At the high school in the auditorium, Cami stood off to the side of the stage as Betty put on her microphone for the upcoming student body president meeting with all the ones running.

"So what happened next?" Cami questions Betty who sighs at her.

"Mom asked me about if Jughead and me were being safe, and then said something regarding how alluring the Jones men are," Betty says making Cami look away from her notes to look towards her sister in disbelief.

"Wait did Mom and Fp...?" Cami began to question but couldn't get the words out as she felt sick to her stomach.

"No. She told me they didn't," Betty tells Cami with her eyebrows furrowed wondering why her sister looked so pale at the idea.

Cami nods slightly at that as she fists her hands trying to get them to stop shaking before clearing her throat.

"What else?" Cami questions as Betty sighs hesitating before she continues.

"Mom asked me to apologize to Chic and give him a chance due to him not having anyone," Betty tells Cami who sighs at that.

"So because she feels guilty about giving him up we have to pay the price," Cami mutters while Betty nods. 

"I tried to make up with him for Mom's sake but then he threatened-," Betty hesitates as Cami looks at her worriedly. 

"He threatened to go to the police about what happened. Saying we scare him," Betty tells Cami softly who just stares at her not saying anything

"Cam it's time," Jughead says walking towards the two sisters making Cami take a deep breath and put on a clearly forced smile.

"We'll talk more about this once we get to the trailer tonight," Cami tells Betty who nods making sure Cami's hair is perfect along with her dark emerald green right above-the-knee dress.

"You got this Cami. This is your walk in the park. You can do this," Betty tells her before kissing her cheek and then Jughead's lips before heading towards her seat.

Cami looks at Jughead and smiles as she interlocks her arm with his.

"You ready running mate?" Cami questions making Jughead chuckle before nodding.

"Still surprised you chose me, but yeah," Jughead tells her making Cami laugh at him just as their names were called by known other than Alice Cooper.

Jughead and Cami smile as they take their seats between the other contestants. Josie and Reggie are on one side closer to Alice and Veronica and Archie are on the other.

"Okay, now just a quick reminder, that this school hall is a PTA-sponsored event," Alice says into the microphone as she stands at the podium.

"Oh, looks like we have our first question," Alice says pointing toward where Sweet Pea stood with Fangs beside him leaning against his hand.

"How did I know he would have the first question?" Cami questions Jughead who smiles at her shaking his head.

"Yeah, no offense to the, uh, current administration beside the current president, but it doesn't feel like anyone's looking out for the students who are being bussed in from the Southside. Is that gonna change?" Sweet Pea questions as he winks at Cami who smiles at him.

"Absolutely, Sweet Pea, that's our priority. And no one should feel marginalized or excluded here," Jughead tells the boy as Cami nods bringing her microphone up to her mouth.

"When I was chasing a running mate I wanted someone who has the same goal as me. I want us all to have rights. To feel welcome and comfortable here. No one student is more important than the next. With it being both Jughead and I we will be representing all students. Both North and South," Cami says smiling, and as she goes to say something else she is suddenly interrupted.

"Next question," Alice says quickly making Cami tighten her hold on the microphone.

"Yes, Midge?" Alice questions pointing to the girl.
"My question is for Archie and Veronica," Midge says making the two look towards her.

"Rumor has it that your parents will soon be on opposite sides of the Mayoral election, won't that negatively affect your working relationship?" Midge questions the two.

"Archie and I adhere to the old maxim that "politics are never discussed" at the dinner or the cafeteria table," Veronica answers making some of the audience laugh as Cami smiles a polite smile.

"Veronica and I are on the same page about everything, including her family's plans for a prison on the Southside," Archie answers making murmurs begin and booing as the boy looks slightly at Cami.

"In the meantime, however, we're committed to improving the quality of life at Riverdale High, which means more extracurriculars-," Veronica says after a moment and then gets cut off by Josie who is running with Reggie.

"Reggie and I agree. Except, add the fact that we can and will deliver results," Josie says pointedly.

