Jughead's Point Of  View:

We sat there on that bench cuddling for forever, I would've stayed longer until Betty got a call. It was from her mom, she looked at me and I looked at her, knowing exactly what the call was going to be about. Betty cries, "h-hey mom" I can't hear the conversation but I do hear Betty say "Ok, I'm with Jughead from school. He knows, can he please come too?" Next thing I know Betty hung up and asks me to come over to her house with her. I agree and we walk back to her house. On the way there I get the courage to hold her hand, at first I think she is going to pull away but instead she hold my hand back. "I-I'm happy, about you-you know, th-the kiss." She says to me. I can't help but blush. "I-I hope it m-meant som-somet-thing to you, as it did to- to me." She says and starts crying. "Oh my god, Betty. It meant the world to me! When I saw you on the first day I knew that I liked you." I say stopping and looking at her. "It-it's just, we, we met too late." She cries, "what no-no Betty, just because your sick and have a time limit unlike the rest of us, it doesn't mean I will leave you. This is going to be the best 4 months of your life, I promise." I say. She kisses me again, cuffing my face and then slowly playing with my hair. We pull away and continue walking, "so when you get in there, my mom is going to load you up with questions. I don't know if you know but, she likes to know I am safe and no one will hurt me. So, fair warning." Betty softly chuckles. "Got it." I say with a smile.

 We get to Betty's house and walk inside. We see her mom looking like she has been crying for weeks, Betty unhooks her hands from mine and runs over to her mom and hugs her. Now they are both crying. I stand there awkwardly trying not to ruin the moment by saying anything. I let them hug for a while and then when they finally pull apart Betty looks at me and then her mom saying "Mom, this- this is Jughead Jones." "Hi, nice to meet you Ms. Cooper" I say with a slight smile. "Hi, Jug-head." She says back to me. "So where did you meet my daughter?" She asks me. I look at Betty and think, this is where the questions start. I laugh at the thought. "I transferred to Riverdale High about a month ago." I confirm. "Betty was my tour guide." I say looking at her. "Very nice, so what school did you use to go to?" Ms. Cooper asks. "Umm, Southside High." I tell her. "Oh, I see.." she says. The questions go on for a while until Betty stops her. "Mom, I think thats enough questions for one day." "Oh yes I'm sorry Betty." She says. I can tell Ms. Cooper is trying to be strong for Betty but I can see her weakness, her sadness, her emotions. Clear as a crystal. 

Alice's Point Of  View:

When I got the email I read it and called Betty as soon as I calmed myself down. I just don't know what I would do without Betty. I'm divorced because Hal was having an affair, Polly had twins and moved away. Betty was and is the only thing in my life that hasn't left me. But, now she has no choice but to leave, and I know that it will happen too. It's like a birthday, you know it's your birthday so you get excited, it's just the opposite. You know she is dying so you prepare for it, and think about it all the time, knowing everyday is one less without her. I would be so lost without Betty. I have no one, not anymore. 

Betty's Point Of  View:

I tell my mom and Jughead I will be right back, I was just going to go change into something comfier. I put on a pair of my sweatpants and Jughead's 'S' shirt from when he lent me it after spilling a milkshake from pops on me. I take my ponytail out and brush my hair. I wipe my makeup off and head back downstairs. As soon as I make it around the corner so they can see me, Jughead's face lights up. He sees me in his shirt and blushes. I don't think my mom noticed it's his though. I go sit on the couch beside Jughead and we all talk for a while. After a couple hours I ask Jughead if he wants to stay for dinner and of course he says yes. My mom makes 'Chicken Parmesan' and salad. After dinner I help my mom put away the dishes well Jughead's using the bathroom. "Hey mom, is it ok if Jughead stays the night?" I ask her hoping for a yes. "Sure sweetie, just please no sex." My mom says. I get embarrassed. "Mom, what are you talking about? Jughead and I are just.. friends." I tell her. "Sure you are, friends that just met a month ago and you are already wearing his shirt, telling him about your sickness though you haven't told your friends like Veronica who you've known since Grade 1, and even sneaking him in the house and out the window at night." She says and gives me a side eye. "MOM, how-how did you know all of that?" I ask her and laugh. "Well, I know you haven't told any of your friends, I also know that isn't your shirt and Jughead is wearing the same one but in black and I heard him sneaking out of the house as well as jumping off the ladder. You do know I'm not stupid right?" She looks at me. "Yes, mom I know you're not stupid. You're not mad though right?" I ask her. "No, of course not. I think it's cute." She tells me. "Ok, good, and no mom we won't have sex. I'm not ready yet. We just had our first kiss earlier anyway." I chuckle. She laughs back. 

Jughead comes out of the bathroom and I ask him if he wants to stay over, he says sure and laughs. "Ok, mom Jughead's going to stay the night, we are going to go watch a movie. See you in the morning?" "Yeah, sure." My mom replies. Jughead and I go to my room and he says. "I don't really feel like wearing jeans to bed." I laugh, "Oh yeah. I'll be right back. I go to my dads old room that my mom still hasn't cleaned up and bring him a pair of sweatpants. "They were my dads, I hope it's not weird." I say handing him the pants. "No, thank you." He says back. He goes to the bathroom and puts them on, coming back wearing them. We get under the covers and put on 'Insidious' every time I got scared I would hide in his warm chest. "You look good, better then I do. In that shirt." Jughead says looking up at me and smiling. "Why thank you." "So are we going to have sex and annoy your mom?" Jughead says laughing sarcastically. "Omg, you heard that?!" I sit up embarrassed. "Every bit of it, you have thin walls." He laughs. "Oh my god" I say laughing and then kissing him on the lips. It was a kiss of lust, nothing more, nothing less. I fell asleep shortly after the movie, cuddled right up in his arms. I felt like I was never sick.
