Betty woke up, feeling emotionally drained and dragged herself into the living room where Jug was sitting waiting for her. "Hey baby, how are you feeling?" He said softly while closing the distance between them and she jumped into his arms. They stood there for a while in a tight embrace until he pulled away, carefully eyeing her up to try and figure out if she was okay. "Betts? Baby?" He asked when she hadn't replied. "I'll be okay. It just took me by surprise and sent me into a mini freak out" she said, looking up at him with her big green eyes. "That's totally okay betts, it's over now" he said, squeezing her tighter. "Sorry for taking me pills" she whispered, almost as if she was ashamed. "Hey" Jug said in a stern voice, holding her face in his hands. "Don't you dare apologise or feel embarrassed about taking your medication, it helps you and I know you don't like taking it but it's okay to ask for help sometimes okay? You don't need my permission to take it okay?" She nodded and then she leaned into his chest again and then yawned. "Are you still tired?" He asker her. She nodded. "Well come on then let's get you some more rest". He took her hand and took her back to her bedroom where they both got into her bed. She snuggled up against him, her head on his chest and his arms, protectively around her. "I love you Juggie" she whispered. " I love you too betts". It was silent for a while until Jug heard her quiet sniffs and he realised she was crying. "hey sunshine? Why are you crying?" He asked while moving them slightly into a sitting up position so he could get a better look at her. "I was so happy, I hadn't been that happy in a long time, so moving here was a huge step but it made me happy, you've made me so happy and I don't want her to ruin that but her turning up today made me feel like she's going to take everything away from me like she used to do" she cried again. "You make me happy too betts, I'm not going anywhere and she's not going to ruin or take anything away from you I promise you I'll make sure of it, don't worry about it she can't get to you now" he said, stroking her hair in a way to comfort her. She was silent again until he asked. "Are you okay gorgeous?". "Yeah, I am now, Thank you" he pulled her tight and she slowly slipped into a deep sleep, jughead following after her.