"And we're chill, unlike these guys," Reggie says making the audience laugh as Cami raises her microphone with a smile on her face.

"I don't know about that Reggie. You can get very close tense when a game is coming up," Cami teases making the boy laugh as he looks at her.

"Says Miss Perfect," Reggie teases right back making Cami laugh at him while smiling but cringing on the inside. She hated that nickname.

"Next questions," Alice says making one of the students stand up from the back.

"My question is for Cami...you've been President for the past two years. What difference have you made?" The student questions Cami who looks surprised at that as she goes to answer although is cut off.

"Cami's made a lot of changes. Throughout just my time here. Always make sure everyone is included. Has weekly meeting with principal just to try to help the students," Veronica answers making Cami turn to her the two staring not saying anything.

The two stared at each other with a mixture of heartbreak and longing. It was as if they were missing a part of their souls. The saddest part is that it was right in front of them, but neither could get it.

There were just so many words left unsaid especially three words that could everything.

"Next question," Alice calls making the two break eye contact as they look back towards the audience.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

After the meeting, Cami smiles as she shakes a few hands and hugs Fred and Mary with a soft smile on her face although it fades as she leans against the wall.

A body then presses closer to her making Cami stop and look up.

"Hey Trouble," FP tells her making Cami lean closer to him.

"You okay?" FP asks Cami who nods slightly before stopping as she remembers something.

"Yep, I'm fine. I should get going need to see some speak to some more people," Cami says as she ducks under FP's arm who stares at her.

"Cami?" FP calls making the girl stop as she looks over her shoulder.

"What is it?" Cami questions as FP stares at her.
"You sure you're okay?" FP asks making Cami nod.

"I'm fine," Cami responds as she walks away making FP watch her knowing when Cami said she was fine. She wasn't.

Sighing the man goes to follow Cami but stops once he sees someone staring straight at him.

"Mary," FP greets after clearing his throat.
"FP," Mary greets back staring at him before looking at where Cami stood smiling with Fred about something.

"Mhm," Mary says before walking away as FP curses slightly running a hand through his head worriedly.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"Pizza delivery," Cami says smiling as she walks into the Jones trailer and sees Betty and Jughead sitting on the couch watching something with FP in the recliner.

"You're the best," Jughead tells the girl who laughs at that just as FP gets up to help with the three boxes of pizza, but just as goes to grab them his phone begins to ring.

"Whoa, easy, Alice. Hold on," FP says once he answers the phone making Cami look at him at that Betty watching her sister.

"Turn to channel eight right now!" FP says worriedly making Jughead grab the remote and turn to channel eight as Cami walks closer to stand beside FP just as Jughead turns on channel eight.

"It is not yet known how or when the car first entered the swamp, but foul play has not been ruled out," the news reporter states as a video is shown of a car being pulled out of the lake.

A familiar car.

The car of the man Cami killed.

"They found it, FP. They found it," Alice tells the man in a shuddering breath as the three pizza boxes fall to the ground and Cami stares in disbelief and terror.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The next morning Cami, Jughead, Betty, FP, and Alice sat at a booth at Pop's.

"We should've known better. I should've known better. We should've driven that damn car further out of town!" Jughead whispers panicking with his hand against his mouth as Cami just stares at the wall biting her bottom lip.

"No, no. How could you have known that Junkyard Steve drags the swamp for people's castoffs? It was dumb luck," FP tells his son as he lifts his head off his fists before leaning back against the booth with a sigh.

"It's Jones luck, you mean," Jughead mutters as he takes a sip of his coffee looking at Cami who hasn't even touched her strawberry milkshake.

"Shouldn't Chic be here, considering he's the reason that the guy was brained?" FP questions Alice who raises her hand at him.

"Don't worry about Chic," Alice tells the man as Betty interrupts her.

"Normally, I would disagree. Definitely worry about Chic but he doesn't know anything about the car," Betty tells her Mom before looking at FP to tell him the last part.

