gangsta - riverdale sweet pea

31

i immediately dialled his phone again, and again. and again. never an answer. what the fuck? why would he leave me, leave jug, when we both needed him the most.

i heard the door click open and i quickly pushed myself into the other room with my crutches. it was fp, and he was rubbing over his face with his hand tiredly.

"he's gone" i whimpered, my broken eyes staring into his healing ones.

"who? whose gone ally" he asked, perking up worriedly.

"sweet pea, he left this note" he began reading the crumpled paper "why would he do that to me, to us?"

"i don't know, but i won't quit until someone has found that boy" he said clenching his fist lightly.

that boy will literally be the death of me.

a ring echoes through the trailer, and i instantly got butterflies hoping it was sweets. i pulled out my phone and composed myself, wiping away my tears. i gazed down seeing the archies face plaguing my screen.

"hello?" i asked.

"it's jug, he's awake. are you with fp?" he replied happily.

"yeah, yeah we're coming now" i smiled, almost forgetting sweet pea.

"he's awake!!" i giggled, trying to bounce as well as i could.

"that's great come on quick...i can't get you there hun, i only have the bike"

"oh yeah, of course how stupid of me" i rambled, "you go, please just tell him i said... hi" i sighed.

"i will" he nodded sadly.

he left quickly and within seconds his familiar revving got quieter and quieter as he speeded away.

jug came home, and we sat snuggled on the couch watching finding nemo. he reminded me of the time that i fell off my bike and scraped my elbow, we came inside and watched this exact movie. i guess our scars were a little bigger this time.

"i'm so happy you're okay" jughead admitted, a tear dropping from his eye.

"likewise juggie, i don't know what i would have done if i didn't have you back... sweet pea, he's gone" i rolled my eyes.

"what? why?" he sat up, and i pushed myself up painfully.

"he said i shouldn't be apart of the serpents, that he was ruining me" i glanced at the floor.

"well you are a serpent, you're safer with us. we all love you, and he's being selfish" he spat, being over protective, but i liked it.

"i just hope he comes home, i've missed him so much" i messes with my hands as i wore my heart in my sleeve.

"we'll figure it out, don't worry ally" he rubbed my shoulder.

"what happened to us? why was it us two?" i sighed.

"fps kids i guess" he chuckled.

"i've been thinking jug. do you think your dad would mind if i changed my name... to jones?" i asked shyly.

"you know he'd be honoured to have you as a jones, we all would ally" he grinned.

"thanks, i just thought it was weird. i don't know" i shook my head.

"definitely not! you're basically one anyway, let's make it official"

we continued watching film after film. neither of us were sleeping anytime soon, and we were in too much pain anyway.

"jug, i don't really want to be alone" i gulped.

"i'm in here with you don't worry"

"i know but, i- i don't know. without sweet pea i feel lonely. no offence jug he was just like my person" i admitted.

"i completely understand, i'd be the same with betty" he replied.

i nodded, practically emotionless as i sat thinking about where he could be right now.

"i have to go" i said suddenly, standing up and gripping onto my crutches tightly, still not used to them fully.

"what? where?" jug asked, not able to stand as i did.

"to find him, i need to know he's okay" i began to panic, images of him flashing over my eyes.

"no you'll hurt yourself, he'll be fine ally don't worry. we will find him" he reassured, and i sat next to him on the sofa again.

that night dreams flowed through my mind. but not nice ones. they were actually nightmares, of: malachi, penny, sweet pea and last but not least martin.

after the restless night i had, i knew that i had to find sweet pea. and if nobody would help me then i'd go alone.
