*Y/N POV*
“What the hell Jug! I just got a text from Sweets saying you turned in a video that has Fangs and Midge hanging out in it. You know the sheriff is looking for her killer so why the fuck would you do that?”
“He fucking deserved it Y/N”
“A Serpent never betrays their own and you fucking betrayed him what’s wrong with you!”
“That goes out the window when he fucking betrayed my sister”
“What?”
“You Y/N he was fucking Midge clear as day!”
“Wait what did you see? How do you know?”
“I walked in on them, Fangs leaning close to her and I walked out he yelled but I didn’t give a shit Y/N cause if I would’ve stayed I would have knocked him out. I asked Archie and he said that they have been really close recently”
“Show me!”
“I don’t have it, remember the Sheriff does”
“You don’t just keep one file Jug, I know you. Show me now!”
“You don’t need to see it”
“Jug I swear to god if you don’t fucking show me this I will wring your neck myself!”
“Fine”
Most people didn’t know that Fangs and you were dating. The only people who really had a clue were Toni, Jughead, your father and a few other people like Reggie and Archie. You tended to keep your private life, well private. You didn’t need people butting into your business. You loved Fangs, he loved you. Dating for years does that to people. You have known Fangs since you were kids, got together at the end of middle school and have been together ever since. There was no way he would do that to you, would he? You knew deep down he wouldn’t but having your brother tell you he did, seeing it. The way the video looked threw you for a loop, but you knew you had to at least let him explain.
You drove to your trailer on your bike, Fangs outside working on his truck standing up as soon as you pulled into the driveway, just like he always did. Anger welled inside you, as soon as he came up you pushed him back. Throwing him off balance you watched him as he fell to the ground. Him not expecting it he fell to the ground.
“What the fuck is wrong with you Fogarty!” He stood up quickly.
“Y/N what the hell are you talking about”
“You Fangs! You, and Midge what am I not good enough? Had to go fuck your costar? A fucking northsider”
“Y/N what are you talking about”
“Oh, you don’t know do you?”
“Know what!”
“Jug turned in a video of you and Midge to the sheriff, has you two standing real close”
“We were running lines!”
“Huh?”
“For the musical Y/N! I wouldn’t cheat on you. I fucking swear to you I would never do that. Why would you even think that I would?”
“But Jug showed me, and, and Archie said he saw you two kiss”
“Need I remind you that Archie has been off his fucking rocker lately, he’s probably just mad he didn’t get the lead and I did. Plus that kiss was part of the scene he would have done with her if he had gotten it, which again he was probably mad that he didn’t. He made shit up babe! I fucking swear I’d never cheat on you, Fuck you gotta believe me”
You watched him turn his hands running through his hair as he kicked his wheel well cursing under his breath as he fell to the ground wrapping his arms around his legs looking up at you. “Please believe me Y/N! I, I can’t lose you not now, not after everything we’ve been through. Think baby, please remember everything the good the bad, we have been through way too much together for me to just throw it all away for some other person. I love you. I fucking love you please” At the end of it he grabbed your hand pleading for you to understand his love for you. But you knew it you always did. You yanked him up burying your head into his chest. Curling into his touch as soon as his arms wrapped around you. And then you heard it the sound of sirens coming down the road.
“No Fangs, they can’t. They can’t take you away from me!”
“Fuck this is all Jug’s fault!”
“Hey he was just trying to protect you, he loves you don’t blame him for this forgive him. Promise me you won’t be too mad at him!”
“I can’t lose you, Fogarty”
“Hey look at me” Tears streaming down your face his hands came to your cheeks wiping them away. “Everything will work out okay, they can’t prove anything. I didn’t even do anything with her”
“I don’t wanna let you go”
“Baby you have to, you can’t go to jail too.”
“I’m gonna get you out!” You watched with fearful eyes as they pulled up instantly getting out of the car Mr. Keller as gently as he could picking you up and away from Fangs as you struggled to get back to him. “Let me down!” in the commotion you got shoved to the ground.
“Stop! Don’t hurt her! she didn’t do anything! It’s gonna be okay baby!” You watched them shove him to the ground, his knife falling out of his pocket. You knew they would charge him with a weapon even though they didn’t even give him the chance to say he had it. As you were being stood up by an officer he was being shoved into a police car “I promise I’ll call you as soon as I can okay. You gotta call your dad tell him everything okay. Call Pea too I want him here with you. I love you, I love you so fucking much” Those were the last words you heard before he was being driven down the road and you were being let go hard enough to fall to the ground again. You finally registered what had happened running your hands over your face you notice the blood trickling down. You called Sweet Pea right away.
