Lost Boy

Veronica's Birthday

Betty's POV
I finally ended my period and Jughead was so amazing about it. I appreciated everything he's done for me. He's an amazing boyfriend and an even better friend. I just love him so much. Good thing our anniversary is coming up. I can do something special to make up for it. But today was Friday and Veronica's birthday is today. "Happy birthday V!" I squealed approaching her in the halls.

"Thanks b!" She said giving me a hug.

"I can't wait for your party!" I exclaimed.

"Me too!" She said excited. We finished the school day and it went well Malachi has been suspended so I didn't have to deal with it. But peoples stares bothered me. It made me feel uncomfortable and embarrassed but Jughead made me feel better about it by making me laugh and cheering me up. Jug and I went home and got ready. He wore black jeans and a white t shirt. I wore a red dress with red heels.

"Woah!" Jug exclaimed looking at me.

"What?" I Asked giggling.

"It's just you look... wow." He sighed. I laughed and walked up to him. I gave him a kiss and told him to get ready to go. We left the house after saying bye to my mom. We had booked a club for V's party. We got to the party and it was pretty fun. I was dancing around with Juggie when someone caught my eye. I stopped dancing and turned to Jug. He stopped dancing and gave me a confused look."what's up?" He asked.

"Look." I Said. He turned around and saw Malachi, with his evil smirk. This immediately ruined my mood. This was my best friends birthday and of all days he had to show up now.

"It's ok. I'll just get someone to kick him out." He Said rubbing my arm. I nodded. I walked with him through the crowded bar to security. "Hi. There's a guy here that wasn't invited. He has brown hair, around 5'7..." Jug Said. I eventually stopped listening and scanned the bar for him. I saw him and i hit jugs arm. "Yes?" He asked.

"There. Over there. With that blonde girl." I Said nodding in his direction. Jughead nodded and told security. They went and got it taken care of. Even though he wasn't even in he building anymore I still felt scared and uncomfortable. I was in such a great mood and his presence ruined it.

"Are you ok love?" Jug asked. I shook my head as a few tears rolled down my face. He immediately pulled me into a hug and kissed the top of my head. "It's ok baby. Do you want to go home? Veronica probably wouldn't mind." He Said. I nodded into his chest. He walked us over to Veronica and he tapped on her shoulder.

"Oh hey. There you are." She Said.

"Yeah. Malachi was just here and Betty just isn't really in the mood anymore. We were thinking we should leave." Jughead Said.

"Yeah yeah totally. Do what you need to. I'll see you soon." V Said turning her attention towards me. She gave me a small smile and placed her hand on my arm comfortingly.

"Yeah. I'll see you soon V. Bye." I Said giving her a hug. She returned it and afterwards we left to go home. We got in the car and I sighed.

"It's ok Betts. You should just get to bed." Jug said resting a hand on my thigh.

"Can you stay the night?" I Asked.

"Of course. You know one day you could stay at my place." He suggested.

"Yeah. I'd love that." I Said with a small smile.

"How about tomorrow? I'm taking you on a date then you can just stay at my place after." He Said.

"Ok. That sounds nice Jug." I Said. He smiled and backed out of the parking lot and drove home. We got home and my mom was sitting eating pie at the kitchen table.

"Oh hi Elizabeth. Jughead. You're home early." My Mom Said turning her attention to us.

"Yeah. Just some stuff. I'm not really in the mood to explain if thats Alright. I'll talk to you in the morning." I said yawning.

"Alright. Get some rest."

"Oh is it ok if Jug stays the night?"

"Yes. That's alright. Just go to bed at a reasonable hour."

"Ok. We will. Love you."

"Love you too." She Said. Jug and I went upstairs. I got changed into his t shirt and some shorts. He went into bed shirtless with pajama pants on. We crawled underneath my girly, floral comforter and snuggled up together.

"We're going on a date tomorrow. Just by He way." Jug Said kissing my head. I smiled and kissed his cheek.

"Alright. Where?" I asked.

"You'll see." He Said. I giggled and quickly fell asleep.
