I wake up with jughead's arms wrapped around me. I'm laying on his chest. It's still dark and jughead's sleeping, he looks so peaceful and Carm,I could watch him for hours knowing I'd be safe. I pick up my phone that's sitting on the couch next to me I try not to move as I didn't want to wake him up. I turn on the power button. The light is so bright that I close my eyes to adjust to it. The time is 1:55 am , I see I've gotten 2 missed calls and 3 text messages. It was my mum. Great. Not.
Mum📝 ------------------- Mum: Betty! Where are you! You were supposed to come home 15 minutes ago!
(11:15 pm)
Mum📝: betty if you don't come home right now your grounded for a whole week! (11:31 pm)
Mum📝: that's it, your grounded! I've called Archie and he said he doesn't know where you are. (12:04 am)
I hate how my mum is overprotective and doesn't like any of my friends except Archie. I type back.
Me 🎀: mum,I'm fine I am with Veronica. (1:56 am)
After I press send she is already typing furiously.
Mum📝: is that so Betty, because I called Veronica and she was with Archie. So tell me the truth! I swear if your with the Jones boy that's the last you will see him!
(1:56 am)
There was no way to get out. I start typing.
Me🎀: fine, I'm with Jughead. I'm helping him study for a big test he has tomorrow. (1:58 am)
Mum📝: come home right now before your grounded for 2 weeks! (1:58 am)
I get off jughead's chest slowly and get my bag. Before I went, I kissed him on the cheek and ran home.
I get to the front door and before I can even open it my mum opened it and demanded me to go to my room with her arms folded and a cross look on her fac like she's going to kill me. I run up the stairs to my room before she can say anything. I slam the door shut and slowly fall down it with my arms wrapped around my legs. How can my mum do this to me! Ground me for being happy, having freedom, being in love. She knocks on the door and I get away to sit on my bed.
"Betty, I'm disappointed in you," she says getting closer to her "as your punishment you're grounded for a week, no going out, no going to pops and absolutely no seeing jughead ever again do you hear me! "
I start begging because I can't live with Jughead "you can ground me for a month, please just let me see Jughead, please mum,I love him"
"Betty do you hear yourself ?!, his dad is a serpent and his wife left him. He is a bad influence and I don't want him around you and that's final!" she says grabbing my wrist and digging her nails in as I try to pull back from her grip.
"do you understand me! " she says and I start to tear up.

"y..es," I say covering my face with my other hand. She let's go of my wrist and I jerk my hand back and curl into a ball. The door slams behind me. I start digging my nails into my palm leaving blood dripping on the fresh white bed sheets.

Their only one person I need now and that's jughead. He would understand more an anyone what I'm going through.
I getting my phone out of my bag and ring him. He answers after a few rings.
"hey Betts, where are you?" "I'm home, my mum is extremely crossed with me and said I'm grounded for a week and worst of all, that I can never see you again," I say starting to cry more than I was. "please, I need you" "Betty I'm coming right now , see you in ten," he says hanging up. It's brought a small smile to face as my mum can't control me from calling him.