“Pea! They took him”
“Y/N slow down what are you talking about?”
“The fucking sheriff they came, they took him, I didn’t get to say goodbye Pea, I couldn’t get any words out”
“Okay, I’ll be there in a second and you can explain everything call Jug and have him call your dad while I’m on my way. I got you okay”
“Okay” You hung up on Pea right away, calling Jug and explaining everything. He told you he would take care of it and you knew you could trust him. But after you hung up you couldn’t even go inside. You barely moved. Couldn’t focus on anything. You were rocking back and forth your anxiety consuming you. You hadn’t even realized that Pea had pulled up.
“Fucking christ Y/N what happened to you”
“I, they…”
“Let’s get you inside first” You let Pea lead you inside as he made you sit on the couch. He disappeared and came back a few seconds later with medical supplies to clean your cuts.
“If they arrested him why are you the one with the cuts?” “I, they wouldn’t let me say goodbye they just stormed the driveway he, he knew he had to go he wasn’t gonna resist but they, they yanked me off him didn’t even tell us to put our hands up or anything, they shoved me to the ground before I could even think Pea”
“I’m sorry they what!”
“I…”
“Lemme clean you up okay? Did you call Jug”
“Yeah, Pea I need to get him out, I need to help him, Jug thought he, he cheated on me but I know he didn’t he wouldn’t”
“That’s why Jug turned it in!”
“He thought he betrayed me, but he was just running lines Pea, he doesn’t deserve to be in there we have to get him out”
“Lemme call Jug and see what’s going on, here” Sweet’s handed you Fang’s favorite flannel stepping out of the trailer to call your brother. You stayed still watching him out the window before he stepped back in.
“So Jug said the sheriff is holding him on a weapons charge, a knife or something”
“He fucking had it on him but they didn’t give him a chance to even say he did! He would’ve told them!”
“I know Y/N but hey the good news is they have no other evidence other than the video of him and Midge which means that they can only hold him until tomorrow night and then we can get him out, sound good”
“Yeah”
“Why don’t you go lay down”
“Alright, are you…”
“I’m not leaving you”
“Thank you”
“No need Y/N, you’re like my sister. Like I said I got you” You went into bed laying down, but of course, sleep wasn’t coming easy. Since even before you and Fangs got together, you two were always falling asleep in each other’s arms. Whether it was during a movie, at the quarry, school it didn’t matter where it was but each others arms became a safe haven for the both of you. Not being near him, not being in his arms meant no sleep. It meant your safety was gone, and with your safety being gone it means no sleep. So you decided on the rational thing. You snuck out into your trailer to see Sweet Pea asleep on the couch not even spread out just sat close to one corner his head falling to the side. You sat taking up the other side but slowly laying your head on his arm
“Can’t sleep?”
“I’m sorry I didn’t…”
“Shhh Y/N I got you, Fangs is gonna be alright I promise”
“Thank you Sweet Pea”
“Anything for my best friends girl”
You slept the best you could. Tossing and turning only a few times during the night. It wasn’t the best sleep you could have had, but at least you got a few hours. You woke up laid out on the couch Sweet Pea out of sight. You rubbed the sleep out of your eyes looking to the table to see a note. Take a shower, went to pops to grab some pancakes for us, we got school so get ready. You stared at the sloppy written note, trying to will yourself to move but failing every time. You gave up slumping into the couch as you pulled out your phone and waited for Sweet Pea to return. Sweet Pea walked through the door twenty minutes later and saw you just staring at a picture of you and Fangs on your phone he came over instantly wrapping you into a hug.
“He’s gonna be okay, I promise”
“I miss him”
“I know Y/N, but you gotta get up he’d be pissed if I let you miss school”
“You’re right”
“Damn right I’m right, now get your ass up”
“I don’t wanna” He walked into your bedroom walking out with one of Fang’s hoodies and a new pair of socks and jeans.
“At least change your clothes so we can get to school”
“Thank you”
“Like I said…”
“Shut up I know ‘I don’t have to thank you’ I get it Pea”
“Good now fucking get dressed”
The only thing motivating you to get dressed was the fact that you’d be picking Fangs up tonight. You knew the sheriff couldn’t hold him, they had no evidence that he had anything to do with Midge’s murder. You figured the day would go by pretty smoothly, simply at the least, but boy were you dead wrong. Walking into school felt like waves crashing into you over and over… Looking around people were either crying, punching there lockers, curling papers and throwing them into trash cans… or the worst writing the words killer spray-painted on Fangs’ locker.
