A moment.

Some people say a single moment can change your life, but truthfully that is a lie. It's multiple different moments that can completely change your life.

And Camilla Cooper was about to experience that moment.

Well truthfully her life was already in the process of changing, and she didn't even know. But soon she would.

Cami sat at the corner in Pop's laughing at the elder man while he hands her a strawberry milkshake just how she likes it.

Pop reminds the first time he truly met the middle Cooper. She was seven and just got a bike for her birthday. She begged her parents to let her ride it to Pop's diner.

Alice was hesitant but Hal told her that she will only be young once so he agreed to let her go.

Cami rode all the way there and walked in with her strawberry blonde hair in a ponytail before climbing to sit down on the stools on the counter a bright smile on her face when Pop walked over to her asking what she wanted.

One strawberry milkshake please we're the words she told him with a front tooth missing. And once he told her sure the little girl began to ramble about how it's her favorite milkshake because she loved strawberries so much. How she got a bike for her birthday and she had to coke get a milkshake for her special day.

Pop listened to everything she said as he added extra strawberries to the milkshake and put in extra whip cream. He called it the Cami special.

And it was immediately worth it when he saw the bright smile on her face. Pop didn't charge her for her milkshake that day and told her every year for her birthday she will always get a free one.

And that was how Pop became Cami's happy place. The one place she went to when she felt overwhelmed or needed to get away.

She would sit down at the counter and ramble to Pop about everything while drinking her favorite milkshake.

But what she didn't realize was that her favorite spot was about to become one of the places where her life completely changed.

As she sat at the counter telling Pop about her day she didn't realize her little sister's eyes watching her closely

Betty wanted to walk over to her and tell her everything. To tell Cami everything she knew but she couldn't. She needed more information before she just told her sister.

For if the information she had was wrong it would destroy her sister's relationship, but if it was true it would destroy her sister's heart.

Betty needed all the facts beforehand but in her heart, she knew the truth, and she didn't understand how Archie could do this to her sister.

As the doorbell rings Cami looks towards it confused slightly seeing Archie and Ms. Grundy walking in before smiling brightly seeing her favorite person in the world.

"Fred!"Cami exclaims jumping off the stool and making the older man turn to her smiling.

"Cami-Cam!" Fred says as she jumps into his arms hugging him tightly making Fred laugh.

Once the two pull away does Cami kiss Archie's cheek and then smiles at Ms.Grundy who was looking very uncomfortable.

"Geraldine, do you know my favorite daughter-in-law?" Fred asks the older woman making Cami laugh at him rolling her eyes the two missing the uneasy looks from Archie and Ms.Grundy. 

"Yes...Camilla, it's nice to see you again," Ms.Grundy says very tense as Cami waves her off.

"Please call me Cami. Only my parents call me Camilla," Cami tells the older woman with a soft smile hoping to ease her uneasiness.

"Come on Cami-Cam," Fred tells her guiding her to sit in the booths with him. Cami smiles happily as she sits beside Ms.Grundy and Fred and Archie across from them.

Before any of the four could say anything Betty shows up at the table.

"Hey, Betty," Fred greets noticing her first making Cami smile at her sister.

"Hey Betts," Cami tells her as Betty looks at her sister uneasy making her worried.

"Hi, Mr. Andrews, Cami, Ms. Grundy," Betty greets the three her gaze on the two girls a bit longer before she looks at her Archie.

"Archie, can I talk to you?" Betty asks the boy making Cami watch the two as she takes a sip of her milkshake.

"Sure. I'll call you later?" Archie questions her making Betty shake her head.  

"No. Actually, now. Just school stuff. Outside?" Betty questions Archie who looks at her and then Cami who watches the two worriedly.

"I'll be right back," Archie says getting out of the booth and leaving with Betty.

"That was...strange," Cami says before laughing softly.
"So...what do you three do today?" Cami asks the two adults making Fred smile at her.

"Archie took me to see Ms.Grundy play," Fred says making Cami look at her with a bright smile.

"That's amazing! I've heard about how talented you are Ms.Grundy. I can only imagine how wonderful you were," Cami tells the older woman who gulps slightly looking at her.

"Thank you," Ms.Grundy tells her as Cami nods looking down at her milkshake missing the look of guilt passing Ms. Grundy's eyes.

