Sweet Pea POV:

I woke up to the sound of my phone going off. I take a look at the id and it was Toni. It's 6am and it's the weekend what could she possibly want?

I decided to answer the call so I wouldn't wake Betty up. I press Accept and role over to make sure she hadn't woken up. Thankfully her eyes were closed and her chest was calmly rising and falling.

( Toni and Sweet Pea on the phone )

Sweet Pea: what do you want, you could've woken Betty up. I groan into the phone.
Toni: aww you two sleep together, cute. She squeals through the phone.
Sweet Pea: did you have an actual reason for calling me? I ask not in the mood. I just want to sleep.
Toni: ok grumpy. We have a Serpent meeting at 7 am, tell Joaquin. Don't be late. She said and hung up.

( end of call )

I quickly and quietly slide myself out of her bed and headed to my room so I could change. I get some new clothes and sent a text to Joaquin telling him about the meeting.

I make myself some breakfast and decided to leave a note for Betty so she knew where I was. I get a pen and piece of paper.

Hey baby, sorry I had to leave so early and not be there when you wake up.  Your brother and I have a Serpent meeting we need to attend. If you need anything at all, call me.
Love you hunny.
From Sweet Pea

I fold it in half and creep up the stairs into her room. I place it down on her bedside table. I look down at her, one of her hands was hanging over the bed. She quietly stirs in her sleep.

I began to slowly walk out making sure I didn't wake up my sleeping beauty.

I grabbed my keys and headed outside to my bike. I get on and speed down to the Wyrm.

I arrive at the Wyrm and am greeted by Toni. There were Serpents crowded around everywhere.

This meeting better be worth it. I have to miss spending time with Betty for this.

Betty POV:

I was up to no muscular arm wrapped protectively around me. I roll over and see nothing. Where's Sweet Pea?

I go to stand up and I noticed there was a piece of paper folded up on my bedside table. I pick the thin piece of paper up off the table and unfold it. It was a letter form Sweet Pea, explaining why he had to go.

I change into some of my ripped jean pants and a black crop top that has "meow" printed onto it.

I walk into my bathroom and fix my hair that looked like a volcano by now. I spray some perfume on and walk downstairs.

I make myself some cereal and sit at the kitchen table, as I eat and enjoy the peaceful silence. Something I hadn't heard in so long.

After breakfast I slump onto the couch for a couple hours, binge watching terrible tv drama shows that should have been canceled before they even started filming. I mean who cares about what someone eats?

It was now 6 pm and I decided to finish the rest of my geography assignment.

I ended up creating a fake person. His name is Bob and he was born in France. He's my uncle and to this day lives there. He has visited multiple countries around the world and still prefers his charming old home.

It should seem some what reasonable, right?

I've never faked an assignment. Everything I hand in is true, not lies like this assignment, but I really wasn't given another choice. I didn't want to speak to the teacher either because that raises issues that I didn't have a legal guardian, it would only cause trouble for me and Joaquin.
