*At Betty's House* Archie's POV
We got home from FP's trailer and Jughead was crying a lot, Betty was there to comfort him but I needed answers so I went up to Jug and Betty
"Jug.. Can I talk to you... alone..." I asked
"Uh.. Sure? Betts we'll be back" Jughead told her
"Okay Jug, Arch"  Betty said
*We step into another room*
"What's up Arch?" Jughead asked
"Jug.. I can't stop thinking about when we were in the hospital and you said you didn't know who stabbed you or why but I could tell Jug.. you were lying so Jughead who stabbed you?" I confronted him
"Archie! Seriously I wasn't lying I don't know who stabbed me and don't think it was me because why would I stabbed myself" Jughead told me
"Jughead stop lying, Im your best friend and Betty's your girlfriend why are you lying" I asked
"Fine Arch.. I lied. I stabbed myself because  I didn't figure out my mom and sister died in the hospital, I figured out my mom and sister died... before I stabbed myself.." Jughead said nervously
"Jug, you didn't have to lie and say it was fine you could have told me or Betty" I said
"Arch wanna know a funny thing is you lied too! You said you haven't seen my father in 6 years with me but actually you've been seeing him more then you say!" Jughead shouted
*Jughead went back to Betty*
"JUGHEAD!  WE BOTH LIED DOES IT REALLY MATTER" I screamed
"ARCH! I DIDN'T LIE ABOUT A BIG THING, YOU LIED ABOUT NOT SEEING MY FATHER IN 6 YEARS!" Jughead yelled
"JUGHEAD YOU'RE THE ONE LYING ABOUT STABBING YOURSELF" I blurted out
"Arch..." Jughead said *looked at Betty with a side eye*
"Wait.. What.." Betty said
"Betty..I..." Jughead said stuttering
"Jug Im Sorry" I said
"Seriously Arch. Great friend you are" Jughead said while running out of Betty's house
"JUG!" Betty screamed
*Betty runs out, same as me*
"What Betts?" Jug said almost breaking down
"Jug.. Im not mad I just want to know why would you stab yourself.." Betty asked Jughead
"I stabbed myself because  I didn't figure out my mom and sister died in the hospital, I figured my mom and sister died... before I stabbed myself.." Jug said really nervously
"Jug.. You didn't have to lie we would have understand.." Betty said *Shows Jughead her palms*
"Betty.. what happened.." Jughead asked
"When I was in SeaSide... I started digging my nails in my palm because mostly I would get hurt and I would do it.." Betty said
"From Chic and your dad..?" Jug asked
"Mostly.." Betty started to cry
*Jug goes to hug Betty* *Betty crys in his chest*
"Guys.. Maybe we should stop lying and make a vow to Always tell the truth to each other" I said
"Okay, Betts?" Jug said
"Yea, Okay." Betty said while wiping her tears