She has heard how wonderful and kind Camilla Cooper was. If you asked anyone in Riverdale for help they would point you in her direction.

Ms.Grundy remembered the first time she meet the blonde. It was her first day teaching and the girl showed up with orchids, homemade baked goods, and a bright smile to welcome her.

And for the first time since this summer as Ms.Grundy while staring at the girl who was laughing with her student who she was having an affair felt guilty. More than guilty. She felt sick to her stomach.

Meanwhile, outside Archie and Betty stand next to the motorcycles. Archie looks back to the booth inside slightly as Betty watches him between hope and worry. 

"Archie, as your best friend, is there anything you want to tell me?" Betty asks the redhead who pauses at that looking at her.

"I don't think so," Archie tells her after a moment confused making Betty sigh.

"Ms. Grundy was at Sweetwater River on July 4th," Betty says as Archie's entire face drops looking at her.

"Were you with her?" Betty asks him getting straight to the point. Archie looks at her and then towards Pop's seeing Cami now sitting beside his father laughing before looking back at Betty.

"Did Jughead tell you?" Archie asks her making Betty look at him surprised.

"Jughead knows about this? Does Cami? Your girlfriend. My sister," Betty asks Archie with her arms crossed staring at him.

"It's not what you're thinking," Archie tells her quickly.
"So, it's platonic?" Betty asks him as Archie licks his lips worriedly.

"Okay, well, maybe it's a little like what you're thinking...," Archie begins to say before Betty interrupts him.

"Archie. Are you and Ms. Grundy, like, together, like, romantically? As in you cheating on my sister?" Betty asks him wanting to find out the truth. Neither noticed the raven hair girl walking towards them.

"Oh, my God. You and your music teacher are having an affair? Behind your perfect, gorgeous, and most kindhearted girlfriend back?" Veronica asks Archie in disbelief who looks towards her.

"We are...," Archie begins to say before pausing trying to find the words.

"...together. Look, I know that sounds bad, but...," Archie tries to explain to the two girls before Veronica interrupts him. 

"Bad? It sounds scandalous," Veronica tells him.
"It sounds like jail time to me. Illegal!" Betty exclaims to him.

"Betty, don't go there," Archie tells her shaking his head.

"Oh, I'm already there," Betty tells him in disbelief.
"Ronnie, a little help here?" Archie pleads to the raven-haired girl who stutters slightly.

"I mean, technically, Betty's right. And ethically...well, what is Grundy to you, anyway, your girlfriend?" Veronica questions before pausing and looking at him in disbelief.

"Wait...so that means you're cheating on Cami? With your music teacher?! Who she is talking to right now?!" Veronica asks looking at Archie disgusted before looking at Pop's.

With a clenched jaw, she turns and begins storming towards the diner making Archie look wide-eyed.

"She knows!" Archie shouts before he has a moment to process the words. Betty looks up at him wide-eyed as Veronica turns to him not believing what he was saying.

"Camilla Cooper knows you are cheating on her? With your music teacher? And is having dinner with her and your father?" Veronica asks him crossing her arms not believing a word he was saying.

"...uhm yes?" Archie questions more then states as the two girls look at her.

"No, I know my sister. She hates cheaters. She always has. She wouldn't still be with you if you were cheating on her," Betty says more to herself than anyone shaking her head.

"...she wants to work it out. She doesn't want to talk about it. With anyone!" Archie tells the two girls who just look at him.

"She's already upset as it is," Archie tells them as Veronica and Betty look at him. Betty looks towards the diner making Archie follow her eyesight.

"Betty," Archie says looking at the blonde who looks at him but before she could say anything car honks making the three look to see Alice Cooper.

"Get in the car, Betty. Now," Alice demands her youngest daughter who looks at her, and then Archie shakes her head slightly as she gets in the car.

"Oh, Archiekins...you're in it deep this time. You messed up," Veronica tells him sighing as he looks back at the diner and rushes in and towards the table everyone was at.

"Oh, Dad I completely forgot but Betty reminded me I have a paper due that I need Cami's help on," Archie explains quickly looking over to where Veronica was sitting down with Kevin and Jughead a bit panicked.