“Pea…”
“You‘re not getting out of my sight today, let’s get your books” Your locker was next to Fangs and that’s when you saw Reggie and a few other bulldogs walk up to it. You tried ignoring them tried grabbing your books to just get out, but that didn’t happen. The shouts towards you started. “Your boyfriend is a killer, I can’t believe your boyfriend fucked Midge and then killed her, why are you with a killer, killer, killer, killer,. He deserves to be dead!” that is the one that got you. Fangs was one of the nicest people you have ever met. Wouldn’t hurt a fly unless it hurt the ones he loved. He would never kill anyone let alone Midge Klump. Hearing these people yelling, saying that he deserves to be dead shook you to your core. You stood still Reggie coming up just to throw a glass of tomato juice onto you. You know it took everything in Sweet Pea’s body for him to not knock him out right then and there. The knots in your stomach tightened as Sweet Pea pulled you down an empty hallway instantly.
“I can’t be here”
“Well duh your kind of soaked”
“This isn’t funny Pea”
“I know I’m sorry just trying to make you laugh, We are going to the Wyrm, Fangs can be mad at me all he wants your missing school”
You waited at the Wyrm the entire day, waited for your father and brother to get in. You needed to know what was going on. Pea had grabbed you some new clothes consisting of a flannel that belonged to Fangs. It was nice that he understood what you were feeling, knew what you needed. Guess that’s what best friends are for.
“You doing okay?”
“That’s a dumb question Pea”
“Y/N I’m serious talk to me”
“No, I’m not okay Pea. My boyfriend, your best friend is stuck in a fucking jail cell with god knows who. I can’t fucking do anything about it because I don’t know what the fuck is going on. We’ve been waiting here for I don’t even know how long for Jughead and my dad. Like fuck, I just want him back” As soon as you ended Jug busted in followed by your father.
“Fangs is getting out tonight”
“What!”
“Just talked to the Sheriff honey they ain’t got nothing to hold on our boy. We’re getting him out but I need you guys to round up everyone”
“Thank you dad”
“Thank your brother”
“Jug…”
“Look I’m sorry I was just trying to pro…” You pulled him into a hug.
“I know Jug, I know. So what’s the plan”
“Well, there is a riot outside of the station. The whole town is pissed, thinks that Fangs is the one who shot Midge I don’t even know how they all found out”
“Anyway, we need to create a human shield around him. We will have a truck parked have Serpents surrounding that. The rest of us will surround Fangs and walk him out. No one will be able to get to him like that. Sound good?”
“I’m in”
“Oh your not coming”
“Jug!”
“Dad…”
“Look Sweetie I know you want him to come home, but you need to stay here. I’m not risking your safety for him!”
“What about his safety dad!”
“Final decision, you are not going. Pea get in the truck, call everyone on the way. Hog eye keep an eye on my daughter”
“This is bullshit”
“Bye sweetie”
“Stay here Y/N. I promise I’ll bring him to you, Bye sis see you in a bit”
“Ugh fine I’ll fucking stay”
“Good”
“Perfect” “Sorry Y/N, I…”
“Just get my man, Pea”
You needed a plan, needed to get out of the bar but knew that hog eye wouldn’t let you that easily. But you also knew Hogeye as a drunk, knew he got sleepy after he got a few drinks in him. He may own the bar but he definitely could not hold his liquor even after all the years of drinking under his belt.
“So, Hogeye…”
“What do you want Jones”
“Well since we’re stuck here, line em up”
“I like how you think darlin, what do ya want me to line up?”
“Only the best…”
“Whiskey?”
“Whiskey! I want 10 lined by the time I get back, I gotta take a piss.”
See you were always like one of the guys growing up. You knew the in and outs of the Serpents way before Jug even did. You were queen after all. You gave Jug the reins for the bit wanting to step back just a little and enjoy the time before you’d be full-fledged leader after highschool. But being the queen for a few years meant you knew everything about every single member in your gang. You knew Sweet Pea was ticklish only under his chin. You knew slash could lock pick any lock in 15 seconds or less. You knew hog eye always took double the shots as everyone else. You also knew that he would never stray from that, always taking double as if it was a need no matter the number. So you knew saying line up the 10 shots he would take 10 before you even got back. See you also knew tonight Hog Eye had been working since the afternoon, you knew he had already been drinking.
