GUYS BUGHEAD IS ADORABLE THIS SEASON IM DYING

Jugheads P.O.V
My hands turned into fists as my mom walked in the trailer JB trailing behind
"Jughead, it's been a while"
"Yeah and who's fault is that" I said turning my head towards JB who instantly wrapped her arms around my waist. I smiled

"Hey Bean I missed you"
"I missed you too" she said I bent down to talk to her
"Hey why don't you go in my room, there's some music I know you would like that you can listen too, or there's even some comics you can read" JBs eyes widened and she took off in the direction of my room.  When she left mom said

"I didn't have a choice Jughead I..."
"You didn't have a choice? Really that's what your going with?" I turned to everyone
"Guys can I talk to you later?" Everyone nodded and left the minute the door closed I said
"You had a choice, you could have come back once you saw how bad it was getting and you could help me. I'm terrified mom, Dads in prison and he may stay there for a long time and there's nothing I can do about it." I felt tears trickling down my face

"I needed my mom, I still do but you didn't make the effort, you either ignored my calls or barley said a word and always made some excuse to leave. Why?"
"Jughead it's not you.."
"Then what is it?" I asked my fists getting tighter
"It's this town there's so many things about this town..."
"Oh I know believe me"
"So you understand why I had to leave?"
"No I'll never understand why you turned your back on family" I said
"That's why I'm here now, to make it right with you and your father" I chuckled
"Well good luck, we're lucky if he doesn't get a life sentence, your too late Mom the damage is done, I'm left to pick up the pieces as usual" I walked towards my room without turning back and slammed the door.

JB jumped from her spot on my bed with a comic book in hand
"Sorry" I said before sighing and sitting next to her
"Did you and Mom fight?" She asked
"Yeah a bit, we have different opinions on things Bean like why she didn't come back sooner"
"She told me Riverdale isn't safe anymore"
"No it's not but I needed her help, Dads in trouble bean and I don't know what I can do to help"
"Is Mom going to help?" She asked
"I hope so"
"Can I see him?" I smiled
"Yeah hopefully" I herd my phone go off so I took it out of my pocket and noticed it was a text from (Y/N)
Just wanted to check in and see if your alright text or call me when you get this message I smiled and texted back

Could have gone better, could have gone worse I'm with JB in my room right now and I'm not coming out anytime sooner
"Is that (Y/N)?" I turned to JB
"Yeah it is, I'm actually dating her now" JBs nose scrunched up
"Why?" I laughed
"Because I love her, when you get older and you hopefully find someone you'll understand"
"Do you love her more then me?" She asked nervously
"What?" I asked and hugged her
"No Your my favourite girl, no one could ever replace you"
"I love you Jughead"
"I love you too Bean"

I spent the rest of the day in my room with JB. We listened to music, we talked, and I showed her pictures on my laptop of everyone. Eventually there was a knock on my door, we both looked up and Mom was standing in the doorway
"Mom" I said
"Jughead, I've been thinking about what you said and your right, I didn't think about your safety or your father and I want us together again as a family, that's why I'm back" I sighed a few months ago I would be jumping for joy, this so what I wanted our family back together again. But what is our family? Dad in jail? Not trusting my own mother because she might leave at any time, things have changed

"Mom things are different now, how can I trust that you won't leave again?"
"You don't, but I'm here now and I want to help you and your father in whatever way I can" I nodded
"All right"
"Really?"
"If you say your here to help then I'll try to believe you" Mom nodded
"That's all I want, I'm gonna make us some supper we can can talk more then" I nodded and she closed the door
"Are you happy to have us back?" JB asked
"It's complicated right now Bean, let's jus enjoy the time we have together" she nodded and looked at my laptop once again. Things may be rocky with Mom right now but at least I have JB back and that right there is a dream come true.
