Beckham's P.O.V

I walked down to the Serpent headquarters. I saw Jughead standing there making him a little confused.

"Beckham, what are you doing here?" Jughead asked me.

"I need to talk to Sweet Pea," I tell him.

"Why?" Sweet Pea asked me. I looked over at him with a frown.

"You need to stay the hell away from Adeline," I warned.

"You can't tell me what to do," Sweet Pea tells me as he got closer. Jughead and Fangs moved close in front of us to prevent a fight.

"You can't win her back. She's already moved on," I tell him.

"What makes you say that?" Sweet Pea asked me.

"Because she's already planning to move away from Riverdale," I explained.

"She's leaving?" Sweet Pea asked me.

"Just stay away from her. Or else," I threatened before leaving.

Adeline's P.O.V

I looked around at Archie's new gym members. I had brought in some lunch that I made to help feed them. Assuming from the fact that they all got out of juvenile prison thanks to Archie and Veronica, I figured that they needed a decent meal.

"Thanks for the lunch, Adeline," Archie said.

"No worries. Let me know if you need anything else," I tell him.

"Maybe just support for the other guys. Maybe help them with school?" Archie suggested.

"I got you. Maybe you guys could teach me how to fight," I said before lightly punching his shoulder.

"Alright," Archie chuckled.

"I can take you boys down," I joked.

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah."

Archie picked me up and threw me over his shoulder. I started to laugh really loud as Archie held me over his shoulder.

"Who's this?" I heard. Archie put me down before putting an arm around my shoulders.

"Mad Dog. This is my little sister, Adeline. Adeline, this is Mad Dog," Archie introduced.

"The famous Mad Dog. Archie hasn't shut up about you since he got out of juvie," I said before shaking Mad Dog's hand.

"Adeline will be helping around with the cleaning, food, and tutoring. She's really smart and she can help everyone get back on track," Archie said.

"I'm here and so is my boyfriend, Beckham. We will be able to help anyone who is need of tutoring or in general," I tell the boys around me.

"Might need some help later then," Mad Dog chuckled.

"Well don't be shy. I'm here to help. I gotta go however. I will you guys later," I tell them before leaving the gym.

The next day, Beckham and I were busy cleaning up the gym while Archie and the others were sparring each other. I heard slow clapping the moment Archie and Mad Dog were done fighting. Looking over, I saw some guy in a suit. 

"What the hell are you doing here, Elio?" Archie asked.

"Who's Elio?" Beckham asked me.

"I have no idea."

"I heard this old gym had reopened. Thought I'd drop by. Quite the stable of fighters you got here. If I'm not mistaken, I've seen a few of these faces before," Elio said.

"May I ask, who are you and what are you doing here?" I asked. Elio looked over at me and smirked.

"The name's Elio Grande. What's your name, beautiful?" He asked. 

"She's taken," Beckham said as he stood in front of me. 

"Archie. Explain," I said, looking up at him.

"He's a crook. No one you need to know," Archie told us.

"I'm a boxing manager looking for new talent. So, the moment you boys wanna start earning some cash money, come see me at Casa Grande Gym," Elio told us.

"You a boxing manager?" I scoffed. 

"Elio, no one here is looking for your business. Okay? So take a hike. Leave, or I'll throw your ass out myself," Archie threatened.

"He's so prissy," I scoffed as I started to clean up again. 

After helping out at Archie's gym, Beckham and I sat on some swings at the park. We had a picnic together and now we were enjoying each other's company.

"Archie's gym is looking really good," Beckham told me. 

"Yeah. But kudos to us for cleaning it up," I tell him.

"I have a question for you," Beckham asked.

"What?"

"Do you still talk to Sweet Pea?"

"Not really. I told him that I couldn't be with him. Besides, I have you," I tell him.

I heard my phone buzz making me take it out and look at it. I saw Archie calling me.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Adeline, is Beckham with you?"

"Yes why?"

"I need to talk to him."

"Okay." I handed my phone to Beckham. 

"Hello? Hey Archie... Uh, sure. What's up? Yeah I can help you out... Got it... See you in a bit." Beckham hung up before giving me back my phone. 

"I need to help your brother out with something. I'll drop you off home," Beckham told me.

"Okay," I shrugged. I'm sure that whatever it was, I really hoped that it wasn't illegal.
