||| Narrator POV |||

Betty got to the lounge just before the bell rang and sat her self down of the comfiest couch awaiting the arrival of her best friends, her head still pounding. She felt the small hand of her best friend stroke her head as she walked by to sit on the next couch over, then she heard Archie come in as he said hello and kissed his girlfriend (Veronica). "How you feeling Betty?" V asked, but Betty, barley strong enough to lift her head of the armrest merely grunted a sound as though to say 'crappy'. But then Betty's spirits really lifted as the couch sunk and she felt the warm hands of the guy she loved wrap around her, Jughead leaned in and kissed her lips softly. "Are you feeling any better Betts?" he whispered in her ear and then Betty sat up and allowed her self to rest her head on her boyfriend's chest, "I'm fine now" he smiled at her. Then all of a sudden all the noise from the hall got increasingly louder, but it only seemed to do this in Betty's mind, because it grew louder and louder until her the pain in her head was unbearable and she started gasping for air. "Betty, Betty, Breath Betty, Betts breath please, in and out take it easy, Betty breath please" Jughead was over her, laying on the couch and Archie and Veronica were standing above them. Betty tried to take a deep breath and sit up, but she was pushed gently back down her boyfriend, "What happened" asked Betty quietly, still trying to recover from the pain in her head. "I think we should be asking you the same question," said Veronica nervously from aside them. "That's it Betty I'm not just taking you home, we are going to a doctor right now, you are not okay" said Jughead the most worried she had ever heard him "No, Juggie I'm fine" Archie then interrupted "No, Betty you're not, you need to go with Jughead right now" Jughead nodded at him as to say thanks. Betty sat back up and immediately regretted sitting up that quickly, as she stumbled straight back over and into Jughead's arms and he held her close "Where is the nearest emergency room?" Jug said "It's only a town over ill text you the address" Archie replied quickly "NO" Betty shouted, "You may be my boyfriend Jug, and I love you but you don't get to decide what I will and will not do!" and with that Betty shot up and immediately her hands went to her stomach, she swayed on the spot for a moment, then everything went fuzzy. Jughead caught her from behind and laid her in his arms "I need to get her to the hospital" Jug said holding his unconscious girlfriend, "Oh my god, Jug" Veronica said cautiously "I think there may be more than one reason Betty passed out" then Archie leaned down and began to lift Betty's shirt, but he was immediately stopped "Archie what the hell are you doing!" Jug said angrily "No, Jug look" Veronica said lifting her shirt as Jughead leaned over. They were met with the sight of Betty's ribs sticking out from her under her skin in a completely unnatural way "Oh my god" Said Jughead, his eyes going glossy "She's been starving herself... how did I not see this" tears started to fall "I know what this is" said Veronica, tears starting to swell in her eyes as well "The other week, Cheryl told Betty she was to fat to be a river vixen, so Betty must not have been eating to lose wait" she started to cry. "I'm going to kill her!" Jughead started, pulling his girlfriend closer to his chest "No Jug, you need to get Betty to a hospital right now this is bad" said Archie "We will sign us all out and meet you there, now go" called Veronica. And with that Jughead threw his and Betty's backpacks to Archie and scooped up his girlfriend, tears still filling his eyes, and as he ran towards his old truck with the girl he loves unconscious in his arms.
