The Guy From This Summer

Part-16

Betty's POV:
Juggie dropped me off at Thorn Hill. I went up to my room to see only Cheryl in there. "Where is Polly?" I asked. "She is staying in the guest room because of somethings." Cher stated I nodded and changed into my pjs. Cheryl and I just had a fun time doing facials, painting each others nails, watching movies, and just talking. It felt like Cher and I are best friends.

I woke up and went down stairs and went to the kitchen. "If it isn't the best friend steeler." Polly said. I just rolled my eyes and got cereal. "Listen to me when I talk to you!" She yelled. I took my food and sat down at the table. "Damn it Elizabeth I said listen to me!" She yelled then slapped me across the face. I got up and ran as far as I could.

I got to woods and sat down and cried. "Betty!" I heard a voice. "Betty please?!" I heard as it got closer it was a male. "Betty please I'm worried!" I heard it more distinctly it was Jughead. I ran the direction of his voice. I ran into something correction someone. "Betts. Babe thank god I found you." He said hugging me. "Why did you runaway?" He asked. "Juggie how did you know I ran away?" "Cheryl called and said you where missing." He said. I sobbed into his chest. "She called me a friend steeler, then yelled at me to listen to her, then slapped me." I said as I sobbed. "Who, babe?" I shook my head still barely believing it. "P-Polly." I said. He pulled me closer to him. "Come on we are gonna go back and don't talk to her. Okay?" I nodded.

When we got back we went straight to Cheryl and I's room. "Betty thank goodness you're ok! I was...wait what is that!?" Cheryl said looking at my cheek. "Why do you have a hand print on your cheek?" "Wait what she left a hand print!?" Juggie angrily. I reached up to feel it, but it was too sore. I jerked my hand away quickly. "That bitch where is she?!" He yelled. "Who?!" Cheryl yelled. "Polly." I whispered then fell to the ground and cried. "She went to Pop's with Josie. Come here Betty." Cheryl said hugging me. Then, Juggie ran out of the house.

Jughead's POV:
I ran to Pop's. "What is wrong with you?!" I yelled as I walked up to her in a booth with Josie. "What do you mean?" She ask innocently. "Don't play innocent. I know what you did to Betty." I said. "Oh please she deserves worse." Polly replied. "No if anything you would deserve worse, abusing your own family is messed up!" I yelled then walked out.

I walked back to Thorn Hill. I got up to Cheryl's room she was on her top bunk huddled into a ball. I guess Cheryl had to leave. "Betts can I come up?" I whispered. She nodded. I went up with her and wrapped my arms around her waist. "Betty!!!" We heard as the front door slammed shut. Betts got up and I got up with her and my arms still around her waist.

We got down stairs and there she was. "You bitch! You told him!" She said pointing at me, Betty was shaking in my arms. "She didn't have to you left a hand print and made her runaway!" I yelled back. Polly was about to say something. "Stop! You know I have let you and Chic push me around! I'm sick of it I can't wait till I move out because I will never come back!" Betts yelled and went back up to her room. I ran up after her.

"Betty is there anyway you can contact your parents?" I asked her. "I don't know Cheryl is the only one I can think of that could tell you." Betty said. "I'll be back." I told her I don't want to leave her here with Polly.

I walked to find Cheryl at Pop's with Ronni. "Cheryl how do I contact Betty's parents?" I said. "You have to write a letter, I'll mail it out for you." She said I nodded. "Wait why do you need to?" Ronni asked. "Polly abused Betty." I said. "Oh My God." We all got in the car and went back to Thorn Hill.

"Betty let me in this damn room!!" We heard Polly yell. "No!" I yelled back as I got up the stairs. "What?!" "I said NO!" I pushed past her and Betty let the three of us in.

When we walked in I hugged Betty. "I don't know what happened to her she used to be nice." Betty said. "You know I think it's Josie making her mean." I said. "Why would you think that?" Ronni asked. "Because Cheryl is a way nicer person than before." I stated. "And Polly would never hurt a fly let alone her sister. Even if she didn't like you she wouldn't do that. Until she meet Josie." Cheryl said as a mater-o-factly. "I'm so glad I am done with her." She finished. "I got to go I'll be back in about an hour. Will you be ok?" I asked Betty. She nodded and I kissed her bye.
