The hidden truth

Chapter 85 - Not goodbye

I looked at her in awe and shock as I waited for the Jones family to come crashing through my trailer door at the way I left the phone call but this was equally as important as anything. I heard the door swing open and FP Jones was at the fore front of the two looking around and scanning the room for any threats until his eyes lay apon his daughter.

Jughead looked at Lorna and then up at us again and we all simply smiled as we looked at the most breathtaking girl laying peacefully asleep on the sofa, for the first time since the incident she had slept and it been peaceful. If she had slept it would be nightmares and a lot of constant screaming but this was her peacefully asleep and she looked simply stunning. I was lost for words while I looked at her in complete awe and I didn't care how silly or stupid I looked when I looked at this girl who had genuinely stolen my breath and maybe even my heart.

"She's sleeping" Mr Jones said with a smile as he walked over towards his daughter who had the blanket laid over her in such a weird way and her head against the arm of my sofa resting against a pillow in my shirt, he looked at me and raised an eyebrow which made me shrug.

Although the sight of her in my clothes made a part of my heart jump and miss a few beats.

"I'm so glad, it's not screaming and nightmares" Jughead said as he leant against the wall of my trailer looking at the girl with so much pride and happiness. I knew he took her disappearance the hardest, it was the talk of the serpents forever. It was never something that was dropped and I felt like it was an open wound to everyone that never healed properly until she turned up out of the blue and then it began to heal.

"Yeah me too" I said as I walked towards her, I picked her up gently and Mr jones went to get the door of her room and I went and placed her in her bed hoping not to wake her up or disturb her. She deserved this and i was glad it finally happened and I hoped this was the start of the heal process she so desperately tried to prove to people had already happened.

I closed the door slowly and saw the Jones's stand in my living room and look towards me, I wasn't known for the gentle side of myself and I knew that but she opened that whole gentle side up. I was called 'Sweetpea' for a reason I guess but I felt like it was more of an irony since I wasn't sweet to anyone and I was the cold serpent boy that used his fists first to solve a matter before his brain.

"Take care of her" Mr Jones warned me and I nodded, she was the world to me already and I felt horrible for any way I made her feel with Josie before and I wanted to make that up to her but this girl has some serious balls, she knew how to look after herself and I knew she was hurting from something but I wasn't sure what.

Whether it was the absence of her family in her childhood or if it was the lack of memories before she left or something I didn't know about at all but I knew she was a strong girl and she didn't give herself enough credit for the things she'd done. Especially the way she threatened Hiram and his destructive group, it was hot I wasn't going to lie to anyone about that. She had a dominate side that came to play when her family were threatened and I knew it was something that we'd have to watch out for and it made her more of a loose cannon.

I showed them out and they went back to their trailer after taking one more looking at the sleeping beauty that laid in the bed so peacefully and I assume they were praying for her health and for her to get better.

I walked into my room and smiled at the thought of my girl in my clothes sleeping so peacefully and happily, I couldn't wait for the day that she didn't feel like I was just using her to get over Joise and what we had.

My girl.

It felt good to say that

Lorna's pov! -

I woke up with a shock when I noticed I was in my own room which I didn't remember walking into at any point and the fact that I was asleep shocked me more. I looked down to see me in Sweetpea's shirt which made me blush like crazy and I figured it must have been him that brought me in here? I wasn't too sure.

I picked up my phone which was on my night stand to see a text from Jughead. Today was Archie's final trail and it was about whether he was off to prison or not which was a big moment for the core four and for everyone else too.

Jughead: it's not looking good

Jughead: it's really not looking good lo.

Jughead: He's an idiot!

Jughead: he's off to prison lo, the serpents need to protect him.

I sighed and quickly got up out of my bed and walked into the main room of the trailer and looked to see Sweetpea making eggs and smiling at me which made me blush and smile alittle more.

"Good morning Beautiful" he said to me in a chipper and happy tone which made me very happy and my whole body seem to brighten up at the sound of such a happy voice in the morning. He was really happy and I wasn't too sure why but I loved that he was.

At least today was going good for someone.
