Hazel "We need a doctor!" I beg as we walk through the hospital doors. Jughead repeats my words until a doctor helps Fangs onto a burnt and takes him into surgery.
I put my hand over my stomach instinctively to calm myself down. I notice Jughead trying to leave the hospital. "Jug, where are to going" I put a hand on his shoulder. "Going to find the guy who shot Fangs" he growls.
"You're not going out there, not with people rioting, look you're angry we're all angry. We want justice we have a fallen soldier here and we need to talk to his family, that's part of being a leader." his father interrupts.
"Some leader I am" Jughead rebuked. "Jug, don't go there" I reply. He hangs his head as his dad puts a hand on both of our shoulders, leading us back into the waiting room.
Mr. Jones walks away to talk to the doctor. Jughead walks towards me with his phone in his hand. "Sweet Pea and the others are at the school we have to go" he says taking my arm.

"Sweet pea only listens to you, please be careful." Jughead says. I take a deep breath before opening one of the back doors of Riverdale High.
I hear the loud stomps of motorcycle boots and spray paint. The voice of my boyfriend boomed through the hallways. I hated when he yelled, it brought back too many flashbacks.
"Now you get to watch as we burn your school to the ground" the father of my child declared. I quickly turn the corner and open my mouth in protest.
"Sweet Pea, please don't" The bulldogs and Serpents look back at me. "Baby please" I beg with tears in my eyes. He looks at me with confusion and worry in his eyes.
He's known me long enough to know that I won't let him go through with this. Just as tears are about to leave my eyes Sweet Pea closes the lighter and tells the serpents to back off.
He jogs over to me and I wrap my arms tightly around his neck, his around my waist. I pull back and place my hands on each side of his face. "Please don't ever do something like that again" I whisper.
"I'll try" he sighs. "Promise me" I plead. He simply looks away. I lower my feet back to the ground and start to walk out of the school.
The ride back to the Whyrm was silent between us, how could he raise a family with a hard head.
We enter the bar and Sweet Pea and Jughead Starr a fight about what to do with the Ghoulies.
Fp walks in with his head down. "Fangs- he didn't make it" he states. My breathing stops and my legs go numb. The strong arms of my boyfriend catch me and turn me to his chest. I cry silently, or at least attempt to.
"And hell yeah we will mourn him, but right now it sounds like we have a decision to make" he shouted. "All those against going to war with the ghoulies" no one. "And all those for giving them hell on the battlefield tomorrow"
Everyone but me and Jughead raises their hand. "What wrong Hazel, don't wanna get your hands dirty?" A teen serpent asks. I didn't want to just blurt out my situation so I kept my mouth shut.
"She can't fight" Sweet Pea growls. "Oh yeah why not?" He mocks. "None of your business" Sweet Pea grumbled.
My eyes dart between Cheryl and the argument. "Stop!" I shout gathering everyone's attention. "I'm pregnant" I sigh. Everyone in the room gasps but Cheryl.
"What?" Toni asks. "Don't you hear her? Sweet Pea got her knocked up" a serpent mocks. Sweet Pea charges at him, grabbing him by his collar, mumbling insults. "Sweets" I groan.
He pushes the guy against the wall one more time before turning to me, then leaving for the bathroom. I begin to feel sick but the bathroom was taken so I had to go out the back.
Any food I had eaten was now on the pavement. Suddenly a bag is thrown over my head and I am dragged into the bed of a truck.
