Friends With Benefits

Betty's POV:

Everything went pitch black after I took the bullet.

I was in too much pain to try to even open my eyes.

(A day later )

Jughead's POV:

I opened my eyes and saw Betty still laying in the hospital bed like she was on the ground when she was shot.

I walked over to her and placed my hand on her cheek.

"Stay with me Juliet."

I placed a light kiss on her forehead.

I heard footsteps come into the room then stop once they saw Betty and I. "You okay?"

I looked back at Veronica. "I don't know. My girlfriend got shot and look where we are! I'm okay Veronica."

"Jughead, I'm sorry...all I'm trying to do is hel-"

"Well you're not helping!"

Veronica stepped back and I saw a tear run down her face. "I'll be back once you control your issues..."

"Veronica..."

She walked out of the room, while wiping the tears that came down from her eyes.

Veronica's POV:

I understand that Jughead is Betty's boyfriend and all, but it still gives him no right to not let me help him.

My own fucking best friend!

Betty is my best friend to and I want to be there to help her as well.

But Jughead clearly doesn't see my point of view...

Betty's POV:

I opened my eyes and it didn't hurt that much to do it.

But once I tried to sit up...

That was a different story.

I looked around me and saw I was in a hospital bed.

I saw Jughead about to walk into the room with Sarah?

I closed my eyes and pretend to still be asleep so I could eavesdrop.

"You and Betty are in trouble. You have to escape Archie." Both of them walked into the room.

"I know...are you still part of his plan?"

"God no! I ship Bughead and always have...I'm done with Archie."

"About time." Jughead joked.

"Protect Betty and yourself. Find a place to hide so you guys can live a happy life."

"But our acting-"

"Fuck acting right now Jug! Both of your lives are in danger. Exhibit A." I heard her say and she pointed to me.

Jughead let out a sigh. "I'll figure something out."

"Yeah, I would hope so." She said before leaving the room.

Oh shit he's coming towards me!

Sleep Betty sleep!

"Juggie?"

You thought I was gonna sleep!

Jughead looked over at me and immediately ran over to me. "Betts?"

"No it's the wall."

He laughed and then came over to place his lips on mine.

"Thank god you're still here. I don't know what I would've done if you were gone."

I placed my hand on his cheek and gave him a smile.

"I love you."

"I love you more."

"Not possible."

He chuckled and I gave him another kiss.

He kissed me once more and his hand went up my thigh.

When I tried to get up, I couldn't because I was still hurting.

"Ow!"

"What's wrong?"

I pointed to my injury and he nodded. "When you heal, we'll continue."

I giggled before giving him a smirk.

"Okay Jones."
