At School the next day Reggie is looking furious, when he grabs my arm roughly and pulls me in a certain direction.
"Ow, Reggie. You're hurting me" I say and he pulls me into the Janitors closet
"Look Lily. Your brother needs to go to therapy or something. He won't sign the damn apology letter. He plans on going into the Southside, wants to draw out the Black Hood." he says squeezing my arm tighter
"Reggie, stop" I whimper and pull my arm from his grip and run out of the Janitors closet and to the girls locker room clutching my arm. But before I get there I run into one Chuck Clayton
"You okay Lily?" he asks
"I'm fine" I mutter
"Reggie's getting frustrated with you isn't he? Sleeping with other girls cause you won't give up your v-card. Can't get you in the book cause he hasn't screwed you. Now the football team being disbanded is just the cherry on top and he's taken it out on you" he says
"What?" I ask and he grabs my hand showing me the bruise on my arm from Reggie's hand
"He's with you to get in the book of conquests" he says and I gasp
"Show me" I say and he leads the way to the boys locker room and knows where they put it. He opens it to show me and I see my name near Reggie's.
"Asshole" I say grabbing my phone.
'It's over Asshole. We're done. I know about the Playbook' I text him and head to the cafeteria and he walks over to me
"We're not over until I say we're over" he says
"Well I just said it Reggie. We're done." I say walking to Veronica and Betty when he grabs my hand. I turn and face him before lifting my hand and slapping him across the face.
"Don't ever touch, talk or even come near me again" I say and walk away heading for the exit.When it begins to get dark, I follow Archie as he gets supplies from some place on the edge of town before following him home
The next night I follow him to the Southside. I lose him for a little and find him drawing a Red Circle on a door.
"Hey! What the hell are you doing?" I hear Sweet Pea ask
"I'd back off, I'm not here for you" Archie says
"Oh yeah then who's this message for?" Sweet Pea asks pushing Archie and seeing his face
"Oh hell, don't tell me it's for the Black Hood. Do you believe this guy? And you say we're the troublemakers" he says and Archie goes to walk past but he gets pushed back by two of them
"Woah, South Side Serpent Territory. You can't come here and tag our turf. So why don't you get your ass back to the Northside before somebody gets hurt" he says
"Get out of my way, or someone will get hurt" Archie says and I begin to step closer
"You just made a big mistake" Sweet Pea says getting out a pocket knife and my eyes widen.
Archie looks at the knife threatened and pulls out a gun shoving it in Sweet Pea's face
"Who made the mistake?" Archie asks
"What the hell?" Sweet Pea asks
"WHO MADE THE MISTAKE?" Archie yells and I stand between the gun and Sweet Pea.
"WHAT THE HELL ARCHIE?" I yell at him
"Lily" he says, his eyes widened
"This your psycho boyfriend Flower?" Sweet Pea asks and notices the bruise on my arm
"I'm her brother. You thug" Archie says pointing the gun past me and I grab it from his hand
"Go home Archie" I tell him
"You're coming too" he says
"No. I'm not. I'll go stay with Jughead" I say
"Lily" he sighs
"GO HOME ARCHIE!" I yell and he heads home
"You're either brave or stupid for standing in front of a gun like that Lily" Sweet Pea says
"I wasn't about to let my brother wave a gun in the face of the guy I just met" I say
"Why's that? You got the hots for me?" he asks
"I just got out of a relationship. I don't have the hots for anyone" I say putting the gun in the waistband of my jeans and he grabs my hand leading me to the trailer park.
"Is that where you got the bruise on your arm?" he asks
"Reggie was so pissed at Archie, plus his frustrations that I wouldn't do it with him heightened his anger that the football team was disbanded." I say and he pulls me into him when we get to the trailer park.
"He's got no reason to be pissed at you. Your brother's being reckless and you don't have to do anything you're not comfortable with" he says
"Where are you staying?" I ask
"My trailer" he says
"Lead the way" I say and he raises a brow
"You sure?" he asks
"Did I stutter Sweet Potatoes?" I ask with an amused smirk
"Oh no. Not again" he says and lifts me up over his shoulder making me squeal
"Sweet Pea put me down" I say and he puts me down slowly
"Lily" Jughead calls and I turn to face him
"Hey Jug" I say
"What's going on here? Is Sweet Pea harassing you?" he asks
"Back off Jones" Sweets says
"No, no. We're just having a joke. Mind if I stay the night Jug?" I ask and he shakes his head
"Not at all, come on" he says
"Goodnight Flower" Sweet Pea says
"Night Giagantor" I say waving as I walk away
"What's going on between you and Sweet Pea?" he asks
"Nothing. Just playful banter" I say walking into his trailer to see Betty, Toni and Kevin.
"You've been seen with Sweet Pea three times now Lily." he says
"Wow. Three times. Am I gonna die? Am I gonna get sick? Whoops" I say sarcastically taking a seat and Toni laughs at me
"So Sweet Pea huh?" Toni asks
"Toni, don't" I say and she puts her hands up in surrender
"Do you think he's hot?" Betty asks
"Betty" I groan walking off into the kitchen part
"Do you?" Kevin asks
"Kevin don't you start too or I'm going home" I say
"Come on guys leave her be" Jughead says
"Thank you" I say
"But come on Lily, you gotta give us some Intel" he says
"Bye" I say walking out of the trailer and heading home when Reggie's car pulls up beside me and he gets out standing in front of me
"Lily please let me explain" he says
"Explain what Reggie? That you have been sleeping with other girls that are easy cause I won't do it with you? Or explain how my name is next to yours in that book of conquests? Or how about explaining the bruise you left on my arm Reg?" I ask
"I'm sorry. I can't tell you how sorry I am. It was a game at first but the longer it took to get you to pull through, the more I had to get to know you and the more I began to like you" he says
"I can't just forgive and forget Reg. I mean look at my arm" I say looking down at my arm, tears welling in my eyes. He cups my face in his hands so I will look at him
"I know but your brother, he's got the team disbanded and it's practically anger management" he says softly wiping the tears from my cheeks and I pull away
"It's no excuse Reggie, how do I explain that to my dad? To Archie? I don't care how pissed you are at him, don't take it out on me" I say walking off
