gangsta - riverdale sweet pea

67

Things were as back to normal as they could be really. I was nearing the end of my depression medication which actually worked wonders this time around luckily. I never thought I would say this after the time I've had but things were looking good.

I was living with Sweet Pea in his trailer, as FP was wary about letting me live with him again just in case penny sends people from the adoption agency to find me, then he'd go to jail and i'd be dragged straight back to the ghoulies in a heartbeat. Maybe staying at Sweet Peas house wasn't the safest either but after the incident at the bunker, which my dad sorted out, I didn't feel at peace without him.

His fingers traced over the ghoulie tattoo emblazoned into my stomach, it's ghastly design making me gip as I stared at his wandering fingertips. I pulled his hand up to my neck, holding it over the serpent tattoo and he instantly caressed it lovingly.

"This is who I am. I may not be in the gang anymore or wear the jacket, but it will always be me. I was never one of them"

"I know, I love you" He smiled, leaning down to kiss the top of my head.

"I love you more" I looked up at him with a grin.

"Impossible" He sighed, pulling me closer to him.

A few knocks rang through the trailer and we both huffed, whoever it is just ruined our cute moment and neither of us were happy.

I groaned as Sweet Pea pushed me off him and got up from the bed, however when he stood up I jumped on his back. He let out a shocked grunt before rushing towards the door with me on his back to scare me. I squealed as he ran to the door, but when he opened it there was a very nervous looking Jughead standing there. His scared eyes contrasted our happy ones, and I instantly jumped down and interrogated him.

"Who is it?" I asked, sitting down with him as he came in the trailer.

All he did was give me a side glance and I knew exactly who he meant.

Penny is back.

I gulped and looked over at Sweet Pea who had his head between his hands.

"How do you know?" I forced out, holding back my scared tears.

He didn't say anything, just took a letter out of his pocket and passed the crumpled note to me. I unscrewed it and read it aloud.

"To Dipper, were coming back for you don't worry. Don't think you can hide with your little boyfriend, because you can't. You may be wondering why we want you so much and you will find that out very soon don't you worry. If I were you, I'd come back to us sooner rather than later. I wouldn't want anything to happen to any of your friends if we can't find you. Bring yourself forward and nobody gets hurt. Mom"

I crumpled the note and threw it across the room with an angered scream, kicking the wooden coffee table out of my way as I stormed towards the door.

Angry Ally was here, and god was she more dangerous than sad or innocent Ally.

"Al, where are you going?" Sweet Pea shouted after me.

"Where do you think!?" I snapped, not wanting to shout at him but my blood was boiling.

"No! Ally you can't do that, we're not letting you go" Jughead ran after me, grabbing my arm to pull me back.

"I know, I'm not going alone. Come on" I nodded towards the bike.

"Where are we going?" He asked.

"Pops" I nodded, jumping on the back of Sweet Peas bike.

We drove quickly, soon enough arriving at Pops Diner, but I wasn't there for a milkshake. The two boys followed me intently, as I sped through the diner and down into the speakeasy.

"Ronnie?" I shouted, running down the stairs like a mad woman.

When we got down there, she was sat around the pool table with a drink in her hand. She was joined by Betty, Archie and Reggie who were all taking it in turns to shoot, until I rushed towards them and they looked at me seriously.

"See! I knew she'd come running back to me" Reggie smirked, opening his arms whilst one hand gripped a pool cue.

"Not the time, Mantle. Why are we here, Ally?" Sweet Pea grimaced.

"I need your help, please" I begged, looking at the four intently.

"What for, are you okay?" Betty asked, stepping forward worriedly.

"Penny is back, and she wants blood if she doesn't get me. Apparently there's a reason that she wants me back, but in all honesty I don't want to know why" I started.

"And you need our help because?..." Reggie asked cockily, leaning against the table.

"I need a gang" I said, looking at Mantle hopefully.

"No way" he retorted.

"Please, Reggie. I'll do anything, I know the serpents have a feud with the bulldogs but this is literally life or death" I begged.

"No, my bulldogs aren't a gang" He scoffed.

"Okay... well I didn't want it to come to this, but I'm sure sherif Jones, you know...my dad? would love to hear this" I smirked, pulling out my phone and clicking on the voice recording.

"i'm sure if you carry on we could find martin, make some arrangements he could finish what he started"

His voice echoed through the room and everyone stared at him in utter shock.

"Woah, dude you said that?" Archie asked, folding his arms.

"Archie, you were there and got defensive about it" I scoffed, which made him sink back.

"i'm sure if you carry on we could find martin, make some arrangements he could finish what he started"

I replayed it closer to Reggie, hoping he would get the message and agree to help me.

"Fine... fine I'll get them to help, just don't put that anywhere please" he groaned, rubbing his fingers through his hair.

"Thank you" I sighed, thanking the lord that I had kept that voice recording.
