"Cami! Please! I'm starving," Veronica begs the girl who shakes her head.

"Nope. No matter how much I'm craving a strawberry milkshake I'm not going to Pops and neither should you," Cami tells Veronica who looks at her and groans.

"We're going to starve to death!" Veronica states as Cami scoffs at her shaking her head.

"We'll be fine. There are other places to get food. Maybe not a strawberry milkshake like Pop's," Cami says shrugging as Veronica laughs at her just as Cami's phone begins to ring.

Cami looks at it and immediately sends it to voicemail ignoring her phone now as Veronica looks at her.

"Your Mom or Betty?" Veronica questions her as Cami sighs.

"Mom. Probably wondering where I am. I'm eighteen though so technically I don't have to be there anymore," Cami states as Veronica stares at her knowing this isn't the end of her rant.

"One day Vee! One day I have one day out of the year. My mom went to a party for me and didn't even tell me happy birthday. Betty became a cringe-fest when she decided to do the serpent dance! On my birthday! And I know for a fact she had everything planned! And even my Dad messaged me happy birthday and has a gift for me! Ugh!" Cami exclaims before throwing herself back on the bed as Veronica pats her head.

"I have to go home don't I?" Cami whispers to Veronica who shrugs at her.

"Not technically. You can stay here for as long as you want but we do live in a very small town. You will see them eventually," Veronica says making Cami groan as she covers her face with the pillow.

"Betty wants to come over tomorrow," Veronica says making Cami snap her head up towards Veronica.

"So while she's here go home and get some things before coming back here," Veronica tells Cami who smiles at her sighing.

"Ooh, I love you!" Cami exclaims jumping on Veronica and knocking her down on the bed as Veronica laughs.

"You know if we weren't into guys and their dicks we would be the perfect couple," Cami tells Veronica who nods.

"The perfect it couple," Veronica tells Cami who smiles at her.

"I love you, Vee," Cami says softly laying her head on Veronica's shoulder.

"I love you too Cee," Veronica tells her laying her head on top of Cami's.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

With a sigh, Cami unlocks the door to her house before walking inside and heading straight towards the stairs.

"And where have you been?" A voice questions Cami behind her making the blonde sigh as she pauses turning her head slightly to see her mom standing there with her arms crossed.

"Out," Cami tells Alice who glares at her even harder.
"For over a week! You should be happy I didn't call the cops!" Alice exclaims as Cami laughs at her.

"They couldn't do anything. After you turn eighteen you are an official adult in the eyes of the law," Cami tells her Mom as she begins stomping up the stairs

"You aren't eighteen!" Alice exclaims making Cami freeze.

"That party what was it for?" Cami questions Alice who stares up at her.

"FP's was supposed to retire," Alice tells Camo who could feel the tears welling in her eyes.

"And?" Cami questions clearing her threat that breaks slightly.

"And nothing Cami! What is this about?!" Alice questions done with the questions from her daughter making Cami turn around and glare at her stomping down the stairs.

"It was for my birthday! My eighteen birthday! You forgot and continue to forget about Mom!" Cami exclaims to her done rolling over as Alice stares at her.

"I've tried my whole life to be perfect and not for me. But for you," Cami says as tears fall down her cheeks.

"But you don't care and you never will because I'm not Betty. I'm just the one you take advantage of and remember when Betty is mad at you," Cami says as Alice's entire face crumbles.

"Cami-," Alice begins as Cami raises a hand stopping her.

"I'm done being your second choice. I'm done feeling inadequate. I'm eighteen now which means I don't have to live under your roof," Cami tells her wiping her tears as she heads towards the door.

"You can keep everything in there. It was never really even anything I wanted. It's what you wanted," Cami says softly leaving as Alice watches her with tears in her eyes.

Cami sniffles as she rushes next door and begins knocking on the door.

"Cami?" Fred questions worriedly as Cami begins sobbing making Archie pull her into his arms tightly.

"I got you, Cam. I gotcha you," Fred tells her softly as he runs his fingers through her hair Cami just sobs for her ten-year-old self who just wanted her Mom to love her for her.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Cami sat on the stool at the island in the Andrews's kitchen as Fred put a plate of chocolate chip pancakes in front of her.

