MISSED ME?!?!?!?!?!

Betty P.O.V
I stared at the clock in anticipation, playing with my ponytail as I stared at the clock moving very slowly. My left leg is bouncing up and down as I can't seem to stop the excitement that's coursing trough my veins right now. And as soon as I see that it's finally midnight, I jump up.

I grab my pink bag wich I packed before hand. It's defiently one of the cones I learned from living with my mom for 17 years, planning is key. If you forgot a pen? Don't worry I have 5 extra, ohhh you forgot pads? I got you coverd for 3 days if you need it. I am always for everything, well I tought I was ready. But I didn't have annything in my bags or my room to help me with the beanie wearing boy from the southside.

I tightend the bow I put in my hair this morning before straightening my dress and opening the window. I rechecked if my door was locked, nodding as I saw it was. I pulled first my left leg, and placed it carefully on the ladder I lent from mr.Andrews and then pulled my right leg over it too. Whrn I was safely standing on the ladder, I shut the window until it was almost closed. But placed a book between it, before climbing down.

When my feet hit the ground safely I let out a small breath of relief and start making my way towards the spot I walk to almost every night. And even tho I know the way, and I know that in Riverdale nothing will happen. Even at midnight in the dark forest. Fear will always make me walk faster.

The sound of fallen leaves crunching under my new shoes was the only sound you heard, the flashlight of my phone showing me where to walk. When I find our three I smile, now it's waiting. I grab my bag and pull out the old towel I crumpeld in, before playing it down on the dirty floor and sitting on it. I take my shoes off and breath in relief, they are very pretty but they just got deliverd yesterday. And my mom forced me to put them in my room, making them the only pair I could put on if I didn't want to make my parent up.

I wiggeld my toes a little and smiled as I looked at the sky. The dark blue night coverd with little dots of bright white light, the moon providing enough light for me to admire an owl flying above my head.

But my smile quickly stopped as I heard footsteps behind me, my heart picked up as I stood up. A shoe in my hand, as if I'm holding a gun. "Jug, if this is you tell me please!" I yell out, my head trying to calm myself down.

Jughead does pranks all the time, if I got an euro everytime he scared me in the middle of the night I would defiently be a millionare. And if I would be, I would so not share my wealth with him!

That big stupid meanie.

More rustling came from behind me, I quickly truned around. Not fast enough to see a person, but fast enough to see a shadow running away. "This isn't funny!" I yell, my voice starting to shiver a little.

Calm down Betty, calm down. It's just Jughead thinking he is funny. It's kust the love of your live. Don't worry, no need to panic. No need to-

My train of toughts got cut of when a hand was suddenly gripping my arm. I let out a scream, before quickly shining my phone on the person who grabbed. My eyes growing wide at the person I saw, "Archie?!" I ask in disbelieve.

What the hell was my northside bestdriend doing here? And why the hell is he not letting go of the tight grip he has on my arm.

"Betty, what the fuck are you doing here? It's midnight!" He asks me, a spucious look in his eyes as he checked me over for what I assume bruises. "Well I can ask you the same qeustion Arch!" I say, ripping my arm from his grip as I looked at him.

"Well I saw you leave your room, and I decided to follow you. Thinking you were in trouble, but clearly you're just delusional" he says, making me wrap my arms around myself. "So now, explain what you're doing in the forest in the middle of the night"

I gulp and look down, ready to tell one of my many lies. But my breathing got cought in my troath when I heard the familliar voice behind me that I love so deeply.

"Babyyy, I'm so sorry I'm late. But I got us pops" he says before his eyes grew wide, staring right in Archies eyes that were just as wide. Filled with shock and qeustions.

"Baby? Betty, what the fuck is going on here?!" He asked, no wait he demanded me. Looking in my eyes with an anger I've not seen of my friend before. The grip of my arm tightens more, making me wince a little.

"Archie, let me go and I'll explain" I say, trying to not let the fear I feel be evident in my voice. I failed badly tho, because within seconds Jughead was at my side and ripped Archies hands of off me. Pushing him to the ground.

"I don't know who you are red, but don't you dare lay a finger on Betty" he warned, his voice going dark. The same voice I only hear him ever talk in when he orders the serpents around. Everyone is afraid of him when talks like that, but I'm not. Because I know he never will hurt me...archie tho, I'm not so sure.

"Betty is my best friend, and I can fucking do what I want!" Archie yelled, using the tree to stand back up "and I want awnsers, Betty are you fucking this serpent trash?" He asked me in anger and disbelieve.

I stayed quiet, and my hands started to shake. slowly I felt the hand of Jughead go in mine, I gripped it tightly and felt a sense of security wash over me. He will always be able to make me feel safe, no matter what the situation is.

"Red, I would shut your fucking mouth if I were you" Jughead warns, his voice dipped into darknes. Archie just scoffed and looked at us "what, you think I'm afraid for some trailer trash?" He asked making me suck in a breath.

"Archie...why are you being like this?" I asked softly, normally he was nice. Yes he was stupid and could say stupid shit. But he was never mean, not like this. "Because betty, I never expected you to be such a fucking serpent slut!" He roared, and that was it.

Jughead unwrapped his hand from mine and sprinted towards Archie, admdietly starting to attack him with his fists. And within seconds Archie was down on the floor, his face all bloody and crying in pain.

I stared at everything with wide eyes before quickly rushing over to Jughead, tugging on his arm as I feel tears fall down my cheeks. I'm not scared of Jughead for me, I'm scared of Archie for insulting me.

"Jughead stop! Stop for me!" I yell oit, making his fist still in the air. He let out a breath and slowly looked up at my face. His eyes fell into a softness I only get to see and he nodded his head, I help him stand up before wrapping my arms around him "let's just go" I say, after I made sure that archie is doing okay. Yes he's bruised and bloody, but okay luckily.

We silently made our way towards jugheads trailer, a tense silence hanging in the air. "Baby, don't be mad at me please" I suddenly hear, my head moved towards Jughead and let out a sigh. "I'm not mad jug, I'm scared"

His eyebrows moved together into a frown at that "what are you scared about, not me I hope. Because you know I'll never ever hurt you" he spoke, placing his hands on my cheeks making me look into his eyes.

I shook my head at that, I'll never be afraid of Jughead hurting me.

"no not that jug...I'm scared for tomorrow, for what happens after Archie tells everyone I'm dating the Leader of the serpents. They'll never accept me ever again"
