Saving Her Innocence

15

Bettys POV
I woke up to crying and I walked over as I picked up Tyler and groaned holding him.

"Hey what's wrong?" I asked.

He whimpered as I said "did you have a bad dream?"

I frowned as I got back into bed seeing Jughead as he groaned rubbing his eyes.

"Is he okay?" He asked me and I smiled.

I said "he just had a nightmare..."

He nodded and held my thigh as I smiled saying "it's okay Tyler...no one's getting you here..."

I smiled softly until I began crying holding him as Jughead sat up noticing me.

I said "no you can go back to bed..."

He told me "you're crying..."

I smiled gently saying "I just..."

I sniffled and he sat up and rubbed my back "thanks for letting me stay here..."

He nodded and I sniffled and he kissed my head as he held me tightly as I leaned myself on him as he rubbed Tyler's back.

"Like I told you, nothing is gonna happen to either of you. Not on my watch."

I smiled softly and nodded as he kissed my forehead.

I began crying and he said "hey..."

He held my face as I said "I just..."

I gulped and shook my head and he said "tell me Betts..."

I looked at him saying "why me?"

He was confused and I said "out of all the girls that night...October on Halloween where half the girls in New York are naked and me? I was wearing some sweats and sweatshirt...all I wanted to do was apologize to Veronica than go home..."

He frowned and I cried as he kissed my head.

"I love Tyler so much but it hurts...and...now being here, sharing the same bed and...I know sometimes one thing will lead to another...but everytime you touch me almost anywhere I get so scared...and I don't blame Tyler but I..."

He said "hey..."

I cried as he held my cheek and smiled "I'm never gonna force you to do something if you don't want me to and you better tell me when your uncomfortable."

I nodded and he smiled and said "get some rest okay?"

I nodded and he held me and I held his arm as he rubbed Tyler's back as I slowly fell back to sleep. When I woke up I looked in front of me and no Tyler.

I looked in the crib and said "Jug!"

He woke up and I shouted and panicked "where's Tyler!?"
