The hidden truth

Chapter 89 - Just don't

I looked at Jug as he moved through the hall and people separated like the Red Sea, I was scared for Sweetpea since I knew that the only damage people could do by hurting him was hurt me since I was in love with him. It was stupid but it was real and I couldn't deny it and pretend that watching him get hurt was something I could allow.

"You son of a bitch" Jughead yelled as he came face to face with Sweetpea who looked scared and nervous all at once, Betty looked at me and come to hug me while Fangs joined Jugheads side. "You cheated on her? You wanted to play tonsil tennis with another girl? Then why not just beak up with her you asshole!" Jughead yelled some more as Sweetpea just took the abuse they threw at him which made me feel so horrible inside as I looked at his beautiful face that I just wanted to hold and shield from this assault.

"That's low dude, even for you" Fangs said as he looked at Sweetpea while shaking his head and I tried to move out of Betty's grasp when Reggie turned a corner and clearly wasn't in a good mood, I wasn't in the mood for a fight and I didn't want Reggie to cause one.

"Serpent scum! You think it's okay to just cheat!" Reggie yelled while I looked at Toni and tried to pledge her with my eyes to make this stop Becuase I couldn't bare it any longer. I wanted to run into Sweetpea's arms and run away from all of this assault and hostility that was currently happening in this hallway.

I saw Reggies hand turn into a fist and I couldn't stomach this anymore, I wiggled out of Betty's hold and stood in front of Sweetpea just as Reggies fist came into the air and they all looked at me in shock, like this wasn't normal or okay for me to be doing. "He's not worth it okay! Plus hurting him is only going to hurt me so let's drop it okay?" I said with a sigh as I stood in front of the man I just wanted to hold with all my life to protect him. Something he would never do for me, he wouldn't protect me or love me the way I did for him. I needed to understand and get over that.

Fangs looked at me wit's sympathy and I just walked away and down the hall, I walked into the bathroom and looked into the mirror. I was damaged but he managed to make me appear so much weaker than I was before, he managed to open me up to the world and now he's left me open and weak and I hated it. I couldn't pretend that I liked it and liked being this open to the world when in reality I wanted it to stop and leave me alone.

I sighed and wanted to punch that mirror so hard, let it shatter like i felt. Let something anything feel how I felt about this. I let him in and trusted him when i was doing so well, when I didn't need too and I shouldn't have Becuase of the last Male that I trust who turned out to be an asshole as much as this one but this asshole, he was different Becuase as much as I hated him. He was mine, I was protective over him and territorial over him. I was in deep and I was screwed.

I looked in the mirror and saw my mess of a self looking back with ruined Make up that I didn't really care about, make up was horrible. It inspired little girls to think they had to look a certain way and tricks people into thinking you look a certain way when you don't. It's damaging to a little girl and I grew up with it on my face and it on the people around me to make the people happier that we looked how they wanted instead of looking like a normal girl who doesn't have clear skin and perfect lips.

I hated the way they would say it made me look perfect when I was little, i was a beautiful child just like all are and it was horrible to grow up like that and then believe you need it when your older. So I was glad it was washed off my face with my tears, those tears that carried so much hate and love for this one person. I turned to see Toni come in and smile at me as she pulled me into a hug.

"Fangs would be here but he said he doesn't want to get called a weirdo" she laughed alittle at the end which made me laugh and smile knowing my best friends were around me and they weren't leaving much like my other one, Adeline was a lot to me and my life, having her gone felt wrong to me yet it wasn't a choice that I made.

"Thanks you guys" I said with a weak smile as I picked myself up and walked outside to see Fangs and Kevin stood outside talking about how Jughead was being cooled down by Betty which made me smile, I liked Betty she was good for Jug and they were a great couple. A perfect serpent king and queen since she had compassion and was genuinely sweet yet smart and Jughead was very flexible in his reactions to things, he was also very quick on his feet and wouldn't let things slide. They were a perfect king and queen for the serpents. "Come on, let's go I don't want Weetherbee on my ass the first day back" I said with a small laugh and they all laughed back as we walked towards our lessons trying to act normal and to act like seventeen year olds, maybe I was finally getting what I wished.

To be a normal seventeen year old girl. To just be seventeen.