"When we got to the Swamp, we wiped the thing clean of fingerprints before we pushed it in," Jughead states.

"Wearing gloves?" FP questions his son as he opens his hands that rest on the table.

"I think so."
"I'm pretty sure."

Betty and Jughead answer simultaneously as they look towards each other.

"What do you mean you "think so"?" FP questions the two worriedly.

"No, no. We were. We 100% were," Betty says as she rests her hand on Jughead's arm just as the bell rings signaling that someone entered Pop's.

Everyone looks only to notice it is Sheriff Keller who has entered making everyone tense except Cami who stares at the man.

"If anybody comes around asking questions, we don't know anything. We don't talk to anyone. We act like everything's normal," FP demands towards everyone.

"Including, Cami Betty, you both are coming home so you're not nesting with a bunch of Serpents," Alice says pointing at her daughters as FP looks at Cami who scoffs at that.

"No, you are not gonna use this to manipulate us, Mom. You know the deal. We come home when Chic leaves," Betty tells her Mom sternly.

"Or never," Cami speaks for the first time as she shrugs making Alice go to argue with her but is interrupted.

"Everybody, be cool. In the unlikely event that something happens, we batten down the hatches. Until then, life goes on, and nobody goes anywhere near that car," FP says to everyone as Cami sighs rubbing her head.

"Okay, Mom make sure Chic doesn't do anything rash. He's the loose screw. Or maybe a few more," Cami stated before standing up just as her phone goes off due to a text from Archie.

"I have to go," Cami says as she walks out of Pop's everyone watching her.

"Watch out for her. Make sure she doesn't do anything rash," FP tells Betty and Jughead who look at him but he is staring a Cami.

"She's worried, scared, and feels guilty. She's pushed in a corner and will want to do something to help everyone," FP says before getting up and heading back to work Betty watches him go before looking at her Mom who was staring at where Cami once sat.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"Absolutely not Archie! That is a terrible idea! Idiotic!" Cami exclaims as she paces in front of Archie as they stand in the garage of the Andrews house.

"Cami this is a good thing. I will have an inside of what happens in that meeting with Hiram, Lenny, Carl, and the unwanted attention they don't want," Archie tells Cami who scoffs at that shaking her head.

"Archie-," Cami begins to say as Archie stands up walking towards her.

"This was the plan Cami. This is why I cut the chains on Jughead and the serpents. I'm gaining his trust. Getting more information for you to bring him down," Archie tells Cami who looks worried.

"I'll be fine Cami," Archie tells her making Cami hesitate.

"If you get hurt Archie I swear I'll make everything Hiram has done child play compared to what I do," Cami warns him as Archie gulps but nods.

"Now give me your phone," Cami tells Archie who looks worriedly but heads it to her as Cami goes through his phone doing something then handing it to Archie.

"I turned your phone on auto record. It'll record everything in that room. Including everything else so always have it on you. Always," Cami tells Archie who nods staring at your phone.

"You know this is why people are terrified of you right?" Archie questions as Cami rolls her eyes at him.

"I'm not terrifying!" Cami groans before leaving while Archie smiles shaking his head at Cami.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Arriving at school Cami puts a flyer up of her and Jughead's names asking for people to vote for them.

"Sunshine," Sweet Pea calls making Cami look towards him with a tilt of her head.

"I'm sorry for last night. I wasn't attacking you," Sweat Pea tells Cami who chuckles at him shaking her head.

"Sweets I know that. I'm mad and it was an honest question to ask," Cami says making Sweet Pea sigh in relief at that wrapping his arm around her and taking the flyers from her.

"Well, you have the serpent's vote," Sweet Pea says making Cami smile at him.

"Although I'm a little pissed you choose Jug and not me as your running mate," Sweet Pea says making Cami laugh loudly.

"You hate politics and Northsiders," Cami says as Sweet Pea nods at that slightly.

"Not all Northsiders," Sweet Pea states making Cami smile at that.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Arriving at the trailer Cami sees both Jughead and Betty gone and only FP there unpacking some food.

