Romeo And Juliet: Bughead Edition

Classic Coopers

Betty's POV
"Polly?" I say under my breath, too shocked for words.

"Hi, sis." She says waving. Her hand was on her stomach. She's pregnant! I run to her holding the tears back and hugging the life out of her. After we part I stare at her, wanting explanations for everything.

"You're..pre.."

"Pregnant? Yeah it's Jason's." I cover my mouth. 'Polly's pregnant with Jason's baby!'

"Have you talked to Jason at all? Has he asked about me?" She says, hope stirring in her eyes. I pause, everything stops. 'She doesn't know. Why doesn't she know? Did mom not tell her?'

"Polly where were you?" I say ignoring her questions. She looks down at her stomach.

"Mom put me in a nunnery, Betty. She couldn't accept me being pregnant with a Blossoms baby." Hope starts to stir in her eyes again. "So has Jason stoped by at all?"

How do I tell her he's dead. That someone killed him, shot between the eyes with a bullet and found in the river.

"P..olly..he's..d..ead." I say looking in her eyes, the hope vanishing into nothing.

Her eyes start to tear up and she puts her hands on her head. She starts to cry and I hold her. We sat there for about 30 minutes. She finally was able to speak.

"H..how?" She asks looking up to me. Her lip quivering as she seemed to calm down.

"Polly, he was shot in the head and found in the sweet water river."
'How could I say that, so..calm?'

"He..wa..s...shot?" She covers her mouth with her hand. My door clicks and someone walks in. My mom saw Polly and ran up to her. "What did you say to her?" She said, her words stinging.

"I..just," she looks at me with wide eyes, knowing what I told Polly. She took Polly and held her in her arms, leading her outside my room. She gives me a disapproving look before she closes the door. I sat on the floor for awhile, processing everything that just happened. What happened today. The world has truly gone mad.

The next morning~
I woke up on the floor. My head was pounding. Apparently taking so many things in, can do that. I slowly get up off of the ground and put my hand to my head. I walk over to my bed and sit on it. I take my phone that was on the nightstand next to my bed.

No notifications.

I head down stairs and see that everyone's at the table getting ready for breakfast. Classic Coopers, always pretending nothing happened. I walk over the the table and sit across from Polly. Her eyes were puffy and red. She looked at me and stared at me for awhile until I gave her a small smile.

Mom came in and set down breakfast. Everyone started to eat, without saying a word. I had to admit I was glad no one said anything. I enjoyed the silence. Maybe we could all start over. Then my mom made a comment. "I want to talk to you, alone after breakfast." She said, not making eye contact with me. We all knew who she was talking about.

"Mom you don't have to," Polly tried to say, but mom cut her off. "No, she needs to learn to keep things to herself."

"Like the rest of the family!" I say standing up, everyone staring at me. "I'm not going to sit around twiddling my thumbs and not do anything. I'm going to speak my mind and be my own voice." I start to walk towards the door until my mom said something. "Betty, I swear to god if you," that was it, I walked out of the house and ran to Archie's house, hoping that Jug would be there.
