Alice and Fp story

Chapter 35- mad

Fp walked in to the quiet diner and straight to the back.  He pushed the door open and slammed it behind him. He came out and started to clean the bathroom.  He didn't even say hi which made me sad because it was my favorite part of the day.  I followed him into the bathroom to see what was bothering him.  "Hey want to talk?" I placed my hand onto his shoulders. He flinched and tried to move away.  "Talk to me." I tried to hug him, but he just moved farther away.  "Are you going to tell me why you aren't talking to me Fp?" He said nothing, so I just left.  He was mad at me and I had no idea why.  I started to clean the tables off when I could feel my eyes start to water. 

Fp's pov

I was on my way to Pop's and I had checked the mail.  I grabbed the mail and noticed a letter.  I reached into the envelope and pull out a picture of me in my old football uniform, but there was a red circle on a couple in the background.  I looked closely at it to see Hal and Alice.  They were behind the bleachers kissing.  The note that was with it read "See Fp you think you won, but even back then when she was yours I still was winning lets see who will win this round." I crumbled up the note in my hand and through it out the window.  I drove to Pops trying to hold the tears back in my eyes.  I didn't dare look at Alice when I walked into Pops.  I went straight to the back and grabbed the cleaning supplies for the bathroom.  I hoped she wouldn't follow me in, but she did.  She kept asking me if I was ok and if I wanted to talk.  I wanted to turn around a throw the picture in her face, but I had to keep my cool.  I ignored her until she left.  After she left the bathroom I locked the door behind me and started to sob against the door.

Alice pov

I could not control my tears anymore, so I told Pop I was leaving and headed home.  As I walked into the door my makeup was a mess, so I tried to hurry upstairs, but Polly caught me anyway.  "Mom what happened?" She said coming towards hugging me.  I started to cry again "I don't know I was having a normal day and then Fp came in all pissed off and won't talk to me and the last time he did that we broke up." I felt Polly's shirt start to get wet from my tears.  "I'm sorry mom." She rubbed my back.  "I'm going to go upstairs." I walked away from Polly and went into my bedroom and slammed the door.  I fell onto by bed and started to think on why he could be so mad at me. 

Fp's pov

I heard the bell from the door ring and I came out from the bathroom to see who it was.  Polly came storming through the door pushing the twins stroller.  "Why the hell are you mad at my mom!" She pushed the twins by another booth.  "She came home crying because she is scared that you are going to leave her." I said nothing to Polly.  I started to fill the tears come from my eyes as I reached into my pocket to pull out the picture.  I handed it to her as a tear ran down my eye.  She was at a lost for words as she started down at the picture.  "Who..wa.. who sent you this?" "I'm guessing it was your father he sent a note, but I threw it out the window." I started to walk back into the bathroom when Polly said. "Wait Fp I know you beyond livid with my mom, but let me talk to her ok I'm sure there is some reason behind all of this." She took the picture with her and headed out the door pushing the twins.

Alice's pov

I heard the door open downstairs "Mom you have some explaining to do." Polly yelled.  I didn't even know she left.  I went downstairs to see what she was talking about and she handed me a picture.  I looked at the picture "What is this?" "Look close mom." I looked closer at the picture and saw me and Hal in the back.  I instantly felt sick remembering what had happened that night. 

Flashback

The riverdale bulldogs had just one the semi final game and I was coming off the stands to go congratulate Fp when Hal pulled me aside and said it was important, so I followed him.  He took me under the bleachers and put his hand on my face.  "What are you doing?" I asked trying to wipe his hand away.  "I am getting Fp back." He pulled my face close to his and kissed me.  I pulled away slapped him and ran as soon as possible.  I hoped nobody had seen anything especially Fp.  I went up to Fp and gave him a huge smile and hug.  I tried to act normal because I didn't want to ruin Fp's night.  Nothing had ever happened after that.  Well until me and Fp broke up and I got with Hal.

"And that's what actually happened." I squeezed the picture in my hand wanting to slap Hal just like I had done that night.  "Mom I am so sorry you have to go tell Fp." "He won't listen plus Pops is open, so there are probably customers." "I'll make him listen." "No Polly just leave it alone I will talk to him this weekend when both the kids are gone." I turned away from her and walked into the kitchen to start lunch.  Me and Polly had a quiet lunch.  All I could think about was punching Hal and trying to talk to Fp.  After lunch we decided to take the babies in a walk to try to relax.  It didn't really work, but it was nice for Polly at least.  Betty came home from school before she left with Jughead for the weekend to say goodbye.  We said our goodbyes and I got ready to go to Pops after Fp's shift so we could talk