"Got your favorite," FP tells Cami who nods putting her things down as FP looks at her before walking towards Cami and hugging her.

The blonde tenses slightly making FP release her and step back looking at the blonde.

"What's wrong? Is it about the car? Because nothing is going to happen, even if it does the body's gone," FP tells Cami who shakes her head at that.

"No, it's not that. I mean yes it is. Sort of. I'm just going to go take a shower. It's been a long few days," Cami says as she walks past FP as she bites her bottom lips picking at the skin as she thinks about what Betty said regarding FP and her Mom.

She knew she needed to ask but was a bit well actually more than a bit scared to ask.

For what if she was just a placeholder? Just like she had been her entire life.

After a hot shower, Cami walks into the living room to see a guilty and worried-looking Betty and Jughead and a stressed-looking FP.

Cami sighs staring at the two as she rubs the bridge of her nose making Betty and Jughead look at her.

"What did Nancy Drew and Ned Nickerson do this time?" Cami questions the two as she raises her eyebrows making the two gulp before they begin to tell Cami how they asked Kevin about the car incident and what his Dad knows without Kevin thinking anything strange. Well more strange.

But he did tell them how the car was claimed and they are now trying to figure out who stole the car.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"Has shacking up together driven you both completely insane? Talking to the Sheriff's son about that car? You didn't think that that was going to raise any red flags?" Alice questions Betty and Jughead who sit on the couch the next morning. FP leans against the wall with his head leaning on his head while Cami stands in the kitchen drinking a cup of coffee.

"No. Kevin didn't suspect anything," Betty states as Cami nods at that. She got a text from Kevin talking about how weird Betty and Jughead were.

"And at least, we know what's going on now," Jughead adds.

"Yeah. Which is that Chic's drug dealer stole someone's car before he made his run to our house," Betty states as she looks at Chic who is sitting in the chair.

"Dwayne didn't have wheels. He was always borrowing his girlfriend's car," Chic says as FP walks towards him.

"Someone called the Shady Man's phone while I had it. And she sounded like a crazy person, but not like there was a lot of love lost between her and Dwayne," Betty explains as Cami finishes her coffee.

"That could be Darla, yeah," Chic states as Cami rolls her eyes at him before looking and seeing FP staring straight at her. The girl exhales as she turns her head away from him.

"Is this Darla somebody that we need to be worried about?" Alice questions her son.

"Uh, I don't really know her," Chic says making Cami scoff at that rolling her eyes.

"Shocker! Gee, Chic, have you ever actually been helpful in any way to anyone?" Betty questions as Cami chuckles at that.

"Enough, Elizabeth Camilla!" Alice exclaims at her daughters while Cami just stares crossing her arms.

"Why should it be enough for us? He got us in this mess, to begin with," Cami tells her Mom who looks at her.

"No, it was you. You are the one who killed him!" Alice exclaims making Cami step back slightly at that as FP stands up and Jughead and Betty stare at Alice in disbelief and anger.

"You're blaming me? Me? I had a strange man with a knife coming near me in my own home. Of course, I reacted. He was his dealer. The reason he was there was because of him but like always I'm to blame. It's always Cami's fault," Cami says scoffing annoyed as she glares at her Mom.

"Cam-," Alice begins to say but is interrupted before she can continue.

"That's enough Alice," FP states stepping in front of Cami who stares at his back.

"We stick to the plan. This has nothing to do with us. Dwayne stole Darla's car, and Darla got it back. Let's hope it ends there. And Cami was not at fault for defending herself. Something her Mother should have done instead," FP states as Cami stares at his back.

"Pack your things, Betty, because this honeymoon is over. O-ver. You two playing house and running around town like loose cannons is beyond the pale. You and Camilla are coming home now. We don't want Hal finding out about this. The last thing we need is for him to stick his nose in it," Alice tells her daughters as Cami and Betty scoff at that.

