Healing the pain with him

Part 2

Betty pov

I was kissing the guy and was very confused as he pulled away and said long time no see.

I turned around to see who he was talking to and I immediately panicked inside but couldn't show it.

It was jughead. The one who I loved with my whole heart.

What on earth was he doing here. I had pictured for so long he moved somewhere far away.

But did he just move to greendale.

I have so many questions swarming in my head and I felt like I was gonna throw up.

I couldn't believe that the girl I haven't seen in 5 years is standing right infront of me. But yet somehow she is.

I wanted to say something but I couldn't. I don't know what I'm supposed to say.

I could tell she knew who I was and the look of her face said it all.

The look of sadness that washed over her eye before it turned to anger didn't go unnoticed by me.

She walked away looking so pissed of and looked like she was trying to find someone.

I snapped back into it for the sake of why we are actually here even know my heart was racing.

My friends looked confused as they didn't know why I looked at her like that.

They know who Betty is and I've described her but at the same time they have never met her so won't know what she looks like.

"Now why must you ruin my fun she was a pretty little thing" malachai said clearly annoyed making my blood boil.

"Just back of her you're not someone to go for northsiders anyway" I snapped at him and we ended up sorting out what we needed to so our job was done.

"Who was that" Toni asked curiously "Betty" I replied simply making pretty much all their jaws dropped.

"I need to talk to her I need to just do something she can't just be getting with the leaders of the ghoulies who knows what they would do to her" I said clearly frustrated and walked off to see if I could find her.

I asked kenzo where she was and he seemed suprised that I knew her but informed me she already left with her friends.

"She looked really angry when she left i'm not sure why though how do you even know her" kenzo asked being confused.

I explained and he looked so suprised. I've explained Betty before but he never put two and two together.

"She can't just be kissing the leader of the ghoulies kenzo" I said annoyed and he nodded.

"I know jug but I'm gonna be the one to tell her .you can't just walk in here after not seeing her for 5 years and tell her she can't kiss someone you left her remember so just let me speak to her" kenzo said clearly being annoyed with me so I let it go.

It sounds blunt just hearing him say that I left her like that but I didn't want to. We left after my mom went to go live in Toledo (jellybean doesn't exist in this story).

It was after her and my dad separated and they are still on okay terms and I go and see her occasionally but we simply couldn't afford a big house on the north side anymore.

My dad was a serpent by blood so it was natural for us to move there. They got us set up in a trailer and eventually we managed to buy a big house.

He's the serpent king and owns the bar which brings in a lot of money. I turned a serpent the day I could but I didn't want Betty to get wrapped up in this lifestyle.

I knew that moving to the other side of town was risky because she could see me but realistically she would never be in the south side and I wouldn't be in the north side.

If I told her I only moved to the south side she would've wanted to come visit me.

I couldn't have that risk on her. Being a serpent makes you a target to enemies but being loved by a serpent is worse.

If enemies know they can't attack you they will attack anything around you.

And I simply couldn't have betty in my life. I also didn't know if she'd accept it anyway.

I wanted her image of me to be what she loved.

I could've so easily reached out to her and I got people to check up on her to make sure she was okay. Not in a stalker way I just knew someone who went to her school.

It was horrible but it was what I needed to do. What I'll always need to do.

But I just don't think I can stay away from her. She looks so different.

She's drop dead gorgeous.

I walked away from jughead being so angry but inside I was heartbroken.

How can I just not see him for 5 years then he pulls up at some club that is my safe space.

I frantically searched for Cheryl and v and to my joy they were just at the bar.

"What's wrong Betts" Cheryl says with concern seeing my face.

"Can we go I just saw jughead" I said and they both looked shocked but nodded.

We got into Veronica's drivers car and I just sat in thought.

Every part of me wanted to talk to him but my heart just couldn't let me. I can't be that girl who lets a guy hurt me that bad then run into his arms.

The amount of pain he caused me is something I don't think I can ever forgive him for.

I want to cry but I won't let myself. Not infront of Veronica and Cheryl.

They've seen me cry, of course they have but I just don't think I can right now. I'm more angry then anything.

I know Veronica and Cheryl wanted to ask questions but both of them knew it wasn't the right time.

We got back to Veronica's house and although Veronica and Cheryl exchanged a few words I have said nothing.

They are clearly worried about me as they don't like it when I shut them out.

I don't really ever know how to talk about my emotions and although it's better with v and c I still struggle.

We all got into their pyjamas and got in Veronica's big bed both of them offering open arms for me to cuddle.

I let out a weak smile and got into bed with them where they both cuddled up to me.

I don't know what I would do without these girls to be honest.

"You know you can be upset b" Veronica smiled softly trying to get me to say something.

"I know but I'm not really sure what I feel I'm angry and sad and have so many questions I don't think I'll get to ask" I said.

They both nodded understanding and kissed my head as we all fell asleep together.
