A Bughead Story

Home Yet Again

Betty's POV
We finally got home after the whole thing. It was only two days but it felt way too long. I still haven't talked to Jughead and I don't really plan on it. But he is going to come home at some point. At the moment I'm at home with Bubba. Our family dog. I'm watching high school musical. Suddenly the dot swung open and there stood Jughead Jones. My Romeo, my Prince Charming, my savior, my best friend, my soulmate. Or so I thought. I rolled my eyes.

"What do you want?" I asked.

"I just came to say I'm sorry. And I love you. She kissed me I swear!" He begged.

"Your kiss lasted too long! You didn't even pull away quick! You pull away quicker when I've kissed you when you didn't want it! And she threatened me. Did you know that?!" I screamed.

"No. No I didn't. But I did pull away!" He argued.

"Jughead. Your kiss lasted five seconds. It takes three for your mind to register the kiss." I Said.

"Betty please. I didn't kiss her! I don't like her! She wouldn't let go of me! I tried but she just kept holding onto my face!"

"Prove it." I Said. He walked up and sat on the couch.

"See. Nail marks. Because I kept trying to pull away but she dug her nails in." He said pointing to his neck and face.

"Ok. I believe you." I sighed.

"Thank you! I love you. And you only." He said smiling.

"I love you too juggie." I replied. He scooted closer to me and wrapped me in his arms."

"So she threatened you?" He asked.

"Yeah. It's fine. Really." I Said sighing as a tear rolled down my face.

"Betty. Are you ok?" He asked concerned.

"No. I'm not." I cried. He hugged me tighter and kissed my head.

"Shhh. It's ok. I love you." He said.

"I love you too."

"Just talk to me. It'll make you feel better."

"Ok. Well she said that I need to stay away from you and that she knew you longer. Which I've always been insecure about because she has known you longer. And even though we got married and have kids I'm always afraid you're going to leave me because she knows you better and she's known you longer. She hurt me too. She put her weight ok my leg which hurt so bad Jug. I was so scared. And nervous. That you'd leave me for her." I cried.

"Betts maybe I've known her for a year longer than you but I love you. And no one knows me better than you. We are best friends and soulmates. Nothing could ever tear us apart. Plus we have kids and are married. I don't get why I'd leave you." He said hugging me. I sighed as I cuddled closer to him.

"What happens with Toni now. Will she still work with you?" I asked. If you're wondering Toni helps with publicity on his books.

"I don't know. I'll probably fire her. I can find a new publicity specialist pretty quickly."

"Ok Juggie." I Said.

The next day jughead came home and said that he had fired Toni and already found a new publicist.

"Really Betty you have to meet her. She's great! She's so nice and sweet. And she's really smart! She works hard too, and is a strong determined person. She's amazing. She's the best publicist ever." Jug said excitedly.

"That's nice Jug." I said irritated. I was in the middle of cooking dinner.

"What is your problem Betty?! Why are you just always jealous?!" He yelled.

"Please stop screaming at me." I Said crying. Tears were rolling down my face. I turned off the stove and looked at him. He was furious.

"Betty why are you jealous?! Are you insecure?!" He yelled.

"Please stop screaming at me." Just then the door swung open and standing there as Veronica and Archie. I sighed. Veronica ran to me and enveloped me in a hug.

"B what's wrong?" She Asked.

"She's acting like she's the victim when she's not." Jug Said irritated. I just cried harder. I sobbed into Veronica's shoulder. "Omg Betty. Stop the act." He said. I started having a panic attack. I couldn't breathe. I fell to the floor. I started hyperventilating.

"Look what you did! You made her cry and have a fricking panic attack! You're a horrible husband man! Do you really think this is an act?!" Archie yelled. Veronica was trying to calm me down.

"Don't tell me you believe this." Jug said rolling his eyes. I can't breathe. My lungs feel like they aren't working.

"B please breathe." V said.

"I. Can't." I Said.

"Betty it's ok. Calm down ok?" Archie said.

"Get. Him. Out. Of. Here." I Said. Archie stood up and pushed him out.

"This is my house!" Jug Yelled.

"Get out! You're making it worse," Jug finally left and it felt like a weight was lifted. I still couldn't breathe though.

"B please. Breathe." V said. I started getting dizzy and fainted.

I woke up on my couch with Veronica and Archie by my side. The memories came back and my eyes filled with tears. "B. Tell us what happened." She said calmly.

"Jughead. He found a new publicist and all he talked about was how amazing she was. And how I need to meet her. He wouldn't stop yelling at me. It scared me," I cried.

"Betty I'm sorry. He's just being dumb right now ok." Archie said.

"He's not coming back. I know jughead. He's not even sorry." I Said.

"Of course he will." V said.

"Not this time. He's really angry." I sighed.

"He's just dumb. He has no right to be angry. And it's ok. He loves you. He'll come to his senses." Archie said. I sighed and he gave me a hug. "You're my best friend. I won't let anyone hurt you. I love you." Archie said. It was ok for him to say I love you because we're best friends so it's just like a love you not like omg you're my soulmate I love you

"I love you too Archie. Thanks for all of that." I Said.

"No problem." He said.
