Next Morning

I wake up to my phone ringing and it's my dad
"Dad, what's up?" I ask answering my phone
"Head to the Cooper House, everyone's meeting here" he says and I get up starting to get dressed before walking back into Sweet Pea's room and he's sitting in his bed going through his phone.
"Hey" I say and he looks up
"Leaving so soon?" he asks and I get on his bed and crawl over to him
"Wish I didn't have to but my dad called. Plus, we both have school" I say and he kisses me gently
"Okay" he says
"I'll see you later. Okay?" I say and he nods as I kiss him
I head to my place and get changed, hiding the jacket in my cupboard before going next door to see Reggie, Kevin, Josie, Veronica Archie and Betty as well as Mrs Mantle, Hiram, Hermione, my dad, Mayor McCoy, Sheriff Keller and Mrs Cooper. Well duh it's Mrs Cooper's house.
"Sorry I'm late" I say
"Are we stating an intervention?" I ask
"Lily" Mrs Mantle says
"Mrs Mantle, nice to see you again" I say with a smile
"Lily, stand with your father please" Alice says
"Sure" I say standing next to my father
"Riverdale's best and brightest, huh?" Alice asks putting a tray down on the coffee table
"Alice, thank you for hosting" Mayor McCoy says
"Of course, Mayor McCoy. When I heard what happened at Nick's party I decided we should come together to deal with this motley crew of liars, dope fiends and fornicators. Except for my Betty who was smart enough to leave the party before it descended into a bacchanalian free for all" Alice says and my eyes widen at the big words
"Oh my god. Mom, please don't" Betty mumbles and Veronica starts whispering
"Just for clarity Alice, you're hosting this little get together to gloat?" my dad asks
"I wasn't at Nick's Party. Wasn't invited" I state
"Then why are you here?" Mayor McCoy asks
"Cause Lily needs to be made aware of the consequences of what her friends have done" my dad says and I keep my mouth shut, not bringing up that I'm not talking to Reggie cause of my break up with him.
"Careful throwing stones there Acid Queen Alice. I'm not the only one in this room that knows the story behind that mug shot that your daughter printed in her paper" Hiram says and I bite my tongue because I will start a riot if I don't.
"Well I for one would like to know who brought the jingle jangle to the party" Hermione says
"Jingle Jangle, are you guys stupid?" I ask and look to Archie before Reggie raises his hand
"Reginald, not a single word out of your mouth until we get a lawyer" Mrs Mantle says
"No. All Reggie needs to tell us, Melinda, is how he acquired it." Hiram says
"Some gang member who deals on the Southside" Reggie says
"Oh my god, you have a dealer?" Mrs Mantle asks and looks to me
"Did you know about this?" she asks me
"This is as much a surprise to you as it is to me, not only is my brother an idiot but my ex boyfriend is too" I say
"Once again Mayor, the Southside is the source of all our problems." Hiram says
"Is he a Serpent? Does he go to Southside high?" Sheriff asks
"I can't do this" I say
"Lily" Reggie says
"You're such a hypocrite Reg. Saying that the problem is the Southside. Dilton wasn't stabbed by a Serpent and you know it. We both saw it" I say
"Lily" he says
"The idiot stabbed himself in the leg" I say
"Just cause you have a thing for one of them doesn't mean you can turn on us" he says
"Don't you dare bring Sweet Pea into this" I say
"You broke up with Reggie for a Serpent?" Mrs Mantle says
"I broke up with Reggie cause I was just another piece of ass to him and because of this" I say lifting up my dress sleeve to reveal the bruise on my arm and my dad goes to walk over to Reggie but I hold him back
"You stay away from my daughter" he says and Mayor McCoy scolds Josie for taking Jingle Jangle
"From this moment on bringing the Southside under control is my number one priority as Mayor. If it means razing it to the ground or arresting every single Serpent in sight, starting at that high school, so be it." she says and I walk out of the house grab my Serpent Jacket from my place and run to Southside high
"Lily?" Toni questions
"Get out of here" I say
"Why?" she asks
"Mayor McCoy's about to raid Southside High, you gotta get out of here. Find Jughead. I gotta find Sweet Pea" I say and she nods as I run and find Sweet Pea. I grab his hand and pull him away from all the commotion.
"What's going on Lily?" he asks and I just continuously pull at him
"Run now, questions later" I say as we head out the back door and get on his bike
"Where are we going?" he asks
"Go to my place and we'll hide your bike in the garage" I say and he nods
When we get to mine I call Jughead and he picks up straight away
"You okay?" he asks
"Yeah, did Toni find you?" I ask
"Yeah. We got her out. How about Sweet Pea?" he asks
"Sweet Pea is with me" I say
"Okay" he says
"Alright. Talk to you later?" I ask
"Yeah" he says and I hang up before opening the front door and seeing my dad
"Dad" I drag out
"You're a Serpent?" he asks
"Yeah" I say
"Is he the reason you joined?" he asks
"No, Sweet Pea isn't the reason. I wanted this. I needed this." I say and he sighs but nods
"I'm Fred Andrews" my dad introduces himself
"Sweet Pea" he says and they shake hands
"You're gonna take care of my daughter when she's on the Southside right?" he asks
"I'll take care of her regardless" he says
"Come take a seat" he says and I hug my dad
"Thank you" I say
"As much as I don't like it, I know you'll be safe" he says
"We aren't the ones dealing the Jingle Jangle sir. The Ghoulies, the rival gang on the Southside are." Sweet Pea says and he nods when I get a call from Jughead
"Jug, what's going on?" I ask
"Tallboy wants us to evolve with the Ghoulies" he says
"What? Like merge them?" I ask
"Yeah. What do I do?" he asks
"How am I supposed to know?" I ask grabbing Sweet Pea's hand, dragging him upstairs into my room and closing the door
"What's going on?" he asks and I put Jughead on speaker
"So Tallboy wants us to merge the Ghoulies and the Serpents? What would we be called? Who would lead?" I ask
"What do we do to stop it?" Sweet Pea asks
"Talk to FP. He'll know what to do" I say.
"You're genius" Jug says
"Give me updates" I say and he tells me he will before we hang up

"You're genius" Jug says"Give me updates" I say and he tells me he will before we hang up
