Youngblood // Sweet Pea

3

We ate dinner and paid. I walked to my truck. "You remeber where the trailer park is?"

I nodded and got into the truck. I've decided that I would look around tomorrow.

I started the truck and pulled from my spot. I turned the corner and began driving to the trailer park.

I switched with my radio to the Riverdale radio station. Ozzy Osborne played through my speakers.

I unrolled my window and turned up the radio. The rain was gone, the clouds still gray.

I looked in my rear view mirror to see FP in the truck behind Jug on the bike.

I sighed in content, this is what it felt like to have a family. I thought about today as I drove.

Sweet Pea never formally introduced himself, maybe he didn't like me. Which made since, I come off as rude at times.

I pulled into the trailer park and drove to the back, where the trailer was.

I parked my truck before hopping out. The two park one on each side of the truck.

I noticed Fangs and Sweet Pea out on one of their lawns. I turned back to FP and Jug.

I followed them inside and saw the same house I saw when I was 10. "Come on, you can bunk with me."

I followed Jug to his room. His room was still the same, but with more books.

I sat on the bed as he followed me with his eyes. I rubbed my temples, feeling a head ache coming.

Jughead walked towards me and sat on the bed. I threw my body back so legs were hanging off the bed.

"I'm going to go, you have school tomorrow." Jughead complied. I walked into the living room.

FP was in the kitchen, I grabbed my keys off the counter and walked to my truck.

The boys were off the lawn, I unlocked the passengers side to grab my bag.

I walked inside and sat down next to FP on the couch. "I assure you that you will have the life your mom wanted you to have."

I nodded leaning my head onto the back of the couch. "Thank You, I'm so happy I moved here."

I unzipped my bag and grabbed the laptop. "Jug told me that you got a job at the Herald. I'm proud of you."

"Thank you." FP nodded and turned on the Tv. I unlocked my laptop and began to work.

Somehow I fell asleep, I don't know how, but I did. I woke to my laptop on the coffee table and me laying on my side.

I stretched, it wasn't light outside. I checked my watch and saw that it was barely 5.

I had little to no energy to do anything, but I was up too long to fall asleep.

I stood from the couch, stretching my limbs once again. I grabbed my keys off the counter and walked to my truck.

I didn't know what I was to do yet, but I needed coffee first. The warm morning reminded me of camping.

I proceeded to undo the tie-downs and get my bike out. I climbed into the bed and grabbed the ramp first.

Once the ramp was set up I slowly moved my bike down it. I rolled the bike over to FP's.

The rest of the things in the back were boxes. I started the truck and began to drive down the gravel road to the main one.

I turned corner down the road, driving to find the nearest espresso stand.

I had to turn down the radio and unroll my window because I was too hot.