"Thank you," Cami tells him sniffling slightly as she wipes her tears.

"Want to talk about it?" Fred questions the girl softly as Cami looks at him.

"Well I'm basically homeless and only have the clothes on my back since I told my mom I was done being her second choice," Cami tells Fred who stares at her.

"You are not homeless and you have as many clothes here as you have there," Fred tells Cami who smiles at him softly.

"I couldn't do it anymore Freddie. It...it just hurt too much," Cami tells him as she sighs wiping her tears again.

"Cami," Fred calls making the blonde look up at him with tears in her eyes.

"I know it doesn't feel like it now, but one day everything will be better. You won't have to apologize for being happy. You won't have to feel guilty for putting you first, for the first time," Fred tells her as he reaches out and wipes the tears falling down her cheek as Cami shakes her head slightly.

"It doesn't feel like it Freddie," Cami says as she leans into him Fred nods kissing the top of her head.

"I know Cami-Cam," Fred tells her as Cami sighs her entire body finally relaxing in his hold.

"You know I do want to ask about that mark on your neck-," Fred says as Cami gasps covering her neck.

"-but I have the feeling I don't want to know," Fred finishes as Cami looks at him with red cheeks before she begins to laugh making Fred laugh with her.

"There's that smile," Fred tells Cami who smiles at him as she lays her head back on his shoulder.

"Thank you, Freddie," Cami whispers softly to him.
"It's no problem Cami-Cam," Fred tells her.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

After crying with Fred and then eating some pancakes Cami hugged the man goodbye before heading towards school where she was supposed to meet everyone for the Secret Santa exchange.

Dressed in a red turtleneck sweater and a plaid red and black skirt with a pair of booties Cami walks down the halls of the high school towards the student lounge where she sees a familiar back.

"Forsythe Pendleton Jones III!" Cami exclaims and watches as Jughead's entire body tense up before he turns around and looks towards Cami with a sheepish expression.

"You look so beautiful Cam," Jughead says playing mister innocent as Cami stares at him before walking towards him Jughead's body tensing more and more as he hears her heels getting closer to him.

Jughead tries to back away from her as Cami reaches out and grabs his ear twisting it making Jughead scream out as he falls to his knees.

"Drugs!" Cami whisper shouts as Jughead looks down scared to look her in the eyes and see the disappointment in her eyes.

"You ran drugs for the woman I told you to watch out for! Are you out of your mind? I should kick your ass maybe it will knock some sense into you!" Cami tells him angrily but in a whisper so no one overhears them.

"I'm sorry," Jughead says softly and full of regret.
"I know I messed up. A lot. And now my Dad and the serpents are paying for it. I should have came to you. I should have told you and I was going to but it was your birthday. I didn't want you to worry," Jughead tells Cami who stares at him before sighing and pulling him up.

"You are such an idiot Juggie," Cami tells him shaking her head as Jughead nods his head.

"But your heart was in the right place," Cami tells him making Jughead snap his head up at her as Cami smiles softly before pulling him into a tight hug.

Jughead sighs in relief before hugging Cami tight to him.

"Thank you. Dad is already beyond mad and disappointed in me. I couldn't deal with you being the same," Jughead tells Cami who runs her fingers through his hair at the base of his neck.

"He's not mad or disappointed Juggie. He's worried. He's a Dad. He's just showing it the only way he can at the moment," Cami tells Jughead who nods holding her tight to him.

"Now come on we can't be late or Kev will kill us," Cami tells Jughead who laughs at her as he wraps an arm around her shoulders and walks towards the student lounge.

"Ooh the serpents do a Christmas dinner at the Wyrm tonight and everyone wants you to come. We also help wrap gifts for kids. Toni, Fangs, and Sweet Pea said if you didn't they would drag you there especially if you didn't bring some dessert," Jughead says making Cami laugh at him.

"Can I bring Vee as my plus one?" Cami asks hopefully as Jughead smiles at her.

"Of course, you can because we both know if you brought a guy Sweetpea along with every serpent would kill him," Jughead says making Cami laugh at him.

