was thinking" he started, turning me around.

"would you like to be my girlfriend?" my stomach did flips as i heard the words leave his lips.

i stared for a moment, seeing midge peeps around the corner and put both thumbs up, her face beaming with happiness.

all i did was nod, a huge smile covering my face. he let out a long awaited breath and spun me around again kissing all over my face.

"i got worried you'd say no" he laughed nervously.

"never" i smiled up at him.

"right now go! go get your seat so you can watch me in this sexy costume" i giggled, putting the modest white dress over me.

"yeah... sexy" he fake smiled, cringing.

"you love it really" i laughed.

"i think i'll love you in it, even as a weird widow you look beaitiful"

"charming" i joked, pushing him out of the room.

as soon as he'd left midge tiptoed in, holding my hands and jumping around squealing.

a night we'll never forget... for many reasons.
