Jughead's POV:

My heart dropped when I saw Betty fall to the ground as she took the bullet.

It wasn't meant for her...

But she took it anyways.

"Damn it." I heard Archie say under his breath.

"I didn't know you were suppose to kill the person you love."

"Well I'm killing the person I hate next."

Archie picked up his gun to take a shot at me and I dodged it before running away.

"Get the fuck away from me Archie!"

"Not until you're dead!"

I shot towards Archie and missed but I kept on running.

I ran as far as I could until I reached for a place to hide.

A coffee shop was nearby and I walked inside, putting away the gun in my jacket I was wearing.

I saw some newspapers sitting by so I got one and pretended to be a regular person drinking some coffee.

"Sir, could I get you anything?"

I looked at the windows and saw Archie walk by the place, still looking for me.

"A life?"

"Excuse me?"

"I mean coffee...bitter coffee." I got up and ran out of the place, leaving the waiter confused.

I hurried back to Betty as fast as I could.

I picked her up and ran to the hospital since it wasn't that far away.

Seeing Betty like this made me think I did something wrong.

I wanted to take that bullet for her...

It wasn't meant for her to take it for me...

Or was it?

I rushed through the doors of the hospital and screamed for help.

Doctors immediately came rushing out and they took Betty.

I tried going with her but they pushed me away.

"Sir, you're going to have to wait." The doctor told me as she pointed to the waiting room.

***

I was sitting in the waiting room, wondering if Betty was gonna live or not.

"Jughead?" Veronica sat down next to me and placed her purse down beside her.

"Hey Veronica." I didn't look up to make eye contact.

She put a hand on my shoulder, trying to comfort me.

I'm not gonna lie, but I was crying.

It was all Archie's fault!

I wish I could....

Kill him.

But I'm not a killer like him.

But if I ever was...

He would be the first I'd kill for sure.
