The Life

deaths door

Betty's POV
I'm lying here in pain, than everything goes black. The next time I open my eyes I see hospital lights zoom past me. I realized I'm on a gurney and I remembered...I was shot. Than it goes black...again. 

*The next morning* 
Jughead's POV
I was up all night, I couldn't wait to see Betty the next morning. Seconds went by like like hours and I just sat like a kid on Christmas Eve waiting to open presents. Well eventually morning came and I sat in a booth at the diner waiting for Betty to come. She never did. Her shift was at 8 AM, and when two came around I started to get a little worried. My immediate thought was her motorcycle and how deadly it was but I tried to do what Betty said. So I didn't rush to conclusions instead I walked to the inn where Betty was staying and my heart broke in horror. 

Betty's keys laying on the floor next to a knife and a lot of blood. Crime scene tape was across her door and I didn't know where else she'd be, except the hospital. No cops were around which was weird but I grabbed her keys and rushed to her bike. I hesitated for a moment thinking that if I get on this bike it could be the last thing I ever did, but then I thought of Betty, what she said, her smile and I would risk my life a million times to see her again. So I rode...

I race into the hospital like a mad man, pushing everyone out of my way to get to the front desk. 

"Excuse me I'm here for Betty Cooper!" 

"I'm sorry we don't have anyone under that name." She said. 

"Elizabeth, her names Elizabeth." I responded stuttering. 

"Sir she's still in surgery we'll have an update for you as soon as possible." 

"What!" I mumble. 

"Jughead." Sheriff Mineta says.

"Mineta? What happened? Why is Betty in the hospital?" 

"She was shot, someone attacked her in her room last night and shot her, it looks like she interrupted a robbery." He says.

"What? Betty doesn't have much there's nothing for anyone to take besides it looked like someone was looking for something particular." 

"Well we're still investigating so don't go to the crime scene again." He says as he leaves. 

I sit there in silence for about an hour than I realize I should call my mom and tell her everything.
