Dark Paths (Bughead)

Chapter 25 part 3

Betty runs out the door and kisses him

Betty: I want you and I need you

Jughead: no you don't

Betty followed him and grabbed his shoulder

Betty: stop please you're the only one want Jughead , I love you so much and I can't do any of this without you

Jughead: everything's messed up and our child shouldn't be brought into the middle of it

Betty: our child deserves both of us and I won't loose you because of this

Jughead: I'm just a danger to you

Betty: please Jughead stay, I can't do this without you I just can't.  I need you with me because without you I'm a mess . Without you I can't control my stress and you help me. You comfort me when I feel alone and you protect me when I'm scared. I love you so much so stay for me and our baby because I'll never be able to do this without you

Jughead looked at Betty as tears glided down her face

Betty:please

Betty whisphered

Jughead: I need to be alone right  now

Betty: are you gonna come back?

Jughead: let me clear my head first then we'll talk more rational

Betty: okay I love you Jughead

Betty wiped her tears away  as Jughead only nodded and walked off back to his car driving off

Betty walked past Archie's house and went to her house

Veronica: Betty!

Betty: yeah?

Veronica: I'm sorry

Betty: it's not your fault Veronica

Veronica: everything's so complicated that I don't know what to do

Betty: I know...

Veronica: is Jughead gone for good?

Betty: I hope not he just said he needed time to clear his head

Veronica: I don't blame him

Betty: I feel bad for yelling at Archie  but it needed to be done cause if Archie can't deal with the fact that Jughead's the father then he doesn't need to be involved

Veronica: I understand

Betty: Do you think I was too hard on him? I did go off

Veronica: I think both guys need space

Betty: yeah...

Veronica: can I come back to your house I don't want be around Archie right now

Betty: of course

Betty walked with Veronica back into her house

Veronica: so what now?

Betty: well I'm exhausted and I'm getting a headache so can we just lay on my bed and talk after I get my pills

Veronica: yeah sure

Betty quickly went upstairs to take her pills as she laid on her bed

Betty: It's been a long day

Veronica: too long

Betty: do you think Jughead will come back?

Veronica: for your sake I hope so
