Baby project: a bughead story

Halloween party pt2

Betty POV
V rushes us outside so I decided to take him to my dorm room so we can talk.
I can't believe he is back! Was that why V was so weird earlier about me going into the room and the couples costume.
Wait! Couples! I'm dating Will. I don't think she told him. This'll be fun, ugh

We get to my room and we sit on my bed.
"Look Betty I'll start by saying, I'm sorry I was really a really crappy friend to you! Around the time I was sending short messages, my mum was getting worse and I sort of shut myself out to the world. When you called an hour later my mum died and I didn't call you back or anything because of that pain I was feeling. I was however talking to Veronica-." He was talking to v but not me this entire time. I kinda get it though, they have a connection. "-and she was telling me about you everyday. I wanted to be with you and talk to you but when I last spoke to you it kinda brought back my pain. But I'm back now and want to make things right."
I sit there upset for him, the pain he's felt, and all I've done is gone and got myself a boyfriend.
"Jug, I don't want an apology from you!"I take his hands in mine
(At this point Cheryl and Veronica are listening)
"I should have given you the space you need and not be clingy. I'm sorry for that and the pain you've been feeling."
He looks into my eyes then his eyes move to my lips.
"Betty....." he whispers
He moves closer and as we are about to touch I say, "jug, I can't do this."
He moves back and removes his hands from mine, I can see the pain I've just added in his eyes.
He then says, "yeah, sorry, I'm going to go, get set up in my room. Nice seeing you I guess."
My heart shatters, I may have just done a huge mistake, and I can't go back.

Jughead POV
I walk out her room with tears forming in my eyes. I walk out and see a sad Veronica and Cheryl standing there, they heard everything. I don't want to talk to anyone right now. I push past them and hear Veronica shout, "jug, jug, come back! Let's talk please!" I ignore them and go to front desk to deal with the dorm and get my keys and timetable.

I go to room 13 where I open the door to an empty room, V said Archie wasn't here.
I set up my bag I had taken with me from the girls room and set up my stuff.

Once I'm done i lay down on my bed, tears forming in my eyes. This is my fault, I pushed her away when I needed her most and now she won't even be with me.

I start to hear loud banging on the door. I ignore it, probably Veronica.
I then hear a smash  and see my door has been broken open.
"Really guys just leave!" I say not looking at who came in.
"No, jug."
I turn over to see Kevin, I wish it was Betty though
"Hey Kev!"
"Look jug Cheryl and V told me what happened, don't beat yourself up you don't know the full story."
"What that I pushed her away! I caused this! It's my fault she did what to do what I wanted!"
I felt bad for shouting at Kev he was just trying to help.
"Jug imma say this hopefully once, shut up and listen, now Veronica and the others don't know I'm telling you this but you have a right to know. I don't want you blaming yourself for Betty not wanting  whatever you two had. She has a boyfriend!" Boyfriend! Boyfriend? Betty has a boyfriend? And v didn't tell me?
"Are you serious?! She has a BOYFRIEND!"
"Yeah, his names Will Newman, he's actually a nice guy and he asked Betty to be his girlfriend today."
Will Newman. Will Newman. Imma kill him.
"She just moved on! How long ago?"
"A week ago. We tried to convince her not to but she wasn't having it and lashed out on us."
"What do I do Kevin, she seemed happy when I saw her before, does he make her happy?" I say calming down a bit
"I don't know, she kept saying how sweet he was and how he was normal. She looks happy and unhappy."
I think for a bit before telling Kev, "then I'll leave her alone. If she wants normal and happiness I guess I can't give her that. Thank you Kev for telling me, I feel so stupid for not thinking that she moved on."
"It's fine and besides I'm a bughead fan aswell as everyone else.
Betty Newman doesn't work, Betty Jones however works. I don't care what you do or say you and Betty will be endgame and  you'll get your chance."
I smile at Kev, he's literally like a therapist, he opened me up a bit much like v did. V spoke to me and Kev made me feel almost better.
Kev leaves to go and find fangs and I look at my phone.
32 unread messages
Damn
16 from Veronica
8 firm Toni
4 from fangs
4 from Cheryl
None from Betty, she really has moved on.
I then hear a knock on the door, I decide to answer it this time, so my door doesn't fully break down.
Betty POV
I felt horrible saying that to jug but I needed a break from the drama that comes with him, Will has that, no drama.
I hear V outside calling jugs name, I don't hear an answer.
She storms in the room and shouts, "what the hell was that?"
I don't answer her.
" cousin I swear on the ghost of Thornhill if you don't answer me he'll haunt you!" Great Cheryl's here.
"Just leave guys, today's not been easy."
"Easy! Easy! I'm sure Jughead told you about his mum, and the depression he has and the fact he blames himself for EVERYTHING!" Veronica shouts.
Depression? I know he was sad, but he has depression?
"Look I'm with Will and I'm happy with him happy Cheryl and Veronica, now leave!"
"This is my room aswell B!"
"Then stay but don't lecture me about jug and his issues!"
I immediately regretted that and as I left the bathroom, I hear the door slam.

Veronica POV
I cannot believe Betty right now. I can't even look at her, she's supposed to be understanding about this. And she calls jugs life one big issue that she doesn't care about.
I part ways with Cheryl and sneak back into my room to grab a pre-prepared overnight bag I had. Betty's asleep, at least I think she is.
I walk out my room and wonder whether I crash at Cheryl and Toni's or Jugheads
I decide that I'll be a third wheel and head to Jug and Archie's room.
I knock and jug opens the door.
