Healing the pain with him

Part 11

Betty pov

"Come on princess you have cheer tryouts" jughead said pulling me out his arms and I nodded feeling extremely nervous.

I was honestly doing it a lot for Toni as she said she wouldn't do it unless I did.

And I remember her saying she always wanted to be a cheerleader.

"You'll do great" jughead whispered making me shiver a bit.

I hated the affect he had on me but also loved it at the same time.

I go up to where everyone is and Veronica Cheryl and even Toni smile happily when they see me.

I think they all just expected me to not show up but here I am.

Cheryl started talking and there were about 20 girls when only 10 of them would make the squad.

I knew that Cheryl would give me a spot as long as I wasn't awful.

Cheryl performed a routine as we copied her and she watched how everyone did.

I was so proud of Cheryl for managing a whole cheerleading squad and I knew it meant a lot to her.

I managed to do it really well and hadn't lost my talent for cheerleading which I was really happy about.

I was even more excited when Toni made the team as I was so happy seeing how happy it made her.

I also hug v happily as even know we knew she'd get a spot it's still a big thing.

"I'm so glad you finally decided to do this" Cheryl said with a smile hugging me and in the end the 4 of us were just in a group hug.

Soon the boys came over and were dying to hug all of us and when I got to jughead he picked me up and spun me around making me giggle loudly.

"I'm proud of you" jug said looking at me and it felt so amazing to hear him say that.

"Thank you" I whispered softly looking at him for a few seconds before a cough snapped me out from looking at him.

"We were thinking we could go to pops to celebrate" sweet pea said smiling and I nodded.

"So you and jug huh" sweet pea smirked as we were a little behind the rest making me blush.

"I don't know what we are or what we'll ever be but I'm just so happy to have him back" I smiled at him.

"He talked about you a lot you know to the point when we asked who you were and he just said Betty our hearts dropped" sweet pea said making me sigh.

"I never realised how hard it was on him because I always just assumed he didn't really care but I've forgiven him now and I want to be part of his world of all your worlds we just met but I feel like you guys are just a part of us and I think your all what me Veronica and Cheryl need" I said honestly making him smile.

"I don't care if I get hurt but I swear if anything ever happened to Veronica Cheryl or Kevin I will go insane I can't let anything happen to them" I sighed.

"I promise Betts nothing will happen okay we all already feel so protective of all of you and we will all do absolutely anything for you. Your good in my book cooper because you're already looking out for everyone especially Toni" he smiled.

"I don't know how to explain it but she needs someone. It's always just been us and her and although she loves us she's always longed for a girl to be friends with. It seems like her and Cheryl are hitting it of really well and that's amazing for her but I can tell she absolutely adores you and wants you as a friend" sweet pea said making my heart melt.

"So don't think I haven't noticed your little glances at v" I teased as it was only fair.

"Yeah I don't know I'm trying to figure it out. I'm not rushing anything because I need her friendship more then I do a relationship but I can definitely see it going somewhere" sweet pea smiled and I nodded.

"Just know if you ever hurt her I'd kill you" I say casually as a joke but inside I'm not even sure id it's a joke.

He put his hands up in surrender and I giggled catching up to everyone else.

Jughead was talking with Cheryl and Veronica and it really made my heart happy seeing them get along.

I think they are both will always hate what jughead did but they knew it was time to let go.

If I had the courage to let go they knew that it was time for them to aswell.

I took the opportunity to talk to fangs and Toni and ended up giggling so much as they were both so funny.

We soon arrived at pops and I sat next to the window with Veronica on the middle and Cheryl on the end with Toni as the 3 boys sat opposite and I was facing jughead.

I usually try and sit by the window so people like reggie can't come sit next to me.

We ordered some food and someone was walking over making me tense up.

It was Archie.

Everyone saw that I was tense and immediately glared at Archie and told him to go away which they actually sounded really scary doing.

"Guys I already have v,cheryl and Kevin being protective over me I don't need you guys to be to" I giggled and sipped my milkshake.

"Well we are all friends now and we always protect our friends so if any of you are ever upset about something of course we are going to make it better" fangs smiled making me so happy.

It's nice to have people genuinely care.

And for a while it was just the 7 of us. Friends who met less then a week ago but felt like family already.

And 2 groups slowly started to merge into one. And everyone couldn't be happier.

"Jughead absolutely not" I argued when it was time to pay and he wanted to pay for mine.

"Oops didn't mean to do that" he said jokingly as he swiped his card then we went outside for a minute with me pouting.

"Don't pout princess" he chuckled and kissed my forehead making me giggle.

"Betty cooper you might just be the cutest thing I've ever layed my eyes on" jughead smiled making me go a even deeper shade of red.

We both looked into each others eyes and I found ourselves leaning in.

Then my lips tangled in his and for some reason it felt so right.

I never wanted to get out of this moment.