"Ooh," Fred says as Cami eyes her boyfriend. 
"Well, you two head to the house. I'll get the food," Fred says making Archie nod as he grabs Cami's stuff and then her head.

"Well I guess bye Ms.Grundy. I'll see you at school.  And I'll see you Mr.Andrews at the house," Cami tells him smiling before she was pulled out of the diner by Archie.

"Archie, what is wrong?" Cami asks him as they begin walking to the Andrews's house. Once far enough away Archie stops and looks at Cami who eyes him carefully.

"Arch," Cami whispers before Archie leans in kissing her wrapping his arms around her tightly Cami pause in surprise before wrapping her own arms around him and kissing him back.

"I love you," Archie whispers breathlessly against Cami's lips who smiles at him.

"I love you too," Cami tells him softly rubbing his cheek with a soft smile on her lips. Archie leans back in kissing her once again trying to put into his kiss how sorry he was and how much he wished he didn't hurt her.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

The next morning at the Andrews house Cami wakes up to kisses on her naked shoulder blade and then up her neck making her turn her head slightly to see Archie smiling at her.

"I never get sick of waking up with you in my arms," Archie tells Cami kissing her lips who laughs at him.

"Good morning to you too," Cami whispers as she turns over kissing her lips softly to his. Archie smiles pulling her closer to him and making Cami laugh into the kiss.

"Ugh...we have to get up," Cami says pushing Archie away seeing the time on the alarm clock. Archie groans as he lays back down. Cami chuckles as she pushes the covers off her leaving her in only a white lace bra with a pair of matching underwear.

Archie watches as she heads towards his closet looking for something to wear.

"I knew I left this here before I left for New York," Cami states pulling out her favorite sundress which was green sigh white flowers.

Archie laughs at her while Cami puts it on before heading towards his mirror sighing and pulling her hair in a ponytail her curls from yesterday fell last night but she didn't have enough time to curl it again.

"Archie we have to go! We are going to be late," Cami tells him throwing a shirt at him as she heads towards the nightstand to grab her phone.

"Let's stay here all day instead. You in my arms. We will either watch your favorite tv show," Archie tells Cami who just raises an eyebrow at him.

"You really think my mom and your dad will let us stay here in your room all day? I didn't think your mind would still be cloudy," Cami says smirking and kissing his lips.

Archie shakes his head before getting up only in his underwear Cami smirks looking the redhead up and down.

"Alright my mind is beginning to change," Cami tells Archie nodding her head who smiles walking towards her.

"Oh really?" Archie questions smirking as Cami wraps her arm around his neck when a knock is sounded on the other side of the door.

"Come on! You will both be late," Fred says making Cami pull back.

"And the mood ruined," Cami says pulling back and chuckling as she grabs her phone.

"Dang it. I forgot to charge my phone last night," Cami says before leaning up and kissing Archie's lips softly.

"I love you," Cami whispers walking out of the room as Archie watches her go but the moment she's gone his smile disappears. 

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

After brushing her teeth Cami walks downstairs and towards the kitchen rubbing Vegas' head before sitting down at the island.

"Morning Cami," Fred says placing some pancakes on a plate for her making Cami smile at him.

"Thanks, Freddy," Cami tells him smiling brightly as she begins cutting her pancakes. Fred nods watching her as Cami places her first bite in her mouth.

"Do we need to have the talk?" Fred questions making Cami choke on her breakfast. Fred looks at her wide-eyed before patting her back.

"Are you trying to kill me?!" Cami asks him wide-eyed making Fred look at her apologetically before sighing.

"You have a bright future Cami-Cam. I don't want a small mishap or heat of the moment to stop that for you. But I know no matter everything will be okay because you're you. But I want to make sure you are safe," Fred tells Cami who smiles at him softly.

"I won't say this isn't awkward because it is," Cami begins making Fred nod agreeing with her.

"But my mom put me on birth control when I was fifteen. And I always make sure protection is used," Cami says blushing brightly as Fred nods not making eye contact with Cami.

"I mean Freddy who do you think you're speaking to? I'm the most organized and careful person to exist!" Cami says making Fred laugh at that nodding his head.

"You're right...but cami if something happened I want you to know you can come to me. I'll always be beside you and help you," Fred tells Cami who smiles softly placing her hand on his hand.

