Mafia (bughead)

Part 35

Betty POV

J-"how did that happen?" He demands more than asks. B-"uh-your d-dad grabbed me" I said, my voice getting higher as I tried to get through the sentence without crying. He didn't say anything more, he just walked out of the room quickly. I watched the half open door for a moment until deciding to sit down at the edge of his bed. I put my hands on my knees and began breathing deeply to calm myself.

I laid down on my back, not under the covers, just looking up at the ceiling. Minutes later I was dead asleep, as my whole breakdown tired me the fuck out.

Jughead POV

I left Betty alone in my room to go and find my asshole of a father, but looking around I couldn't find him anywhere. I looked in his room, and his office, two places he usually was, but he wasn't even there. I quickly checked the rest of the house before taking in a breathe and going back to Betty.

I walked in and closed the door behind me, seeing her asleep near the foot of my bed. I went over to her and carefully picked her up and moved her to the side she always goes to, and placed her down softly. I pulled the blanket over her, before going into my bathroom connected to my room.

I brushed my teeth swiftly, and got into grey sweatpants and a black fitted t-shirt. When I walked back into my room, Betty was sprawled across the entire bed. I chuckled lightly to myself before climbing onto the side she wasn't taking over. As I closed my eyes I felt her body press close to mine. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her forehead before letting sleep over take me.

Partway through the night I heard my door open and abruptly sat up, startlingly Betty. B-"whoa what the fuck." She cursed sitting up a long with me. I looked towards my door, and saw nothing there other than it being open just a crack. I swung my legs over the side of my bed and stood up. J-"just stay here for a moment. I have a weird feeling." I walked out of my room and saw my dad standing next to the wall and putting his belt back on his pants.

J-"what. the. fuck." F-"son!" He jumped seeing me there. J-"what the hell were you doing?" He looked at my door and then back at me. F-"uh I was just walking past, heading to my room." He said nodding further down the hall where his room sat across the hall. J-"sure. What was with your belt?" I asked.
F-"it was uncomfortable." He said nonchalantly.

I really didn't believe him as he wore the same belt everyday and this was that belt. I narrowed my eyes at him, in knowing exactly what he was trying to do. He sighed heavily dropping his shoulders.
F-"goodnight Jughead." He said walking past me and disappeared into his room.

I walked back into my room to see Betty sitting there with one eyebrow raised. B-"you gonna tell me what that was about?" J-"I think it'd make you uncomfortable. I might tell you later though." She rolled her eyes and laid back down. J-"you want something more comfortable than those jeans?"
B-"oh, I'm okay." She said sounding a little bit surprised that I offered. J-"if you change your mind, you can ask me, or just take something. I don't really care." I laid back down next to her and peacefully fell back asleep through the rest of the night.

Waking up the next morning, I saw the spot next to me to be empty. I looked around to see a pair of jeans on the ground, and I went into the bathroom after getting up from my bed. I brushed my teeth quickly and wandered into the kitchen to see Betty sitting at our island with a plate of eggs and toast and her phone open, watching tik toks. I looked down to see her wearing a blue plaid pair of my pajama pants and smiled a little.

J-"did you make that?" I ask sitting next to her. She jumped a little before nodding her head. J-"can I have some?" B-"make your own, bitch." She said with a sweet smile. J-"noted." I  said nodding my head and standing back up. I walked around the island and over to the fridge. Opening up the doors and getting the carton of oat milk. I went over to the pantry and looked at the boxes of cereal before deciding to grab the Lucky Charms.

Betty looked up at me and laughed. B-"are you fucking five!?" She asked almost falling off the chair from laughter. B-"lucky charms?!" J-"don't hate on me because I have good taste buds." I said throwing my hands up after placing the things on the counter.
Her laugh faded as I grabbed a bowl and a spoon, putting in the cereal and then the milk. B-"I'm just glad you know the right way to make a bowl of cereal." She said, opening her phone back up and going back onto TikTok.

I sat back down next to her and she locked her phone again, then laid her head on my shoulder.
J-"you sleep okay after I accidentally woke you up?" I ask her. B-"yeah it was fine." J-"when'd you change into those?" I asked signaling towards the blue pants she took from me. B-"oh I woke back up and was uncomfortable. I hope you don't mind." She said sitting back up straight. J-"I told you you could do it. You're all good." I said with a smile.
