Painful Sight

Jughead's POV
"You Betty Cooper are the most beautiful person ever..."

I saw her stop and I said "your so beautiful that...sometimes I question how anyone can look like you."

She then said "your just saying that..."

I smiled and held one of her hands saying "I'm not, because I'm not fake. Unlike others."

She held her eye and I said "I'm sorry about how you lost your sight, and I wish I could give it back to you believe me...but I can see you...you may not be able to see me or be able to perfectly envision me but I don't care...because I see you and I see perfection..."

She sniffled and said "your not gonna run away?"

I shook my head smiling and she sighed and got up and I got up and she turned to me, she slowly moved her head up and opened her eyes. And I saw them, she had a small scar on her left eye and both eyes were white and full of mist, she looked scared when she took her hand off. I smiled lightly looking at her.

I said "I'm still here...and I see them..."

She smiled lightly and I lifted her chin saying "however I'm taller."

She laughed and I laughed too saying "so your not afraid of me?"

I smirked saying "I'm afraid of dying."

She smiled and I said "how about I take you home?"

She nodded and I smiled and grabbed her hand and helped her into my bike, I got my helmet on her head and she held onto me as I started the bike and we drove away.

When we got to her house I helped her off as she said "thank you Jughead...you've been very kind and...sweet..."

I smiled lightly and she began walking.

I said "Betty..."

She stopped and turned around and I walked up to her and she just stared straight, I smiled and lifted up her head and held her face in my hands.

I asked "may I kiss you?"

I saw her smile as she said "y-you may..."

I smiled and leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips.

I pulled away and she said "do it again..."

I laughed and kissed her again gently and she kissed me back, I felt her hands hold mine that held her face, I pulled away lightly and smiled.

Suddenly I heard "Elizabeth..."

I stopped and turned my head and gulped as a lady stood at the door with her arms crossed.

"It's time to come inside."

I let go of her kinda panicking and she said "we don't have school tomorrow, how about you come over?"

I smiled saying "am I allowed after...this?"

She then said "more then allowed."

I smiled and she walked away and I smiled lightly as her mother helped her inside and she turned to me and smiled at me as she closed the door. I got home and laid down on my bed and smiled to myself.

I heard "what's got you so happy?"

I looked up seeing my dad and I said "I kissed a girl...and I liked it."

He came next to me and smiled saying "proud of you."

I nodded and he said "now get undressed and get some sleep okay?"

I nodded and he left my room as I sighed and just fell asleep like that. The next day I woke up I got dressed into something nice. I took my motorcycle and went to Betty's house, I knocked on the door seeing her mom open it.

I said "Ms Cooper."

She nodded and I was let in as she said "Betty is in her room getting dressed."

I smiled as she said "I don't know what you said to my daughter."

I panicked lightly till she said "but thank you...she's been happier then I have ever seen in the last few years..."

I nodded and she smiled saying "are you allergic to anything?"

I shook my head and she said "I'll make some peach pie!"

Suddenly I heard footsteps and I said "hey Betty I'm here..."

She slowly walked down the stairs and said "hey..."

I smiled and grabbed her hand she held mine slowly and smiled lightly and she took her sunglasses off and smiled as I lifted her chin up.

She said "sorry...still getting used to that."

I smiled and kissed her forehead as she smiled at me and giggled lightly.

"Your beautiful..." I told her.

She smiled as I stroked her cheek and she said "mom can we go to my room?"

She then said "of course..."

Suddenly she came up and whispered something in Betty's ear and Betty scoffed.

She yelled "mom!"

Her mom smiled lightly and Betty took me upstairs. We were in her room and I looked around, it was all pink, everything was either white or pink, it was a lot of pastels. She sat down on her bed and I sat with her.

She said "sorry if I can't do much..."

I shook my head saying "it's cool, so...how is it like being blind?"

She shrugged saying "it's fine I suppose, my other senses are heightened."

I smiled and she said "may I...touch your face?"

I was confused and she said "I just want to understand how you look like, even if I can't see you..."

I nodded and I felt her hands hold my cheeks and she began touching my nose she smiled at me.

She said "you have chubby cheeks..."

She squeezed them and I chuckled lightly.

She then said "what color eyes do you have?"

I smiled saying "blue."

She nodded and smiled saying "I hope you don't judge me for not being able to see you?"

I shook my head saying "I'm fine with it."

She smiled and I pulled her closer and she fell on top of me, she squealed and we fell on her bed and she laughed and I smiled pushing her hair back and she smiled lightly and I sighed looking at her.

"I promise that one day you'll be able to see again."
I told her.

She laughed saying "that's a big promise..."

I smiled saying "I can feel it...I know you will."

She smiled and I kissed her forehead and she kissed my lips gently and I smiled holding her.

But then we heard "Elizabeth! Jughead! Peach pie!"

I smiled as Betty got up and I got off with her and we headed downstairs.
