Jugheads POV
I looked over to see Betty sitting on the table with her hands gripping the edge tightly her eyes where shut and she was breathing heavily.
"Betts, Hun what's happening" I asked putting a hand on her arm, rubbing it up and down
"I just need a minuet" she starts to breath at a normal pace, lifting her head to meet mine I stare making sure she's okay, her health she was getting weaker and weaker as time passed, she would say someone in her head is telling her no so she listens and doesn't eat, I will make sure that she eats something, at this point anything will do, today was water, apple, rice cakes and a few fries from pops, her body was tiny, I would run my fingers over her and could feel her ribs and back bones, I knew she needed real help and as much as she didn't want it I had to convince her, i was going round her house after school like I usually do and was texting her on the way, she stayed at home as she could hardly move, she had no energy, I stopped at the local to pick up her favourite snacks and drinks, she wanted a movie night.
I walked through her main door, knowing her parents where out of town and polly was with them, being pregnant and all.
"Betts" I called
"I bed jug" I heard her light voice, I took off my shoes and jacket leaving my school bag, I walked into her room, she wasn't looking to good but I have seen her worse, she sits up for me with open arms and I run and jump a little making her screech,
I laugh at her noice and hug her tight breathing in her scent, I pulled back a little to see her face and kissed her lightly but with lust, I pulled away but she lent in again and kissed harder now knowing we where both in the mood, it turned into a make out session nothing more, I finally pulled away, both breathless I could see colour in her cheeks which hadn't happened in awhile, she smiled a pure smile I haven't seen either.
"Why are you so giddy today" I ask then kissing her cheek
"Because I have news" she smiled once again kissing my cheek and forehead then nose. I scrunched my nose up and looked at he confused
"Good news?" I answered doubtfully
"Yes you goon" she hugged her arms around my neck
"Proceed darling" I say I'm my poshest voice she giggles and leads me to her kitchen, I have an extremely confused look on my face as she holds my hand dragging me to the bin she opens, "look" I look at her weirdly like she's a crazy person "please Jones, just look" I slowly walk closer looking in I saw wrappers of crisps, candy and fruit snacks, I turn and look at her lift her shirt a little to see her stomach, she put on weight and she did it by herself (if only everyone was like that)
I was so happy, I looked at her dead in the eye picked her up and kissed her.
"How long" I ask wondering how long she's been actually eating
"4 days" she smiles at me, I hug her again, putting my head in the crock of her neck and shoulder.
"I love you" I say
"I love you too jonesy"
Ever since that day 3 months ago, Betty was on a better track, jughead always watching her and checking her stomach every so often and giving her as much love and support as she wanted, she was grateful without him she wouldn't be alive, she only eat to see the look on his face when she told him or to see how happy he was when she went just bellow the average weight, they where each others rocks but that was Betty with jughead, hows it going to be for jughead about Betty?
