   At the hospital Sweets, was asleep holding Ivy's hand in the chair next to her bed. FP was asleep on the couch across the room. Ivy starts to squirm a little as she wakes up. She notices Sweet Pea next to her & how beautiful he looked. She rubs the bump on her head & winces. Sweets starts to stir & realizes she's awake. "Hey princess. How do you feel?" He says with a raspy voice. "I feel okay I guess. What did the doctor say?" She asks.

   "That you're gonna be okay but you have a minor concussion so they're going to keep you overnight & we can go home tomorrow." He smiles kissing her forehead. "What happened." "Well, I woke up & heard you yelling with your dad & then he punched you & they think you hit your head on something on the way down because of the concussion." He says with his face getting redder. "I was gonna go back out & find him but FP stopped me. I was gonna find him & kill him. Doing this to you. You do not deserve this Ivy." He rants.

   "This has been going on for about four to five years now. No one knew. Not even Reggie. That's one of the big reasons I didn't like it when he pushed me. All those times I would say that I missed him or that I loved him, it was all a lie. This is why I wanted to leave so soon. Cause I knew he was gonna be home soon & i couldn't stand another beating. I thought he was gonna be home later in the week but he surprised me." Ivy says playing with her hospital band. "You're gonna move in with me remember? Dahlia & Rose are already at the trailer & they are fed. FP dropped off your clothes too."

Ivy took a look at FP. She had only just met this man & she already felt so close to him. "Who else knows I'm here?" Ivy asks. "I just told Betty & Veronica that you had an accident & you are in the hospital. I wasn't sure if you wanted me to tell them the actual reason." He answers. Ivy looks at him in awe. "You're so respectful. I'm gonna call them & tell them what happened." Ivy says grabbing her phone from the table next to her.

   Ivy calls Betty & then Veronica & tells them to come to the hospital. Ivy explains everything to the three of them. Starting from the first time he hit her to the last time. Ivy asked them to keep this story private, they were allowed to say she was in the hospital but if anyone asked why she didn't want anyone to know. After visiting hours were over the girls left & the things that they brought to Ivy remained behind. "Scoot over." Sweets demanded. Ivy did as she was told & he curled up in bed with her & they drifted off to sleep.

The next morning Ivy woke up to a doctor checking her vitals one last time & then taking it her IVs. Ivy checked out as FP & Sweet Pea carried some of her things. Ivy decided to ride with FP in his truck instead of the motorcycle because she still wasn't feeling up for that. They stopped at Pop's & met up with Jughead, Fangs, & Toni for some food.

"Oh my god I have been craving a milkshake." Ivy says. Fangs laughs before feeding another fry into his mouth. "So you're moving in with Pea?" Toni asks. "Yeah. The Northside just isn't doin it for me anymore." She laughs answering Toni's question. "Well look, if you ever need anything, Fangs & I gotcha." She finishes with a wink. "Huh?" Fangs says looking up from his burger.

The group laughs & finishes eating. "Wrym?" Jug says looking at the rest of the group. "I'm down. Are you okay to go?" Sweet Pea says looking at Ivy. "I'm not sure. My head kinda hurts & I'm tired. Is it okay if FP drops me off at home?" Ivy says looking at the rest of them. They all nod & she waves goodbye before heading to the truck with FP.

FP pulls up at Pea's trailer & before leaving he asks Ivy a question. "Are you gonna be okay here by yourself?" Ivy gives him a look that says "really?" As if she has never stayed home by herself before. "Yes FP, I'm gonna be just fine. Thank you." She says before he pulls away. She walks in & is immediately greeted by her dogs. "Hi babies!! Mommy missed you both!" She coos. She puts them both on leashes & lets them outside to potty.

Ivy changes into one of Sweet Pea's sweatshirts & slips off her jeans. She takes medicine & makes food before laying on the couch to watch Friends. Ivy picks up Rose & sits her on her lap & motions for Dahlia to get up on the couch. After Ivy finishes her food she heads to the bath. She draws a bath & waits for the temperature to get perfect. When she gets in she turns on her playlist & relaxes. She hears a knock on the door & is startled. "Who is it?" "You okay princess?" Sweet Pea asks. "Yeah I'm fine." She says shaving her legs. "Can I come in?" He asks. She chuckles. "Yeah."

   He walks in & sits on the floor next to the dogs. "How was the Wyrm?" She asks. "It was good. I have a present for you whenever you get done." He says smirking. "No no! Now I'm nervous!" She whines. "I'm sure you're gonna love it. Just hurry up & it's on the bed." He says exiting the bathroom. About five minutes later she comes out in a towel & heads to the bedroom. "Oh. My. God."

A/N: Sorry for the late update, I'm dealing with some things right now & I am a wee bit sad. But I'm doing the best that I can <3!!
