Baby project: a bughead story

Stuck and stories

Jughead POV
Me and Betty were stuck in Choni's room.
Abby and Archie were back, this isn't good and they come back the night me and Betty get together, typical.
Me and Betty were alone in the room worried about the world outside this room.

"I hope things are okay out there Jug, V and all the others are literally fighting our battles, they shouldn't be though Jug!" Betty yells
"I know they are Betts, I'd kinda do anything to get out of here but we are stuck, in a positive thought we are stuck together though, why don't you tell me everything."
"Everything?"
"Your family issues, college before me, but only If you want to?"
"Okay, I will, it'll past the time."
I lay down on the floor and look at Betty, looking ready to listen.
"A couple years back, when Cheryl's brother died, that kinda began what came after. My family fell apart because of Jason. My sister got pregnant with his babies, then ran away to a cult the farm and when she last visited she kinda tried to brainwash my mum. My mum was smart enough not to fall for it but my dad loved all that weird stuff, he started leaving late at night, we thought to the farm but that was a cover. Polly came to me and said my dad hadn't come to any of the meetings. One night I followed him, he went to the Blossom's house and was having an affair. I confronted him about it and I told my mum, she kicked him out and started having some depression. She's been like that for a while before your dad, so he saved her. Anyway my dad left and soon after people where going missing and then turning up dead. I started getting letters and threats about my mum and me so I dropped out of school for a while to watch out for her. He never came and the killings stopped. I thought the killer gave up and when I finally went back to school, my mum called to say dad came home, so I ran home and snuck in he didn't hear me and he was talking to my mum with a knife in his hand. I grabbed the fireplace shovel and hit him from behind called the cops and that was it. He was arrested and still in jail."
"Damn Betts didn't know what all that has happened in your life. I'm so sorry,"
"Don't be, it's my dads fault, hell even my sister a bit, I love her an all but she's crazy and hates me,"
"I actually don't know what to say!"
"Nothing, there's not much anyway. So if you want to could you tell me what happened since you left."
"Yeah okay, you said your story I'll say mine. My dad lost his job a couple years back. He became drunk and angry. My mum left and took my sister JellyBean with her. I moved out and was homeless for a while. Then my dad started getting sober and working, i moved back in and he gave us a better life. After a while my dad was then dating your mum, move in, divorce my mum then found out she was sick. My dad and your mum stayed together but he left with me to look after her. In that time I was with my sister and mum and also texting you. As my mum got worse it was hard for JellyBean so I spent even more time with her cutting into my time with you. And when you called I was getting angry at myself at the time for not being there for you or my sister and mum so I was harsh. Throughout that time I was texting V because I felt I could talk to her and it was hard to talk to you because we weren't together or anything there isn't really an excuse for blocking you off and talking to V I just felt she could help me. My mum died and I never thought I would come back to school so I automatically cut ties. My dad told me I was coming back and he was taking JellyBean with him back to your mum and so I came here."
"I can understand talking to V and even Kev, they can listen and help sometimes, I like how you have a good relationship with all of our friends jug, I'm sorry I was just in the way. I should have let you be."
"No Betty you was what kept me kinda sane, I've lashed out at times."
"Me too."
We sit there in silence. I look at Betty and take her hand. I smile at her and put my hand over over her shoulder and she lays her head on my shoulder and we lay there falling asleep.
