gangsta - riverdale sweet pea

18

i ended up fainting, waking up in the trailer. the whole gang was there, even archie, betty and veronica.

i sat up and took one look at fangs, his head hung low and tear stained cheeks and i knew that none of it was a dream. looking down at my clothing i saw midges blood painting my dress. tears started pouring from my eyes, as i panicked seeing the blood my breathing hitched and i knew that a panic attack was coming along.

"juggie help me, why is this happening" i breathed heavily, each breath getting shorter and shorter.

the sight of midges crimson blood sent me crazy. i stood up and tried pulling the damn thing off but it wouldn't budge.

"hey everyone get out for a second please we need air" jug asked, politely and they all left. except fangs him and sweet pea.

"come here" sweet pea said. he pulled some scissors out of the drawer, and made his way over.

my hand was on my chest as it rose and fell violently, "the blood" i cried over and over.

he cut down the back of the dress and it fell to the floor, along with me despite only have on a strapless bra and underwear. i curled up on the floor, only to be followed by sweet pea who scooped me into his arms and rocked me backwards and forwards soothingly.

"is she dead?" i asked, even knowing the answer.

"yeah princess, i'm so so sorry" he rubbed my back.

"who was it, i'll kill them" i spat angrily.

"the black hood" he answered, his voice also laced with venom.

"we are doing everything we physically can to find that man" i growled.

"even if it kills me"

i looked over to fangs, still with his head in his hands. i tiptoed over, touching his shoulder. he stood up and engulfed me into his now weak arms.

we were the closest thing she had at riverdale high, and i was so happy that we were so close so it would help with coping.

"i'm so sorry" he cried.

"no this isn't your fault fangs" i sobbed into his chest.

"i was- i was going to ask her to be my girlfriend at the party after the show" he started, "she said she wanted to be a serpent just like me and you she wanted it to be a surprise"

"well then we will get her a jacket" i sniffled.

"we can leave it on her grave" he sniffed, as we sat next to each other on the couch.

jughead threw me a long shirt, most likely fps. i shoved it on and went to get the others, before anyone noticed i shoved the dress into my school bag, i didn't want to throw it away just yet.

we all sat there in silence, the odd sniffle and hug from one an other. i snuggled deeper into sweet pea, not wanting to let go.

"we will find the black hood ally, and we will kill him" betty said, clenching her fists into her palm.

"then i'm coming too" i said.

the serpents put their hands up, like two snake fangs.

"for midge" we all said sadly.

"for midge" i whispered, one last tear dripping from my eye.

i woke up screaming that night, over and over again. fp ended up sleeping on the floor next to me for protection.

i kept replaying the scene over again, seeing more things as it repeated. the blood. the blood dripping from her mouth. the fact that she was dead, the same way i was supposed to die in the show. the fact that the words around her were written in her blood.

how did nobody see him? or hear her scream?

i hoped she wasn't in pain, that he killed her before stabbing her. it was an awful thought but i couldn't stand the thought of her feeling every knife he stuck into her body.

i gave up on sleeping, and tiptoed out of the trailer and sat on the bench. the oversized t shirt just large enough to sit on as i pulled my knees to my chest.

i let a few tears fall from my cheeks, laughing to myself and crying to myself thinking about all of our memories together. it was friday tomorrow. i had nobody to share my sweets with. that tradition died with her.

"i heard you sneak out, then i heard sniffling" i heard jughead say from beside me.

"why did it have to be midge? why anyone? why target students" i sniffled, as i rested my head on his shoulder.

"you haven't had a good run have you, mason?"

i shook my head, pushing my lips together in realisation of the last few weeks.

"it's just life i guess" i sighed.
