I woke up feeling so much better. I remember what had happened, and feel weird saying I'm happy it did.  I looked around my bedroom, he's not here anymore.

I sat up still trying to fully wake up. Once I had enough energy to stand up, or at least attempt I did.  This time I  could actually stand without my legs giving out. I went to the bathroom and cleaned myself up before heading out to the kitchen not noticing how hungry I was.

"Betty, I have your lunch, well of course only if you're hungry" I heard the cook say.

I went over to the counter, "thank you so much" I said as I grabbed the plate. "Of course honey" he said

Jughead than came into view glaring at the chef. He is so possessive.

"Elizabeth! It's lovely to see you in a better state. Are you alright?" He asked coming and sitting next to me.

"I'm feeling much better" I said a little quietly. He smiled and nodded.

"I have dinner reservations tonight, for us. And a few of my friends. There should be good clothes in your closet for this... event, but if you'd like I can have a stylist come over to pick you a nice outfit" he explained.

I smiled lightly, "that won't be necessary, I'll find something" he nodded. "what time is it? Like the 'event'" I asked.

"8:45, which means you have about 7 hours" he smiled. I nodded. He just sat there and watched me eat for about five minutes. "Aren't you going to get food too?" I asked breaking the silence.

"I already ate darling" he explained. "Which reminds me, I have...... stuff to do before tonight" he said before giving me a light peck on the cheek and leaving.

I will admit I got major butterflies. Like always, but I just ignored them and kept eating. Once I was finished eating I went back to my room to find a cute outfit.

It took me a little bit but I finally found what I thought was a decent outfit. I picked out a black tennis skirt, with a sage green blouse.

I got ready, curled my hair, and put on some makeup, before we had to go.

"you look amazing darling" jughead greeted me as I walked out of my bedroom. I couldn't help but blush, not that he could see it though considering I had makeup on but still.

"thanks" I mumbled. His big hand grabbed mine and he led me out to the car, this time his car. He had a black Lamborghini and a black Tesla.

He led me to the lambo, and opened the door for me. "thanks" I said as I got in. "of course" he said before walking over to his side and getting in.

Once he started driving, he put on some music and put his hand on my knee. He's done this before but I still have the same reaction every time.

He kept it there the whole ride. Once we got there, there was paparazzi everywhere, as always when I have been 'out' with him. I mean what could he possibly be this famous for? I know his business, but... I'm just confused.

I kept my head down as they took pictures, I don't want my friends to come looking for me. I don't want to face them.

Once we got inside and seated Jughead introduced me to all his friends. Also known as the 'friends' that kidnapped me. And one of the couples we met the other night.

"Betty sweetheart, this is Toni, Fangs, Sweetpea, Charles, and Arabella" he said as they all waved. I smiled lightly and nodded. "It's nice to meet you guys" I said as I sat down.

"Hello, I will be your waiter today. Can I get you guys anything to drink?" A man said coming up to our table.

"A corona please" sweet pea asked, Toni and fangs soon asking for the same. He looked at Charles and  Arabella for their orders, "We will both get a martini" Charles smiled, he then looked at me and Jughead, well me.

"And for you guys?" He asked still looking at me. Jugheads hand gripped my thigh, not my knee, my thigh.

"I will get a Shirley temple please" I said, considering I'm still only 17. He smiled and nodded, "I will take a margarita" jughead said.

He nodded before leaving, jugheads hand still grilling my thigh like his life depended on it.

"here's the menu's" Toni said grabbing them from the middle of the table and passing them out, jug grabbed two and set on one in front of me.

I opened it and started looking at the pastas. Everything else looked and felt like too much. I found a lemon pasta that sound really good.

"have you found something yet darling?" Jughead asked me, his hand still gripping my thigh just as hard.

I nodded and pointed to the pasta. He nodded

"Alright I have your drinks" we heard the waiter say from the side of the table, before jug could respond.

"The beers" he said setting two bottles in front of them, then set the drinks in front of everyone else before he did mine last, "and for you young lady" he smiled setting it in front of me. "thank you"

Jugs hand on my thigh became more intense, as he felt intimidated by the waiter.

"are you guys ready to order?" He asked, we all nodded.

Everyone ordered, and he left. We could all tell he was into me, but no one dared to mention it.

All of us had a conversation, just talking about our lives and how they all met, before our food came.

mine was really good! Like delicious! "How is it sweetheart?" Jughead asked me as he cut up his chicken. His hand finally off my thigh.

"really great!" I said happily. I could see him smile, "good" he said as I continued eating.

The rest of the dinner was great, me and jug had some small conversations, but I was mostly talking to Toni and Fangs.

Jughead Jones
I shut the door for her and walked around to my side of the car. Once I started driving I could tell she was about to fall asleep, considering I could hear her breathing get heavier, and she didn't say anything.

Once we arrived back at the house about 45 minutes later, she was sound asleep. I went to her side and carried her into my room, carefully laying her on my bed. Why my room?

Well I still have some work to do and I want to make sure she's okay. I mean she has had a really bad day, but just in general. I went to my closet and grabbed some clothes for her, then changed her into them.

I laid a few more pillows under her head, and my comforter on top of her. After doing that, I went to my closet, changed into something more comfortable for myself, then came back out and sat at my desk, which was of course facing the bed.

I sighed and sat down pulling out my lap top and opening it to a file of which I was working on for our new project at work.

It's already 11:30 and I have to have this done by 3 am. So I spent the next few hours working on it. I finished right at 2:45, and clicked save before shutting my lap top and getting into bed.

Betty will probably be frustrated with me for doing this, but I can't help myself. I pulled her tiny body into my chest. And snuggled her as I drifted off to sleep.
