Bughead :: Aftermath {Slow Updates!}

Age 8

This is more Bughead than Juliet

Betty POV

"Momma? When's daddy gonna be back?" Juliet questioned as we watched Jumanji. "Soon. Soon sweetie. Just be patient." I hope. I thought to myself. Before I picked Juliet up from school Jughead and I had gotten in a fight about me thinking he was cheating on me with Toni. I knew she had a girlfriend, but I'm sure she's bisexual. I had saw the two at pops on Saturday and I snapped out today (Monday). Jughead was angry that I would think that he would cheat on me with Toni. I yelled at him, and he left.

Flashback Third Person

"I'm going out Betts! I'll be back with Juliet." Jughead said to his wife who was upset. He kissed her forehead And was about to leave before Betty stopped him. "Where you going, Juggie?" Betty asked innocently. "Archie and I are helping his dad move some wood." Jughead said. They had Monday off, so they used it to catch up on other work and stuff like that. "Really? You sure you're not going on another date with that Topaz girl?" Betty questioned, not bothering to hide how pissed she was. "What?! Why the hell would you think I'd cheat on you Betty?" Jughead replied just as snarky. "Oh don't play dumb Forsythre! I saw you being all chummy with her on Saturday!!" She pushed. "We're just friends Elizabeth!! Toni was just telling me about her date with her GIRLFRIEND!!" Jughead argued. Betty was now fuming. She didn't know what came over her but she was jealous. "You know what? Maybe if you think I'm cheating on you so much I'll head over to Mr. Andrews construction site and you can mosey your way down to pops and all over Riverdale.. but your sure as hell not finding me with Toni. I'll get out of your hair Betty. I'll see you tonight or tomorrow. But I'll be back Betty. Why? Because I love you. And since you don't trust me enough to hang out with my co-worker, I'll just head over to Archie's." He fumed and stormed out the door. He got his motorcycle keys out, the ones that were part of his serpent roots, that he promised to dig up and toss away, and got his bike out of the garage, before inserting the key and revving away. Betty cried and went to pick Juliet up. Nothing was fine then. Just sad and depressing.

Flashback over

"Momma? Why are you crying? Are you okay?" Juliet asked. Betty didn't realize she was crying until Juliet pointed it out. She looked her daughter straight in the eyes and replied "Yeah. Mommy's fine. Just go upstairs and take a shower. I'll be up soon. Call me if something's wrong." Juliet hugged her mother before scurrying upstairs and taking a shower.

Betty cried and cried for a few minutes, that felt like hours. Why? Why did I have to act like a psychotic teenager mad at her boyfriend for kissing her sister when he didn't even cheat on me with Toni?? Of all people why me? He's probably never gonna come back and show up at our door in 5 years with another kid and and...     she thought before crying some more. If only she hadn't been so jealous and clingy and overbearing. Then the door slammed and Betty grabbed the fork she was using to stir her drink. (Yes. I said fork) and went to the front door where she saw none other than Jughead. "Juggie? Jughead I'm sorry for being so jealous and angry when I knew you didn't do anything I was just mad and and... I thought I lost you again and you were so angry an-" she started but was cut off by Jugheads lips on hers. She pulled away and he pulled her into a big hug. "It's okay Betty. I get it. I've been spending so much time with Toni and I'm sorry for that too." He whispered into her hair. He cupped her race and pulled her into a passionate kiss.
"I love you, Betts." "I love you too Jug." They smiles happy that they weren't fighting anymore. Then the water turned off. "Mom!! I forgot my towel!!" Juliet yelled. Jughead and Betty laughed before she went up to get their daughter a towel, and he went to the kitchen to make dinner.

Woopapapapapapap!!!! Age 8 donnneeee! Hope you enjoyed and I am aware that I put "fork to stir her drink" and Juliet took a shower before dinner. I'm just weird like that. Don't forget to vote and as always thanks for reading!!
