Serpents ✔️

Chapter 54

I'm in the trailer putting away some groceries when I hear the door open, I look to see Sweet Pea, Fangs and Jug walk in. I finish putting stuff away
"Hey. I haven't made any dinner yet but you guys are more than welcome to.... what's happened" I finally turn around to see Fangs upset, Sweet Pea angry and Jug annoyed
"It's Tall Boy" Jug says and I give him a look to say 'tell me more' "he's dead"
"What? How?" I softly say sitting down knowing I would make things worse if I raised my voice
"He.... he said somethings and tried to escaped" Fangs splutters
"What did he say?"
"You don't want to know" Pea looks at me with sympathy
"Errr yeah I do. Explain all of you"
"He said that Adeline wasn't Pea's that you were hooking up with Malachai. Said that he would find you and take you for his own he also said..."
"That's enough she doesn't need to know the rest Jones" Pea says
"Errr yeah I do"
"He said" Jug takes a deep breath "he said that when you were together he slept with you more times than you knew"
"What?" I look confused
"Ella he would drug you" Sweet Pea looks at me upset as my eyes begin to water
"Guys what do we do?" Fangs nervously asks. I wipe the tears, what happened happened I'm no longer with him. I'm with Sweet Pea now and I'm happy, who knows if he was even telling the truth. I have a think of what to do then it hits me, they need alibis
"We're gonna have a party. Tonight"
"Are you sure?" Pea asks
"Yes. Jug you let the others know. I'll get music set up". We spend the next hour getting things ready for the party. Pea is sat on my chair which is next to Jugs while I'm sat on his lap eating chips. Fangs is stood next to us both and looks scared
"Baby you need to act natural. You too Fangs. Eat some food"
"I can't eat I feel sick"
"Hey guys" Jug says sitting in his chair
"We're freaking out dude" Pea says
"Just keep it together guys ok? It was an accident" jug says
"As far as anyone knows Tall Boy's been exiled. Now if we were at the Whyrm on a typical Saturday night what would we be doing?"
"Playing pool, drinking, Fangs picking up someone, us being all coupley"
"Ok so that's what we're gonna do ok. Let's get something to drink. Fangs can find someone to help him relax and I'll help you to relax" I face Pea smirking
"How are you not freaking out?" Fangs asks
"Oh I am but I'm just not showing it. Look we're gonna be fine ok? and anyway I had a phone call before you guys came back to the trailer. We can bring Adeline home in 2 days" I kiss Pea on the cheek as Jug jumps on the hood of a car
"Serpents. Listen up. We have a lot to celebrate tonight. We finally unmasked our foe, the Gargoyle king, Hiram Lodge the man in black is down for the count" the group erupt in cheers "and in 2 days time my sister Ella, the Princess, and Sweet Pea will be bringing our newest and youngest member of the Serpents home. We will finally be able to see Adeline" every starts cheering once again and chanting 'Serpents'
"In unity there is strength" I yell causing everyone else to yell back.

Suddenly we see flashing lights and sirens
"Shit" I breath out and Jug jumps off the car
"God, man, they know about Tall Boy" Fangs freaks out
"Chill Fangs we don't know that. Just calm down" I say "also never call me man again" Pea slightly chuckles. We watch as the door opens and I'm guessing the new sheriff walks out with his head down walking up to Jug, Pea, Fangs and I. Finally he lifts up his head and smiles
"Dad?" I question
"It's sheriff Jones now. Listen up" dad yells as Fangs looks instantly relieved "your looking at the new law in riverdale" everyone starts cheering. Dad walks up to us seriously "you" he points at Sweet Pea who looks terrified "unlike before I can now actually do something if you hurt my daughter" dad holds up hand cuffs and Pea laughs
"Not going to happen" Pea wraps his arm around my waist
"Now let's party" Jug yells and Toni turns up the music.
