It was Polly. I haven't seen polly in such a long time. I just had a big smile on my face. 

"Well, I heard the news and I came to give you my advice. I could never do it on the phone!" She said, with a small voice. 

Betty was absolutely shocked. I saw it in her face. Before Polly left, Betty and her had a huge breakout. 

FLASHBACK

Betty had heard Polly and Alice arguing from downstairs, at around midnight on a Tuesday. She had gotten so mad at them that she marched downstairs and yelled at them to shut up. After all, betty was exhausted. Polly told Betty to shut up, go to hell, all that dumb shit. Betty ran up to her room, crying. She had said that she will be happy when Polly leaves. Betty rang me up, told me we needed to go to pops, and then hung up. We met at pops around 1 and she told me everything. it was horrific.

NOW

"Polly... I-I don't know what to say...." Betty was wrapped in my arms, tightly.

"Betts, I know you don't really want to see me right now, or ever, but I'll only be here for a couple hours," Polly stated.

Polly was at our  house for two hours, and then Betty and I headed to pops to meet up with Archie and Veronica.

POPS
"Betty! I haven't seen you in so long. Why haven't you been at school?" veronica was so damn excited, it scared me.

"Well, jughead and I have some news.... Jug?" She smiled as she leaned into me. She was playing with my hair, wrapping it around two fingers.

"Betty's pregnant!" I announced.

Veronica gasped, Archie just kinda sat there. He looked annoyed and mad. I don't know how to explain it very well. Let's just say it wasn't a good look.

"hey, betty? Can we talk outside for a minute?" Archie asked.

"Uhh sure," She replied.

They walked outside to the parking lot. Veronica and I didn't follow but we paid attention from the window.

OUTSIDE

"Arch, what's up?" She asked.

"Betty, what the hell did Jug do to you?" Archie yelled.

"What are you talking about? He did nothing...." Betty said, scarce.

"That bastard got you pregnant!" He yelled even louder. Veronica and I could hear him.

"No, Arc-" betty tried to say.

"If you chose me this wouldn't have happened! Give me another chance."

"Archie, no! Juggy and I are happy together and it will stay that way. There is nothing you can do about it!" betty tried walking away but archie grabbed her wrist and turned her around close to him.

That's when he did it. the only possible thing that could've pissed me off, aside from seeing Chuck. He kissed her.

That is when I had it. I ran out of Pops, pushed Archie backwards, and punched him in the face. Veronica followed me.

"Jug, stop!" Betty cried.

"Arch!" Veronica yelled from the door.

Archie punched me back and hit me onto the floor. He continued to punch me, while betty stood in Veronica's arms. She was barely looking, but she was bawling her eyes out.

I just laid there, like I was nothing. Like I was weak, useless. He continued to beat me up, until Betty stopped him. 

"Archie! No, stop!" She asked. "Archie, quit it! Now." She pulled him off me and kneeled down onto me.

"Jug, come on. Wake up. Jug!" She was crying.

"Look what you've done to him! Someone call an ambulance. Please! Anybody?" Betty said, looking at veronica.

veronica dialed 9-1-1 on her phone, which she was constantly on. The ambulance arrived about 12 minutes after we had called. 

And you would not believe what happened next....