"And don't worry Juggie we will figure Penny out. But don't forget Jug law number five: A Serpent never betrays his own. No matter what Penny does don't make the same mistakes," Cami tells him with a serious look on her face.

"I won't," Jughead tells Cami who nods at him as the two walk into the student lounge.

"Finally!" Kevin exclaims as Cami rolls her eyes at him but a smile on her face as she walks towards him.

"Shut it, Keller," Cami says as she leans down and kisses his cheek as Kevin smiles at her. Cami walks by him and goes to sit beside Veronica who smiles at her.

"I got us indicted to a Christmas dinner. I'm in charge of the dessert," Cami tells Veronica who nods laughing Cami looks around the student lounge and sees Cheryl beside Veronica on the couch as Cami blows her a kiss making Cheryl laugh at her. 

"Merry Christmas Cam," Josie says making Cami look to see Josie in the chair beside her.

"Merry Christmas Jo," Cami tells her before looking across to see Betty who was staring at her sister making Cami look away and look towards Reggie sitting on Archie's armchair.

"Veronica, it's your turn," Kevin says with a Santa hat on handing Veronica her gift before sitting beside Cami putting a hat on her hand making Cami laugh at him.

"Hmm," Veronica says as she takes the envelope and opens it.

"Oh," Veronica says making Cami look at her and then at what was in the envelope.

"A gift certificate for a massage for couples," Veronica says making Cami look at Veronica worriedly as she smiles at her Secret Santa.

"Thank you, Josie," Veronica tells Josie with a smile on her face as Josie looks uncomfortable.

"You can go with Cami, or... your mom," Josie says as Cami laughs at her patting her leg.

"Or I can go with your mother if you want," Reggie tells Veronica making Cami scoff at him as she looks at Veronica.

"Definitely me and you Vee. We can make a day out of it!" Cami tells her as Veronica laughs nodding.

"Dude, I'm pretty sure your ex just stole your other ex from you," Reggie tells Archie as Cami scoffs at him.

"You can't steal someone from someone when they were already yours," Cami says wincing at Veronica who laughs at her.

"Oh, my God, can we please get this over with torture?" Cheryl says with a roll of her eyes miserably.

"Sorry Cheryl," Cami tells the redhead with a sheepish smile.

"Cami, you're the next one and fortunately the last one," Kevin says with a bright smile as he hands Cami her gift with a smile on his face.

"Gimme!" Cami says with her hands out as she takes the gift from Kevin wrapped in some type of wrapping paper.

Unwrapping it Cami sees a necklace box and opens it and a gasp falls from her lips.

"What is it?" Veronica questions looking towards the gift.

"It's from me," Jughead says making Cami look behind her to see Jughead.

"And the serpents. I got the idea from my Dad actually after you returned his jacket you needed something to show your one of us," Jughead says making Cami look back down at the golden serpent necklace.

"I love it Juggie. Thank you," Cami tells him as she hands the necklace to Veronica who happily puts it on her.

"FP huh?" Veronica whispers to Cami who glares at her as the raven-haired girl laughs at her.

"Hey. Merry Christmas," Moose says as he enters with Midge making everyone smile at them happily. Especially Reggie who jumps from his seat to hug Moose.

Cami shakes her head at the boy as she leans into Veronica who smiles at her.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

"Are you sure about this?" Veronica asks Cami as the blonde puts her car in park outside the Wyrm. 

"What are talking about?" Cami asks her as she gets out of the car grabbing her warmed bag of desserts before grabbing some of the presents she brought.

"I mean me being here," Veronica tells her as she grabs the wrapping paper and boxes.

"Vee you're my plus one which means you are welcome. If anyone has anything to say to you tell me and I'll punch them in the balls," Cami says shrugging as Veronica laughs at her the two heading towards the entrance.

"So we can come here but not Pop's?" Veronica asks Cami who glares at her.

"This is for children and I will have Toni, Fangs, Jughead, Sweetpea, and you to run interference if I need to," Cami tells her making Veronica laugh at her. Cami sticks her tongue out at her as she walks into the Wyrm.

"Merry Ho-Ho from your favorite person!" Cami announces as she walks inside making an excited yell to be heard.