"I'll move out," Chic says making everyone look at him.
"I'll get a place, Cami Betty. It's your house, not mine," Chic tells the two girls.

"Fine. I'll come back after Chic's gone," Betty tells her Mom who shakes her head at that.

"Oh, I'm done with your ultimatums, young lady. You're coming home now! And if you don't back me up on this, FP, I will tear this trailer apart with my bare hands," Alice threatens as FP stares at Betty and sighs knowing he couldn't do anything. Betty sighs at that before looking at her Mom.

"Fine. I'll go get my stuff," Betty says making Alice nod as she looks at Cami who looks at her with a deadpan look.

"Are you serious? Do you think I would move back with you after you just blamed me for defending myself against your son's drug dealer? Yeah no thanks," Cami says scoffing at her Mom.

"Your father-," Alice begins to say as Cami interrupts her.

"Already knows I'm staying here. Unlike you, he calls me every day to check up on me. I told him we got into an argument and I had enough of you. He understood and wasn't upset at all even told me that he would help me pay for my own place if I wanted him to," Cami tells Alice who stares at her in disbelief.

"I'm staying here for as long as FP and Jughead don't mind I'm here. And Mom I swear if Betty tells me that Chic puts her at risk one more time I'll report you of child endangerment myself and tell Dad," Cami warns as Alice stares at her not noticing her daughter.

Her once soft-spoken daughter who did everything she said without question. At this moment Alice realized how fair she truly pushed her away.

"You are welcome here for as long as you want and need," FP tells Cami who smiles at him as FP nods at her.

"I'll help you pack Betty," Alice states as she follows Betty to the bedroom. Jughead smiles at Cami with a nod of approval as she smiles at him.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"So how did it go?" Cami questions Archie as they stand in his bedroom.

"They want 25% of the profit that Mr.Lodge will receive from the prison for Mrs.Lodge to continue with her campaign due to it putting the families in the public eye," Archie tells Cami who nods at him listening.

"He said no. That it was too high of of number. They didn't like it and grew angry saying something about how Hiram has nothing and that his men in Montreal and New York now worked for them," Archie states making Cami stop pacing at that as she turns to Archie.

"After that, I stepped up now don't yell at me," Archie says sighing already seeing the angry look in Cami's eyes.

"I just became a kiss ass talking about all the stuff Mr.Lodge did and then they laughed but afterward he said I was like a mad dog. I told him I wouldn't let them disrespect us in our town. He was impressed with me," Archie tells Cami who sighs at that.

"...okay," Cami says making Archie raise an eyebrow at her.

"Really just okay? Are you alright?" Archie questions as Cami nods making Archie stare at her.

"Cami I've known you since I can remember and I know when you act like this something is wrong. And your lip is cracked which means you're biting your bottom lip again. What's going on?" Archie asks her as Cami sighs and sits beside Archie.

"Betty was telling me something Mom said about how alluring the Jones men are and I can't stop thinking that maybe my Mom and FP slept together and he's Chic's dad. What if I'm just a placeholder?" Cami questions as she bites her lip again playing with her fingers.

"First of all, you could never be a placeholder, especially to FP. I've seen how you look at him and I'm more than surprised no one else has either," Archie begins as Cami tilts her head. How does FP look at her?

"And second talk to him Cami. Just ask him because not knowing is worse than knowing and it will give your brain more time to overthink and come up with some scenarios," Archie tells the blonde who nods at that.

"Thanks, Arch," Cami tells him as Archie smiles at her kissing her forehead before helping Cami up who hugs him.

"How is she?" Cami whispers softly as Archie tightens his grip on her.

"Missing you," Archie says making Cami sigh.
"I'm not guilting you Cami," Archie tells her among Cami nods.

"I know you're not. I just...I miss her but I'm hurt and angry. And a little prideful," Cami tells him making Archie laugh as he releases her heading toward the door

"A little?" Archie questions as Cami slaps him laughing while they walk down the stairs but stop hearing two different voices.