"Thanks, Freddy. And if an accident happened I would come to you first," Cami says before going back to her pancake making Fred smile softly and drinking his coffee.

Truthfully Fred always wanted a little girl. He always wanted a little girl to play tea parties with, to learn how to do her hair, to paint her toenails, to cheer her on during all her accomplishments, and to give her away on her wedding day.

Don't get him wrong when his wife Mary had Archie he was so happy to have a little boy but still wanted a little girl. But Archie was their miracle and he knew Mary didn't want to go through that again.

So Fred pushed down his dream and became the best day he could be for his son.

But then one day Camilla Cooper fell off her back right in front of his house.

Fred knew who she was and saw neither of her parents were home. With that, he took her inside and patched up her scrapped knee before handing her an ice cream cone.

The two then spent the rest of the day together till Fred took Cami home once her parents returned. And then the next day Cami came back and then the next day. And the next.

Fred noticed how Cami's father favored Polly while her mom favored Betty so suddenly Fred had a daughter. He had Mary teach him how to paint her nails and toes and how to braid her hair. Fred sat in the first row for every award show and recital.

Cami became Fred's daughter. He loved her as his own. And Fred promised himself to always protect his daughter. Fred snapped out of his thoughts when Archie comes downstairs and kisses the top of Cami's head.

"Hey Dad," Archie greets his dad who smiles at him.
"Hey Archie," Fred tells him as Archie sits down beside Cami kissing her cheek and making Cami smile at him.

And something told Fred something was about to hurt his daughter.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Walking to school Archie's arm beside her Cami smile at him before looking at him excitedly.

"Ooh! The last night for the drive-in is coming up soon! We have to go!" Cami tells Archie who laughs at her nodding his head.

"I like that idea. I'll meet you there and we'll make a whole night out of it," Archie tells Cami who smiles at him brightly.

"I love that idea," Cami tells Archie who looks back towards the road.

"You know what...let's not wait till this weekend. Let's make a day today. We can head towards Sweetwater River today," Archie says making Cami open and close her mouth.

"We can go swimming. Go get milkshakes. Like we used to," Archie tells Cami who sighs at him squinting her eyes.

"You are a bad influence, Arch," Cami says making Archie smile at her before grabbing her hand and pulling her towards the river as Cami giggles at him.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

At the high school in the student lounge, Veronica repeatedly texts Cami. The same thing she's been doing since last night but the blonde wouldn't answer.

"What's wrong with you?" Kevin questions her sitting in front of her and making Veronica look at him.

"Trying to get ahold of Cam but she won't answer me. I know she's usually here in the morning so I'm waiting for her," Veronica says making Kevin look at her.

"You know now that I think about it she wasn't in first period I should have noticed when I didn't hear her answering the questions," Kevin says making Veronica look at him and immediately get up and begins heading out the lounge only to see Betty.

"Veronica!"
"Betty!"

The two exclaims walking towards the two.
"Have you seen Cami?" The two ask the other before they suddenly pause.

"Her phone is off. She didn't even come home last night. I told my parents she was at yours last night," Betty says worriedly as Veronica sighs.

"I don't know. But I know something wrong," Veronica says as the two girls share a look. Something told them this wasn't just a coincidence.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Meanwhile, at the Cooper house, Alice begins putting up Betty's clothes before heading to Cami's to up her up.

But as she goes to lay Betty's clothes in her drawer she notices something silver. Grabbing it Alice pulls out with just two fingers and a gun making her stare at it in disbelief and worry.

Before she heads toward Betty's vanity finding her youngest daughter's diary. Opening Alice flips through the pages to the last entry and begins reading through everything.

From Archie cheating on her daughter with Ms.Grundy his music teacher to Veronica and Betty searching Ms. Grundy's car and finding the gun in it.

And all she could feel was disbelief and anger. Alice knew that redhead would only do one thing and one thing only. Hurt her daughter.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

After the day at the river Cami's hair still slightly wet walks back towards her house alone. Archie told her he had to meet Ms.Grundy at the school about missing practice and that he'll meet her at his house for their drive-in date night.

But when she was a block from her house a car suddenly stops beside her making her look towards it panicked and fear went through her body when she spots her mom.

