Sweet Pea POV.

Chapter One.

Thoughts of Josie run through my mind. She is all I want when I wake up in the morning. I roll over in my tiny ass bed, wishing I could have that beautiful woman by my side. She made me feel good. Knowing that I would always have someone there, made me feel good. Now, knowing that I am always alone, I have to clutch to the Serpents more than ever.

I roll over and step out of bed, washing my face in the tiny sink. I flip my greasy hair back and groan as my morning glory doesn't at all satiate. I lean against the wall of my trailer, looking around the messy situation that I have going on in here. I have to clean up this place. I start with the clothes on the floor and throw them on my bed. Then I grab some of my dishes and put them in the sink. At least I can pick some stuff up off of the floor.

Then I hear a knock on the door.

I look down and see that I am all good in the morning glory department and open the door. Jones.

"What is the Serpent King himself doing at my door?" I ask.

"I need you on duty tomorrow. And…what the hell is going on here?" he asks, looking in my trailer.

"Nothing, man," I say with a shrug.

"Nothing? Why does your trailer look like a bomb went off?" he asks. "Dude, come on. Get it together."

"I know, I know."

I look behind me and see a messy, dirty trailer. I tried to fix it but I didn't get very far. I should have fixed it. I should have cleaned it up. But it is just another thing I need to do. My homework. The Serpents. Doing whatever Jones or Betty need me to do. Trying to get Josie back. Losing Fangs to the farm. All the while, trying to feel wanted and needed and loved.

"Is something wrong?" he asks, leaning toward me. He's good. He figures shit out quick.

"I'm good, man," I say.

"Sweet Pea," he says. "I'm your friend. I know I'm not Fangs but come on. You can tell me what's going on."

"A lot," I mutter.

"What do you need from me?" Jones asks. "Do you want less time on the field? Do you need me to replace my right hand? I get it if there is too much on your plate."

He actually wants to help me. Why would he want that?

"No," I say right away. That is the last thing that I want to do. I need the Serpents. I need Jughead. And I need to be his right hand. Otherwise, I have nothing left. "I can still do that. I just…I haven't talked to my family in a while. Fangs is wrapped up in the farm and Josie is ignoring every text and call that I give her."

"Sweet Pea," Jones says.

I look up at him, realizing that I am rambling. He knows that I am upset but I don't normally show that. He knows me too well.

"I get that losing Fangs and Josie sucks," he says. "I know what it's like. But listen, they are not gone forever and you have plenty of people around you. Come on, man. You have the Serpents. Hang out with Betty and I today."

Good idea. I need to relax and hang out with other people like the Serpents, maybe just not on duty all the time.

"Get dressed," he says with a grin. "And clean the hell out of your place, Sweet Pea."

I nod. He's right. I really should.

"Meet us at Pop's tonight at seven," he says.

"Sure," I say.

Jughead turns to leave and I grab his arm. He turns back around, shocked. I am surprised at myself too. It hurts a little, knowing that I'll be alone again. I hate being alone and that is all I ever am.

"Thank you," I say.

He nods.

"You're my right hand man," he says. "No need to thank me."

I nod before he leaves. I close the door and get myself together, throwing on a shirt and pants. I put my jacket on over my arms and fix up my space. I have to put my clothes away, wash the dishes, scrub down the toilet and fix the few things that have broken or that I have just thrown around. After it's all fixed, it makes me feel a little better. I fix the pictures of my sister and mom on my side table and the American flag on my window. Then I dust off the blinds and the top ridge of the trailer.

I get a text from Betty.

Betty: You coming to dinner with Jug and I tonight?

Me: yeah. That ok?

Betty: Definitely.

I sit around most of the day, bored, watching stuff on my phone and working out. After I have done my fifth set of pull ups, I decide to be done. I can't stand just sitting around here. Not hanging out with Fangs or Josie, I have no one else and it just makes me feel worse. My phone dings.

Betty: I have someone that is looking for you.

Me: Who?

Betty: Come to Serpent thrones.

I slip my shoes on and lock the trailer behind me. I will not have someone stealing my shit. It's valuable to me. I jog across tent city until I get to the center where the thrones are. Betty is standing across from me, facing someone else that I cannot make out. Jughead is on the other side, talking to the same person.

"What's going on, Betty?" I ask.

Jughead looks up at me and Betty turns around, still blocking the person that is between them. Jones puts his hand on her and then nods, walking over to me. I try to jog over but he puts his hand on my shoulder.

"Sweet Pea, something happened," he says.

"What?" I demand.

"I need you to promise that you won't freak out and try to kill someone," he says.

"Alright, yeah, I promise," I say. "What's going on?"

I'm scared suddenly. This has to do with me. This is real. I squeeze my hands into fists, trying to look over Jughead and at whomever Betty is talking to.

"Should I tell him?" Jughead asks, looking over his shoulder. Betty turns around and nods, looking sympathetic and so sorry. I want to ask her what is wrong but I think they are going to tell me anyway.

I try to look at whoever that is a couple of times before Jughead squeezes my shoulder and looks me dead in the eyes.

"Sweet Pea," he says. "I'm so sorry. Your mom died."
