The Life

Wake me when September ends

6 months later
Jughead's POV
It's been 6 months since we got our new pup. We decided to name him Serpent. I finished my novel but I haven't told Betty yet. 

Betty's POV
I have a plan that I wanted to tell Jughead but I don't know how to bring it up. 

"Hey Betts." I here creeping from mine and Jughead's bedroom. 

"Hey. I need to ask you something." I mumble right when I walk through the doorway but stop realizing he is holding a stack of papers. 

"What's that?" I walked toward him grabbing the papers reading the front page 'Is It Love or War' dedicated to my beloved. 

"You finished it?! Oh my God!" I screamed. I throw my hands around his neck and his hands are around my waist. 

"Later today I have a meeting with a publisher and that will determine if my book can go in stores." He explains but my face drops. 

"How come you didn't tell me?" 

"I wanted it to be official and even now it's not yet, I wanted you to know." 

"Yeah, but I would've love to know" I say. 

"I'm sorry Betts your right." 

Later that day at the diner I was on break getting ready to close up when jughead walks in looking like he got hit by a bus, he throws his keys on the table and sits down. 

"I was rejected." He says pissed off. 

"What, what happened." 

"He said it's not something he wanted to publish." 

"Love, there is more than one publisher in Ohio and I promise you, if anyone can do it it's you." 

"What would I do without you?" He says. 

"Crash and burn." I reply. 

We giggle then kiss. 

"C'mon let's go home." He says grabbing my hand and walking me out the door.