"Camilla! Cooper! Get in right now," Alice demands making Cami immediately nods getting in the car. Cami gets in the passenger seat and before she could even buckle her seat belt Alice drives offs.

Cami gulps slightly worriedly as she looks at her sister who just looks at her wide guilt making Cami confused.

What was going on? Actually, what didn't she know?

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"Betty, what's going on? Oh my goodness did Mom find out I stayed at Archie's last night?" Cami asks panicked as she watches her mom storm over to Fred Andrews's truck.

"You were with Archie last night?" Betty asks her sister who watches her confused.

"Uhm yeah and then we skipped today for a date at Sweetwater River...Betty, what's going on?" Cami asks her worriedly. Betty opens her mouth and goes to respond when her mom opens the door and gets out.

Backing up Alice leaves the drive-through with Fred following her. Cami looks at Betty who sighs slightly.

"I'm sorry," Betty whispers to her sister before facing the front. Cami gulps slightly scared as she takes deep breaths picking at her nails.

Something was about to happen. Something invoking her and it wasn't going to be go at all.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Cami follows her sister who was following her mom in the high school Fred behind the three Coopers.

Cami watches her Mom who stomps through the halls like a woman on a mission. Once she gets in front of the music room does Alice throw open the door making Cami confused.

"Well, well, well," Alice says making Cami walk into the room and confusion washes over her face as she looks at Archie and Ms.Grundy.

"There they are. What did I tell you?" Alice states looking at Fred as Cami looks between everyone in the room confused.

"Can someone tell me what's going on here?" Ms.Grundy questions making Cami nod.

"I agree with that statement. Betty?" Cami questions looking at her sister who wouldn't look at her.

"Arch?" Cami looks at her boyfriend who looks at her wide-eyed before with a heartbroken expression.

"Of course. Archie, would you like to share with us what you and Mrs. Robinson have been doing during your "music lesson"? And please don't leave out any of the lurid details, because Betty here keeps a very meticulous diary, and I'm more than happy to fill in the details," Alice states as Cami looks between Archie and then Ms.Grundy.

Every moment since she came back comes rushing to her. How Archie's been acting. The gifts. The avoiding eye contact. How weird he's been acting. How distant. But at the same time too sweet, too accommodating.

And Cami realized what her heart already knew. What her head has been trying to tell her all along as she looks at the two guilty parties.

And it was like her world just stopped as she place her hand over her mouth as tears appear in her eyes shaking her head slightly.

"You didn't," Cami begs as her voice breaks slightly making Archie look at her.

"Cam-," Archie whispers staring at her as Cami shakes her head.

"How long?" Cami asks Archie who opens his mouth and closes it making Cami turn her hurt glaze to Ms.Grundy.

"Tell me...I deserve that as much," Cami says with a clenched jaw but tears in her eyes. 

"The beginning of the summer," Ms.Grundy whispers to Cami who gasps slightly stomping back as she goes to leave the music room.

"Cami Cami wait, please. Let me explain. Please let me explain," Archie yells rushing towards her and grabbing her arm but Cami snatches it out of his grip as if it burned her.

"I don't mean it...I didn't want to hurt you. I knew if I did I would. I couldn't do that. I couldn't hurt you," Archie tells her as a scoff was heard and Cami stares at him.

"But you already did. The moment you put your dick inside our music teacher you hurt me," Cami tells Archie who looks down at that.

"Just tell me were you ever going to say anything? How long did you think you could keep this secret a secret?" Cami asks Archie who looks at her heartbroken.

"None of it was real. It was all a fucking lie. How could you?" Cami asks him in a broken whisper as she goes to leave.

"Cami! Cami wait!" Betty yells after her sister who turns to her with tears in her eyes.

"Did you know?" Cami asks her throat tight making Betty nod slightly as Cami bites her lip to stop the sob from leaving her mouth.

"Veronica? Jughead?" Cami questions but Betty wouldn't look at her making her scoff and shaking her head.

"Cam-I'm..I'm sorry. He told us he told you. I thought you knew and when I realized you didn't I tried to tell you. We tried to find and tell you!" Betty begs her sister who scoffs at her words.

"Clearly you don't know me at all Betty. I would never stay with someone who was cheating on me. Never," Cami tells her sister before looking at Ms.Grundy.

