(I also kinda want to ask a question, I want to do a bit if a 'get to know the writer' type thing so ask me questions in the comments or in a private message, it would be much appreciated, but I mean, only if you have wanna haha! 😄)

     'Y/N <3 - Meet me @ Pops in 15??' The text message popped up in Jugheads phone, vibrating on the diners table and he picked it up, opening up his texts to message her back.
     'To Y/N <3 - Already here, so yeah, see you then.' He placed his phone back down on the table, and started to type away on his laptop. Fifteen minutes flew by, and the front doors entrance bell rang, signaling that costumers were coming in. Jughead looked up and first saw Y/N, his heart picking up at the sight of her, but then his gaze fell on Reggie who stood behind her, and he sighed.
     "Okay, I'll come pick you up later, okay babe?" Reggie asked, and Y/N nodded, turning and found Jughead. She smiled at him and started to walk towards the booth, but Reggie caught her wrist in his hand and he pulled her back, forcing her to look at him. Jughead stood from his seat, his fists balling at his sides as he watched Reggie lean in close, a hard look plastered over his face.
     "What the hell Reggie," Y/N mumbled under her breath, ripping her wrist from his grasp and rubbing it softly with her other hand.
     "Answer me when I ask you questions," he growled, and Y/N sunk a little bit, slowly nodding her head.
     "Okay..." she whispered, glancing over to Jughead for a split second, watching as his jaw clenched at how Reggie treated her.
     "I'll see you when you're done here with this loser, okay?" He asked, and again she nodded.
     "Yes, I'll see you then." she answered, and he stood up straight, getting out of her face. He smiled down at her and kissed her on the forehead, backing up slowly towards the door again. Before he exited, her looked at Jughead, glaring towards the raven haired boy before he made his leave. Y/N collected herself and made her way to the booth, but before she could sit down, Jughead wrapped his arms around the girl, to which he leaned into him.
     "You okay?" he asked, and Y/N nodded slowly, forcing a smile.
"Of course, why wouldn't I be?" she asked, and Jughead sighed, taking a seat.
"Reggie, he's kind of a major dick to you, you know? Like what he did just now-"
"Oh that?" Y/N interrupted, sitting down and shifting awkwardly in her seat. "That was nothing, really." she lied, giving a breathy laugh.
"That was not 'nothing' that was grade A douchebag, and I can't sit around and watch it happen." he said, and Y/N swallowed the lump in her throat. Ever since she got together with Reggie, she had mostly regretted it. She only did it to push down her feelings for Jughead, they were only best friends, and that was it.
"We're running low on groceries." she said quickly, trying to change the subject, and Jughead looked at her confused.
"What?" he asked, and Y/N pulled a pen out of her purse and got a napkin from a dispenser.
"In our apartment, we're running low on groceries so I'm probably going to go shopping, what do we need?" she asked, and Jughead glared at her, rolling his eyes. "What? We both love food, do you know how sad it will be when we run out of it?"
"You're changing the subject." he said grumpily, and she nodded.
"I am, to something more important. We need to eat Ju-" she started.
"Y/N this is serious! The way Reggie treats you is not okay! It's borderline-"
"Jughead." She whimpered, her voice cracking slightly. Jughead looked into her (y/e/c) eyes and saw they were tearing up, and realized maybe she was afraid to talk anymore about the subject. He reached across the table to take her hand in his and sighed.
"Put cheese, lettuce, tomato..." he started listing, and Y/N nodded, jotting down the items. "Beef patties, hamburger buns, onions..." Y/N looked up and smirked at him.
"Okay so things for burgers, anything else?" she asked, chuckling slightly. They made a list, ordering two burgers and they enjoyed the rest of their night, staying there laughing and eating until midnight.
     "I should probably call Reggie to take me home." Y/N yawned, and Jughead shook his head, offering his hand to help her out of her booth.
     "Why, we live together, I can just take you home." he said, but she shook her head.
     "Yeah, but you don't understand, he'll get mad-"
     "I'll deal with him." Jughead said, picking Y/Ns phone off the table and opening her messages.
"Jug, what are you doing?" She asked, her voice laced with concern as he tapped away on the screen. He handed the phone back to her, and she opened up her messages, clicking ok the most recent one.
     'To Reggie :) - Hey, its Jughead. Since Y/N and I live together I'm just going to take her home tonight.
     "Jughead, he's not going like-" before she could finish her sentence, Reggie burst through the front doors of the diner, and Y/N smiled as sweetly as she could. "Hey Reggie, I was just about to text-"
     "Save it, you're coming home with me, right now." He snarled, and Y/N looked back at Jughead, and then to Reggie again.
