Mafia (bughead)

Part 11

Betty POV

V-"I'm gonna check out, then we should get going."
B-"sounds good." C-"yeah okay" Veronica walked over to the register and checked out the pile of clothes in her arms. B-"I'm sorry Cheryl" I said looking down. C-"what?" B-"I was just being stupid, and I shouldn't have done it." C-"b I'm confused, what are you talking about?" B-"Toni." C-"wait? You did that?!" She asked shocked. B-"I had to! I wouldn't have if I didn't have a good reason!" C-"I know you wouldn't, I'm just shocked you didn't tell me right away." B-"I should've, I just didn't think about it. I know you care about her, but it went straight over my head."

She wrapped me up in her arms tightly and I shoved my head in the crook of her neck to stop myself from crying. C-"it's okay B, I love you." B-"I love you too." I said with my head still in her neck making her laugh a little at how it sounded. V-"what's happening here?" I heard Veronica say curiously, making me move away from Cheryl's embrace. B-"I told her about Toni." V-"oh, I wasn't sure you were gonna."
C-"wait you knew?" V-"I was there." Veronica said before walking past us and out of the store. Cheryl did a slow nod before we followed V out.

Jughead POV

F-"you're not bringing an outsider into our life!" I heard my dad say from the living room of our house after I had walked into the door. J-"what? Are you talking to me?" I asked walking over to him. I saw him put down the papers he was holding and he took off his glasses. F-"yes. Pops granddaughter." J-"how the hell do you know anything about that?" He glared at me. F-"boi, you do know who your father is, yes?" J-"yeah yeah, whatever. She's only a friend, and she won't know about it." I said walking out of the room again. I heard his loud sigh before quickly moving to my room so I wouldn't have to deal with him for a little longer.

I heard a knock on my door about two hours later and I groaned before going and opening it. F-"you need to come out here." J-"why?" F-"business. Come on." J-"fine." I followed him out and we went to his office. He sat down in his big chair behind the desk facing me. F-"on Friday there is a mafia ball, and I need you to attend." J-"well if you're going why would I have to be there?" F-"well I can't go." J-"why not?" F-"drop the attitude Jughead. You're going with Elizabeth." J-"hell no!" F-"Jughead" J-"why the fuck would I do that?!" F-"you don't have a choice. I'll give you more details about it later. Now go fix your attitude."

J-"fuck off." I scoffed on my way out of his office. I knew he would be even more mad at me, but I don't care anymore. Why do I have to do this for him, and why does it have to be with Betty. I'll have to figure out why we have to go together or else I'll go crazy. I started to walk back towards my fathers office, but when I got to the door I heard him on the phone.
F-"everything will go fine. I didn't give him a choice. Yes Hermione, this is a good decision."