"You have twenty-four hours to get out of Riverdale before I make your life your own personal hell. Starting with going to Keller," Cami says with a clenched jaw, and with that Camilla Cooper turned and stormed out of the music room.

She needed to get away from everyone and everything ignoring Archie and Betty's calls after her as she gets out with her mom's keys.

Cracking the car Cami speeds out of the high school parking lot when she feels something wet on her cheek.

Wiping her face Cami feels the tear making her sob slightly covering her mouth while she continues to drive.

She just wanted to get away. To get away from the heartache. To the betrayal. To the embarrassment.

As she drives Cami sees a bar making her turn and park her car getting out. She knew everyone would look for her on the Northside. No one would think Camilla Cooper went to the Southside and right now she just needed to be alone.

Getting out of the car Cami walks inside something called the Whtie Wyrm. Walking in Cami ignores everyone staring at her as she heads towards the bar.

"I need your stronger shot, please. And keep them coming. Please," Cami begs as she sits down at the bar. A girl with pink hair looks at her with a raised eyebrow.

"Pretty sure you are at the wrong place," the girl tells Cami who looks at her. Cami opens her purse and places a hundred-dollar bill on the counter.

"Can I have it now?" Cami asks the girl who nods taking the hundred and placing the shot down on the counter.

Cami grabs it and takes the shot in one swallow not even cringing as Toni watches her with a raised eyebrow.

"Another please," Cami states placing the shot on the counter. Toni nods slightly pouring another shot for Cami who takes the shot again in one swallow not even cringing once again as she place it back down.

About five shots later Toni watches Cami the entire time as she dries the glasses.

"Toni...it is Toni right?" Cami asks the girl who nods her head at her.

"I just...I don't how to feel Toni. He cheated on me with our music teacher," Cami tells the girl who raises an eyebrow at her.

"But I can't get these thoughts out of my head. He hurt me. He lied to me. He had other people lie to me. I feel like a fucking idiot!" Cami exclaims as she swallows her next shot.

"But...," Cami says sighing as Toni looks at her.
"Was he groomed? Did he ever actually love me? Toni, how did I miss the signs? They were all right there in front of me and I ignored them," Cami says looking at the girl as she props her head up on her hand that lay on the bar.

"Just...why wasn't I good enough? I try so hard to be perfect. The perfect daughter. Girlfriend. Sister. Friend. I try so hard, but I'm never the one. Not for my parents. Not for my friends. Not for Archie. Not even for myself," Cami tells the girl as she sniffles drowning another shot.

"Hey," Toni says softly as she raises her hand to wipe the blonde tears who looks at her sadly.

"From the sound of it, it sounds like he messed up. You can't blame yourself for his mistake," Toni tells her as Cami nods slightly

"Am I just not sexy enough? I mean I know I'm not the prettiest girl in the world. I'm not a supermodel or anything-," Cami begins to say but Toni scoffs.

"Alright shut up. Now," Toni tells Cami with a glare leaning closer to her as Cami looks up at her with a small pout.

"You are drop-dead gorgeous. I'm actually pissed he cheated on a goddess like you and even more pissed that your straight," Toni says making Cami chuckle as she blushes slightly wiping her tears.

"He's the idiot who lost the best thing to happen to him," Toni tells Cami who smiles at her before leaning over the bar and hugging her tightly.

"Ooh...you're hugging me," Toni states as Cami nods.
"Yep. I love you now," Cami says sniffling making Toni laugh at her.

Cami pulls back smiling brightly at her as Toni shakes her head handing Cami some Oreos.

"Every girl needs something sweet after getting her heartbroken," Toni says as Cami opens and closes her mouth before wiping her tears.

"Thank you," Cami says sniffling as she eats her Oreos. Toni laughs at her before groaning as she sees Sweet Pea walking toward the bar and sitting right beside Cami.

"Well well well dressed like that you have to be on the wrong side of the tracks but I'm definitely not complaining. Hello beautiful," Sweet Pea says looking Cami up and down who looks at him and then Toni.

"Is he serious?" Cami asks Toni who sighs nodding.
"Sadly yes," Toni tells Cami who looks back at the boy who smirks.

