Dark Paths (Bughead)

Chapter 16

The next day
BettyPOV: Going back to the hospital today I didn't feel as sad as I did yesterday. Turns out getting out and feeling the fresh air really does enhance the mood. For once I didn't think about Jughead but actually more so myself and it felt really good. But today I wanted to go back and be with jughead. As much as my patience weakens I don't want to throw in the towel yet. I know Jughead is still in there somewhere.

I walk into Jughead's room seeing the same sight and do the same things I've been doing. Kissing him on the forehead once and holding his hand in mine. I pray to god to let Jugjead live and always tell him how much I love him till hopefully some point he wakes up and reciprocates it back. Looking back at Jughead memoires flood through my mind , back to the times when we were little

Memory  #1

7 year olds Betty Cooper and Jughead Jones  were in Betty's backyard sitting in a huge oak tree. Sitting high up in the tree and looking  out at a birds eye view. 

Betty: Juggie?

Jughead: yeah

Younger Jughead looked at younger Betty still wearing his crown beanie and  Betty wearing her signature pony tail

Betty: don't you wish we could fly?

Jughead: but humans can't fly

Betty: they can fly airplanes

Jughead: yeah but you need a license for that

Betty: I know but wouldn't it cool if we could fly like birds out of this tree and soar through the sky

Jughead: I'd rather live on land and not in the sky

Betty giggled at Jughead's sarcasm

Betty: well what do you wish  we could do?

Jughead: have super powers and fight bad guys

Betty: like bat man?

Jughead: yeah but I'd rather have telekinesis so I can steal burgers when no one else is around and not get caught

Betty: I would like to have teleportation so I can go where I want ,when I want

Jughead: like pop's at 1 am?

Jughead smiled

Betty: yeah I always ask my mom but she says it's too late and I should be asleep but if I had the power I wouldn't need her to drive me there but then where would I get money?

Jughead: her purse?

Betty: stealing is wrong Jughead!

Jughead: I like to refer to it as borrowing

Betty: well I'm not doing that

Jughead: do you ever do anything bad?

Betty: I ate a gold fish off the floor  after 5 seconds once

Jughead: everyone does that !

Betty: oh, then I'm not sure cause my mom says doing something wrong is bad
