Forbidden Romance

Chapter 14

"Dad, why did you become the Black Hood?" I ask. "Cause this is a town of sinners, Y/n. And..." He started. "Sinners have to die." Betty finished. "Your speech at the Jubilee. Reminded me of a promise that I'd made to my mother. That this town will do better, we must do better. So I picked up my father's sword, and I continued the work that he and my grandfather started. The urging of sin." He said. "No, none of this makes any sense." Mom said standing up. "Dad, why did you want all of this recorded?" Betty asks. "I want everyone to understand when they find us." He said. I sat there not knowing what to do or even say. All I wanted to do was leave now get out of here but I can't I'm trapped in this nightmare. 

Well, Hal, I can't say I'm surprised. I always knew you were a Mama's boy." Mom said. "What did you say?" He asked. "You heard me." She said laughing. "I knew it. I knew you couldn't do anything for yourself." She said. What the hell is she doing? This is a death wish. "Mom, whatever you're doing, I wouldn't." Betty said. "All I'm doing is I'm pointing out that your father can't do anything right." Not even be a serial killer!" She said.  "Cleansing the town of sin? Really, Hal, you're the damn sinner." She said stepping closer to him. "Mom..." Me and Betty said. 

"What are you going to do, Hal? Are you going to kill the entire town? Whoever's jaywalked? What did Fred Andrews do to deserve to get shot?" She asked. "He was an adulterer." He said. "Oh, then why don't you kill yourself? You had a fling with Penelope Blossom." Mom said. Then he started choking her. Betty already had one of the fireplace things and was ready to hit him. I was over by Betty paralyzed in fear.  Mom tried hitting him but it didn't do anything. Betty finally hit him over the head making him hit the floor. Mom took it from Betty hitting him again then held her throat. Holly shit. As they called the police I stood there and texted Jake about what happened. Maybe I should get away. It would be best for me. 

As Sheriff Keller took Dad away I couldn't help but cry. He just got home and everything was good again. Well somewhat. I didn't want to lose him again. Even though he's a killer. The neighbors were outside watching it all go down. I don't want this to get more attention than it will already. "It was him, Arch. Our dad was the Black Hood." Betty said as I watched Keller put him in the back. "How did you-- Did you see him leave my house? He tried to shoot my dad again." Archie told us. "When?" Betty asked. "An hour ago." He said. "No, no, no. That's impossible, he was here with us." Betty said as her phone rang. 

"Jug? Me, too, Jug. You have no idea. What are you saying Jug? Where are you?" She asks. "Where is he?" Ma and Archie ask. But then he hung up. What the fuck is going on?  Betty wanted me to call Fp but I didn't want to see him right now. I just wanted to leave the notes I wrote and leave already. "Mr. Jones, is Jughead with you? I'm just really worried about him. He called to say how much he loves me and it almost sounded like he was saying goodbye for good." Betty said but then a click. He hung up. Me and them share a look with fear written all over our faces.

 (Idk who they found out where Jughead was but skips to then)

Once we get there we walk over to everyone else. "Where is he? Where's Jug?" Betty said. "Guys..." Archie said. We look over to where Archie was looking to see Fp walking out of the woods with Jug in his arms lifeless and bloody. I could barely breathe. I felt like I lost a part of myself. We rushed him to the hospital and they checked him in right away. After a while, we had to go home but Fp stayed with him. I wish I could stay with him. I am so glad he was ok and alive. I don't know what I would have done if I lost him. Later I found out he was awake. I wanted to see him but I just couldn't do it. Betty did though. As much as I missed him I just couldn't see him. Or Fp. 

Archie and Veronica went to see him to asking if I wanted to go with them but I told them no. I love Jug but I don't want to see him with all those cuts and brusies. I was sitting in my room with Jake and we talked about leaving together. "I don't know if I should. After everything that's happened with my dad and Jughead. I think I should stay." I told him. "But this proves that this town is unsafe. We can leave and get married and start a family. Just you and me. No wrong side of the tracks or gangs. No murders or riots. We can find a safe place to live." He said. "That does sound nice." I said as I lay in his arms. "Just think about it. If you need more time then I'll leave first and get a new phone and I'll call you. And when your ready I'll let you know where I'm at. How does that sound? That means you can be there for your mom and Jughead for a little longer." He said.