"Okay, well, what about something like, uh-"I'm all about investing in all the citizens of Riverdale, not just profiting from them."," Jughead says making Cami and Archie share a look before heading towards the kitchen.

"I like that, Jug. I mean, that's great, it's simple...," Fred tells Jughead.

"Dad.
"Freddy. Jug."

Archie and Cami call making the two look towards the one with a smile and the other confused.

"Hey," Fred greets the two smiling.
"Jug, what's going on?" Archie questions watching the the island as Cami walks to hug Fred who smiles hugging her back.

"Oh, Jug's helping me out here with the, uh...It's what your mom's calls my "announcement address." I'm not much for speechifying, t writer I know," Fred says patting Jughead on the shoulder with a smile on his face.

"Uh, then you need to meet more writers, Mr. Andrews," Jughead jokes as Cami rolls her eyes playfully at that.

"Oh, by the way, son, your mom told me you'll be stopping by at the announcement, right? I appreciate that," Fred tells Archie who nods looking at Jughead who looks away looking towards Cami who smiles at him with a reassuring smile.

"Alright then let's get started on this speech," Cami says smiling as she rubs her hands together with a bright smile.

Fred smiles at Cami wrapping an arm around Cami's shoulder as he looks around his kitchen seeing all his kids in one room together.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The next morning Cami flips some pancake as she sips her coffee when her phone begins going off making her look to see Betty calling her.

"Hey Betts everything-?" Cami begins to questions before she is interrupted.

"Cami! Chic, he contacted Darla and she's been at the house all night. She said if we didn't give her ten grand she would contact Sheriff Keller. I'm at the bank and Mom just called someone else showed up. I-I don't know what to do," Betty rushes out before stuttering as Cami pauses.

"First breathe Betts," Cami commands her sister who sighs at that.

"Next you are going to get in your car and head straight to the trailer. Don't worry I'll handle everything," Cami says before hanging up as she heads towards the bedroom changing into a pair of dark jeans and dark top before pulling her hair up.

Walking out of the room with her heels on Cami grabs FP's serpent jacket before walking out of the trailer and seeing Sweet Pea across the trailer park talking to someone.

"Hey, protector!" Cami calls making Sweet Pea look towards her. Cami nods to her car making Sweet Pea rush towards her as she gets in.

"You look badass and determined. Who are we killing?" Sweet Pea questions as Cami chuckles.

"Not killing. Just a bit of threatening," Cami says shrugging as Sweet Pea looks at her.

"And you needed me for that?" Sweet Pea asks as Cami looks towards him out of the corner of her eyes.

"You're the muscle if needed. I've been told I have a really strong right hook," Cami comments making Sweet Pea chuckle.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Cami uses her key and unlocks her front door and walks inside making the four inside turn to her.

"Camilla-," Alice begins to say as Cami walks towards the two drug dealers and holds a wad of cash.

"Three thousand right here. If you take this and leave then I won't call the sheriff and tell him that you broke into our house," Cami states as the two scoff at her.

"Two now," Cami says shrugging as she takes a thousand from the wad of cash.

The two stand up and look at Cami as Darla walks towards her.

"I asked for ten," Darla says as Cami smiles at her.
"And you might get two," Cami responds as a knife appears at her throat.

"I could turn you all into the sheriff," Darla threatens as Cami scoffs at that.

"With what proof? I have my proof standing in front of me. You have none but your word, and who do you think the sheriff will trust? A respectful family that he has known since childhood or some dealer from out of town. Maybe I should call and ask?" Cami questions as she holds her phone up.

"So?" Cami questions as Darla looks at the cash and takes it.

"Let's go," Darla says as she steps back and the two leave Cami watching them go before turning around with a glare.

"Camilla-," Alice begins to say but Cami doesn't even look at her.

"You have twelve hours Chic. Get the hell out of my house," Cami tells the boy who looks at her and then Alice.

"Chic...you've put us in danger twice now. So I think that...you should do what you said and leave this house," Alice tells Chic who looks down at that before looking back at Alice.

