My Love -A Bughead Story

Month 4, I Can't Do Anything

*time skip*

Narrator's Point Of View:

Time has flown since prom, Betty and Jughead had their talk about what will happen when she's gone, Alice has been dreading each day leading up to the day she will be laid in a hospital bed, Veronica crying silently at night, Betty pushing herself away from others, Jughead trying to be strong. All of it was too much, too fast. 

Betty's Point Of  View:

Today is the day, my mom drives me over to the hospital and the doctors lay me in a bed, all we have to do is wait, until my lungs give up, and the unplug me. Every few minutes I would cough, making everyone's heart skip a beat. Jughead's sitting on the chair beside me, holding my hand. "Your going to be ok Betty, I promise." He tells me. I know my life is ending today, I know it might not have to, but the doctors said its whats best. So I agreed. 

Everyones sitting in the room, looking at me, looking down, each trying to hold back tears. Then I cough, and it wasn't one cough, it was many. I couldn't stop coughing, it was uncontrollable. That's when everyone started crying. My mom called in a doctor and Jug kept holding my hand. "Your ok, your ok, your ok" He would keep repeating to me. 

The doctor puts a breathing machine on me, helping me catch my breathe so I can stay longer. "You all should say your goodbyes now, she doesn't have much longer." The doctor tells everyone, then leaves. "I'll let your friends say goodbye first" My mom says well leaving, alone with Jughead and Veronica. "Hey Betty" Toni says to me, "h-h-ehhy" I try to say. "Hey, don't try to talk, just listen. I love you, and I will never forget you ok? You are my best friend, and I love you so, so much. I'll miss you, and I know everyone else will too." Toni says, crying. She kisses my forehead and leaves the room. "B-betty, I don't even know what to say, this feels unreal. This isn't fair, you- I- I'm sorry. A-and I love you." Kevin manages. 

Everyone says their goodbyes making me stream tears, not being able to say anything back is killing me. 

"Hey..." Jughead says walking into the room. "There is not much I will say because I know i won't be able to bare watching you sit like that, crying from my words. I don't know what I am going to do without you. Betty you are my light. My life. My love. And it hurts me to see you like this, weak, and unable to breathe. You haven't done anything to deserve this, I know it, you know it. And it really sucks we only had 4 months to live our relationship, but trust me when I say, that was the best 4 months of my life. And it always will be. The laughs we shared, the trips we took, and the tears we shed, shows just how much we love each other. Just how much I love you. When I first laid eyes on you I knew you were the one, the only one. And it's true, I will never love anyone as much as I love you. We did as much as we could in the 4 months we had together. As much as I would've loved to do. It sucks we couldn't have done more, couldn't have had more. More time. I want you to know that if I could take your place, and you could have mine, I would do it in a heartbeat. You're the only thing I have to loose, but you? You have Toni, Veronica, Kevin, your mom. You have a whole life that you should be living, and I'm really sorry I can't give it to you. We have been preparing for this for months, knowing it was coming, but I would've never been full prepared, or prepared at all. There is no way to prepare yourself to lose the one and only person you love in life, it is always a shock, always unexpected and hurtful. But I don't want to hurt, I want to live, for you. Because you can't. I love you Betty Cooper, you truly are my love. And for that..." 

Jughead starts to sing softly. 

So, I say a little prayer.

And hope my dreams will take me there.

Where the skies are blue.

To see you once again, my love.

Overseas, from coast to coast.

To find a place I love the most.

Where the fields are green.

To see you once again.

To hold you in my arms.

To promise you my love.

To tell you from the heart.

You're all I'm thinking of.

 I'm reaching for the love that seems so far.

I am now crying like crazy, tears are pouring out of my eyes, uncontrollably. 

So, I say a little prayer.

And hope my dreams will take me there.

Where the skies are blue.

To see you once again, my love.

Overseas, from coast to coast.

To find the place I love the most

Where the fields are green.

To see you once again.

I know I shouldn't do this but, I must. I have to say one more thing to him, one last thing. So I rip off the breathing machine that was stopping me from breathing and gasp for air. I sing the last two words of the song with him as well as I can.

My love.

"No Betty no!" Jughead screams as I start coughing and grasping for any more air I can get. He shouts for a doctor and tries to put the breathing machine back on me but I refuse, I am not going to die by getting unplugged, I want to do it well being able to speak. I want to say the last words, before it's lights out. 

"I love you." I tell him. 

That's when everything stopped.

Jughead's Point Of  View:

"Doctor! Alice! Everyone! Get in here!" I shout as they all come rushing in. "What happened?" The doctor asks me. "S-she took it off and re-refused to put it o-on again." I tell them. "I see." Is all the doctor says before unplugging the machine from the wall. "Look I know this is hard to hear, but she chose to say the last word, and she's gone. We can't bring her back from that. She wanted to be in control, and she was. You have to believe me, this is what she wanted." She adds. 

I fall to the ground, and hug my knees. She's gone, she's actually gone. 

I can't do anything. I can't move, I can't speak. I just cry, and cry and cry.

Everyone runs down and hugs me, holding me and comforting me. 

I know their trying to be nice and comforting but it doesn't help knowing that they are feeling like me too, but they are trying to cover it up to help me. 

I can't do anything.
