Commitment Part Two- Fangs Fogarty Imagine
Part One
Kimberly hadn’t thought Fangs and she would have stayed broken up for as long as they had. The two having been broken up for more than a month before she even seen Fangs step into the Whyte Wyrm. That month had been the longest length of time that Kimberly had ever had. During the month Kimberly threw herself into work and school, whilst Fangs was dealing with things on his end. Fangs was consistently trying to find a way to explain to his mother that Kimberly was his girlfriend, as she was borderline insane to the point where meeting new people terrified her and made her lose her mind, change was no different.
Kimberly had been going through things at the trailer she shared with her brother when she had found a bunch of Fangs’ things. Setting the two flannel shirts, a black hoodie, a few CD’s, along with a pocket knife he had gotten from his father, and a necklace that he had bought Kimberly for their year anniversary, into a box.
“Pea?” Kimberly called as she headed into the living room carrying the box of Fangs’ things.
“Yeah?” Sweet Pea was sitting on the couch playing a video game, not glancing at his sister once she walked in.
“Can you give this stuff back to Fangs for me?” She asked stopping in the doorway and shifting on her feet knowing that Sweet Pea didn’t like getting involved in their disputes. Pausing his game, Sweet Pea turned towards his sister.
“Why are you asking when you know what the answers gonna be Kimmy?” Sweet Pea asked tossing the controller onto the table. Kimberly sighed and moved to sit on the couch next to her brother, before sitting she set the box on the table.
“I can’t see him Pea, you know that.” She said softly. “He came into the Wyrm two days ago and I left, I didn’t clock out or anything, I just left.” She told her brother and she leaned into the couch next to him. “I love him.”
“Why did you break up with him if you love him?” Kimberly places her head in her hands as she spoke.
“How can I expect someone to be honest and truthful with me if they couldn’t even tell their mother that we were together?” She asked. “How can I expect him to respect me when he doesn’t respect me enough to tell her? How can he love me but not tell the most important person in his life about me? How can he lie about our relationship?” Kimberly asked.
“Kimmy, you can’t let your past keep you from moving forward.” Sweet Pea said softly as she touched his sister’s shoulder. “One bad guy doesn’t make them all bad. Fangs loves you, more than anything really, the guys got it bad. But you need to talk to him, even if to get your closure.” Kimberly sighed. “I love you, you’re my sister, but Fangs is my brother, I won’t pick between the two of you.”
“That’s not happening Pea. I’m done. I don’t want to play the role of tutor in his production with his mother.” Standing from the couch she grabbed the box. “Don’t worry about it, I’ll just ask Toni to take it.” She mumbled. “And thanks for always having your sisters back.” She stated before heading back into her room where she hid for the rest of the day.

In the time that Kimberly and Fangs’ had been broken up they all transferred to Riverdale High, and to say it hadn’t been kind to them was an understatement. Kim didn’t make friends at Riverdale, nor did she hang around the Serpents anymore, so she mostly sat alone. Occasionally she would speak with the Serpents if Fangs wasn’t around, but that was rare.
Walking into Riverdale High the day after her conversation with Sweet Pea, sucked. Knowing now that she was no longer valued as the most important person in her brother’s life, sucked. Knowing that she and Fangs were held to the same height sucked. Sweet Pea was her brother, he was supposed to have her back no matter what.
“Toni!” Kimberly called rushing towards the pink haired girl.
“Hey Kim, and no, I won’t return Fangs’ things to him, SP already called me.” Kimberly groaned as she fell into step with her.
“Come on Toni, do me a solid.” She whined. “Pea won’t do it.”
“For good reason Kim.” Toni looked to the younger girl. “You two need to talk at some point. Straighten things out because it’s going to kill the three of you, and I mean three. Even though Sweet Pea said he won’t choose between the two of you, eventually he will and it’ll be you, you’re blood.” Toni stated. “You’re his baby sister, and if he has to choose, think of what it will do to them, to the Serpents. It’s not just Fangs’ life that would get thrown upside down, all of ours will.” Toni gave her a tight smile before moving down the hall and away from her. Kimberly stood in the hallway for awhile before moving to her classes.
When school came to an end she had her mind made up. She wouldn’t make Sweet Pea choose between her and Fangs. Kimberly worked her shift at the Wyrm before heading over to Fangs trailer that he shared with his mother. Upon arrival she took his box of things out of her passenger seat and headed to the front door, knocking she waited until his mother opened the door.
“Kimberly, how are you?” Ms.Fogarty asked.
“I’m well, is Edward here?” She asked as Ms. Fogarty nodded and moved aside.
