Arrange Marriage (Bughead)

Chapter 37

BETTY

I looked up at the man that I thought loved me. The one I thought wouldn't hurt me. The one who actually cared for me. But I was wrong. The more he talked the more my heart broke. At the end of the day it's always me.

"Was any of it real." I say tears falling down my eyes. I heard him say it to my father but I needed him to say it in my face.

His hand raised up to mine. I didn't want him to touch me he doesn't get to touch me knowing that he used me. I moved my head to the side but his hand still made its way to my cheek.

The feeling of his palm on my cheek wasn't the same as before. I used to enjoy the feeling of his hand on me but now, I hate it.

He shook his head. Ouch.

"I tried telling you. You weren't just what I wanted. I'm sorry if I made you believe it was real." His words pained me.

I wanted to kick him, punch him in the face and tell him to fuck off for using me, for playing with my feelings. I tried getting away from Archie's grip but he had a strong grip on me.

I shouldn't have believed him he's just like Archie a liar and a manipular. I blinked my tears away, my tears aren't worth the pain he did to me.

He turned to look at my father after giving the news I needed to know if were true. "Actually his sister."

I knew my father was a monster but killing his sister, Jughead's mother. An innocent woman who had an evil brother had to die because of money.

"She was the perfect daughter to them!" The words rolled out my father's mouth. The word perfect was easier said than shown. That's what my parents wanted a "perfect" family.

"If you do she won't forgive you." Father said looking at me.

"Like I care, she was just a side piece. I will admit the sex was good but it didn't mean anything." My heart shattered

'It didn't mean anything' the words rolled through my head. I thought I had heard the end of it.

"Good it will be easier to kill her." Father took his gun out pointed it towards me. If this is the way I was going to die then so be it.

The next moment went fast. I ended up in the ground with my hands over my ears and eyes closed. The last thing I saw was Archie being tackled to the ground by Sweet pea and Jughead shooting at my father.

I jumped at each shot that was fired. I stayed there closing my ears. I felt someone's presence but I didn't open my eyes to see. I heard a door open and people walking in.

I jumped as I felts hand on me. "Betty hey it's okay. It me Toni your fine." She whispered only then I opened my eyes seeing Toni.

I looked at my surroundings seeing Sweet pea over Archie as he struggled to get up. Fangs beside Toni and my father's legs on the ground. I knew Jughead was still here, beside Toni looking down at me but I didn't dare to look up at him.

"Hey cmon I'll get you out of here. Yeah." Toni whispered at me. Only then I pulled my hands away from my ear and nodded.

She helped me get up as we started making our way out. I kept my face down as we walked towards the exit. I felt his eyes on my back but I couldn't look at him. He hurt me deeply that I can't even look at him.

When we made it out the house I finally had the courage to ask. I needed to know if she knew to. "Did you know."

"What." Toni said stoping in front of a car.

"Did you know Jughead was using me." This time I faced her.

Silence.

"Betty you have to listen to me." The only words that told me the truth.
