Bughead : Lost in love

Chpt 42 : Don't Let Go Betty's POV

     I woke up next to Jughead on a comfortable bed instead of an overused hospital bed. His handsome face was facing me, but his cute as a button eyes were shut. I couldnt resist his lips, so I pulled him into a soft kiss. I was back from the hospital finally and I was living in his trailer with his dad. His dad understood everything and really cared about me and Jughead both.

     I kissed jughead over and over until he finally kissed me back. "Sorry for waking you up." I giggled. He just kinda mumbled something, still half asleep. I tried to be right against his back but my belly kept getting in the way. I hated being pregnant, especially this far along. There were some enjoyable things to the process, but I just hated how big my belly was getting. I was going to go to school today too, except I would be revealing my pregnancy.

     Jughead rolled over so that he was facing me. He opened his beautiful eyes and yawned. "What time is it?" He asked as he rubbed his eyes. "Time for you to get your ass up and ready for school." I said as I patted his chest. He just stretched his arms above his head. "You have school today too, YOU need to get up missy." He said as he finally sat up. "I'm pregnant." I said as an excuse. I still got out of bed, but I just wanted to annoy him. "Making excuses now?" He said as he hopped out of his sweat pants and slipped on his jeans.

I waddled over to the bathroom so that I could look at myself in the mirror while I put my hair up. As I was walking out to the bathroom from the bedroom, I noticed Fp wasn't in the trailer. He was probably getting us Pops. I got my hair up and a dabbed on some makeup so I didn't look like shit. I've been so exhausted after this whole incident, but thankfully I was able to go to school again. I went back I got the bedroom that Fp let us stay in while he slept on his couch.

I got into the bedroom and Jughead was in there sitting on his phone, so we both decided to head to school. Before we left though, Fp came back and we all ate some food. "Alright Betts, leads head out." Jughead said as he got up and grabbed his bag. "Alright." I said as I went to grab my backpack, but jughead grabbed it for me. "Bye dad." Jughead said as he re-adjusted the backpacks on his shoulders. "Bye kids." Fp said back to Jughead. Then we drove off to school.

I was really nervous to show everyone that I as pregnant, but I had not option. I still wore baggy clothes but now my bump was really obvious. Jughead noticed me being clammy and he gripped my shoulder before we got to far to the people at school. "You ok Betty?" He asked with a concerned look on his face. I nodded my head and looked forward as jughead kissed my face as we both walked into school.

We walked into the halls and immediately everyone stared at me and whispered. I just wanted to cry but I didn't want to add fuel to the toxic fire. I met all my friends in the lounge where we all hang out. "Hi Betty, we're so glad you're back!" Veronica squealed. I smiled and went over to hug her. "And I can see you're showing your bump." She said as she rubbed my belly. I just awkwardly smiled as people continued to stare at me. I looked over at Jughead and he instinctively wrapped an arm around my wide waist.

The day went on and it was time for science. I had science with Archie and we found each other after lunch. Jughead had class 15 minutes before my lunch ended so we didn't get to walk together but I got to go with Archie. "Hey Arch." I said. "Hey Betty. Uh I wanted to tell you something." He said as he scratched the back of his neck. "What is it?" I asked as I linked my arm though his muscular arm. We were both supper close so it was normal for us to link arms. "I just wanted to let you know that I'm here for you. You know, if there is anything you need to talk about." He explained. I smiled because I was happy that Archie was being a good friend. "Thanks Arch." I said. We both kept on walking to science.

Once we were close to class I realized I forgot my heavy textbook. "Shit Archie I left my textbook in my locker. Just go to class I'll meet you there." I said as I turned around. "Ok" I heard Archie shout back. I started walking through the halls towards my locker when I saw a ton of people staring directly at my locker. There was black paper on top of my blue locker and either red paint or blood dripping from the paper hanging on my locker. I was able to reach the vandalized locker before the crowds had flooded with curious people. Go to hell serpent slut. That was the horrible message that was written in 'paint' on my locker.

I just stood in front of the locker as tears threatened to fall from my eyes. No one understood me. I was raped but no one knew. It wasn't Jughead's baby but no one knew. I was abused at home and no one knew. No one knew the challenging battles I'm constantly fighting, no one understands just how much pain I'm going through and now someone, probably the arrogant monster Chuck Clayton, decided to come vandalize my locker and call me a slut. I felt so alone.

I stood in front of my locker, now crying. Jughead must have noticed crowds in front of my locker outside of his classroom because he left his class and was now swimming through the crowds of people taking photos and videos of me in front of my ruined locker. "Betty." Jughead said as he stood in front of my locker covering the hateful words. "Go away jug it's just some jerk." I screamed making him step back closer towards the locker.

I was frantically crying and I lunged toward the locker to get Jughead out the way. He tugged at my arm as I tried to get away from his grip. I eventually gave out tucked my face into his shoulder and cried as he started pushing us through the crowds towards the blue and gold office.

I was kneeling on the floor of the office sobbing. I was trembling and shaking and jughead was right next to me. He shook my shoulder and talked but I ignored him. I've never cried this more than this except the day I tried to kill myself. Finally I escaped my trance and could understand jughead. "Betty are you ok?" He sounded really concerned. I didn't respond, I just dug my quivering body into his chest.

It took me a solid 5 minutes before I could eventually calm myself down. "Betty are you okay?" Jughead repeated once I finally stopped crying. "No I'm not. I'm going through so much pain, SO MUCH PAIN, but no one cares. No one notices me. No one understands that I don't want to be pregnant but I took the kind way and didn't abort her. I never even wanted to be raped. TWICE! Or punched and end up hospitalized for a WEEK! Hell maybe everyone is right. Maybe I am a slut. I should just go to hell and do everyone a favor. I'll just stop burdening everyone!" I screamed. Jughead forcefully held onto my shoulders.

I sounded really depressed and I was. I wanted to die in that moment. "Betty don't ever say that. I notice you, I care about you. I know everything you've gone through. You're not a burden and you're certainly not a slut, so don't say this bullshit. Betty, you're so strong, you've gone through so much and you've never deserved any of this but please, don't let go. I need you. I need you to know you're not anything you say you are. You're fantastic. So don't let go. Don't say any of these things. Okay?" He said looking deeply into my tear stained eyes, but I didn't respond. "Okay?" He repeated. "Okay." I responded and pulled him into a tight hug.

I let out a small cry as I placed my chin onto of his shoulder. He knew exactly what to say. That's why I love him so fucking much. I don't deserve him. "Why don't we go home Betty. You've been through too much for one day." Jughead said. As he finally pulled out of the hug but left a hand on my back. "Let's go." I sniffed as we both headed out the school.