"I will. I'll find a place," Chic tells Alice in a quiet voice.

"Do it quickly. Because you're not gonna spend another night here," Alice tells him as she kisses Cami's head and then walks away.

Cami stares at Chic and walks closer to him looking him down.

"Don't you ever put my family in danger again Chic. I might not seem it but out of everyone, I will be the one to end you. What I did to your little friend will be child's play to what I do to you," Cami threatens glaring at Chic before turning around and leaving the house slamming the door shut behind her.

"You good? You had about one more minute before I went inside," Sweet Pea tells Cami leaning against the car as the blonde smiles.

"I'm good, but I'm going to be late!" Cami says checking the time before running towards the Andrews house to change some clothes.

Sweet Pea chuckles shaking his head at the blonde as he looks up at the sky seeing the dark clouds forming.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

In front of the city hall, Cami politely squeezes between people to get in the front dressed in a long-sleeved sage green dress with a pair of white heels and an umbrella over her head.

"Cami," Mary calls making the girl head towards the side of the stage.

"You ready?" Mary questions making Cami look at her confused.

"You're coming up there with me," Fred tells her as Cami smiles at her brightly before looking around.

"Something came up," Fred tells her as Cami sighs but interlocks her arm with his.

"Let's show this town their future mayor," Cami tells Fred who smiles at her nodding his head before kissing the top of her head.

"Let's go Cami-Cam," Fred says as the three walk towards the podium where reporters stand.

"Good afternoon. My name is Fred Andrews. And I stand before you today, a humble resident of this town to announce my candidacy for Mayor," Fred begins as Cami smiles at him proudly under an umbrella beside Mary.

The three stand together as a united front as the audience applauds for Fred as Cami sends him a thumbs up and a proud smile.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Cami walks into the trailer with a bright smile as she removes her heels with a sigh of relief.

"Hey," a voice greets her making her look to see FP who stood up seeing her enter.

"Sweet Pea told me what happened today. Are you okay?" FP questions as Cami stares at her.

"Did you use to have sex with my Mom?" Cami blurts out making FP stumble at that as Cami bites her lip.

FP stares at Cami speechless before he bursts out laughing making Cami stare at him as he laughs so hard he falls into his chair.

"Me and Alice?" FP questions as he laughs even harder shaking his head Cami sighs at that running a hand down her face.

"Never mind," Cami goes to turn out but FP grabs her hand pulling Cami into his lap who stares at him.

"Is this why you have been acting weird? You think I slept with Alice?" FP questions as Cami shrugs making him chuckle as he shakes his head.

"In high school, I was a completely different person Trouble. I was on the football team. I was actually the quarterback and had a bunch of scouts but an accident happened and I broke my arm. It never healed right and I lost my scholarships. Got dragged into the serpent by my Dad got depressed joined the army, but I never and I mean never slept with Alice Smith or Cooper. The only Smith woman I've touched is you," FP tells Cami who sighs in relief before leaning into FP.

"I'm sorry for not saying anything or asking about anything," Cami whispers as FP kisses the top of her head.

"You did. You came and talked about it. Cami if you have a question ask it. Worried tell me. Don't get nervous or scared to do so," FP tells Cami who nods as she lies on his chest watching the TV.

FP kisses the top of her head holding her tightly before pausing seeing something.

"What is that on your neck?" FP questions making Cami look wide-eyed as she gulps slightly then begins laughing nervously.

"Well, you see...I might have had a knife to the throat," Cami says sheepishly making FP stare at her in disbelief that slowly turns to anger.

Cami yelps as she tries to run out of the room but FP catches her throwing her over his shoulder.

Cami laughs as she pinches FP's butt as he shakes his head heading towards the bedroom.

"You are going to be wishing Jughead was coming home in just a few minutes Trouble. I think a punishment is needed," FP says as Cami gulps but pinches his butt one more time laughing as she is thrown onto the bed.

"Definitely is," Cami says pulling FP on top of her as she kisses his lips in a hungry kiss.
