"What happened here?" Sheriff Keller asked Archie.

"I don't know... Some serpent just came and beat him up!" Archie lied.

"No, Sheriff- That is not what happened!!" Betty defended me.

"Archie... he kissed me, so jughead pushed him. And then Archie, he punched him and hit him and kic-kick-" She burst into tears, not even finishing the sentence. Betty ran to the stretcher I was on and kissed me. She said it was all gonna be okay.

 I was only in the hospital for a day and a half. There wasn't anything major.... I just had faced some minor bleeding issues. Betty skipped school and stayed by my side the entire time. Now, this story has a lot of ups and downs. So many different plots, so if you can't keep up, I recommend to try harder. Because this story nearly has no ending. 

It was 3 days after I got released from the hospital. Archie was in jail until he got bailed out by his dad. As far as we know, he's grounded for 3 months. He had stopped talking to us at this point. Not even veronica, at times.

THE COOPERS

"Jug, we need to talk" Betty said, at the door. I was sitting on her bed, writing.... maybe even this story.

"Wh-what? Betty, usually when girls say that they're breaking up with them..." I said, with a worried look.

She had a huge smile on her face. "Jug! No, of course not."

"Well, then?" I asked her to continue.

"Juggy, we have to move out. get a place of our own. I can't keep living here. I need space, I need somewhere to raise our baby," I was shocked. Where are we supposed to move? We both don't have money.

"betty, how are we supposed to move? I'm broke..." 

"My mom said she'll pay the first year. We need to get jobs, as well, though," Pops, I thought. 

"Pops. We can work there. I'll go talk to Pop Tate. Bye, betts. I love you!" i ran out the door.

"Bye?" She was a bit confused.

Betty stayed at home, looking for apartments to move into. She wanted to move in as soon as possible, because she can't stand living at home any longer.

POPS

I arrived at pops on my motorcycle. My face was still messed up a little. Toni was there too, but she didn't see me till I was leaving.

I walked up to Pop.

"Hey, Pop!" I said

"Jones, how you doing? Anything I can help with?"

"Betty, cooper, and I need jobs... Any openings right now?" I said. He gave me a look.

"I have a few waiter and waitresses open... Want that?"

"Sure! Thanks, Pop" He nodded 

I walked towards the door and Toni saw me. She followed me out. "Jug! Hey," She yelled.

"I haven't seen you in forever!" She said, before I could respond.

"Yeah, I've just been really busy...." 

"With?" She asked me.

"Oh, uh Bet-" I started saying, but then I saw her.

"There's Betty! I gotta go, toni."

Betty started walking towards us. "Wait, Jones."  She said and grabbed by arm, turned me around, and kissed my lips. 

Little had I known that Betty saw us. I saw Betty run away to her car, crying.

"Toni! What the hell?" I yelled, with a scowel on my face.

"I.. I-" She began.

Before she finished I ran to my motorcycle and went to the one place I knew betty would go. Not Veronica's, not Archie's, not even her own house. 

She went to....
