Betty stared up at her bedroom ceiling trying to fall asleep but couldn't. Fear and anxiety arouse over  her about Jughead.  Costantly Betty has been losing her mind over him. wondering if he's hurt or lost or even okay. All she wanted to do was embrace him tightly and lay her head into his shoulder while he embraced her ever so lovingly and gently. Betty picked up her phone and the time read 2:45 am. Betty huffed and texted the boy with the crown benaie.

Betty:Juggie ik it's been only a few days since we last were 2 gether but I'm scared about u and I need 2 know u r ok! I can't take this silence for days okay! I need to feel closure from U so please answer me back! 

Betty sent the message and started crying again unsure   of how to handle her emotions till she heard her phone go off and she snatched it up  quickly to see the message

Jughead: I'm ok Bets just a little bruise won't kill me

Betty: where r u?

Jughead: pop's , I needed an escape from a job I have 2 do

Betty: can u come through my window? I need u

Jughead: I was gonna come but I thought u were sleeping

Betty:no I haven't been able to sleep

Jughead:I'll be there soon

Betty reads the message and sets it down

15 minutes later...

Jughead comes climbing up the ladder to Betty's window and quietly knocks   on the window.  Betty gets up and opens the window allowing Jughead to climb through and she grabs him tight letting out more tears and trembles

Jughead:what's wrong Bets?

Betty:Juggie I-I can't loose you

Jughead: your not going to loose me Betty

Betty: I can't stop worrying one day you'll be gone or dead

Jughead: the serpents wouldn't let that happen ,they're my family

Betty:then what's up with the bruise

Jughead:it's nothing

Betty: no it's something

Jughead: Betty I'm okay

Betty:no you're not Jug, your using the gang to drown out your pain and it's making you loose sight of what's infront of you

Jughead: I'm stuck in the Southside till my dad gets out of prison or my mom let's me go to live with her in Toledo

Betty:what about me?

Jughead: you'll always have here

Betty: do you not want me anymore?

Jughead: Betty we've talked about this

Betty:no! I'm sick of it ! I'm tired of feeling left in the dark and alone cause you're putting yourself in another place you can't leave!

Jughead: you're not alone okay you  have Veroncia,Archie, and your family all here for you , i don't have anything

Betty:Veronica and Archie are your friends to!

Jughead: my friends are on the Southside

Betty:wow, just wow after everything they've done for you! your just gonna push them away!

Jughead:Archie don't need me anyways

Betty: Jughead please don't push everyone out cause your in pain , let us help you through this together not alone

Jughead:it's for the best

Betty: are you just gonna let your pain keep escalating and push me out to! cause I have done nothing but love you and stick by you when you needed me but you can't do the same for me anymore?

Jughead: I'm protecting you, you can't see it or feel it but I am and you'll thank me later

Betty with tears dripping down her face backs away to her bed

Betty:how are you protecting me?

Jughead: I can't say

Betty: so you're just gonna keep secrets from me now? what happened to always being open with eachother ?

Jughead : I'm sorry I can't tell you now but eventually you'll understand

Betty: just go Jughead,  you've done nothing to help me but only hurt me! so just go and live your life cause obviously you've choose them over me and you won't admit it!

Jughead: hurt you? I've been spending my every free second with you because I love you and now your framing me for causing you pain? you don't even know what pain is!  You don't have it nearly as bad as i do! you have your family,friends,perfect grades, cheerleading and your just good at every thing! i have none of that so I don't think you understand my pain cause all you think about is yourself!

Jughead trying to hold a straight face

Betty: if you truly think that then just leave me like you have everyone else! Cause I don't wanna be the girlfriend who always gets left behind and the boyfriend only comes around when he wants to! so GO!

Jughead: I'm sorry

Betty: GO!

Jughead: I do love you Betty

Betty:GET OUT!

Betty clenches sinking her nails into her hands not stopping as she watches Jughead leave then slams her window shut going back to her bed to cry herself to sleep
