Youngblood // Sweet Pea

9

Everyone was having seizures, starting with Josie. Sheriff Dickwad was interrogating us about Archie, as a class. He got really close to her face and she started seizing.

Then, it was the cheer squad. Betty, Toni, Cheryl, they were seizing on the lockeroom floor with the rest of the girls.

Jughead and Archie were still lose. No one could find the pair, but after what was said, Archie was Jugheads pawn, he would have to be sacrificed.

I prayed for the town. I prayed for the teens in Riverdale.

I watched from the Jones's trailer as tents were destroyed in the rain. The serpents lost there leader and it's been my duty to watch over what Betty couldn't. Which she couldn't do mich, seeing how she's under house arrest.

FP stood in the door frame of the kitchen.

"How are you doing, doll?"
"I'm a mess. I really don't know what to do."

"Well, I'm not going to point anything out but, you should talk to Sweet Pea. He and Josie are no longer together."

"I'm not sure what that's going to do. We as people grew apart. He has his life and I have mine."

"That's not what I heard that night you drove out here, and sat outside trying to piece together where you two went wrong. That's not what he says when he's drunk."

I stared in shock, trying to piece things together.

"I'm going to talk to him."
"And I'll be here to talk after, whether it be good or bad."

I nodded briskly, putting my hood up over my hair. I rushed down the stairs, spotting Sweet Pea watching a police officer raid his tent and belongings.

"Sweet Pea!"

He turned to me. I walked faster to him, placing a hand on his arm.

"We really need to talk, let's go to my truck, please."

He looked back at the police officer that was placing his things back in his tent.

"Yeah, yeah. Ok."

I grabbed his hand, walking fast to my truck. I watched the rain run down his face and arms. He didn't have a hoodie on, or his normal jacket.

I climbed in the passenger while Sweets climbed in the driver. He placed his hand on my knee.

"Mina, I'm so sorry. You were right, once I sobered up I broke it off with her. She didn't see me like you do. I'm so so sorry for the pain I've caused you. I never ever wanted to hurt you and I'm sorry I did."

I looked up at him as he spoke.

"Sweet Pea I-"

He placed his lips on mine, breaking my sentence off as he did so. I leaned into his embrace. I placed a hand on his neck tattoo and the other on his face, pulling him closer.

I felt his hands on my waist, pulling me towards him more.

Being with him felt so right, he made me see clear. The lack of oxygen was becoming an issue. He pulled away first, us both panting to catch our breath.

Once, our breaths steadied, he pecked my lips once more. A knock came at the window causing us to snap out of the world we were in.

Fangs stood on the other side of the glass. I rolled down the window and looked towards him, wanting him to speak.

"Mina, Sweet Pea, FP wants you two."

I nodded, rolling the window back up.

"Before we go, answer my question."
