A Bughead story

Chapter 34

      Jugheads POV
⚠️light rape SA mention⚠️

This is embarrassing. I am unable to talk or move. The stupid thing down my throat- I want to rip it out. Not to mention the only thing covering my body is a hospital dress and a blanket tucked around me. I heard Betty crying and arguing with Keller. Nothing I could do. I feel like fucking shit. Psychically, everything hurts and is numb. Mentally, I hate the way Betty's being treated.

Now we are on the helicopter and I have a slot for my bed and there are only 3 seats so jellybean was sitting on my dad. I am so confused why he is here and now in rehab. Betty say in the seat closest to me. "Jug, you can sleep if you are tired. I think it's going to be a long ride." She says and I think I've slept for the past couple hours. I guess she's just trying to be careful. I can only imagine how traumatized her and jellybean will be. I don't think jellybean saw much of what happened but after I was on the floor she saw that. She was the last thing I saw and or heard when I passed out. "Hey jughead, did you know you have my blood in your body" jellybean says and I am slightly able to arch my eyebrow.

I didn't know that.

"I wish he could talk to us" jb says.

Me too. Kid. Me too.

Betty looks like a wreck. Her face is puffy and her hair is in a bun and she looks terribly stressed. She shouldn't be. It makes my blood boil that the stupid man laid hands on her. Maybe that is why I lost it. No it definitely wasn't. I was sure as hell not going to stand there and watch as she got raped. And or assaulted. I still have no idea who those men where or what they wanted. "Jughead you have absolutely no clue how crazy you make me" Betty flashed a quick smile.

Oh. Believe me I fucking know. Crazy enough to take me back every time I left. Crazy enough to stay with me even after all my shit. All my drama. Everything. Crazy enough to shoot people for my life.

I'm not quite sure who or if she shot someone but I heard a gunshot before I become unconscious. Everything is still a little fuzzy.

Betty taps her fingers against each other. The order of which she does so began to not be in the right order. Then it was like everything quickly zoomed out and painful then fuzzy. Then nothing.    Ugh. Not again. I can hear but I can't see or move. "Jughead?!" Betty's voice because quickly alert and beeping happened. Loud annoying beeping. Before anyone could help I felt better. I see and I would move slightly. Like wiggling my fingers. "What the hell just happened?" Betty asked a medical assistant who climbed back from the front of the helicopter. "His blood pressure- it was low" said a blue haired woman with braids. Betty looked to open her mouth but didn't. The woman hooked up some kind of new bag for my IV and said it would help. I feel drowsy and empty. I have no feeling or emotion now. I force myself to sleep to make time go by.

I wake up in a new hospital room. A much bigger and nicer one which can only be followed by a nice hospital of course. "Jug" Betty said brushing her hand warm tiny against my face. I hate the way the liquid feels coming down the tube. It's tiring being connected to these machines and wires all day. They do everything for me. I want to go back to our normal life. Now there's definitely no way that making it to next year. I'm going to be held back. It's a terrible feeling knowing that your friends and girlfriend will graduate without you.

The sun is beginning to set. Everyone else but Betty went to go get food. I need to tell her she has to eat but I can't. She haven't eaten since last night. That's all I know of but it's probably longer. And no one else has noticed. She's to focused on me to care about herself. Jellybean has been quiet and so has dad. Jellybean is most likely to ashamed to say anything to me now. My dad couldn't care less. I'm not sure why he's here. I want to tell him to get his ass back in rehab. For Alice? I'm not sure about Alice. I feel like she's probably still mad at me for messing around with Betty. Alice hides her emotions well unlike Betty.
