Bughead Oneshots

※Forget Me Not Pt. 1※

GENERAL POV

Betty, Jughead and Archie used to be the best of friends growing up and did everything together. However, growing up they became apart and no longer hung out. Archie became a jock and a player with a new girl every week, hanging out with the the football team who were douchebags. Jughead joined the Serpent , became the Serpent King and a popular guy. Betty however didn't have any friends and became the emotional school loner. Veronica and her group bitches bully her everyday by calling her 'fat', 'ugly' and 'unlovable'. Her parents were also emotionally abusive to her, especially her mother who put her on a diet. Betty became quite broken and Jughead was the only one who felt very guilty for leaving because he had and maybe still has a huge crush on her.  

Cheryl and Kevin are Serpents beforehand and Veronica is mean to Betty.

JUGHEAD'S POV

I sighed as I sat down on the lunch table along with the other Serpents, but especially Toni, Sweet Pea, Fangs, Cheryl and Kevin.

"Everything okay boss?" asked Sweet Pea.

"It's fine Pea," I replied, "just stuff with the Ghoulies."

The rest of the Serpents just nodded sympathetically. My eyes wandered till they fell upon a blonde-haired beauty and I felt the pit of guilt rising in my stomach. We used to be the best of friends, but I left her. Now, she was all alone and sat on the lunch table without anyone, reading a book and eating her lunch. I wanted to talk to her for so long, but I figured she'd not want to talk to me. Then, Veronica and her bitches passed by her table giggling and talking about something. Betty looked up at them and then looked down. I noticed that her eyes began to fill up with tears. I frowned and sighed at that, I wanted to hug her tight and kiss away her tears, but I couldn't because of my dumb, younger self.

"Why do keep staring at her it's weird man, just talk to her," Toni asked.

I glared at her and then replied sadly, "She used to be my best friend along with Archie when we were younger, but all three of us grew apart. Archie became the player and I became, well popular. We, or rather I, left her all alone and I feel terrible. She looks so broken and fragile and I wish my jerk self could have done something, but it's too late."

"You suck man," said Fangs.

"Gee thanks Fogarty, tell me something that I don't know," I sarcastically replied.

"At least try talking to her," Kevin suggests.

"I would, but she probably hates me," I replied.

"Just try Jones, it will probably get better over time if you talk," Cheryl persuaded and I looked Betty.

Seeing the sad look on her face broke me so I decide to talk to her finally.

BETTY'S POV

I sat at my lunch table, alone again, because I have no friends and I'm lonely. Jughead and Archie used to be my best friends, but they left me for popularity. I understand that because no one wants to stay by my side. Even my own parents hate me and emotionally abuse me everyday. I pull out my book and eat simultaneously. I look up and see Jughead staring at me again, why would he? He left me, it was kind of weird now. I have a crush on him, sort of, but I'm not his type obviously, I turn back to my book and out of the corner of my eye I saw Veronica and her posse walking in front of my table. They did the usual, calling me fat and ugly and that no one would want me. 

I always felt insecure about my body and my parents don't make it any easier. My mother puts me on a strict diet and it sucks. I wish I could do what I want. I didn't even realise that a tear slipped down my cheek until much later. I wiped it away. I saw Jughead staring at me again and then he stood up, and came towards me...

JUGHEAD'S POV

I walked towards her table and sat down.

"Hey Betts, you okay?" I asked her softly.

She looked up at me with a pointed look and swallowed the bite she was chewing.

"What do you want?" she replied sharply.

Taken aback by her tone I tried talking calmly, "You were crying a moment ago Betts. I just want to know if you're okay."

A multitude of emotions passed through her eyes, but I registered hurt and anger as the main ones.

"First of all, don't call me that. Only call me Betty, you lost the right to call me Betts years ago. Second of all, how I am is no longer any of your business. I think that was very clear when you left me years ago. Third of all, I don't want to talk to you at all so get lost or else I'll break every bone in your body," she spoke with fire in her voice and my eyes widened listening to her. I truly broke her.

"I'm sorry Betty," I mumbled softly before getting up.

"Sorry isn't good enough," she whispered with obvious sadness in her eyes and I walked back to my table.

"How did it go with the blondie?" Sweet Pea asked me.

"Terrible, she hates my guts," I replied sadly as I felt my eyes getting watery.

"Hey, this isn't the end, just keep trying to talk to her and eventually you will get her back," Kevin reassured me.

"I hope so, I'm not going to leave her again," I swore.

BETTY'S POV

How dare he come and talk to me like everything is normal. The nerve! I'm done with people walking all over me.

TIME SKIP AFTER SCHOOL

I had just gotten out of school and was on my way back when I saw Jughead leaning against his motorcycle smoking a cigarette. I was pissed at that moment and decided to give him piece of my mind no matter how hot his bad-boy vibe looked.

"Glad to see you picked up new habits after joining a gang" I angrily said.

"Betty," he spoke in a dangerously low voice.

"What?" I asked harshly.

"Don't do that," he complained.

"Or what? You'll leave me?" I asked sarcastically with an emotionless laugh.

"I told you that I was a young and dumb kid and that I'm sorry," he reasoned.

"Yeah?" I replied, "I thought you were a smart one, but seems like you used that on being a gang leader."

I turned on my heel and walked away without seeing his expression.

JUGHEAD'S POV

Hearing her say that and seeing the look in his eyes made me vow that I'll do whatever it takes to get her back.

Will probably publish the next part soon.