"Have you not noticed the plate of Oreos? Multiple shot glasses? Red eyes? And mascara marks? I look like trash," Cami says scoffing as she eats more of her
Oreos.

"The most gorgeous trash," Sweet Pea tells her as Cami shakes her head.

"All male species I want to hit their balls with a bat," Cami informs Sweet Pea who laughs at her.

"I like her," Sweet Pea tells Toni who shakes her head.
"I like you," Sweet Pea tells Cami who chuckles slightly.

"At least you do. My cheating ex apparently liked our music teacher more," Cami says scoffing as Sweet Pea wince before smirking.

"You know they say the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else," Sweet Pea tells her with a suggested look. Cami just looks at him and shakes her head.

"Stop!" Toni says hitting him with a towel.
"Fine! Fine. I'll stop but at least let me distract you from your terrible night," Sweet Pea says making Cami raise an eyebrow at him.

"A game of pole. The loser has to buy the winner a drink?" Sweet Pea suggests making Cami smirk.

"Ooh, you are on!" Cami tells him jumping off the stool and stumbling slightly but raises her hands.

"I'm okay!" Cami exclaims heading towards the pool table as Sweet Pea laughs and Toni sends him a pointed look.

"I'm not doing anything. She seems like she needs her mind off of it," Sweet Pea tells Toni who sighs nodding slightly before eyeing Cami.

"Where's her shoes?" Toni questions seeing Cami's bare feet. Sweet Pea looks down at the stool Cami was sitting at and grabs her shoes.

"Here you go," Sweet Pea tells Toni handing her the shoes before heading towards Cami who was now talking to Fangs with a bright smile.

"Are you ready to lose Northside Princess?" Sweet Pea asks her making her smirk.

"Shouldn't I ask you that?" Cami questions him making Fangs laugh as the three set up to play.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"Yes!" Cami exclaims spinning around laughing as the two playing groan losing and the Serpents who were watching and betting laugh or groan.

"I get a drink! I get a drink!" Cami says in a singsong voice laughing as Sweet Pea leads her to the bar.

"Toni. Cami won. Again," Sweet Pea tells her making Toni laugh at his pout.

"How is it the drunker you get the better you play?" Sweet Pea asks the girl who looks at him with glossy eyes.

"I'm just that amazing," Cami tells him bopping his nose as Sweet Pea glares at her.

Cami laughs at him as she raises the shot to mouth and the second she takes it a throat clears behind her making Toni and Sweet Pea immediately tense as the music is suddenly turned down and the bar is slightly more quiet than before.

"Camilla Cooper...what the hell are you doing here?" A voice asks her making her immediately tense as she spins around in her chair only to see FP Jones staring straight into her dazed drunken eyes with an angry expression on his face and even anger look in his eyes.

"Ooh shit," Cami whispers wide-eyed as FP stomps over to her making her try to get up but stumbles making FP catch her.

"How many drinks has she had?" FP asks Toni who looks at him wide-eyed.

"Not that many," Cami says her words slurred as he sits her back on her stool as FP sighs.

"Let me call Fred," FP says pulling his phone out. FP knew all about Camilla Cooper from Fred. She used to visit their work sites handing out water bottles and sandwiches with a bright smile on her face.

"No!" Cami yells snatching the phone out of his hand. FP raises an eyebrow her. 

"You can't. Please! He'll come and get me! And then I'll have to see Archie! Who fucked his music behind my back!" Cami exclaims making Sweet Pea try to hide his laugh as FP stares at her slightly amused while Cami's eye turns wide turning to Toni.

"Wait do I need to get an STD check?!" Cami asks Toni who laughs at her.

"Alright. That's enough," FP tells her as he grabs the blonde holding her in a bridal hold who lays her head on his shoulder.

"You're pretty," Cami says patting FP's cheek who looks towards Toni.

"Here's her keys. Purse. Her phone is dead. And she only had a few shots. She's been getting water for the last hour," Toni tells FP who nods grabbing Cami's items.

"So long my beautiful friends!" Cami exclaims waving at the serpents with a bright smile who look at the girl amused. FP sighs shaking his head and walking towards the exit of the car.

"Please...don't take my home. I can't," Cami whispers to him begging before she passed out in his arms. With a sigh, FP looks down at the girl trying to figure out what to do with her.
