Healing the pain with him

Part 19

Betty pov

I hide up in my room not really being sure when I was going to go down.

I don't regret anything I said last night but it was a very vulnerable thing for me to do. And I guess now I feel a little insecure and anxious about it all.

It's like hiding your demons for all of that time and telling those people all at once.

I'm glad I told them but I guess now I feel a little embarrassed for some reason. And I know I shouldn't but I do.

I get worried that I look like I'm seeking for attention when of course im not.

I stay consumed in my thoughts for a while until I hear a knock at my door.

I tell the person to come in expecting it to be veroncia or Cheryl but to my suprise it was sweet pea.

"Hiding up here so you don't have to talk to anyone?" Asked

"Guilty" I chuckle making him smile and sit down.

"I did this too you know, when I first met jug Toni and fangs I joined the serpents and ended up having a heart to heart talking about family stuff then I ran away in the night until they forced me to talk to them" he said

"I know you're feeling vulnerable and maybe a little scared but that's okay. I think with what you told us last night you'd be insane not too be scared you're strong Betty but no one's that strong. I know deep down even know you trust us all your scared of us leaving. Jug specifically, but we all aren't going anywhere it's all of us against everyone. We would all lose our minds if something happened to you Betty because you already mean so much to all of us. I've never met someone so like me when it comes to dealing with this kind of stuff and I'd lose my mind if anything happened to you so please let us in you aren't alone and never will be" sweet pea said and I smiled happily giving him the biggest hug.

He made me feel so much better and I couldn't be more grateful.

"Thank you" I said and he kissed my head.

I'm grateful to have guys in my life other then jughead that I can fully trust.

"You ready to face everyone" he asked and I nodded.

I go downstairs and everyone looks a little worried.

"I'm fine guys sorry I just got a little freaked out after last night" I explained and talked to them for a minute and they all relaxed understanding.

Veronica and Cheryl looked at me really worried and I reassured them I was okay giving them a cuddle.

No matter how many new friends we have I still need to spend time with my girls. We end up saying that tomorrow we'd have a girls day with Toni included.

Jughead pov

Betty spends some time with veroncia and Cheryl and I was waiting for the moment I could have my girl back.

"You know you really gave her trust issues when you left" sweet pea says to be out of no where.

"Jeez thanks man" I say sarcastically not really knowing why he wanted to bring that up.

"No jug I didn't mean it in a horrible way I just mean look after her okay. She's been through a lot and I know you're pissed that she talked to me and not you but she needs different people to help with different things. Just reassure her that you're not gonna leave her and I will literally murder you if you hurt her" he said seriously and I nodded.

He's always been someone to knock sense into me fangs or Toni even if it's not said in the nicest way.

They seem to have a sibling like relationship and it's very sweet when I'm not jealous.

After a while Betty came over to me and cuddled up in my lap looking up at me.

"Do you want to talk about earlier"I asked her with a gently voice playing with her hair a little.

"There's not a ton for me to say I guess I just got scared when it all came rushing back of what I had said and I felt vulnerable and anxious I'm sorry I talked to sweet pea and not you he just understands me In a different way please don't be mad" Betty said with tears springing in her eyes.

She must of heard me at some point saying I was jealous of her and sweet peas friendship. Now I felt like a asshole.

"No princess don't be sorry you can talk to whoever you want about this stuff whether it's me sweet pea, or just any of us I don't mind I just want you to talk to the people that you think can help okay, I trust you Betty I promise that" I told her and she smiled letting out a sigh or relief.

"Thank you juggie" she smiled and pecked my lips before cuddling back up to me and I wrapped the duvet around us.

"Have I told you how adorable you are" I smile at her.

"Maybe once or twice" she giggled making me chuckle.

I smile looking around me seeing Veronica on sweet peas lap. Cheryl and Toni are cuddling along with Kevin and fangs.

We were watching a movie and I smiled looking at Betty by the end of it seeing she was asleep.

We all didn't get tons of sleep last night and she woke up earlier then everyone so I can definitely see why she needed a nap.

I feel so protective over her but I wouldn't change it for anything in the world.

She's my world. I'd simply die for her as long as that meant I got to listen to her cute little giggle.

I don't care if I'm the serpent prince. I think having Betty in my life makes me more motivated.

Because I know there's not one thing I wouldn't do. If it meant I was fighting for Betty.
