Lost Boy

Reggie Mantle, Savior

Jugheads POV
We explained everything Reggie did and they seemed shocked to say the least. "Wow really? I mean Reggie is my friend and all but I'd never imagine him doing that for you guys." Archie said.

"Yeah. Reggie mantle, savior. Hmm... weird." V Said.

"Yeah it is really weird." I Replied. I brought Betty closer to my side and wrapped my arm around her. I kissed the top of her head gently. "You ok love?" I asked her.

"Yeah. I'm fine Juggie. Stop worrying ok?" She Said cupping my cheek.

"Ok. I love you." I Said. Not a day has gone by since Betty first called me after I moved that I haven't told her that I loved her. I couldn't bare to be away from her and not remind her each and everyday I love her and how amazing she is.

"I love you too." She smiled.

"Ok we're still here!" Veronica said loudly. I rolled my eyes.

"I know that Veronica." I Said rubbing Betty's arm soothingly. Suddenly the bell rang. I groaned. "Ugh. Do we have to go to class?" I whined to Betty pulling her flush against my chest. I pulled her onto my lap. She hugged me back and giggled.

"Yes Juggie. Come on. We should get our seats claimed before someone else does." She Replied

"Fine, Love." I Said. I pulled away and she stood up. I stood up as well. We linked hands and headed to our next class. We sat down beside each other. Malachi sat two rows behind us. After our class we headed to lunch. Betty walked in the lunch line and told me to follow. "No no no. I have a little surprise for you." I Said smiling. She grinned widely at me and I chuckled.

"Really?" She Asked excitedly.

"Really. Now come on," I Said holding her hand. I led her through the lunch line. We got to the end and I spoke to the lunch lady. "Hi. Um I'm Jughead Jones. I left something in the back." I Said nervously.

"Oh yes! Beth told me about you. I'll bring it right up." The lady said smiling. She came back out with everything I had left here on a neat little tray. It was three burgers, large fries, a vanilla milkshake with two straws, and a rose.

"Thank you so much." I Said kindly. The lady nodded smiling. I grabbed the tray and walked off with Betty smiling like a goof.

"You didn't have to do this Juggie!" She said happily.

"Yes I did love. Now come on." I Said leading us to our table. The table was still empty so we sat down waiting for our friends. I looked at Betty sipping her milkshake happily. She turned to me and giggled. How can a human being be so adorable? I thought.

"What?" She Asked giggling.

"Oh nothing." I Said smiling.

"You want some?" She Asked. I chuckled and took the straw. I took a sip as she giggled. "Thanks baby for this." She smiled.

"Anything for my love." I smiled pulling her closer. I kissed her cheek and she giggled. I sat and admired her as she ate some French fries.

"What Juggie?" She Asked giggling.

"You are adorable." I Said. She smiled widely. I leaned in and kissed her softly. After I pulled away I stared into her beautiful blue eyes. I smirked and she blushed. Then, in came the gang.

"OMG BUGHEAD!" Kevin yelled. I groaned and turned to face them

"You guys are just too cute." Veronica said.

"Wow, bringing her pops. Good move." Archie said. They all sat down.

"Ok. We love you guys-

"But you seriously couldn't have waited a bit longer to not interrupt our moment?" I interrupted Betty.

"Jug! No need to be so harsh. But true." Betty said giggling. Everyone chuckled and smiled

"Ok ok! We'll try not to interrupt next time." Kevin said raising his hands in surrender. Betty giggled and leaned into me. I wrapped my arms around her shoulder and she smiled up and me. I looked down at her and raised my eyebrows goofily. She giggled and held a hand to my chest. I pulled her closer.

"Ok well. We were thinking, we could go to have a party. To celebrate you coming back." Veronica suggested taking a bite out of her salad.

"Veronica I've been back what, 2 weeks? I don't understand the need for a party now." I Said eating a French fry.

"Fine Fine. What about pops?" She Asked.

"Sure. Friday?" I asked. Everyone nodded and agreed. "Alright. Friday at 5." I Said. We all continued talking and laughing, having fun. Then Malachi came over. Ruining everything.

"Hello. I wanted to talk to Betty. Betty Cooper." He said smirking.

"No. You can talk to her here. In front of everyone." I Said. He rolled his eyes.

"Fine. Betty Cooper I was wondering if you'd like to go on a date. This Friday." He said smirking.

"What?!" I asked angrily. He pulled out a rose from behind his back and held it towards Betty.

"No. I have a boyfriend and you know this. Now leave us alone." She Said starting to turn back around. Malachi grabbed her arm and yanked her to face him. I immediately pulled her close to me.

"Keep your hands off of her!" I Yelled.

"Come on!" Malachi begged.

"She said leave her alone." Reggie Said approaching us. Malachi rolled his eyes but he still looked frightened.

"Just take my rose then." Malachi said to Betty.

"I already have one." She said holding up the rose I gave her. Malachi walked off. "Thanks Reggie." Betty said.

"Reggie mantle, savior." Veronica chimed in. We all laughed.

"Has a nice ring to it doesn't it?" Reggie said. We all laughed. "Anyway. I gotta go. If you need me just call out." He Said running back to his table. We all continued chatting but I could tell Betty wasn't really there.

"Betts you ok?" I asked.

"Yeah. Just Malachi won't stop bothering us. What if he does something much worse?" She Asked worried.

"I won't let anything happen. And neither will the others. Alright?" I Said nodding to the group. They all nodded. "Don't worry Alright love. I don't want you getting too stressed." I Said kissing her head. She sighed. Then the bell rang and we finished off the school day.
