Polar Opposites (A Bughead Story)

Chapter 2

Betty's POV: 6:06 AM 

"B-Betty... Why... What are you doing here..."

He stares at me I look down and  focus on the ground rather that in his beautiful blue green eyes.

"Betty. You look terrible.. please come inside.."

I walk inside the once familiar trailer and he shuts the door behind us. I sit on the couch and really  look at him. He looks great, healthy, not...broken like he used to be... like I am now. My eyes travel to his serpents jacket that hangs over his shoulder like a new part of him, he has no beanie, but I suppose that's because I just came and randomly woke him up..

"Hi Juggie..."

I say as I stare down at my feet on this couch in his small living room.

"Y-You're a serpent now huh..? W-When did that happen..?"

I try to force a smile, but end up looking fake.

"Betty.. what happened. Why are you here. Why are you so...involved all of a sudden. You and Archie left me and Veronica for 4 Months. And now you just magically re appear. You break up with me for Archie the day my father gets arrested. And leave, to never be found. Why are you here."

I break down and sob, feeling a sharp pain in my side grabbing it quickly. Jug looks at me with concern.

"I-I'm sorry Jug. I never meant to.. I-I j-just thought he loved me... he told me all these things about you... and then he took me and we left without a word after our breakup I'm so sorry I didn't mean for it to happen like th-"

I'm cut off by his strong forceful words.

"What's up with your side. I could care a less on your apology. What's wrong with your side Betts...?" 

My soul  lifts when he says my nickname, but I then shake my head saying it's not important. He then slowly walks over, my heart pounding, shaking my head, he lifts up the side of my shirt, exposing my bruises and cuts.

"I-I'ts nothing..."

I quickly tug my shirt down, and stare back at Jughead as he stands up in shock staring at me, anger and concern in his eyes.

"Well if you excuse me this doesn't look like FUCKING NOTHING BETTY."

I quickly bring my hands up shielding my face expecting a slap or a punch or a push. But instead am greeted by soft hands pulling my hands down, and a sigh from Jughead. 

"Did you really think I was going to hurt you Betts...?"

(Well you were wrong  don't EVER judge a book by its cover... sorry back to the story...)

I slowly nod and stare at him.

"W-Well you began to scream... and every time Archie yells he hits me, than apologizes afterwards, and kisses me..." 

Jughead stared at me anger burning inside of him. I could see in his eyes. I could feel his anger entering the living room. Tension building.

" you... you are telling me... that Archie did this to you.  That he hurt you... that he laid hands on you..."

I slowly shake my head. Wanting to protect Archie, knowing what Jughead could do to him being a serpent. I didn't mean to blurt it out... it just slipped out..

"Don't lie to me Betty. Don't protect him." 

I slowly nod and mumble 

"He did it... he kicked me... he hurt me..."

I begin sobbing. Not like I do alone. After I'm hit and then apologized too by  Archie doing something else I don't want either. I expect Jughead to walk out the door to find Archie, but I'm shocked when he puts his arms around me and holds me. Doesn't tell me to stop, or yell at me, or hurt me. He is gentle, and loving. He holds me while I sob and I soon fall asleep sitting up in his arms.

9:03 AM 

I wake up with a blanket around me laying on the once familiar couch to the smell of bacon. Something I hadn't smelled in a while after I went Vegan for Archie due to him saying I needed to eat less and that I was fat and ugly. I lock eyes with Jug and he turns to me. 

"Hey Juliet... you hungry? You seem... thin. Much thinner from when I held you in my arms last..." 

I feel heat rising to my cheeks and nod.

"Juggie... do... do you still. Love me? Even a little...?" 

I look at him as he flips the bacon and he stops dead in his tracks and begins walking over, taking my hands in his. 

"I always will Betts. If I didn't. If I didn't forgive you, you wouldn't be on my couch right now." 

I began to cry thinking of all the time she Archie said he loved me, and than turned around and said it was a mistake. But this, Jughead, he was genuine. Real...
