A/N: This plot has pretty much been running around my head all weekend and mentally... its finished. I just need time to type it all out. 4 chapters in 1 night is my limit but I will update more soon. I've been reading a bunch of Betty/Sweet Pea fics lately and that truly inspired this story. To me I see his character as broody, a player, but very insecure. Betty doesn't know if she is weak or strong. Together, it's either bliss or a mess so I guess you will soon see-

Chapter 1

Jughead was walking away from Betty and she just couldn't stand for another moment. It was still ringing in her ears as she sunk down to sit on the sidewalk, "until it sticks". Her heart was broken, she was ashamed, and worst: she was alone. Her friends had gone and her mother was long gone. All she could do was sob into FPs serpent jacket that he has put around her shoulders after she finished a "performance" she thought would unite her with Jughead forever, but ended up tearing them apart. She had wanted to be in his world but he wanted her out. How could she be so stupid? She loved him with everything she had. When she was with him she had stars in her eyes and wore fire. She was strong, passionate, and courageous. She could do anything. Without him… she didn't know what to do. Her family was disintegrating and she needed him. He was her anchor. She had to get him back. Somehow she had to make him understand that they were meant to be together; that they were endgame. When she wiped her eyes with her fingers and opened them she saw a pair of dirty tennis shoes in front of her. She looked up and for a moment her heart leapt, thinking that Jughead had come back, but instead in front of her stood another member of serpents. He was squinting as her town on the pavement and it almost looked like he was sizing her up. "Hey, are you ok, Northsider?" he asked. It was starting to rain lightly.

"Does it look like I'm ok?" she retorted as she sniffled.

"Not really. You are a long way from home, little girl; and you should leave before you really get hurt. Those guys that saw you in there… they might try to take advantage of this situation. Anyone can look like a shoulder to cry on, but don't forget, you are in a snake den."

Betty dried her eyes and wiped down her damp hair and put it up in a ponytail. The rain was making her hair a mess and it was dripping into her eyes.

"Thanks for the warning-?"

"Sweet Pea," he answered her.

"Betty," she introduced herself, "Betty Cooper."

"I know who you are, Northsider." She looked away. "Where's your man? He should be here protecting you."

She shifted and answered still not looking at him, "he's gone. And I don't know how to get him back."

Sweet Pea looked down at Betty with pity. Jughead ruined everything he touched. He took this beautiful girl and broke her down to nothing, just as it seemed he had been doing to the serpents since he started coming around. "You don't need Jones," he said breaking the momentary silence. He smirked and added, "maybe you need a real man for a night. I can give you a ride," pauses, "in more ways than one. I've never had a Northside girl before."

"Uh thanks for the offer," Betty said incredulously, " but I think that's the last thing I need."

"Well, if you change your mind I will be inside. But I really would get out of here quickly, not everyone is as accommodating around here as I am." Sweet Pea winked and then turned and went into the Wyrm and Betty watched him go. Just great, she thought to herself. I'm stuck here I've been dumped and someone is already trying to pick up the leftovers.

She stood up and dramatically dusted herself off. She thought she had been given good advice, it was probably best if she just gave up and went home. There was nothing left to do on the Southside tonight. The rain had since stopped but it was still chilly so she pulled FPs jacket closer around herself. She turned to head home when she had an idea. Maybe there WAS something she could do, a way to get Jughead to realize he had made a mistake. That he couldnt live with out her either. She had tried to appeal to Jughead's romantic side and he still broke up with her. But what if she tried to get on his jealous side? Maybe that would just work.
