Youngblood // Sweet Pea

12

We drove back to the trailer park, I noticed that the same Mercedes parked in Sweet Pea's spot.

I hopped out of the truck and padded into the trailer. I pulled my laptop out and opened a fresh word document.

Last Friday you read that I moved to Riverdale. Today, I will be talking about renting a house/apartment. I found three choices on the Northside. Two were houses while one was a studio apartment. I took my uncle with me to look at these.
The first house was the least expensive. It was a two bedroom, two bathroom. It was pretty nice.
The second one was a studio. It had a front and back yard. It was a open concept.
The third was the most expensive. It was a one bedroom, two bath, and attic and basement. The basement was unfinished, so you could really do anything with that space.
Even though they were all very nice, I think I'm going to pick the first one. It fits my needs properly.

Sincerely,
Mina Gray

I saved the document and closed the lid of my laptop. I leaned back on the couch. My memory slipped back to the journal. I pulled it out.

I slipped back to previous pages.

May 7th
2 more months and the baby's here. We really can't wait for a pink bundle of joy to join the family. Mac is over the moon about another girl in the family.
I've been struggling with mood swings and constant headaches.
I am forever tired and Montgomery is being more complicated than usual.

I finished reading, closing the book and rubbing my eyes. I had no clue why I was so tired. I stood from the couch and walked towards the door, I felt like I needed fresh air.

I felt the warm wind brush up against my face as I walked out. The Mercedes was still parked next to Sweet's bike. I felt jealous, I haven't seen him all day.

The rumble from FP's bike approached as Betty and Jughead came up to the trailer.

Jughead got off as Betty followed.
"Hi m"
"Hi Mina"

I watched as they both walked into the trailer. FP walked out and proceed to walk down the stairs.

"I'm off to work, if those two get to loud just bang on the wall." I laughed as I waved him a good bye.

As he started his bike, the same thin girl walked out of Sweet Pea's trailer, Sweet's following close behind here.

I watched as they kissed and she got in her car, then drove away. I made eye contact with Sweet's before walking back inside.

"Mina, did you go to the party at Cheryl's?" I shook my head.
"No but I think I will." I pulled out my phone before rushing outside. I hopped on my bike.

I watched Kevin and Fangs walk from Fangs trailer.

"Hey Mina, are you going to Cheryl's?
"Yeah are you?"
"Yeah, just catch a ride with us."

I nodded as I walked towards the car that kevin got into. Fangs got in the passenger and I got into the back.

I watched out the window as Kevin and Fangs chatted. I had so much on my mind.

The ride passed quickly, us arriving at her house in what felt 5 minutes. I got out of the car and followed behind the pair.

The music blasted from the outside, already feeling the early morning headache coming on.

I looked at the people filling the large house. People making out, alcohol being passed around.

I walked through the house to the kitchen, and then into the back yard. The night was warm. I sat in a lawn chair, looking up at the star filled sky.
