Chapter 21.

                                    

                                          
I arrive home from hanging out with Kevin and walk into my house to hear multiple voices in the kitchen. I ignore it and see Gigi coming downstairs.
                          
"Karisma!" She yells as she runs to me. I smile and pick her up.
                          
"Hello," I say as I sit Gigi on my hip to hold her up.
                          
"Karisma! Come to the kitchen please!" Rosalie yells. I walk into the kitchen and see Jughead and FP standing in there.
                          
"Uh, hey," I say to Jughead and FP.
                          
"Hi" they both reply as they look at me.
                          
"FP, why don't you tell her why you and Jughead are here?" Rosalie asks. FP nods and turns attention back to me.
                          
"Jughead and I are here because we would like to know if you want to move in with us," FP says.
                          
"I would love to but what about you guys?" I reply as I look at Rosalie.
                          
"Karisma, you should be with your real family and I need to tell you that I'm moving out of Riverdale with Gigi," Rosalie says.
                          
"Oh... I'll move in with Jughead and FP, I mean dad" I say as I put Gigi down.
                          
"Jughead, go help Karisma pack all her stuff," FP says. Jughead nods and gets off the stool. I walk into my bedroom with Jughead following behind me and Jughead looks around my room.
                          
"You know we're not forcing you to move in, right?" Jughead asks.
                          
"Do you want me to live with you Jug?" I ask.
                          
"Of course I do. My best friend slash sister living in the same house as me sounds like fun. At least I have another sister to have around not like Mum and Jellybean who left" Jughead answers. Jellybean is Jugheads little sister who left with his mum to move to Toledo awhile ago.
                          
"Let's get packing then," I say as I grab a couple of bags to shove clothes and other stuff in.

I sit in Pop's as Jughead sits at the counter writing his novel and FP works behind the register. I sit in a booth and look out the window as I hear motorbike engines roaring in the car park. I see Sweet Pea and Fangs get off their motorbikes and start heading towards the entrance. Sweet Pea sees me in the window and smiles at me. I smile back and look down at my hands that are resting on the table.
                          
The bell for the diner door goes off and I fiddle with the ring on my finger, knowing it's just Fangs and Sweet Pea entering the diner.
                          
"Sweet Pea! Fangs! Can I get you two anything?" Dad asks.
                          
"No thanks, FP" they answer in sync.
                          
"Hey princess," Sweet Pea says as he sits down next to me in the booth.
                          
"Hey Sweets" I reply as I look up at him.
                          
"You ok?" He asks wrapping his arm around me.
                          
"Yeah, just tired. Been moving all afternoon" I answer.
                          
"Wait, are you moving to in with FP at Sunny Side Trailer Park?" Sweet Pea asks. I nod and a smile forms on Sweet Pea's lips.
                          
"Yay! Now I don't have to go all the way to the Northside to visit you" he says.
                          
"Haha, you have to put up with me more," I say as I yawn.
                          
"Absolutely nothing wrong with that" Sweet Pea replies. I smile and rest my head on Sweet Pea's shoulder. Sweet Pea pulls my legs up so they're resting on his thighs and wraps his arms around me. He kisses my cheek a couple of times and my eyes slowly close.
                          
Sweet Pea's P.O.V
                          
Karisma lays asleep in my arms as I carry her to FP's truck. As I carefully place her in the passenger seat of the trunk, Karisma slowly opens her eyes.
                          
"I'm sorry, did I wake you up?" I ask.
                          
"N-no" Karisma answers in her cute sleepy voice.
                          
"FP's going to take you home," I say. Karisma pouts and I look at her confused. "What?"
                          
"I want you to come with me" Karisma answers.
                          
"I can't, sorry. I have to do something for the Serpents," I say.
                          
"Ok, just be careful. I want you back in one piece" Karisma says.
                          
"I will" I reply. I quickly peck Karisma's lips as FP gets into the truck and we say goodbye before I close the car door.