"Camilla Cooper! My favorite person in the world!" Fangs exclaims as he takes the bag full of dessert cami shakes her head setting the presents on the pool table.

"Cami!" Sweet Pea yells before grabbing the blonde and lifting her up to twirl her around.

"I missed you," Sweet Pea says kissing her head and hugging her tightly to him.

"You missed my desserts," Cami corrects as Sweet Pea shrugs at that.

"True but I did miss you too," Sweet Pea tells her making Cami roll her eyes at him as she is placed back on the floor.

"Merry Christmas," Toni says walking towards Cami who smiles hugging her head.

"Merry Christmas," Cami tells her pulling back about to let go of her as Toni's eyes zero on her necklace.

"Mmh," Toni says making Cami look down at her necklace confused.

"What is it?" Cami questions her as Toni shrugs.
"Nothing. Just the necklace around your neck. Usually, you aren't allowed to wear anything that represents you as a serpent unless you do the dance. But I guess FP waved that roll for you since he picked the necklace out," Toni tells the blonde with a shrug as Cami snaps her head up at her. Toni smirks at her winking before letting her go as Cami stares wide mouth.

"Yeah no way is Cami allowed to that dance," Sweetpea says making Cami look to see Fangs nodding along as the two stuff their face.

"The last thing I ever want to see is you half or at all naked Cam. Not that you were not hot when I first met you I only wanted you underneath me. Now that idea disgusts me. You are like my sister. I would rather rip my own eyeballs out," Sweetpea tells Cami as shakes her head at him.

"Agreed," Fangs says his mouth muffled.

"Idiots," Cami says pointing to the two as she looks at Toni.

"You remember Vee don't you Toni? She's my date this holiday season," Cami says pulling Veronica to her as Veronica smiles.

"Nice to see you again Veronica and you as well Cami. Last time I saw you, you were a little fucked," Toni says turning around as Cami chokes on air and Veronica tries her hardest not to laugh.

"Antoinette Topaz!" Cami exclaims rushing over to her as Veronica laughs.

"I'm not going to say anything, Cam," Toni says making Cami sigh in relief.

"Thank you," Cami tells her making Toni nod.
"Now how about Veronica helps me wrap some gifts while you go get me some more tape from upstairs," Toni says making Cami nod.

"Yeah, sure. In the storage room?" Cami questions making Toni nod as Cami heads up the stairs.

"Why do I have a feeling you're planning something?" Veronica questions Toni who smiles at her.

"I'm not planning anything, but has a certain serpent leader been more than a little grumpy since a certain blonde bombshell snuck out of his bed and maybe saw when she entered and where she went from his office? Perhaps," Toni says making Veronica laugh at her.

"I like you and I can see why Cami does as well," Veronica tells her as Toni smiles at her.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Upstairs in the storage room, Cami reaches above her trying to grab the tape from the top of the shelves when a leather arm reaches above her grabbing it.

"Ooh thank you for-," Cami begins to say as she turns around only to stop when she looks into a pair of familiar brown eyes.

"No problem," FP tells her as Cami gulps slightly staring at him.

"You know most women don't usually sneak out before dawn after spending a night with me," FP says as Cami shakes her head at him.

"Scared you're losing your touch?" Cami questions him as FP laughs at her shaking his head.

"I probably would if I didn't have the scratches on my back from your nails," FP tells her with a smirk as Cami stares at him in disbelief before clearing her throat.

"Well, I hope you savior them because it was just a one-time thing. It'll never happen again," Cami tells him as she takes a step back.

"Never again," FP says nodding his head as he stares into her eyes. Cami nods as her eyes without her permission go down to his lips remembering everywhere they once were making her bite down on her lower lip slightly. FP groans slightly at her before staring into Cami's eyes.

"What are you doing to me, Trouble?" FP questions the blonde as he backs her up until her back hits the wall of the storage room.

"We shouldn't-," Cami begins to say as FP raises his hand and places his hand on her cheek.

"Tell me to stop," FP whispers as Cami stares at him before Cami's hands shoot up and wrap around his neck pulling FP to her and connecting her lips to his.

