Let Me Hold You Close

Revenge

Betty, Veronica, and Cheryl arrived at the Bijou. They had a plan. They were going to act like they were going to a movie without any intentions to drag Toni Topaz off the surface of the earth. Betty would catch Jugheads eye and act heartbroken. (she didnt really need to act on that part) Betty would run and exit to the bathroom and veronica would go after betty for emotional comfort. Cheryl would then Drag Jughead and Toni Topaz until they fessed up into secretly dating. Or being friends. With benefits. 

      "You ready B?" Veronica asked

      "Yes. I think so." Betty replied.

     "What's the snakes name? Toni Topaz? My brother had a better stripper name than that." Cheryl ranted.

      "Your brother?" Betty and Veronica said at the same time.

      "Being a drug dealer wasn't the only secret my brother had." Cheryl said.

They entered the theater and Betty instantly spotted Jughead and the snake. Although the 2 other boys that appeared in the picture were gone. It was just them. Anger filled Betty. She balled her fists. That should be her. Jughead and Snake looked very entraced with the movie. They didn't notice the girls walk in even with their loud talking, so Veronica decided to make a very loud fart noise. 

      Betty, now looking at Veronica did not notice Jughead looking at her until Cheryl said so. Betty glanced at Jughead, and then the snake. Tears filled her eyes. She didn't care about the plan. She just wanted to be with Jughead. She regained her thoughts and stormed out of the theater. Veronica went after her.

      "Wow Jughead Jones, you're real classy aren't you? My deceased grandpa has better shoes than that. and your hair looks more greasy than the over-buttered popcorn in front of you. You know Betty was really hurt when you cancelled on her. We had a hard time dragging her out of her room, let alone her house. She was actually feeling a little bit better that we were doing this for her." "Did you know Juggie had a girlfriend?" Cheryl asked Toni. Tall and a size 2. She hated her even more. 

Toni just looked down and batted her puppy dog eyes. What a bitch.

"Cheryl-" Jughead said.

"Don't even try, you greasy pierogi, Betty knows what your doing. She knows that shes just your sidechick thats hot and ready to fuck. Desperate times call for desperate measures right? And by the way Toni, My brother Jason saw everything that went down, or up for the gays, in the boys locker room of riverdale high. Jughead, lets just say your area on the list was in the five inch to seven inch range. The only boy lower than you was Dilton Doyle, and thats because he got into an accident with a woodchipper last year." "Anyways, good riddance, you peasants."

...

Betty was sitting in bed home alone. She couldn't process what was going on. Sure, Cheryl might have called Juggie some harsh names but that didn't make Betty feel any better. She was staring off into the distance when she heard a knocking on the window. No way. He didnt dare. He opened the window. Betty looked bad. She looked hurt. 

"Betty?"

She stared at him. He could tell she had been crying for a long time. Her eyes were red and puffy. 

"Please Betty say something"

"I don't have to tell you anything. Your the one who has explaining to do."

"She is just a friend Betty!"

"So you would rather have plans with just a friend rather than your girlfriend! Unbelieveable!"

"Betty we had those plans a long time ago!"

"And you couldn't tell me that until the last minute?"

"I honestly forgot Betty. You have to believe me!"

"Juggy I don't think I can do this." 

"What?"

"You go to a different school now. You said it wouldn't change anyting between us but look what's happening now. It is changing us."

"Betts-"

"Im sorry Jug. I need time to think. I dont know if im ready."

Silence was exchanged between them for a few seconds.

"Do you believe me?" Jughead asked.

"I dont know."

Their conversation was interrupted by a loud bang downstairs.
