Finding Paradise • Bughead

Seven Minutes In Heaven

Betty, Cheryl, and Archie are on their way to Thornhill. Apparently, Betty was oddly familiar with the house. She didn't want to engage Cheryl's and Archie's conversation, so she ignored it.

"So, welcome to Thornhill-" Cheryl stopped to look at Betty and she was in shock. "Oh gosh! What is that?" Cheryl pointed at Betty's bruise behind her neck.

"It's nothing, I just fell on the stairs." Betty said, Cheryl nodded and she linked hands with Archie. The party was going wild. Betty saw the same guy that she saw at Pop's with Cheryl.

"Hey Cheryl, who is that?" Betty pointed at the red-headed guy. "Oh, he's my brother Jason." Jason was dancing wildly with Jughead Jones.

"Your brother?" Betty asked shockingly. Cheryl nodded, and pulled Betty to them. "Hey Jason! I'd like to introduce Betty." Cheryl said. Jughead was awkwardly staring at them. "Nice to meet you Betty." They shook their hands.

Jughead quietly scoffed, "Look. I'm just gonna get some punch." Jughead was about to leave us when, "Don't you dare move, Forsythe." Cheryl smirked.

"Gather around party people!" Cheryl shouted. "Were going old school tonight, seven minutes in heaven." Jughead scoffed again.

"Betty, do you mind spinning the bottle?" Cheryl placed a bottle at the table, ready to spin. Betty sighed, and she span the bottle.

For Betty, it was like her world stopped for a minute. Including the bottle, the end pointed at Jason while the tip was pointed at Jughead.

Which means, Betty has to kiss Jason. While, Jughead is gonna go with Betty at the closet for seven minutes. (you know the point lol)

Jason stood up and they brushed their lips for a second. Betty gasped, she wasn't exactly ready for this. I mean, she wasn't even expecting Jason to be her first kiss.

Yes, that's right. Jason stole Betty's first kiss. After a few seconds, they pulled out gasping for air. Jughead immediately grasped Betty's wrist and they went to the closet.

"Jesus! You didn't have to do that." Betty was slightly massaging her wrist. "Sorry." Was all Jughead said. "Six minutes and forty-five seconds left." Jughead checked on his phone.

"Why? Are you being jealous that I kissed the one and only Jason Blossom?" Betty asked, smirking slightly. Jughead shook his head, Betty knew he was lying.

"Can we ask each other questions? I'm bored." Betty said while stroking Jughead's arm. Betty was playing the badgirl card right now.

"What's that bruise on your neck?" God, really? Was the bruise really obvious? Jughead saw Betty's frown when he asked the question.

"You don't have to answer the question." Jughead said, being concerned and all. Betty sighed, "I was abused. For 6 years." Betty whispered.

Betty felt slight tears on her cheek, she immediately wiped it away. "Why are you mean sometimes?" Betty asked, dodging her own question.

"I don't know. Maybe I just need better friends? A lot of people were telling me that I have changed this year." Betty nodded. "I just realized were two different people." Betty sighed, once more.

"Aren't we all different?" Jughead said, moving forward making Betty stumble slightly. "You do know opposites attract right?" Jughead continued.

Betty nodded, leaning to his face slightly. Suddenly, the timer rang. "Shit." Jughead mumbled. There was a knock on the door.

"You know, I only just met you." Betty said. "Maybe we should take baby steps." Betty smiled. Jughead nodded, "Oh, okay." Jughead smiled but turned into a frown immediately.

They stepped out of the closet, Betty took her purse at the sofa and left the party a few seconds later. "It's okay, man. You still got Veronica." Archie said, hanging his arms on Jughead's shoulders.

"She was just a rebound, Archie."
