Betty woke up gasping for air and sweating all down her body, she looked over at Archie who was turned away from her and snoring obnoxiously "Archie" she whispers shaking his side groans and rubs his eyes "What Betty" he snaps "I had nightmare" she says panicking a little.
After they came back to Riverdale Betty had been dealing with past traumas from her time in the FBI.

"Why should I care" he sighs trying to go back to sleep "Archie, as my boyfriend your usually supposed to help me with PTSD and stuff like that. Cause I need someone by my side to make me feel safe" she's getting pretty fed up with his shit at this point. He doesn't care and all he does is talk about himself.

"Betty, I was attacked by a bear. I know trauma" he says sounding like it's some big deal "Whatever" she sighs "it's not like I was kidnapped and tortured for 3 weeks, only 6 months ago. But I'm not comparing traumas" she mutters and goes back under the covers facing away from him.

Betty sits in Pops talking with Cheryl, at least her and Toni managed to stay together "How's you and Archie" she asks tilting her head slightly "We're..." she hesitates, she's not sure if she wants to be honest or just lie to make things easier "You're going horrible because he's dismissive, non caring and narcissistic?" She quips "Yes" Betty responds quickly.

"He's different to Jughead, I felt like with Jughead I could tell him anything. But with Archie it's like I can't get one word out about what I've been going through all I get is" Betty pauses "I get I was attacked by a bear" she says mocking his voice "or the occasional 'you don't need therapy, just deal with it. Your over dramatic'" she says and Cheryl cringes "How Veronica could deal with it, I'll never understand." Betty says taking a sip of her milkshake "Veronica didn't take shit, she put him in her place" Cheryl says snickering slightly "Yeah, but she shouldn't have to. He should just respect me, even just a little" Betty sighs.

The pops bell rings and familiar red headed boy walks in "Hey Betty, where were you this morning?" He asks bluntly "I went home, cause I was meeting Cheryl" Betty says looking up at him and Cheryl rolls her eyes "Never leave without telling me. K?" He says angrily "No Andrews it's not. K?" Cheryl stands up "Treat like the amazing women she is"  She snaps "sit down Cheryl" Archie spits "Actually no, and I'm going away with Jughead for the weekend. Trying to find my sister because she's missing. But you wouldn't know that because you don't care" She picks up her bag and walks out, Archie grabs her arm "You going away with deadend Jughead?" He yells "Let go of me" she scoffs pulling her self away from him and leaves to the Southside where Jughead was staying.

Betty knocks on Jugheads door teary eyed "Betty" he says worriedly seeing her eyes welling up "Let's go now" She rushes trying to get as far away from Archie as possible.

"What happened?" Jughead asks driving them out of town and into a small town tracking a lead they think could lead them to Polly "Me and Archie aren't great. Well I'm kind of done with him." Betty sighs looking out the window of his old truck "He's controlling and narcissistic, basically the opposite of what I like" she says "I'm sorry" she. Says turning to face him and grabs his hand on the joystick "Why?" He asks softly glancing at her "Because you don't want to here me blab on about Archie, it's not right" She laughs a bit.

"Betts, if your unhappy talk all you want. I only care if your happy" He says "So blab on Juliet" He says "See that's what I want, I want that. Caring." Betty says.

Her breath hitches in her throat when she realised she basically just admitted to wanting him back "If it makes you feel better, I dumped my girlfriend" He says "I'm sorry" she says.

"Nah it was for the best" he shrugs.

"And we. Are. Here" he says pulling into the small and ratting motel.

"I'll sleep in the floor" Jughead says as they stare at the single bed in the middle of the room "No, it's fine" Betty says looking whisfully at him "We can share, we're adults" Betty says putting her bag down.

Yet again Betty wakes up sweating and crying, practically screaming. Jughead soon jolts up and quickly wraps her in his arms "You're ok, you're with me" he whispers repeatedly while she sobs in his arms.

He didn't even hesitate to help her, it was a natural response at this point. He rocks her back and forth pulling her into his chest while she cry's. After a few minutes she calls down and pulls away from him "You ok?" He asks putting his hand on her knee.

"Yeah, just stuff" Betty sighs rubbing her eyes "you wanna talk about it" he asks sweetly "I don't how to, Ive never actually had to" she says looking down in her lap "You've never woken up like that?" He asks her lifting her chin up with his finger "Pretty much every night, but Archie just tells me to go back to sleep, that's only when i stay with him" Betty says "On my own, I just cry" she says softly "That's horrible" he says.

"Does he know what happened?" Jughead asks her while she playing with her fingers "Every time I try to tell him he just says 'Trust me I get, I was attacked by a freaking bear'" Betty laughs wiping away a tear from her face.

"Dear god, he was barley scratched. The scar was about a finger long" Jughead laughs "The scars on my shoulders are bigger" Jughead laughs.

"Anyways, I'm happy to listen to what happened" He says.

"Ok" Betty sighs "I was out with my partner, and we were following some guy. Basically I got grabbed from behind, my partner didn't notice me gone and I woke up in this" Betty stutters "in this um, basement thing. I was tied up and bleeding" Tears begin to fall down her face "I was beaten, waterboarded, cut up all on my stomach and they locked me in a dark room, I had not clue of time or anything like that" Betty cries more and Jughead pulls her close hugging her tightly while wiping away her tears "I wasn't found for 3 weeks" She sobs.

"I'm so sorry" Jughead kisses her forehead "No one should go through that alone, especially you. You've been through so much" He whispers.

Betty lifts her head up and kisses him softly, they both pull back and look into each others eyes.

"sorry" Betty says softly before he kisses her again "No, don't be" Jughead replies before kissing her a third time
