Youngblood // Sweet Pea

6

We all sat in the kitchen. I had the ice back on my hand. The music from the living room bopping into the kitchen.

"Well Toni and I are going to leave, have fun." Cheryl said walking out of the kitchen.

I leaned my head on my arm, closing my eyes. It probably wasn't even 8. I opened my eyes to see Sweet Pea looking down at me.

"What?" He shrugged.
"You should go enjoy the party" he shook his head.
I wasn't going to fight with him. I closed my eyes again.

Jug rolled his eyes before standing and walking out of the kitchen. "Where's Fangs?"

"Probably out with Kevin."
"Who?"
"Kevin Keller, the Sheriff's son"

I nodded, sitting back up straight. I leaned against the back of the stool. The rain was hitting the porch.

I watched as Pea stared out the window. I've had enough excitement for the night.

"What are you thinking?" I asked Pea.
"I don't want to be here." I nodded knowing how he felt.

"Let's go to the Wyrm then." He looked towards me, confused. "Really?" I nodded.

I pulled myself from the stool and put the ice pack back into the freezer. I texted Jug, telling him I was leaving.

I walked through the door into the garage. My bike was parked next to Pea's. I backed my bike up and Pea followed.

He held his hand before he started, "let me call FP. He won't mind." I nodded as he called FP, having him pick us up.

The rain continued. Someone walked into the garage, following speaking. "What are you two doing?" I turned to see Toni.

"FP is coming to get us. I don't feel well and Sweet Pea offered to come with me." She nodded before understand.

"Ok, you two. Have a good night." I nodded before Toni continued what she was doing before walking out. I moved my bike outside the garage.

Sweets did the same before FP pulled up outside the house. We walked outside the gate and FP helped us put our bikes in the bed.

I sat in the middle, the two sat on either side on me. FP drove and Sweet Pea played with the rings on his fingers.

I sat silently. I just enjoyed the view as we drove. "What did you do to you hand?" I looked at FP before looking back down.

"She hit a northsider that was running his mouth." He nodded.
"Wow you're really like your mother." I looked back down.

The rest of the ride was pure silence, I helped Sweets get his bike out of the back before walking inside.

I quickly realized I had nothing to do. It wasn't late maybe 9ish. I climbed behind the bar table and began to wiping the counter.

Sweet Pea was playing pool with other serpents, FP probably in the back doing his own business. My phone vibrating brought my attention from the counter.

There was a few notifications and them some missed calls. Nothing really stood out to me.

The door opened and three boys walked in, I watched Sweet Peas face fall before he shouted for FP. The three walked towards the bar, looking at me.

Sweet Pea rushed back with me while FP emerged from the back.

"Ye- , What are they doing here?"
"I don't know" Sweet Pea said from between his clenched teeth. I wasn't stupid, I knew they were Ghoulies. I crossed my arms.

"Get out of here, now." They smirked at FP.
"We come with a note for Mina Cara, y'know this came from Greendale."

I turned my back, Sweet Pea looking towards me. I gave him a look that said 'I'll tell you later'. He turned his attention back to them.
