Knee Socks *Sweet Pea* (Discontinued)

Chapter 22

      Jughead as been hell bent on trying to out Hiram Lodge, in anyway that he can, at least in the Blue and Gold he is trying to, even teaming up with Betty and her mom, while that was going on, Hiram was sinking his claws deeper and deeper into my family. Which is causing a wedge pushing deeper into Archie and I's relationship, because I don't trust Hiram one single bit. I had just gotten home from Sweet Pea's, Archie and Uncle Fred stood in the kitchen.

"Hey, Rox." Fred called out as soon as he saw me. I shot them a tight smile before going to run up the steps into my room. "Now, hold on a second. It's been a while since I saw you, let alone talk to you." I stopped in my tracks throwing my head back.

"You know exactly the reason behind that." I say to them, as I stared down the hallway at the guys. "You know I do not trust Hiram Lodge, he's a scumbag ass hole, who is buying the whole town out from under everyone."

"I told you, she's been hanging out with those Serpents for too long." Archie whispered.

"Excuse me?" I hissed, I marched down the hallway towards him. "Don't you dare try to use the Serpents to justify how I feel! Sweet Pea, Jughead, Toni, F.P and Fangs have NOTHING to do with how I feel. Hiram Lodge is a conniving asshole who will not stop until someone makes him stop, or until he is dead. Your little girlfriend isn't any better." Archie walked up to me, so we were chest to chest, staring at each other. He was trying to make me back down, but it obviously wasn't working. "What? Didn't like that? She's doing mommy and daddy's work for them. As far as I am concerned she's just as conniving as her daddy." That's when all hell broke loose, pushing, hair pulling, fist flying. Uncle Fred trying to pull us apart. This fight was a long time coming, it's been building and building since the getaway.

"Enough!" Fred yelled, pulling us apart finally. "Guys!"

"Stay the fuck away from me!" I yelled at Archie. "Until you see how much of a snake Hiram Lodge is, don't talk to me, and stay the fuck away from me!" I grabbed my jackets again, and walked out the door.

"Rox! Roxanne! Come back! Roxanne!" Fred yelled as I ran out the door and down the street, I could feel blood leaking from my lip and my eyebrow.

       I arrived at the Whyte Wyrm where everyone was, I walked in the door and looked around, Sweet Pea and Fangs were playing pool, Toni managing the bar, F.P was talking with Jughead.

"Rox!" I heard Fangs call out, him and Sweet Pea came jogging over.

"What the hell happened?" Sweet Pea questioned, his large hands held my face.

"Archie and I got into a fight and it got pretty physical, as you can tell." I huffed out, pushing his hands off my face. I wipe my lip with the back of my hand. My eyes wandered over to Jughead, Toni and F.P, who were watching closely. I walked over to them and sat next to Jughead, Toni had a coke waiting for me. Fangs came over carrying a first aid kit, Sweet Pea sat on the other side of me, he spun my chair around and started tending to my wounds.

"What happened?" F.P questioned.

"Family issues, I'm sure you can get the hint." I muttered out.

"You and Archie got into it, huh?" Jughead questioned. "Not surprised, all of us could feel the growing tension."

"No, really? I couldn't tell." I sassed, turning my head towards him.

"Will you hold still?" Sweet Pea hissed, his thumb and first finger grabbed my chin, turning my head back towards him swiftly.

"Gotta say, it makes you look pretty badass." Fangs added, everyone turned their heads towards him. "What?"

"What was the fight about?" F.P questioned.