“Yes, come in dear. What’s in the box? Oh tea, I left my tea in the bathroom.” She stated airily before heading away from Kim and to the bathroom. Kim stood there for a moment before hearing Fangs’ bedroom door open and out he came. He stopped light a deer caught in headlights at the sign of Kim.
“What are you doing here?” He asked frozen in the entrance way.
“Oh, I uh,” Kimberly shifted on her feet and held out the box of his things. “you um, left this stuff at my place.” She said softly. “I figured you’d want it back.” She set the box on the island counter that sat next to her in the open kitchen. “There’s a couple shirts, a hoodie, a few CD’s, and your dad’s pocket knife.” She stated. “If you think there’s anything else, just let me know.”
“Kim,” Fangs went to talk but she held her hand up.
“Stop, please.” She shook her head. “I get it, okay? You don’t want to tell her, and that’s fine. But this no talking thing, us not being civil, well it’s just not gonna work for me anymore.” She stated. “You’re my brothers best friend, and I’m not making him choose between us, so we’re gonna grow up and actually stand being in each other’s presence again, if you’re not ashamed to even be in the same room as me, that is.”
“That’s a low blow and you know it. I was never ashamed of you.” Fangs stated looking into the box of his things.
“Could have fooled me Edward.” She stated crossing her arms. “You have my red pull over hoodie and my fleece lined sweater.” Fangs nodded.
“They’re in my closet, you’re welcome to grab them.” Kimberly did just that, and when she came out, Fangs was holding the small necklace that had a heart on it that he had given Kimberly. “You’re giving me your necklace back?” His voice cracked as he looked to her. “Kim, I gave this to you cause I lo-“ Fangs cut himself off upon his mother coming back into the room a cup of tea in her hand and a sweater on backwards. “Can we continue this later?” He begged Kim who just shook her head.
“No, we can’t.” She stated holding her clothes to her chest. “There’s nothing left to talk about.” Looking between Fangs and his mother she sighed and moved to walk past him. “I know where I stand now, okay? Don’t worry, I get it, I never would have been enough anyways.” She spoke softly to him before glancing at the necklace one last time. “Give that to someone you’d be proud to tell your mother about.” Kimberly closed her eyes before finally heading out the door and going home.

“Kim.” Sweet Pea tried again knocking on his sisters’ door. Since she had come home from Fangs’ house, she had locked herself in her room. Sweet Pea was at his wits end, stepping onto the porch he immediately called Fangs. “Bro.”
“What’s up man?” Fangs answered.
“Kim is locked in her room and refuses to come out, did something happen man?”
“She came over like an hour ago and we talked, correction she talked, didn’t give me much of a chance. Said something about not making you choose between us.” Fangs mentioned as Sweet Pea sighed. “I really can’t help you man, she wants nothing to do with me anymore.”
“Fangs.” Sweet Pea pinched his nose. “You’re being an idiot, you’re really willing to lose Kim because of your mother? Your mother who loves my sister as if she were her own. Your mother who won’t even care that you’re dating her.” He stated.
“Man, you know how my mom is.”
“If you love my sister like you say, you’ll fix this.” Sweet Pea hung up the phone. It was over an hour later before Fangs pulled up to the trailer, Sweet Pea coming out and pointing at the house where Kim was sobbing in her room still. “Fix this.” Fangs held his hand up and headed inside. Pushing open Kim’s door and causing her to jump.
“Get out.”
“Get up Kimberly, we’re fixing this now.” He stated tossing a hoodie and leggings at her. “Change and lets go.” Fangs moved to the living room and waited; Kimberly came out five minutes later in fresh clothes. “Come on.” Frangs grabbed her hand and began leading her out to his bike before taking her towards where he lived with his mother.
“What are we doing here Fangs?” Kim asked as she climbed off his bike, Fangs didn’t speak, just grabbed her hand and led her inside.
“Mom.” Fangs spoke walking in.
“Edward, sweetie, you just left!” She spoke smiling at him. “Oh Kimberly! It’s lovely to see you again!” Fangs stopped in front of his mother and motioned to Kim.
“Kim and I are dating, have been for a while, I’m in love with her.” Fangs mother stared at him and nodded.
“Oh sweetie, I know you are. Oh I forgot the cookies.” She moved to the kitchen as Fangs towards Kimberly.
“I tried telling you earlier that I was all in but you didn’t give me the chance.” Kim stared at the boy in front of her before hastily kissing him.
“I love you.” She spoke softly. “But you ever make me wait this long for you I’ll drive your bike into Sweetwater River.”
I’m sorry that this took over two months to finish this my loves! As always, thank you for reading my lovelies.
