The Strong Broken Girl

Chapter 8

Want to talk

[Next day afternoon]

~Betty's POV~

I was sitting in the blue and gold working on my article and waiting for jughead . Something is weird with that guy. Why suddenly he wants to join blue and gold ? Something was up with him . I know that he saw me bleeding yesterday on the roof, and I know he probably knows that I was bleeding because of my father . And I was scared that he wants to talk about it .

After few minutes I heard his voice , J-"Betty!!" B-'' yeah, sorry I was zoned out." I think he walked in when I was thinking. J-" yes I figured out that , what were you thinking ?" He said while sitting on the chair near the table B-'' None of your business , so where is your work ." He handed me his work and I started reading it . I thought he was joking when he said he can write but he can actually write . His article was amazing . B-" Wow jughead, your are a really good writer , I thought you were joking when you said you want to join ." I said looking amazed by his article . J-" Thanks , so that means I can join right ?" B-" yes you can join. Tomorrow here after school . " J-" ok , I'll be there . " I went back to work , I noticed that he was still sitting there looking at me. B-" what ??" I said looking at him . J-" nothing." B-" so why are you sitting here , leave." J-" Actually I want to ask you something ." B-" what?" J-" Would .. would you like to.....go to pops with m..me.?" B-" why?" I asked curiously J-" I just want to talk to you ." B-" but what do you want to talk to me ?" J-" I'll tell you when you come to pops with me ." I was till suspicious . I gave him a look . J-" it's not a date , I just want to talk." I took few seconds and said B-" ok today at 7 pm pops . Don't be late . " J-" ok , thanks ." He smiled and made his way out . I started thinking what and why he wanted to talk to me .

[ At Pops ]

[Still Betty's POV]

I was waiting for jughead sitting in booth wearing this

After few minutes he showed up wearing this

[ With his Serpent Jacket ]

J-"Hey". B-"hey'' . He sat in front of me . B-" So what do you want to talk about ?" I asked curiously . J-" fir..first we should order something , I'm starving." B-"ok ". We ordered our usual . Mine was a burger with some fries and a vanilla milkshake . He ordered two burgers with extra fries and a chocolate milkshake . I was suprised by his order and was looking at him . He noticed that I was staring and said J-" What, I have a large apatite ." I shake my head and said . B-" so what do you want to talk about ." I said while eating my fries .

~Jughead's POV~

I was actually nervous to talk to her about her father so started distracting her . J-" so how is ...how is veronica ?'' I asked distracting her . She gave a look with her one eyebrow up . B-" look jughead I know this is not the thing what do you want to talk about , so stop distracting him and get straight to the point." She said little agressively . J-" ye... yeah actually that...that is not what I wa..want to talk about." First time in my life I was nervous while talking to a girl . B-" so come on get on the point what do you want to talk about." We were sitting in uncomfortable silince for few minutes when she speaks up . B-" I guess you don't want to talk , so I guess I should leave." She said while getting up. I suddenly grabbed her wrist and said J-" NO!!! No I'm getting on the point." She took her seat again and I let go of her hand . J-" so..umm.. yesterday when I came in  at night I actually saw you going on the ro..roof and smo.. smoking an..and blee... bleeding . " She had a blank expression on her face . I continued J- " And...and I kind of kn...know what happened." I was so fucking  nervous . I was literally  stammering B-" and what do you know." She asked . J-" I...I know ummm.... It was because of..of your...yo..your.." she inturupted saying B-" my father." She said with a blank expression . It looked like she already knows about it. J-"how..how do you know that I know ?" I asked curiously . B-" I saw you looking at me while I was going on the roof ." J-"so..umm..so do you want to tell me what happened . " I asked hopefully that she will tell me . Because I want to help her . Yesterday I saw with my eyes how Mr.cooper was beating her to the death but she didn't flinch once or made a noise. It looked like she has suffered from worse . All this time I thought she has a perfect life and a perfect family , but I guess I was wrong. I don't know that was one time thing or it is more often . There were so many questions in my head. And I definitely want answers . I don't know why but I suddenly started to care about her . Because no one deserve to get abuse like that.