     "But I was just about to go home." she said somewhat timidly, and he shook his head grabbing her wrist.
     "Doesn't matter, you're coming with me and that's final." he said, pulling on her in an attempt to drag her to the entrance, but she tore away.
     "No Reggie, all of my stuff is at my house, so that's where I'm going as well." she argued, staring up straighter, a wave of confidence rushing through her. Jughead smiled at her proudly, seeing as his best friend stood up for herself, but Reggie wasn't as amused.
     "You know what Y/N, fine. Go back to that trashy trailer with your loser serpent there and just leave me the fuck alone." he spat, taking Y/N aback. "You really are trailer trash, a bitchy, dramatic, weak, timid piece of garbage, just like everyone thinks. I thought maybe I could change you, make you better than what you were because I thought you were cute, but damn was I wrong." Y/N felt as tears started to sting her eyes, and she walked forward a few steps, smacking Reggie clear across the face.
     "We're over, you asshat!" she yelled, tears now falling. She took a few steps back as Reggie recovered from the hit to his face, and it twisted into anger.
     "Why you-" he lunged forward towards the girl, but Jughead stepped in and pushed him away.
     "If you touch one more hair on her body, I swear to god." Jughead growled lowly, and Reggie just smirked down at him.
     "Oh look, Wednesday Addams is here rescue Y/N." Reggie mocked, snickering at Jugheads attempt to stop him from getting to her. "Move it now, or-"
     "Or else what? What are you going to do to me Reggie, you know if you touch a hair on me as well, you'll have all of the Southside Serpents knocking on your door, and let me tell you, they won't be nice." Jughead threatened.
     "Watch it Suicide Squad, you're treading on a fine line right about now." Reggie said, trying his best not to seem the least bit afraid to the raven haired boy.
     "No, you watch it Reggie. The serpents happen to like Y/N, and they won't be happy to hear that you've been a complete ass to her, and you know what happens to people who cross the serpents. So here are your options, you can leave Y/N alone and never speak to her again, or you can play an unwanted game of hide and seek with the serpents, ending in you being found and getting your ass kicked by a biker gang." Reggies jaw tightened, and he slowly turned around, making his way to the exit, stopping to flip the two of them off.
      "Juggie?" Y/N said, making Jughead turn around.
     "Don't listen to him, Y/N. He's just a dick who has to bag on others to make himself feel good, for whatever reason." He said, pulling her into a hug. "If it makes you feel any better, I think you're the sweetest, bravest, and most sarcastic person i know." He said, earning a giggle from her.
     "God I love you." she muttered, and then quickly pulled away.
     "What?" Jughead asked, trying to look into her face, but she hid it.
     "I-uh..." she lifted her head to look at him, using the last bit of her confidence to tell Jughead how she really felt. "I love you, Jughead Jones." She smiled sweetly at him, awaiting an answer but none came. He stared at her surprised and she quickly regretted everything, more tears now threatening to spill.
     "You two okay?" Pops asked, both teenagers turning to him.
     "Yeah, I was just leaving." she muttered, a tear falling down her face as she picked up the grocery list off the table and making her way to the door. Jughead snapped out of his trance and watched as she stormed out of the restaurant.
     "Y/N!" He called, but it was too late.

     "Y/N?" Jughead called, entering the trailer his dad and him once occupied until his dad was arrested, so Y/N moved in. He heard no response, but instead sniffling from the bathroom. He walked to the door and knocked lightly, seeing her purse and the lost on the floor in front of the door.
     "Go away," she called, and Jughead rolled his eyes, taking a risk and opening the door. He found her sitting on the side of the tub, her face streaked with tears.
     "Hey..." he said, walking towards her, but she stood up and tried to push past him, but to no avail.
     "Jughead please move, I need to go. I messed everything up and now I feel humiliated and awful! I'm moving out tomorrow and-"
     "Woah, woah, woah." Jughead said, grabbing her by the waist and forcing her to look up at him. "You can stop crying now, Y/N, I love you too." He said smiling, and she stared up at him in disbelief.
     "Y-you do?" She asked, and he nodded, causing her to smile as well, but it only lasted a few seconds before it fell again. "Wait, how do I know you're not just saying that to make me feel better?" she asked, and he chuckled, leaning down and pressing his lips to hers. He pulled apart slowly, looking admiringly down into her eyes and she had a soft smile plastered to her face.
     "Believe me now?" He asked, and she leaned up and kissed him back in response.
