Chapter 88: Someone To Help Me

Valentine's Day Night

Rebecca's POV

I don't know what I will do tonight. Maybe watch a movie? Go to Pop's? Oh wait Gina and Sweet Pea might be there. Gross. Maybe....Sweet Water river. I haven't been there in ages...probably a year, last time I was here it was with Reggie and it was on this exact date. February 14th 2017, and plus no one has gone to Sweet water since you-know-who's death. So it's perfect. A perfect way to relax too. I can make my own getaway weekend.

I get into my bubblegum pink Ferrari and five to sweet water river. It's probably a 15 minute drive. When I arrive I park on the side of the road and lock my car. I walk over to the gravel and sand near the water.

It's beautiful. Astounding. I don't know why I ever stopped coming here.

I look over to my right and see a familiar face.

Sweet Pea? What's he doing here?

"Your girlfriend ditch you already?" I asked him as I come closer to the gravel.

"No. I'm getting her to meet me here." He said as he pulled out an old blanket from some weird basket he had.

"A picnic? Really? How old man can you get?" I asked him.

"It's something different and plus it's something nice. And I don't want to remember this place as the place that the blossom kid died." Sweet Pea says as he lays out the blanket on the ground.

"Jason you mean." I say to him crossing my arms.

"Yeah whatever his name was. Seemed like a stuck up kid to begin with." Sweet Pea says he stands up.

"I didn't like him either." I say still crossing my arms.

"Really? I mean he is kinda like you. Seems like your perfect type." Sweet Pea says as he sits down on the blanket and opens the basket.

"He's far from 'my type'." I say to Sweet Pea, air quoting his comment.

"Why's That Tweety Bird?" He asked me looking up. Tweety Bird. Brings me back to the banquet days.

"Stuff he did to me in freshman year." I say with a death stare.

"I got a couple minutes." Sweet Pea says as he motions for me to sit next to him.

"I have to sit on that?" I asked him in disgust.

"Or you could stand." Sweet Pea says. I give in and I sit beside him. This is weird. Not bad weird but like good weird.

"So what about this Jason kid that you don't like?" He asked me as if he was my therapist.

"He did some awful things to me my first year in Riverdale." I say to him avoiding eye contact.

"Elaborate." Sweet Pea says really getting into the therapist roll. Which made me have a small chuckle.

"He....he touched me. In a very.....odd way. And I told him no but he didn't listen." I say to Sweet Pea.

"I think I need a little more detail than that." He says with a chuckle.

"Back in freshman year, my dad told me to make friends with everyone. Or tried to. Mostly the popular kids. And one of those people I became friends with was Jason. He was on the football team and I just became a River Vixen so it was perfect." I say.

"Okay...." Sweet Pea says confused.

"I knew that he was with a girl named Polly Cooper. Which is Betty's sister. I always seen him look at me in the halls weird but I didn't think anything of it. Just thought he was an odd kid." I say to Sweet Pea.
