When the heart bleeds ~ Bughead

Chapter 19

When Betty arrived downstairs, she told her cousins what had happened.

Veronica and Cheryl both thought that Betty had overreacted and should apologize to Jughead.

Betty herself did not know why she acted so stupidly.

She loved Jughead but something made her do these stupid things.

It was as if some words left her mouth without her wanting them to.

The first time this happened was the day after she heard her father's voice.

Betty called Ashton stupid and annoying when he was taking care of her.

Later that day she apologized, but by now this kind of thing happened more often.

The young blonde didn't know what it was, of course she realized that this was no excuse, but she wanted to know what was happening to her.

A little later, Jughead sat down across from her.

Betty smiled slightly at him, but he simply ignored her.

She realized she had made a big mistake by just leaving.

"Betty, Betty, Betty. What a shame you and your friend aren't good right now... I'm doing a good job, don't you think? Well, I'll see you soon."

The blonde knew it was Hal because he spoke to her almost every day.

She hadn't told anyone, though, to avoid adding to the drama.

She realized that she had to tell the others what happened to her and apologize to Jughead.

They started to have breakfast and planned the day.

They would work out at the gym all day and have dinner with Jake, Mike and Ellie later that night.

After Betty ate her roll with strawberry jam, she got up and went to her room.

Once upstairs, she changed into her gym clothes that consisted of long gym shorts and a sports bra.

As Betty put her hair in a ponytail, Jughead entered the room.

"Jug, can we please talk?"

She asked her mate.

"What do you want to talk about? That you're totally neglecting me? That Mike flirts with you all the time? That Mike calls you 'darling' all the time?"

Jughead folded his arms.

"I really don't want to seem as the type of boyfriend who doesn't allow you anything. But I am honest I hate Mike and I hat you guys being so close."

"I'm sorry. I know that's not going to do any good. And I know it doesn't make anything better. But I'm really, really sorry.

I completely understand you and I am gonna take care of the thing with Mike."

Betty looked at Jug while hoping he'd forgive her.

Jughead sighed but then answered.

"Okay, I can't be mad at you. But please, please do something about Mike. I can't watch this anymore."

Jughead calmed down a little.

"Okay, I'll talk to him today. Is everything okay again?"

Betty answered him.

"Yes, all is well again."

With that said, Betty jumped into his arms.

"Okay, okay."

Jug had to laugh.

"Do you want to go to the gym? The others should all be downstairs by now."

Betty asked.

"Yeah, I'll just change and then we can go."

A few minutes later, the two took the elevator to the gym.

After a few hours of training, everyone was really exhausted and headed back to their rooms.

Cheryl, Toni, Veronica and Betty spent most of their time together.

After about 6 hours and having lunch everybody made their way back to their room.

"Do you think Betty and Jughead are okay again?"

Toni asked her girlfriend.

"I think so. I hope that Betty takes it serious this time. But I don't want to talk about them the whole time. What about you TT? How are you?"

Cheryl answered.

"Awww, babe. I don't know I think I am just way to stressed out but as soon as this is over. We'll be able to relaxe."

The pink haired beauty told her while laying down in their bed.

"I love you."

The Blossom-Twin said as she leaned over to her girlfriend and kissed her.

"I love you too."

Toni answered and they started to make out.

Two rooms next to them Veronica was sitting on the sofa in her room while talking to her secret boyfriend.

"Do you think we should tell anyone about us?"

She asked him while playing with a pen.

A habit she had since Betty and her were little children as soon as Veronica got nervous she played with anything that was within her reach.

"Veronica. Everything is going to be alright. Just calm down."

He told her.

"Let's keep it a secret for a while and then see when it's the right time for us to tell everyone about us."

Veronica nodded and laid the pen back on the little table in front of her.
