Maybe that’s why she’s dead (Sweet Pea x Reader Part 6)
I’m so awful with organisation so apologies but here’s the last part, hope you enjoy.
WARNING: Graphic descriptions of abuse & an attack.
You hadn’t tried to run, and you thought you could at least pride yourself on that. Around ten ghoulies had backed you into a corner, you hadn’t even realised where you’d ended up, you’d been too angry. ‘Stupid stupid stupid’ you thought to yourself, realising you’d entered Ghoulies territory and, as a Jones, you were easily recognisable as a serpent. They teased you, before starting to push you and eventually punching, kicking- anything they could do to hurt you. You did try to fight back, but they were too many of them. Eventually you found yourself in the position of being held by two of them, whilst someone spoke to you- you soon recognised him as Malakye. He started moving close to you, almost an inch from you and you moved forwards to bite at him. He moved running a hand along your waist and feeling the vibrations of your phone and as he answered it, he started laughing.
You leaned forward to bite at him again but he simply tutted at you, grabbing your hair with one hand and your chin with the other whispering “You deserve the kiss of death”. And as his lips descended on yours you felt a knife plunge its sharp edge into your front and as he pushed his as far as he could one entered your back. Your scream sounded distant, you could feel as the knives entered and exited you like you were a piece of meat. Then finally as he moved away both knives were pulled from your body and you were dropped to the floor screaming in agony.
Jughead had his and Sweet Pea’s blood covering his knuckles. By the time he finally stopped punching the boy to take a breath, Pea had cuts surrounding his face and a black eye already forming. It was at that moment that Jug realised Pea hadn’t even attempted to fight back, he looked towards his form which had now sat up and grasped his phone. Jug started trying to apologise, realising he’d got carried away, but his apologies fell on deaf ears. At that moment he found that Pea was trying to talk to you, calling you but as the phone was answered all you could hear were screams and laughing.
They knew you had been there, Jug had realised straight after his first punch landed on Sweet Pea’s jaw because he’d heard you scream. Similarly to the scream coming from the phone.
As Jughead came to his realisation, Pea was long gone, he’d grabbed your knife from the table and as he was spitting blood began to run to his bike. He could hear Jughead shouting, trying to see if he would be able to do anything, help search or back up- but the only thought on Pea’s mind was how scared you sounded and he had left the phone answered meaning your screaming was torturing him. He realised at this point as he was speeding down the road to where he could only hope you’d gone, that he’d never told you he loved you- and that with you being hurt he’d broken the promise he made to you and himself.
He heard your screms turn to whimpers and the laughing grew ever so distant over the phone, he had tried so hard to get to you but he could hear your breath slowing. He pulled up at the side of the road and brought the phone to his ear.
“Y/N hey, Baby, where are you? You need to tell me okay? It’s important” he said as gently as possible, tears had already started streaming his face. You had repeated the address to him as best you could and begged that he arrived soon and called an ambulance to the same address. He did so, calling an ambulance before setting back off, speeding to get to you.
As he came to the corner where you’d told him you were he saw blood in the rain as it leaked away from a limp body on the floor. He rushed over- his bike long forgotten as he knelt down to cradle your head. Your eyes slowly opened to see him above you and you smiled as a tear leaked down the side of your face.
“You found me Pea” you uttered, blood starting to leak out your mouth as you coughed. He tried calming you, mumbling soothing words as his tears dropped to you.
“Of course I found you, I’ll always find you no matter what okay sweetheart? You know that don’t you?” He said, despearately trying to remain calm but he could see the life slipping out of you, he had held your hand and placed pressure over the large stab wound he’d seen but there was blood leaking through your intertwined fingers.
“Hey, hey, hey, don’t close those beautiful eyes! The ambulance is on its way, you’ve got this baby”. He encouraged yet although the smile on your face grew for a split second, it quickly disappeared as your eyes slid shut, a final tear escaping. He could hear the ambulance and heaved you into his arms- seeing your blood start to flow as his hands left your wound. His tears were coming harder and faster and he couldn’t help letting out sobs. Then he saw the ambulance and rushed towards it. As it stopped two paramedics brought out a stretcher after seeing Sweet Pea cradle your lifeless form. They kept asking him questions but everything was moving too slowly and he couldn’t focus. Now, all he remembers is climbing into the ambulance, gripping your hand as tight as he could as he watched them try to revive you.
It was agonising as there and then, they pronounced you dead. He finally allowed the sobs to wreak through his body as he realised he had been there, he could have saved you but he didn’t. He started letting words slip out as he choked on his sobs.
“I loved you, I love you Jones. Please don’t leave me, you can’t do this baby please” as they arrived at the hospital they had to pull him from your body as they covered your face. He didn’t stop crying that day.
He had to call your father and your brother to explain to them. FP didn’t even say anything afterwards, just hung up the phone. Jughead had started crying, telling Pea he would meet him at the hospital.
FP, although ignoring Pea over the phone, had arrived at the hospital in no time- explaining who he was to the staff. He saw Pea and strode over before barking questions at him. Pea didn’t have the energy to respond before a nurse approached them asking who was next of kin. FP looked down as Jughead and Tall Boy arrived, the nurse repeated the question as Tall Boy answered.
Your father fell to the chair next to Sweet Pea as they both overheard the nurse talking about Tall Boy identifying the body. Pea hadn’t stopped crying and it looked like your brother hadn’t either, but FP didn’t have a single tear on his face- it was straight and his eyes unmoving.
All of a sudden, he stood and stormed out, punching the wall and shouting inaudibly. Pea didn’t even flinch at the angry man- he stood and walked to the bathrooms washing his face, and hands, after seeing your blood covering them. He watched as the crimson swirled in the sink before taking his shirt and running it under the tap, scrubbing at it with the water as the sink soon became a bath of crimson. He appeared to be calm, before someone came in and he instantly smashed the mirror- it was all his fault.
After that, he was taken to be treated for the cuts on his face and now his hand. But he only remembers this in a blur. From now on, the only thought entering Sweet Pea’s mind would be you, and how you didn’t know how much he loved you.