With a groan, FP grabs the back of Cami's thighs picking her up, and backing her completely into the wall the tape long forgotten.

Cami pushes FP's leather jacket and flannels off making them hit the floor as she clings to his back, digging her nails into his skin.

"Fuck," FP whispers before grabbing Cami's turtleneck and trying to lift it.

"Why are you wearing this?" FP questions as Cami looks at him.

"Well because someone left marks under and down my chest and I look like I got attacked by a bear due to my neck," Cami tells him as FP smirks quickly taking the shirt off of her before bringing his lips to hers once again. While lifting her skirt higher Cami begins unbuttoning his jeans.

"This is the last time," Cami tells FP breathlessly who nods moving his lips to her neck.

"Last time," FP tells her as he rips her panties off making Cami gasps before the tip of his member slides along her lips.

Cami let out a shaky moan and squeezes her eyes shut as FP places his lips back on hers before he thrusted himself between her folds making Cami's nails dig themselves harder into FP's back as she moans into his mouth.

"You alright?" FP questions as he moves his lips down toward her collarbone.

"Move," Cami tells him digging her feet harder into his back begging for him to pick up the pace. FP gets the hint and pumps in and out of Cami, a hand on her butt to keep her steady as Camo begins to moan making FP place a hand over her mouth to stop her from being too loud.

Cami moans as she clutches onto FP almost feeling bad for how hard she was clinging to him because she knew he would definitely have bruises on his back tomorrow.

But for some reason it just made her moan even more, especially when FP's scratchy facial hair, tickles her shoulder as he sucked on the sweet spot right on Cami's neck making her stomach do somersaults and her mouth part with a quiet moan.

"FP," Cami says breathlessly against his hand as her breathing begins to pick up as he picks up the pace. FP's own breaths came out hot and heavy against Cami's skin as his tongue darted across his lips and he tightened his grip on Cami, holding her entire whole body against his. The rough material of his top against her skin made Cami weak.

Cami leans her head forward, trying to suppress her cry as she reaches her climax. FP pumps himself deeper inside her as he rides out Cami's climax, soon reaching his own.

Both of them just stay in place as they try to catch their breath. FP holding Cami between the wall and himself as his own legs were weak trying not to fall down.

Cami stares at him and chuckles slightly making FP look at her.

"What?" FP questions her a smile on his own face.
"I have now lost two pairs of my favorite panties to you," Cami tells him making FP smirk before he leans closer kissing Cami's lips softly as she runs her fingers through his hair at the base of his neck.

"I guess I might need to start a collection," FP teased as he rested his forehead against hers.

"Maybe," Cami says as she pushes him softly making FP slowly pull out of her and carefully lower her to the ground.

Cami pulls her skirt down and tucks her shirt back in as FP fixes his jeans and underwear before grabbing his flannel and jacket.

"That looks good on you," FP says making Cami look to see him staring at her necklace.

"Thank you for picking it out," Cami tells him as FP nods.

"You know I talked to Jughead," Cami says trying to fix her hair.

"About?" FP questions reaching forward to wipe Cami's smeared lipstick.

"Penny. I just have one fear regarding that. Jughead when feeling like backed into a corner will do the unthinkable," Cami tells FP who nods at her.

"I know. That's why I'm keeping him as far away as I can," FP tells Cami pulling her closer to him.

"As well as you. The last thing I need is Penny getting ahold of you. My serpents care a bit too much," FP teases the blonde who laughs at him.

"Your Serpents huh?" Cami questions teasing before kissing his lips softly and then pulling back.

"I got to get back before someone comes looking," Cami says pointing towards the door.

"Until next time," FP tells her as Cami points her finger at him.

"That was the last time," Cami tells him as a smirk appears on FP's face.

"Right. The last time," FP says nodding his head making Cami laugh at him as she walks out of the storage room walking by a mirror to make sure she looks as if she didn't just have a quickie in the storage room before walking towards Toni and Veronica.

"Find the tape?" Toni questions Cami who hums before looking wide-eyed cheering her throat.

"Couldn't find it," Cami tells her as her cheeks turn red and Toni and Veronica laugh at her making Cami throw ice from her drink at them as the three begin to laugh.
