Riley: A Riverdale FanFic

Chapter Thirty One: Mishaps

Riley's POV

I woke up on the ground of a strange room. I wasn't restrained or anything I was just laying there on my back. My head hurt so bad and I sat up but the room was spinning so I laid back down with a grunt. I heard footsteps and quickly pulled myself towards a wall and hauled myself up.

"Riley your awake." It was Axel standing in the door way with a duffel bag in his hands. "Come on get up you gotta get dressed." He said calmly like he didn't drug me and like I knew where I was completely.

"Where am I? What the fuck Axel. How did I get here?" I had so many questions but my head was spinning so much I closed my eyes and laid my head against the wall.

"We made an arrangement with the guy you fought last night. They offered a pretty Penny for a rematch or should I say a free beating on you. I knew you wouldn't come willingly and I couldn't let you know the location so the guys made me slip you something. I'm sorry Riley I really am but we need the money." He hung his head and scratched the back of the neck.

"Help me up." I said dryly eyes still closed. I felt his arms around me and he lifted me carefully to my feet. Once I was stable I pulled back and swung at him. He saw this coming and grabbed my wrist pinning my arm behind me. I was too dizzy and weak to fight him any harder.

"Riley I'm sorry, just let's get this over with okay. Think of the money you'll get." I was so tired my legs bent in under me. Axel swooped me up bridal shower and carried me into another room. I don't remember anything else.

Axels POV

I felt bad. I didn't want to drug her, I told the guys if we told her the truth she would be fine but Quip said it would be easier this way and it would be sure she got here. Now she is basically asleep in my arms because of the drug, I don't even know what it was I gave her. The guy she beat up last night wants a rematch and he was a Ghoulie so he wanted to do it in the secret hideout area we have. It's where we run when the cops is after us and we couldn't let Riley know where that is.

I carried her out of the porch if the place where I laid her first and into the main room where Quip and a few other people were waiting.

"Bro why is she still out?" Quip asking having just heard her a second ago.

"She passed out again when I stood her up. What was even in that drink you made?" Quip had made the concoction and I have no idea why I trusted him.

"I don't know man stuff. Wake her up and keep her up. He will be here in 15 minutes and he wants to have a time alright." I nodded and sat Riley on a bench.

"Come on Ghoulie killer, you gotta get your head in the game or someone is gonna rip your head off." She moaned and he head hung groggily.

"Actually fuck you, fuck you. I trusted, fuck you." She mumbled.

"Yeah yeah I'm an asshole fuck me, fuck me but if I were you I'd stretch he don't wanna go easy on you." She didn't move even though my constant pushing. 15 minutes later he opponent arrived and he was very please at the state she was in.

"Heh easy. Stand her up boys let's go." He walked to the centre of the make shift circle on the floor and Riley stumbled over. Quip quickly told the rules about a fair fight, they shook hands and then started.

Three punches and Riley went down. She didn't even get a chance to swing once. This 250 pound man of muscle was beating on a tiny fragile girl. She was dazed and afraid and confused. There was a lot of blood more blood then I thought was okay.

"Quip he is gonna kill her! Call it! Call it right now!" Quip called out signalling the end but he didn't stop. Two people had to haul him off Riley and back into a corner. I ran out to the ring and picked up Riley. Some how she was still conscious.

"Are you okay?" I asked she gave me a weak smile.

"Hey Pea." She giggled at me. I was confused. Then she leaned up and kissed me. I didn't pull away, her mouth was bloody and she was bleeding but her lips were so soft and it was so good to kiss her. "Take me home sweet Pea." Oh shit she thinks I'm someone else,. Did she tell me she had a boyfriend? I don't remember.

"Riley it's me Axel. I'm bringing you back to my place you have another fight in 5 hours we need you to recover and be good by then. Think you can do it?" I asked her still kind of high off the kiss.

"Hell Yeah bring on the money!" She giggled. She was out of it from the drugs and the punches. I carried her out to my car and laid her in the passenger seat. She was too out of it to remember the where she was anyways so I just drive her to my house. I still feel bad, but that kiss man. It's hard to feel bad when I can think about that.

Riley's POV

My head was pounding when I jolted up in bed. But wait not my bed, not Peas bed, where the hell was I? I looked around for awhile until I heard noises coming from another room of the... house? I stood up but was immediately dizzy and fell back in the bed. I closed my eyes and stumbled out the doorway to be meet with Axel bringing in a glass of water.

"Riley your up! How, how do you feel?" He asked hesitantly. I was tired and dizzy so my replies were short and blunt. I still didn't know how I got here.

"Tired, dizzy, how the hell did I get here? And where is here?" When I asked that he froze.

"Do you remember anything at all?" I slowly shook my head as it hurt to much to move it fast. "Well you had a fight and passed out so I brought you to my place." I nodded but then realization struck, I fight at midnight it must be like 3 am by now. F.P is probably so worried and so is Sweet Pea.

"Bro take me home it's really late!" He looked at my confused before he realized.

"Actually you have two fights today, you had a rematch earlier." He looked at the ground not meeting my eyes, so,etching suspicious was going on.

"I do t remember that. Did I win?" He shook his head.

"But here." He passed me 5 crumpled hundred dollar bills. "What you earned." He stated. He then passed me the glass of water and disappeared down the hallway again. I followed him.

"I need pain killers." I whined. Axel nodded silently before passing me them. "So I have to fight again?" I wa shopping he would let me off with it but he nodded.

"Sorry Riley." He shrugged.

"What if I refuse? You can't force me in the ring." He tensed up a considerable amount at this. Why is he being so weird?

"Don't refuse Riley, now sleep you have a fight in 2 hours, go lay down if you don't want to get your ass beat." I obeyed and walked back to the room I woke up in. I could use a nap.
