Make It Right

Penny Peabody walked into the Whyte Wyrm with a confident stride and prideful smirk gracing her face. She looked sideways to the other Serpents staring at her as she passed and narrowed her eyes. She was known to be the Snake Charmer and making a deal with her meant risking something important to you.

As she reached the end of the bar, she paused before walking inside a room where FP Jones used to stay. She smiled mischievously when she noticed that his son was also there, talking with his father, "well, I picked a great time didn't I?"

The Jones men turned their heads towards her with utter confusion and hatred. FP stood up and crossed his arms before Jughead did the same as he stood behind his father. "What are you doing here Penny?"

She gave a humorless chuckle and matched his stance with one of her own. Penny shrugged, "can't I pay a visit to an old friend and his son? I'm sure that's not a bad thing to do?"

FP narrowed his eyes, "drop the bullshit act Penny and cut to the chase, why are you here?"

"I believe you still have a work to do for me, am I right? The debt your son has?" She looked at Jughead who looked at his father before locking his gaze with her.

"My father has already done the job for you Penny, one deal, one job." Jughead stated through his gritted teeth.

Penny took a step towards Jughead and tilted her head, "oh kid, you remember that footage of you delivering the wooden trunk? Well, if your father refused to do another job for me, I might just do something about that footage which I'm sure you and your father wouldn't like."

FP towered over her, seething with anger, "don't you dare include my son in this, I already told you, I am done with your illegal jobs. I have paid his debt, and don't you ever threaten my family. Get. The. Hell. Out."

Penny backed away with an evil grin on her face, "well FP, if you want your family out of this, I believe it won't matter if I involve a certain blonde in this situation then?" She let out a laugh and was about to get out of the room when she was hastily grabbed by the wrist and her back met the wall with a loud thud. Suddenly, a hand came up to her throat and she choked.

"Dad!" Jughead was beyond confused. One minute Penny was talking about an anonymous blonde and the next thing he saw was his father cornering Penny. He didn't know what or who they were talking about, but he kept quiet and let the scene before him unfold.

FP kept a tight grip on her throat, eyes filled with so much anger, "don't mess with me Penny. If you lay a hand on her, or even one finger, I swear to god, death will be the least of your concerns."

Jughead was surprised at his father words. He hadn't seen this angry before. His anger was always accompanied with silence, but he never threatened someone when he was mad.

Despite the burning pain in her throat and the fact that it was getting hard to breathe, she managed to chuckle knowing she hit a nerve, "oh FP, still the same man. Would do anything for the girl he loves. Tell me again why she left you?"

FP tightened his grip even more and Jughead was surprised that Penny was still conscious, "dad." Of course FP didn't hear him because he was too busy making sure Penny was feeling the pressure on her throat. He was breathing heavily with anger and he hissed, "Shut the fuck up Penny. Leave Alice out of this, I don't care what the consequences are but I'm sure as hell won't let you get to her. Leave her the fuck alone!"

Before Penny could respond, Jughead's phone rang, FP kept his gaze on her, "Betty? What's wrong?" The Snake Charmer smirked and FP's eyes widened before he let his fist collide with her cheek.

"Jug," the fear and worry were very evident in Betty's voice that Jughead knew something was not right.

Jughead saw Penny dropped to the floor and stared at her father, FP looked back at him as he ran his hand through his hair.

"Sheriff Keller called and, and —mom was found near Sweetwater River, she's critical Jug," Betty broke down, she decided to call him after she had called Veronica. She needed all her friends with her right now because she's afraid she won't be able to face it alone.

"Don't worry Betts, we're on our way," Jughead nodded to his father as they rushed out of the room.

Before they left the bar though, FP looked at Tall Boy and gestured his head to the room, "get her the hell out of there and make sure she doesn't come back here to the southside. I don't care what you do or where you'll bring her, just drag her out of Riverdale."

"Dad…"

FP glared at his son, "no Jughead, Penny is a risky woman to encounter with again," he paused to let that sink in to his son before he moved again towards the exit, "come on, we have to hurry."

The ride to the Hospital was eerily quiet, it wasn't uncomfortable but it sure was full of tension. Every few minutes, Jughead would look at his father and noticed how he gripped the steering wheel so hard that FP's knuckles turned white. Jughead sighed, "she's gonna be fine dad. It will be okay soon."

His father released a breath to keep himself a little bit calm, FP was driving a little faster but not going over the limit. He needed to get there fast, he had to see her. He slackened his grip and ran a hand through his hair.

When they arrived at the waiting area, Archie and Veronica were already there sitting beside Betty and Jughead's heart broke for his friend. He knew that mother and daughter were not always on the same page on things but deep down they care for each other so much. Hermione and Fred were also there opposite the teenagers looking disheveled like Betty. Back in high school, it was always the four of them together. Be it at lunch or at Pop's. FP and Jughead walked towards Betty when she saw them, she rushed towards Jughead and hugged him tightly, "thank you."

Jughead smiled sadly, "it's no problem. That's what friends are for."

Betty turned to FP and offered a weak smile which FP returned with one of his own, "I'm sorry for what happened Betty," his voice almost broke but he fought it back. That's been nagging on him since he heard the phone call. He failed her, the one thing he promised himself not to happen.

Betty said thanks but was a bit confused at the tone of his voice, she just let it slide and turned back to her seat as FP approached Hermione and Fred. The two adults stood up before they walked in a quiet area, a little distant from the kids. "How are you holding up?" Fred asked.

FP ran a hand through his hair and shrugged, "I have no idea," he hung his head, "this is all my fault."

Hermione furrowed her eyebrows and looked at Fred who just shrugged in return, "what do you mean?" She asked softly, "it's not like anyone knows she will be attacked by some random people. No one saw this coming FP, don't beat yourself up."

He released a frustrated sigh and leaned against the wall, "it was Penny."

"The Snake Charmer?" Hermione and Fred said in unison.

FP nodded and looked back towards the teenagers who tried not to eavesdrop on their conversation, before focusing back on his companions, "Jug made a deal with her, and I took his place. It was supposed to be one deal, one job only. She threatened to expose Jughead, but I told her no and she said she won't hesitate to involve Allie in this." FP clenched his fist in the anger that was coming back just thinking about the bitch, he sighed, "I should've known she had done it already."

"It wasn't your fault," Hermione said.

"I promised to protect her Maia, I told her I would do anything to keep her safe. I let her build a life with Cooper to keep her away from the dangerous ways of a Serpent. I sacrificed the life we could've had together because I want her to be happy. This was not supposed to happen as long as she lives on the Northside. I failed her."

Fred and Hermione felt bad for their friend, they knew what went down between the two Serpents. Back then, they looked so perfect for each other like nothing was gonna keep them apart, sadly fate was not in their favor and things took a different turn. However, things also didn't look so good when they found out that she and Hal ended their marriage because he was abusive.

They envelope him in a hug, which surprised the teenagers. "Whatever happens after the surgery, you have to be strong FP, you have to keep it together for her. She needs you more than ever. This," Hermione pulled back and smiled softly, "this could be your second chance of protecting her FP."

Fred nodded in agreement and FP just sighed as he contemplated what to do. It will be a rough path, it won't be like picking up where they left off, but FP was determined to do what it takes to keep his Allie safe. Letting her go was the hardest thing he had done, and he won't be doing that again.

He's gonna make it right.

AN: I wrote a falice fanfic draft where Alice and Penny would come face to face with each other but I haven't finished it yet and I'm also not sure if I will end up posting it. Also this will have a possible next chapter but it won't be as long as this one. Share your thoughts and leave me a review! *you can also pm me if you have any prompts in mind.*
