A bad boy with good intentions - Sweetpea fanfic

Part fourtyeight

After i reawoke that night , Sweetpea layed next to me . I got up out of my bed and went into Fps room . He was laying down on his bed , he wasnt asleep though.
"Ivy are you alright ?"
"Yeah i saw Mia "
"What when ?"
"After i left the hospital i went to the house Jen wasnt in so i spoke to her "
"Was Chris there ?"
"Yep but he let me in which i was pretty suprised at "
"I thought Chris left her "
"I think hes come back , i told him so good advice though"
"What was it ?"
"I told him to make sure he looks after and not screw up like he did with me or how Mrs Taylor screwed up with Issac because Fp that little girl has so much potiential"
"And so do you Ivy "
"Are you okay ?"
"Im fine , i always am Dad . Have you got work tommorow ?"
"Yeah im working  "
"Ill let you get some sleep , goodnight " i say before shutting the door behind me. When i went back into my bedroom Sweetpea was still asleep so i got back in bed. I ran my fingers along his bare back making him stir a little before opening his eyes.
"Are you okay ?"
"Yeah but i dont want to go to sleep , can we go get food ?" He nodded before getting back into his clothes . We left the trailer and walked towards pops it would take us a while but the cold night air on us was rather calming. We slowly walked through the southside. We finally reached pops and went in and ordered the food we wanted.
"What do you want to do tommorow ?" He asked me
"Havent you got Jobs to do "
"Yeah i need to deliever something "
"You might think i sound crazy but can i come with you ?" He nearly choked on his straw in his drink.
"No Ivy you cant "
"Why not ? I wanna go"
"First of all i aint putting you in that danger secondly Fp wont let you either"
"Fucking hell didnt know i came to pops with my father "
"Only cause your acting like a child and not thinking right "
"I can take care of my self , i did it for a long enough"
"Evidently not when you think about doing stupid shit like that"
"How can you call it stupid shit , you do it !" I say
"Just drop it "
"No"
"I said drop it " he said getting visibly annoyed. I grabbed my jacket and began to walk out the diner . I sat on the diner steps . Soon enough Sweetpea came out and sat next to me .
"im not gonna apologise if thats what you want " he said
"Fp said himself i have potiential , so i dont see why i cant do one job "
"Fuck sake if you really want to ask Fp "
"Okay i will " i knew what i was going to do.

When the next evening arrived i met Sweetpea .
"I cant believe Fp is letting you do this "
"Neither " i lied . I knew that he wouldnt let me do it so i didnt ask .
"What are we delievering ?"
Sweetpea showed me the package before putting it on the inside of the truck.
"Okay well lets go " i sat in the passenger side of the truck and Sweetpea placed the keys in the ignition before driving away and out of town , the place we had to deliever to was in Greendale. I sat looking out the truck window , Sweetpea quickly looked at me from the coner of my eye , he took one hand off the wheel and placed it on my knee distracting me from my thoughts. We got to Greendale and we had to stop for gas so Sweetpea pumped the gas while i went to the ATM that was around the block. I began to get out some money until i heard a voice .
"Hello gorgeous , whats a girl like you out at this time of night in Greendale"
"Getting some Money evidently " he walked closed towards me making me glare at him. He put his hand on my hip.
"Dont touch me "
"What are you going to do about gorgeous "he said grabbing me .
"You dont wanna know"
"Oh please " he mocked as his hand went to reach to my top which he grabbed me by.
" dont underestimate me " i say he pushed me against the wall. Before he could try whatever he wanted to do i swung my head up headbutting him , he lost his grip on me. I kicked him hard in his knees making him fall to the floor , i couldnt stop now . I got ontop of him and threw punch after punch making his nose and mouth bleed. He tried to get me off him and throw a few punches but he didnt suceed. Some of the anger i had built up the past few days was coming out in the punches i threw.
"You crazy bitch " he shouted . Soon enough i heard a familiar voice.
"Ivy stop" he said before lifting me off of the guy and putting me in the truck.
"Told you i can handle myself " i huffed looking down at my now bloody knuckles as we carried on driving through Greendale. Ten minutes later we got to the address that we got told. Me and Pea headed in , he held the package . It was a empty warehouse which was weird . Sweetpea just placed the package down on the one table that was there and grabbed me by my hand.
"We need to go something dont feel right " he dragged me out of the warehouse and back to the truck . On the way home we sat quietly .
"What actually happened with that man at the ATM" he asked me
"It doesnt matter what happened i dealt with it "
"If he done something and needed to be dealt with i would have done it to him " his Jaw clenched at the thought of him doing anything to her.
"Look it doesnt matter lets just go home "
"Ill drop you off ive got to head to the wyrm"
"Ill come "
"Are you sure ?"
"Yes im sure"
We carried on driving till we got to the wyrm . Me and Sweetpea headed in.
"Is it all done ?" Fp asked him
"Yeah we done it"
"Hold on , we ?" My eyes widened , Sweetpea looked at me and then looked at Fp.
"I meant me " he said.
"Okay thanks you did good " he patted him on the back . Before grabbing my hand and walking to the small booth at the corner of the wyrm that was away from everyone.
"Why did you lie ?" He said
"It doesnt matter Sweetpea"
"Yes it does "
"Because if im busy it doesnt give me time to think , i knew Fp wouldnt agree to it "
"Why didnt you say that yesterday ? I would have made Fangs or one of the others do the drop off " i shook my head at him .
"Im going home now okay" i say before getting up to go.
I headed out of the bar and headed to the train tracks that were behind pops . I sat on the edge of the tracks since i knew the trains had stopped running . I breathed in the cold air and looked down at my bruised knuckles before shutting my eyes as the cold tears ran down my cheeks. I let out a scream of frustration and put my head in my hands . I heard some talking before hearing footsteps come in my direction. Whoever used their phone as a torch to look who it was .
"Ivy? What are you doing here ?"
"Reggie is that you ?"
He used his light to look at my face he saw my red puffy eyes.
"Whats wrong ?" He sat down next to me.
"Come here " he took off his letterman jacket and placed it around me along with his arm . I just cried and cried .
"Its alright you dont have to tell me"
He held me for a long while just holding me as tight as he could.
"Come on its getting late , i didnt drive so you can stay at mine " i know Sweetpea wouldnt be happy if i did stay at Reggies but it was that or walking back to the southside in this state. Reggie got me inside and his mother was sat on the sofa.
"Reggie there you are i was getting worried " she turnt and then noticed me .
"Sorry i didnt notice you Ivy , come sit down "
"Mom its alright that she stays here tonight "
"Of course"
"Ivy why dont you go up and get showered ill be up in a minute " i nodded before heading upstairs.
"What happened to her ?"
"Im not sure i found her at the tracks in that state "
" oh god the poor girl , out of all the girls youve ever brought in this house ive always liked Ivy so make sure shes alright"
" of course , night mom" he said before heading upstairs . He knocked on the bathroom door.
"Ivy theres some clothes for you to wear out here when your done" when i came out i picked up the clothes and went and got changed before going to Reggies bedroom. He was going to leave.
"Where you going ?"
" i was gonna crash on the couch "
"Its fine Reggie im sure we can share a bed "
"Okay pick a side "
"Ill take the left " we both got into bed.
"Thanks for tonight "
"Dont stress it Ivy , think how far weve came remember you gave me a black eye " he joked.
"hey you deserved it , you was being an arsehole "
" always am apparently " he laughed.
"right weve got school tommorow so im going to sleep "
"Okay but before that , your serpent boyfriend no doubt is going to want my head after this "
" stop stressing its fine "
