Jughead walked down the dimly lit street making his way over to Betty's house. He needed Betty, after what just previously happened to him he was in some need of love and comfort.
《Flashback》
He came back to the trailer to see his dad terribly drunk and before be could even fully get through the door he got a slap to the face and the words "You're late." Jug then nicely replied back, "I still have ten minutes before curfew."
"Dont give me that sort of attitude Jug!" His dad yelled. "Wha-what attitude?" He stumbled over his words with his cheek still hurting and sore from the hit. But he never got an answer from his dad instead another hit to the face. A cut right below his left eye dripped with blood. Adding emphasis to the dark circles underneath from the lack of sleep. After the little fight Jughead just stormed out of the trailer and went to find someone who would actually care about him...

Now he found himself outside Betty's house. It was close to midnight and was unsure if the blonde was still awake at this time but before he could even try and leave he realised he was already climbing the ladder that seems to permanently be by her window waiting for him. He knocked on the chilled glass. Hoping Betty would open it and let him in out of the cold.
The window opened revealing Betty in a cute pair if pyjama's adorned with panda bears. "Juggie? What are you doing here so late at night?" Betty whispered whilst letting him inside and closing the window once more. "I-um." He stumbled over his words trying to figure out what to say. "Can i stay here for tonight Betty. I don't want to go back home." He said sheepishly rubbing the back of his neck. "Of course Jughead. But why don't you want to go back home?" Betty asked. She was always full of questions that Jug never quite knew how to answer. He sat down on the bed and Betty did the same. "Its uhh. Its because of my dad." He started. "I came home and he was drunk. And he..."
"And he, what?"
"And he hit me. Twice."
"What!" Betty yelled but then becoming quieter as she remembered that her parents were asleep. "So that explains those cuts then huh." Jughead didn't say anything, he just shifted his weight trying to relieve the uncomfortableness of the conversation. But it didn't work. "Come on, lets get you cleaned up then we'll talk more about this ok?" She said rhetorically.
She quickly ran out the bedroom then returned back with a first aid kit. She got a bottle of disinfectant and put it on a cotton pad before dabbing it on the cut under his eye. He hissed in pain and Betty pulled away. "Sorry Jug, i know this is going to hurt but we have to get it disinfected first then it won't hurt as much." With the reassuring in Jughead's mind he said. "Sorry im just not used to being cared for like this."
"Juggie im here to take care of you. You know its alright to ask for help. It doesn't matter what time it is. I am always here to help you out." Betty said whilst putting away the medical supplies. Once they were put back in the bathroom she returned to sit next to Jughead like she did before.
"So about you're dad Jug. How long has he been doing this to you?"
"About two years or so." He said ashamed about the fact he never told anyone sooner. "Juggie, you can't be serious can you?" She asked but judging by Jughead's facial expression he was very serious. "Oh my God Jughead." She managed to say before crying slightly.
"Betty its ok. You don't have to cry. You're not the one with the shitty life." He said sadly. "Well i know one thing that can make you feel the smallest bit better at least she said smiling after wiping away her tears.
Before Jughead could even ask what he was being hugged by the beautiful Betty Cooper and he did something to make the moment even more magical. He kissed her warmly on her soft lips forgetting about his terrible home life. As for now all he wanted to do was stay like this forever.
