Betty's POV

I wake up. It's dark and isolated. I don't know where I am. I sit up on my knees looking around. I start to hear an engine and then I realise I was in a van. I start to panic. I question why I'm here and start to bang on the side pleading for help and then I realise the pain coming from my wrist.

Then I hear a very familiar voice that could only be Jughead. "calm down" he says in a low tone. I try searching were the voice Cam from and say "where am I!!??" I get up and see a small window and go up to it. "I'm taking you to the hospital betty. Do you still have that cloth over your arm your gonna need it" he says. Now I can see him driving and he doesn't turn around. "jughead why are you doing this!  I don't want to go to the doctor!" I say crying. "BETTY I have to, its the only way you'll live," he says still not looking around. "since when did you give a damn about me! " I say.  He finally turns around and says "because I couldn't live without you" his words made me enraged but there was no point arguing I felt exhausted.

"were here," he says opening up the van. I hop out and its cold. He grabs the cloth. He gives it to me to put on my cut wrist. I put it on and walk in. I feel kind of embarrassed because I mean I did this to myself and if I tell them I tried to commit suicide they'll book me in some young help group or something. I walk behind Jughead up to the nurses counter. "hey I would like to book a doctor for betty cooper as soon as you can" he says. "OK please wait he'll only be a minuet," the nurse says and goes back to filing papers.

I sit there trying to find an excuse. I was cooking accidentally cut my self. No ones gonna believe that. I fell on glass and it just happened to cut on my wrist. "betty cooper" the doctor says looking up from his clipboard. I stand up and decide to use the glass excuse.

We walk into his room he says "Betty  what's the matter with you" I replied with " my arm,  I fell on some broken glass and its cut my wrist" I say showing him.  "interesting" he says like he doesn't believe my excuse. "well we need this stitched up now, so I'll take you where it should not be any longer than 20 mins" he says with I smile showing me out of the room.

I get in the room and they stitch it up. It hurt a little bit less than when I was cutting it. I get out and see jughead waiting in the waiting room he stands up and the doctor comes out to say who much it is and jughead kindly offers to pay. "thank you jughead" I say in the nicest tone I've said in a while. " no problem betty " he says getting out his wallet and paying.

We walk out of the hospital in silence. "betty, I'm sorry for locking you in the back. This time you can sit in the front with me just as long as you don't attack me OK " he says with a giggle. "sure thing " I say with a smile
. I listened to the music on the radio and looked out the window. We didn't talk the way back. He drove to the front of my house. Jughead almost seems uninterested in me I decide to break the silence with "thanks for everything, paying for it being kind even though it wasn't great at the Start". "I would do anything for you," he says. I see him getting closer and our lip connect for a few seconds.they sweet, soft and comforting. I open up the door and start to get up "thanks for driving me home. See you tomorrow 8 at pops? " I say standing at the door "sure see ye," he says driving off and I go walk up the stairs to my house.
