Hey guys, first of all I want to say thank you to every one who has voted/commented on this story. I don't always answer every comment but I do read each and every one of them and I appreciate all of the support!

@only_angel_c actually gave me this idea in the comments and I couldn't resist writing this little alternate chapter following on from chapter thirty eight where Crystal has a bit of a different reaction to seeing FP and Alice Cooper kiss. 

I have worked on it most of the weekend but I have also not slept much so I apologise if it is a little sucky because I haven't edited it much either :)

I was furious! FP had kissed that traitor Alice Cooper on the steps to his trailer and hadn't even tried to hide it from the majority of the Southside. If anyone else hears about this....... UGH

Damn it! My entire leadership could be in jeopardy over this. Okay. I need to think and get out ahead of it. I need to go to the Wyrm. I need dad. I need Sweet Pea and Toni. They'll know what to do.

I turned and started to walk towards the Wyrn, trying hard not to punch Alice Cooper in the face. Or FP. Neither of those plans would help me right now. I threw open the door to the Wyrm with so much force that the entire building shook. Dad had a glass of whiskey waiting for me when I reached the bar.

I downed it, wincing slightly at the taste.

'What's happened kid?' dad asked as he grabbed me another drink.

'FP is a lying, cheating twat' I replied, taking my second drink happily.

'Who?'

'Alice fucking Cooper. I suppose I should've seen it coming.'

'You weren't to know Crystal.'

'Yeah. Where's Sweet Pea and Toni? I need to tell them before they hear from somewhere else and I feel like getting drunk.'

'At the quarry with Kicks, Fangs, and a few others.'

'Alright, I'll go and find them. Don't wait up and don't tell FP where I am. He no longer has the right to know.'

'Be careful. I love you Crystal.'

'Love you too dad.' I leant over the bar to give him a small hug and pinch a bottle of vodka.

He shook his head at me but let me go.

I walked to the quarry and our usual spot where I knew the others would be hanging out.

'Crystal! Hey gorgeous Queen, you come to join us?' Fangs hollered when he spotted me.

'I brought you guys alcohol but I drunk most of it on the way here' I announced, sitting with them.

'You okay girl?' Toni asked.

'FP kissed Alice Cooper' I told her.

'Shit'

'Yup. So I came here to drink and forget.'

'We can help you forget' she grinned.

All of the younger Serpents were together for a change which was nice as we hardly ever spent time together as a large group any more. They had all brought alcohol so we had a nice selection to choose from and plenty to keep us going for hours. Eventually, there was only Sweet Pea, Kicks, Fangs, Toni, Jughead, and I left and we had moved closer so that we were closer to the fire pit to keep nice and warm in the middle of the night.

'Crystal, how much have you had to drink?' Fangs asked as I fell in to Sweet Pea.

'A lot? I don't know, who's counting?' I laughed.

'Okay, who's on Crystal duty tonight?'

'I don't need babysitting Fangs.'

'No but we need to make sure you don't drink loads and end up sleeping in a ditch.'

'That was one time and I was very sad!'

'You're not sad now? You and my dad seemed happy together.' Jughead stated.

'Seemed being the word kid. I clearly wasn't good enough for him so he found some one new. Now I need to find someone to get under to get over him.'

'Classy as ever.'

We carried on talking - Jughead was still trying to start some kind of revolution and we were all still resisting. But I was getting sleepy. It had been a very long day so I leant against Sweet Pea who immediately put his arm around me and pulled me closer to him. It was nice and comforting.

'Okay, so it looks like Sweet Pea is on Queen duty.' Fangs laughed.

'Don't make me hurt you Fangs' I muttered.

'You couldn't hurt me in your sleepy state Crystal.'

'Try me bitch'

'I see she fights even when she's nearly asleep.' Jughead observed.

'She fights in her sleep as well. The amount of times we've crashed together and she's woken me up by kicking and punching me' Kicks told him.

Everyone laughed at his outraged look.

'Nothing personal Kicks, I just like my own bed.'

'You never attack me when we crash' Sweet Pea said.

'You're the exception Sweets.'

'Sweet Pea is the exception to most things with you Crystal! It's not fair' Toni pouted.

'Sorry hun, he's my favourite. He feeds me.'

'We all feed you!'

'But he feeds me the most.'

'Favouritism!' she protested.

Everyone laughed at her and Sweet Pea kissed me lightly on the forehead.

'You're my favourite too Crystal' he whispered.

We stayed out by the fire pit until the early hours of the morning. The fire had started to die out and it was getting cold so we had decided to walk back our trailers. We had run out of alcohol a while ago so we were mostly sober as we ran back to the trailer park.

'Sleepover at mine?' Toni asked.

'Yeah, we're down for that' Jughead, Kicks, and Fangs agreed.

'I'll pass actually thanks Toni. I did the drinking part of the break up but now I think I need to wallow.' I told her with a soft smile.

'You sure? We can help you take your mind off it?'

'You mean take my mind off the hundreds of calls and texts I've received tonight? I was just going to ignore them and eat ice cream.'

'Don't worry T, I got this' Sweet Pea reassured her.

'I don't need babysitting.' I told him.

'Maybe I do' he winked.

'Fine! Night guys.'

Sweet Pea and I headed to his trailer - I didn't want to wake dad up by going to mine and we crashed on his sofa.

'You okay?' he asked.

'You got more alcohol?'

'Thanks. I'm pinching some clothes as well. I'm sick of these jeans.'

'Top drawer'

I changed into my usual sweat pants and T-shirt Sweet Pea always kept to one side for me when I crashed and I instantly relaxed a little when I had comfy clothes on. I joined Sweet Pea again on the sofa with a bottle of bourbon and some popcorn I had found in the cupboard.

'I thought you were going to wallow with ice cream?' Sweet Pea asked as I took a swing of bourbon and passed him the bottle.

'You don't have ice cream so this was the next best thing.' I shrugged.

'What's the next step after wallowing?'

'Rebound sex'

'You taking offers?'

'You want to have semi drunk rebound sex with me Sweets?' I asked in disbelief.

'Can't be any worse than our drunken sex before you got with FP and I don't mind being used for sex by a beautiful girl I'm secretly crazy about.'

'It's not so secret Sweets'

'You didn't answer me Crystal'

'Are you sure about this Sweet Pea? It wouldn't mean anything, I don't want you getting hurt.'

'I didn't get hurt last time, I promise I won't this time either,' he reassured me.

'Alright, lets drink a bit more and do this,' I agreed.

'Such a romantic Crystal' he rolled his eyes at me as we headed to his room.
