Baby project: a bughead story

After Party

Betty POV
After reminding Jughead of him helping me win Archie over, I go over to a slightly drunk Cheryl.
"Hey Betty cu-zzzz!"
"Oh wow hey Cheryl, Toni how much has she drunk?"
"2cups she's weak with a drink it seems and there wasn't meant to be any alcohol, my guess, Sweet pea or reggie snuck it in."
"Yeah probably, should we get her out of here?"
"Yeah may-,"
"No! I want to part-partying we're meant to have fuuunnnnn! Move out the way cuzzzz i need to danceeeee commmmmeee Tee-tee!"
Great! Drunk Cheryl!
I decide I want to go home because it's getting to overbearing the music and people drinking, so I go to where I find a lonely Jughead, with a red plastic cup in hand.
"Don't tell me your drunk!"
"Nah just had one cup and watered it down a bit, it's my turn tonight right, can't be drunk but it looks like Toni'll have fun tonight between a baby and drunk Cheryl!" We both laughed and looked at Toni, looking not so happy.
"Hey so we've been here for a few hours now do you went to get going?"
"Yeah but we could hang out at my trailer for a bit it's not too late?"
"Yeah that'll be fun and I get to see what Jugheads world is!"
"I'll warn you it's not much but it's home,"

We got all our stuff and took Peter and made our way to the car. From a distance I could here the faint giggles of my once best friend. I stay digging my finger nails into my hand and feel a little bit of blood drip down. I could hear jug gasp, he can see my hands, and he takes my hand in his and gives me a small smile, he's a really good friend. I set Peter in the car seat and get into the front where jug is waiting for me.

Jugheads POV
I start the car and we begin leaving. There's and awkward silence between us and I break it with a slightly risky question, "how long?"
"What?"
"How long have you been doing that to yourself?"
"It's not on purpose Jug, it just happens when I'm stressed,angry and scared."
"And what seeing Veronica with Archie triggered it?" She looked down and I knew my answer, as much as I didn't like it, I reassured her by saying, "remember I'll help you win arch over Betts, and you'll be happy, with no reason to hurt yourself."
I glanced over to her and she looked up aswell, at me. We sat there looking for a while before I looked back forward and continued driving. The awkward silence hit us again but this time we didn't speak till we reach my trailer.

"Welcome to my humble home!"
We both laughed and I took Peter out whilst Betty went inside.
"I- I really like it!"
"You don't have to lie, go say what you think!"
"No I really like it, it's like your own private space, nothing big,"
"Well thanks, I'm still in a bit of debt but working is helping,"
We set out a bed area for Peter and played some music for him to settle down.

Once he was asleep, we sat on the sofa in my living-kitchen- entrance room and watched some tv.

Betty soon fell asleep on my shoulder around midnight so I gently moved and placed a blanket over her. I got up and then she woke up.
"Jug what time is it?"
"Just after midnight,"
"Shoot I need to go, can I borrow the car I'll bring it back in the morning?"
"No just stay it's probably not safe, even if your not driving!"
"I can't jug I don't want to intrude,"
"Stay,please,"
"Ok fine you won, I'll sleep in the sofa,"
"Just take my bed,"
"No jug you've already done enough!"

I didn't argue back and just went to my room where I found a crying Peter. I picked him up and lay him beside me and spoke to him quietly before we both fell asleep.
I felt closer to Betty already because of tonight but that deal I made with her, kept reminding me of who she wants and what she'll do to get him, and I'm stuck in between.
