Bughead : Lost in love

Chpt 25 : In His Arms I'm Safe Betty's POV

Jughead had asked me to meet him at his house. I figured he wanted to talk to me about why he came over and found me drunk. Being honest, I will say I'll drinking a little bit each day tying to escape reality. I also continued to add scars to my legs by harming myself. I was so unhappy and I had no idea how to help myself. Thankfully I had jughead to talk to.

I drove over to his house, still buzzed from the swig of alcohol I had previous to getting into the car. I was a little nervous to talk with jughead. I missed being a normal couple and going to Pops together or watching tv. Sadly my life was no longer normal and things had to change. Jughead however was my only support system and it's making us closer than ever.

I knocked on the door and reflected Jughead's smile when he opened the door. "Hey Juggie." I said excitedly walking into his trailer. "Hi betts." She said grabbing onto my shoulder. We moved onto his couch and both sat down. "So..," he said cutting the silence between us, "the other day when you were drunk? Want to talk or save it for later?" I needed to tell someone and Jughead was the only one who knew what I was going through.

It felt so nice to get stuff off my chest. "I just wanted to try and forget everything. I don't know, I just felt so lost in my thoughts and nothing else I do works. Cutting, crying, and now drinking. I just wanted to find something to help me escape." I said. Jughead sighed and and put his arm around my waist. "Maybe you could do therapy. It may help you out." He told me. Therapy didn't sound too bad, I just didn't want to have to ask my parents. They wouldn't support me most likely.

I looked over and jughead and responded, "I'd be open to it. I just don't wanna talk to my parents about it." He nodded his head with a sympathetic look on his face. "Well maybe I'll look into it for you." He said. I love jughead so much. He always helps me no matter what. "Thanks Juggie." I said nuzzling close to him. We fit eachother perfectly. "For now do you wanna watch a movie?" I asked him. I was dying to watch this new movie that was out.

     It was a Nancy Drew book made onto a movie. As a kid I always read detective books. I just wanted to have a normal night with jughead for once. Even though nothing anymore was normal. "Ya sure. Just promise me you wont drink anymore. It's dangerous for you and your kid." Jughead said. "I promise." I said back to Jughead even though I knew that promise would be broken. "What movie do you have in mind?" He asked me. "A Nancy drew movie. That new one that just came out. I've been waiting to watch it."

Jughead took off his jacket revealing his muscular arms peeking through his white tank top he always wears. He wrapped his arm around me as I put my legs on his lap. He rested his hand in my thigh and moved his thumb in circular motion as we sat together and watched the movie. Our bodies we curled up in eachother as we cuddled. I forgot about everything : the self harm, my parents, being raped, and even the baby. The only thing I could think about with Jughead. With him I was safe.
