Fire and Flames

V calls me and says that Reggie is with our half sister.

I was at pops with sweet pea when Reggie came in
"You motherfucker" I said standing up I walked over to me "first me then Veronica now our half sister do you just have a thing for the lodge women what you gonna date my mom next" I yell at him
"You guys are hot and none of you can get enough of me so maybe it's something with your family" he says

"You make me sick" I growl
"No that's the baby inside of you" he says and grabs him food and leaves

Sweets stays at the wyrm while I went to the school and graded things.

I stayed until it got dark once I got home I sat with sweet pea. I climbed into his lap and kissed him I laid my head on his shoulder and traced his serpent tattoo "what are you thinking about?" He asked me

"I was thinking about how I never expected my life to turn out like this" I say back

"Is that a good thing or a bad thing?" He asks me and I lift my head up and look at him "it's the best thing" I say

"Marry me" he says and I stop and look at him "what?" I ask chuckling
"I'm serious let's get married we can go to the courthouse if you don't want a huge wedding but I would like one. We are having a kid we should be married" he says to me

"I-" I start

"You don't have to answer right now I know I'm just dropping this on you we haven't talked about getting married or anything but let me know what you decide. I'll still love you anyway I promise" he says

We ended up going to bed

I get woken by Jughead calling me

"Hello?" I answer
"Hey Betty has been working the high way and she's out there all alone. Tabitha said I'm not allowed to worry since I'm going through my recovery from alcohol" Jughead says
"I'll take care of it jug just do what tabby says ok focus on yourself I don't want to see you spiral again or drink ok" I say
"Ok sorry for waking you night let me know if she's ok" he says
"I will goodnight jug" I say and Hangup

"Who was that?" Sweets asks me
"Jughead he's worried about Betty because she's being stupid and me and tabitha have to clean up their messes now" I say I kiss his head "go to sleep I'm just gonna go speak to tab ok" I say
"Ok" he says and falls back to sleep.

I get dressed in case I'm out all night looking for her.

I go to Betty's house with tabitha

She was dressed like a hooker

"Tabitha? Avery?" Betty says
"Hell no Betty" I say to her
"Jughead told us what your doing Betty" tab says
"And it's dangerous and it's reckless and no matter what we say you're not going to stop" I say
"We know that so we're coming with you" tabby says
"Come again?" Betty says
"We're getting changed and we're going with you" I say "but I'm not having sex with random guys nor will I do drugs I'm with child and have a boyfriend so if it's not them then well you guys can have fun" I say smiling
"Our participation is non negotiable" tab says
"Yeah you cut me out for no reason Betty we are partners" I say
We go inside and change
"Guys of sweet pea asks we are just driving up and down to see if we have anything suspicious" I say
"Deal" tabitha and Betty say

As the truck drives by we put our thumbs out it honks but passes us.

"Ten nights working the lonely highway and not even a nibble" Betty says as we walk into pops as the sun is starting to rise.

"Truckers are not stopping for us though I'm sure we'd have better luck at catching our killers if we were flying solo" Betty says

"Ten quiet nights with no new murders is a win in my book" tab says
