⚠️rape mention warning⚠️
The girls rush into Riverdale general and ask about jughead. "I'm sorry-" the nurse speaks and Betty falls to the ground with her hands covering her mouth and she sobs. Her heart sank to the bottom of her stomach and she felt like she was going to die. Photos and videos were being taken of her. "He is undergoing extreme emergency surgery then we will fly him to Minnesotas mayo clinic." The nurse says and Bettys heart flys back up a bit. "He's alive?" Jellybean asks and it was my exact thought. The nurse nods. "Would you like to talk to a doctor?" She asks and Betty shook her head franticly. "Have a seat and someone will be right with you." They sat down and Betty's leg bounced. This has to be the worst feeling she will ever feel in her life. Jellybean is so scared that the last conversation she will ever have with her brother is about how she hates him and his girlfriend. Alice is scared for both Betty and jellybeans sake. Betty simply can not live without jughead. Betty is struggling to catch her breath although it's been 45 minutes since she pulled the trigger. She will never get the picture of jugheads body bleeding out from her mind. She zones off but a doctor begins to chat with them. "Alice?" He questioned and she nods. "If jughead even survives this surgery then he will be in a critical state. I am taking months of pain and hospitals. We are going to have a helicopter take him to Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. They can take much better care of him. This surgery will take hours if successful. You see when he was stabbed with a dirty knife it created a infection, it was pulled out and it left him bleeding out. He's lost a lot of blood and he needs more. Is there a match in your family for him?" Jellybean raised her hand. "I'm his sister. I'm not sure what blood type I am but test me. I want to help him... well get your ass up and do something" she says when he's still sitting. He hurry's up. "Minnesota? We have to pack. Can you go home and pack so I can stay here with him?" Betty asks her mom.
"Sweetie I am both of their guardians I have to stay, you heard what he said... 'if successful'. Alice grabbed Betty's hand in hers. "He will make it. I will hurry. Call me if anything changes" betty says running down the hall calling Archie. "Come to my house in a few minutes I need help I'll explain there."

"It's a match. Alice you have to sign these papers. Let's take you to a hospital room. Get us a juice box and crackers." The doctor tells a nurse then they follow him in a room. Jellybean sits in the chair and a nurse comes in with the snack and juice. "Be sure to drink it up and have the snack after." He says cleaning her arm. "We pumped jughead with antibiotics to help with the infection. But uhm- his heart stoped for little less then a minute and that, people don't usually come back from that. The surgery is going well though. The knife twisted his intestines but they repaired it. His heart is fragile. If they don't think he can survive the heart surgery today then they will close him up and put him on a pacemaker and or ventilator. I am sorry that this happened. It is a terrible situation." He says and the girls are both silent trying to process this. "He's strong. He knows that he has to stay. My blood will help him right?" Jellybean asked as she watched her blood collect in a bag. She didn't even notice that he already started the process. "It will definitely help. Make sure to drink the juice. I will take two bags but if you feel sick tell me and I'll stop". She nods taking a drink of the juice. Jellybean feels fine but even if she didn't she wouldn't say anything. Jughead needs her blood. Alice's hands pressed together and she prays. She prays jughead will live and recover. She prays that Jellybean will have a chance to tell her brother she loves him ands she's sorry. Prays that Betty will have the love of her life by her side again. And she most definitely prays that she can apologize to him. She knows she has been cruel to him. She prays the police can find out who did this. It's been a good half an hour and Betty should be back soon. One bag of blood is done and onto the second one. Jellybean is handed another juice box. A nurse takes the blood bag. "I would like to donate my blood. To anybody. I'm healthy" Alice speaks up wanting to help and save others. "I'll get you papers, her blood will just drip into the bag until I get back" he tells them quickly getting up. "Alice?" Jellybeans soft voice speaks. "Will jughead die?" She asks with her voice fast and brittle. "I hope not. These people are here to help him." Alice speaks calmly and slowly. Trying not to scare the child. The doctor and a nurse came in. "Fill this out please and then I will start your blood donation!" The chirpy nurse sings. Alice takes the paper and fills out her blood type,age and history. She finished with the signing of her name. The nurse took the paper to the nurses station. She then started taking blood. A knock was on the closed door then it opened. A woman in blue scrubs and Betty. Normally Betty would thank her but it didn't even cross her mind. A tall lean brown haired man followed behind Betty. "Dad!" "Fp?" Alice and jellybean exclaimed in surprise. His eyes were bloodshot and his stare was blank. The information must have been poured all over him. He grabbed a remote and turned on the TV. Sure enough the tragic day was plastered all over the news. They were calling it a murder scene. Betty seemed like she was choking on her own tears. Fp was frozen watching the TV. "I can't believe this. This isn't real. I- I would have been fine. But- but jughead had to go and fight them. He didn't need too. I know what would of happened to me but it's nothing compared to what's happening to him now. I couldn't even recognize him. His face was so bloody I- I shot people!" Betty's words were rushed and frantic.
