Prince & Servant a New Generation

Jugheads POV
I groaned as I felt my head hearing "Jug!"

I saw Archie and Sweet Pea as I looked around and didn't see Betty.

I panicked and shouted "Betty! Betty!"

They looked at me and I began panicking "they took her... She took her..."

I cried as Archie held me up and said "we will find her, like you always do. You'll always find her. Protect her...I know you will."

I cried as he hugged me and I held him. When I went inside seeing my three kids my girls hugged me as Oliver looked around and behind me.

"Wheres mum?" He asked holding his dog.

I gulped "Oliver...girls..."

I frowned and Alice asked "where's mommy?"

I sighed and said "I...I couldn't get to her in time...I'm so sorry, we will do everything to bring mommy back. I promise."

The girls began crying and I frowned as Oliver looked at me "you promised you would bring her back, you promised both of you would come back..."

I saw him shaking and I grabbed his shoulders "I know you're hurting. But I will do everything I can to find your mother."

His sweet and humble facade suddenly changed into rage and anger "you said you would protect he! But you let your evil mom take my mom!"

I said "Oliver I'm sorry..."

He shouted "this is the worst birthday ever!"

He ran with his dog as my dad and sister were kinda shocked by Oliver's actions but...I felt awful, guilty. I was stupid enough to even think my mother was even a small bit of trustworthy.

Abby said "it's okay daddy...Alice and I know you'll find mommy."

I smiled and said "come on girls, let's get you to bed."

They nodded and I took them to their rooms. I saw Oliver in his room as he held his dog in bed.

I sat down "hey..."

He didn't talk to me and I said "come on Oliver, you know I had no control over what happened."

He said "at least I wouldn't have been stupid to let go of my weapon."

I shouted "hey!"

He looked at me and I said "don't be using that language with me!"

He said "I wouldn't if you weren't a liar!"

He grabbed his stuff and left as I groaned rubbing my face as I saw Veronica come in as Oliver walked out.

"Heard yelling...you okay?"

I sighed and said "it is my fault, why was I so gullible to believe my mother?"

She frowned telling me "you never would want to give up on believing your parents."

I sighed as she said "give Oliver some time to take it all in, I mean...we all know he loves Betty more than you."

I looked at her as she said "Jughead, don't deny it."

I sighed and she said "and he's Bettys baby boy...we cannot blame the fact that he's feeling like this, perhaps he even feels guilty himself... wanting to protect his mom just like he has to do when he's older and he's married and...in love. And happy."

I nodded as she hugged me saying "I believe your son is just going through this. So don't worry okay? Now, Archie is with the guards, why don't you go and try and find the love of your life to make your son happier. I'll watch over him okay?"

I nodded and went to go find Archie.

Oliver's POV
I was on the couch in our living room as I tossed and turned. I sighed and saw my dog Hot Dog stare at me.

"Im sorry boy, I just miss my mom."

He licked my face and I laughed saying "my dad just doesn't understand...he's never there for me. Sure he supports me and I know he loves me...but he's never there. When I won my first game, when I had my broken arm and all she was more worried. She doesn't try and yell at me. She got my dad to let me keep you. I have to grow up but...I don't want too. Im scared."

I sniffled and said "and now she has my new brother or sister...but grandma has her...and she might get hurt...my little brother and sister might get hurt and I cannot do anything about it..."

I cried and held him as he snuggled against me. "And I know my dad...he loves Abby more and Alice is loved equally by both my parents."

I cried and said "I know I'm older but sometimes...I feel like my dad doesn't even care about me."

I sniffled and suddenly heard "that is not true."

I turned around seeing my dad as I gulped and he said "Oliver Jackson Jones."

I frowned hearing my full name "I love you with all of my heart."

I asked him "why are you never there for me? Anytime I want you there you're never there. But then if it's Abby, you're always there!" I shouted.

He said "I work hard to make sure you are your siblings are happy!"

I shouted at him "and you never do that! Stop lying and trying to make excuses! Every soccer game I've ever had for the last 3 years! I always ask you to come and you never do! Mom is always there cheering me on! Getting me ice cream when I win! If I get hurt she's mad but also helps me after my injury! What have you done!? Nothing!"

I saw him look offended as I continued "but if it's Abby's dance recitals-oh my god! You always go to them! You had a business thing one of those times and you cancelled just to go see her! But when you had time off of work you went in anyways! And I had my final soccer game of the season! You give her flowers! Cheer her on...but me? I get none of that..."

He said "Oliver I never knew that, I'm so sorry."

He came closer to me and I said "just stop it! I've had enough of not being able to be happy! I have never once spoken bad about Abby and Alice when you do all the nice things! I keep it all in because I'm there big brother I'm not allowed to be jealous but I am! I am! And the only person I can let out all of my sadness, anger, someone I can feel safe and comfortable with...my mom is gone!" I screamed and cried out.

I grabbed Hot Dog and took him away from the common room as I saw Jake in one of the guest rooms as he saw me.

"Oliver?"

I frowned and he walked over "what's wrong?"

I cried and he hugged me and patted my back.

"Hey it's okay...you don't have to tell me."

He got me on the bed as Hot Dog formed into a ball.

I asked him "why doesn't my dad love me as much as my sisters?"

He frowned and I said "does your dad and mom love you equally?"

He smiled and said "they parent way different from yours Oliver...I'm sorry you feel this way..."

I sighed as he said "don't think about him Oliver. Im your best friend and you can tell me everything."

I smiled and he smiled back as he said "besides... I do agree your sisters do get your father, but... even then you act so mature when that happens."

I sighed out "not anymore."

I laid down as he laid beside me and said "just get some rest...I know you don't easily sleep with your nightmares, but if you have one, I'm a light sleeper."

I laughed and he did too as I said "thanks Jack."

He nodded and we both fell asleep.
