Betty's POV
Omg omg omg. I slowly looked up to see jughead smiling back at me. I can't believe this. This is actually happening. "Jughead?""That's me." He said laughing quietly.
"Omg!" I gasped. I immediately gave him a kiss. "I can't believe this is happening! I missed you!"
"I missed you too Betts."
"This is crazy!"
"I know." He said. I immediately gave him a hug. I missed it so so much. His warm embrace. "Hugging tight there huh Betts?" He asked chuckling.
"Oh I'm sorry Jug. Are you ok?" I Asked apologetically. I pulled out of the hug quickly nod looked at him concerned.
"Yeah yeah I'm ok. Just you hugged tighter than normal."
"I just missed you so so much. I'm so lucky to have you. Do you know that?"
"Yes baby. You tell me every day." He said chuckling. He called me baby. He never does that.
"You called me baby. You never do that." I Said.
"I know. Do you not like it? I was just trying something new but if you don't like it I can stop." He rambled. I chuckled.
"I love it babe." I said smiling.
"You're the most gorgeous amazing girl on earth."
"And you're the most handsome wonderful boy on earth." I mimicked. He rolled his eyes and smiled.
"So what happened while I was ya know." He asked.
"Well we were all worried sick. Especially me. I was scared of losing you. And never getting to hug or kiss you anymore. That would be so horrible because I just Love You so much and I need you. And no one was there to Calm me down like you and no one to hug me like you so I was just a complete and utter mess." I rambled. He held my face in his hands which stopped me.
"I'm here. I'm not leaving. So you can have all the hugs and kisses you want." He said. I giggled. I crawled into bed and he gave me a hug. Suddenly Archie and Veronica walked in and thy were shocked. V literally dropped her coffee. "Hi guys." Jug Said. V and Archie gasped.
"Jughead..." Archie said.
"Omg. You're awake." V said. She immediately rushed over and gave him the biggest hug.
"Woah. Nice to see you too Veronica." Jughead said startled. He wrapped his arms around her bone the less.
"I missed you Jughead. You're like my big brother. I was worried sick." She said crying. I knew she loved him. She always has. When we started dating in high school her and Jug became close and he protected her like he protected Jellybean.
"I missed you to Veronica. Did you hold up well while I was gone?" He asked.
"She was the strongest out of all of us." Archie said approaching the bed. I smiled.
"Thanks for sticking around guys." Jug Said and Veronica pulled out of the hug. Archie quickly swooped in and took his hug.
"Of course man. You're family." Archie said. Once archies hug was done I gave Jug a kiss.
"Betty did you sleep at all when I was gone?" He asked.
"Uh Yeah. I slept a couple hours last night." I Said.
"How many is a couple hours? Because you're always beautiful but it seems like you haven't slept in weeks."
"Uh maybe 4. I haven't been able to sleep lately." I replied. I looked in the closest mirror and realized how sleep deprived I really was. My bags looked miles deep, I looked as white as a ghost, my eyes looked on the verge of closing, my hair was a complete mess. "Omg." I Said.
"Here b. I brought a makeup bag." V said handing over a small Louis Vuitton makeup bag. I rolled my eyes but took it. I washed my face and did my makeup. I walked back out.
"Better?" I asked.
"You always look good betts." Jug Said. V just nodded. I rolled my eyes but smiled at Jug. "How are the kids? Do they know?" Jug Asked.
"No. I called your dad but he just said not to worry them and we'll tell them when they get back home in a few days."
"Ok. When do I get to go home?" He asked.
"I dont know." Then the doctor came in. He just told us about how Jug was doing and how great it was that he was up. And he said he can go home Tomorrow if everything looks alright. I was so excited to finally get home. "We can go home! Omg I'm so excited Juggie! I've been cooped up here for the past three days!" I squealed giving him a huge hug.
"Hold on a second. Did you leave this room at all?" He asked.
"Uhhh. I don't remember." I Said although I very clearly remembered.
"Nope. No she didn't." V said. I sighed.
"Elizabeth Jones!" Jug Said sternly which made me giggle.
"Sorry. I was worried sick about you. If you were in my position would you leave?" I Asked.
"No. Most likely not." He replied. I smiled and rested my head back on his chest. "I'm sorry Betts. And all of you guys. For putting you through such a rough time and scaring you."
"Hey. It's ok. It isn't even your fault. We're actually lucky. Very few people survived that plane crash." I Said while cupping his cheek. He smiled and gave me a kiss.
"We're so lucky to have you back man." Archie said.
"Yeah. We all missed you." V said. We all talked and laughed like old times. It was lots of fun. It brought me back to those Saturday afternoons in high school when we'd spend hours in a booth at Pops. It was a great day.