So there it was when you got back Hogeye was fast asleep on the chair behind the bar and you got to work. Grabbing the rope from the basement you tied his legs, then laid him on the floor wrapping his hands behind his back before tying everything together.
“Hog eye more like hogtied”
You slipped out the door of the Wyrm, You needed to go help get your man out. Needed to make sure he was safe. So you drove as fast as you could to the station. You paused as soon as you got there parking further down to hide your car. But that didn’t stop you from seeing all the people that were there, all the people that wanted to kill your man. You pushed through the crowd. Pushed and pushed so you could get ahead. You got closer hearing the chant. No Serpent stands alone! You knew you were getting closer. You could see the circle of the Serpents around him. You started towards him more till you saw Reggie walking through the crowd one hand in his pocket. You knew what that meant, had seen it a thousand times before. You watched Archie walk up to him an argument ensuing before you saw Reggie pull a gun, you knew instantly what he wanted. So you ran, ran as fast as your legs would take you till you saw Serpents being ripped away from the circle. But you had access, enough access to be able to push your way in. So you ran faster than you ever had before your arms out.
“Fangs!” You screamed as you shoved him out of the way the gunshot ringing through the air. But all you cared about was the fact that you knew that you had pushed him before the sound went off, so you knew that he was out of the way. You knew he’d be okay.
“Baby!?” You smiled at him, but that is when you felt it the stinging pain. Your knees buckled and you fell right into his arms.
Fangs POV
Y/N wasn’t here and she was all that I wanted. I wanted to see my girl. But when Jug showed up without her and my heart broke I understood. Understood that she couldn’t be here. I heard the shouts of the crowd. I heard the anger from them. I didn’t want her hurt. I wanted her safe just like everyone else did. I didn’t call her, I knew she would come. Knew she would want to be here. I just needed to keep her safe. But I knew I needed to get out of here to see her.
“Let’s get you to your girl Fogarty” Everyone surrounded me the shouts starting. No Serpent Stands Alone! I knew I’d be safe with everyone. Everything was going great till I felt my body being pushed and heard her voice followed by a bang. Y/N!?
“Baby!” I turned around and there she was. She always was fucking stubborn but I loved her for it. I barely got another word out before I saw her knees buckle and felt her fall into my arms. Looking down I saw the red stain growing “No, no, no you told them you wouldn’t come. You promised. You were supposed to stay at the Wyrm. You would have been safe! Fuck Y/N why did you come!? Why would you do that! Fuck you know I could take the bullet myself!”
“Couldn’t let you have all the fun Fogarty”
“Y/N how are you telling jokes right now this isn’t funny”
“Okay… but you thought I would listen, and when do I ever listen. It’s funny you thought I would listen”
“Y/N this isn’t fun though, your fucking bleeding, fuck”
“Well, I’m… I’m, having… a,bla…” You closed your eyes. Humor was the way you dealt with everything. You wanted to play a joke in this moment, needed too.
“No, Y/N open your fucking eyes. You are not leaving me. Baby your gonna be okay we are gonna get you into the truck, okay, Pea is pulling up now it’s gonna be…”
“AHH!”
“Fucking christ Y/N what in the actual fuck is wrong with you, your gonna give me a heart attack, fuck where is Pea!!”
“Fogarty! Jug! Get her into the truck now! I’ll meet you guys there”
“I love you dad”
“Love you too princess, but I’ll see you there okay?”
“Okay dad”
“Baby we are gonna lift you into the truck now okay? Are you ready?”
“Mhm”
I took her shoulders as jug took her legs and Toni supported her bottom, I wanted her into the truck feeling as little pain as possible. Toni hopped in the passenger seat, I had her head on my lap and Jug was applying pressure to the wound. She was okay, she had to be. The ride was pretty quiet, we were all worried about her. I talked to her the whole way she was nodding back not saying much.
“Fangs…”
“Yeah, babe?”
“It hurts”
“Baby I know but you gotta keep those pretty eyes open for me okay”
“I love you…”
“Baby don’t! Baby… Y/N it’s not funny open your eyes for me. Baby, please! Fuck. Fuck Pea hurry! Y/N open your eyes for me pretty girl need to see those eyes! Y/N I swear if you’re joking around again I’ll kill you myself, actually I won’t but please stop playing. Baby, please be joking.” I shook her hoping she would give it up but it was to no avail, she had closed her eyes. “Pea come on!!. Y/N Jones open your eyes baby please!”
