Lost Boy

Novel

Betty's POV

Jug has been so much time on the novel that we barely spend time together. I hate to seem so jealous again after the whole Toni thing but I just wanted to spend as much time as possible together. I don't even know what the novel is about. A while ago I saw Jug typing away and I asked what it was about and tried looking but he closed the laptop. He said it wasn't the Jason blossom one, even though he's sill continuing it, and it's top secret. I just let it be but now I've had enough. "Jug why do you keep working on this novel and I'm not even allowed to know?" I Asked.

"Because, as I said its top secret." He Said with a smirk. I gave him a stern look and his smirk fell. He realized that this was serious. "I swear i will tell you one day betts. Just please don't worry." He Said standing up from the couch and walking towards me. I held my hands out and stopped him from getting closer.

"Why can't I know now?" I Asked.

"Because it's secret. I'm almost done and when I'm done I'll tell you." He sighed.

"Ok. Well can you at least spend more time with me? We rarely hang out because of your job and novel and the serpents." I Said. Jug wasn't part of the serpents but he still hangs out with them. He used to be but when he moved he kind of just dropped it, wanting to spend as much time as possible with Jellybean.

"I'm sorry Betty." He said giving me a hug. I sighed and relaxed into the hug.

"I'm sorry." I mumbled.

"For what?" He Asked.

"Being stupid."

"You are not stupid. Not even close. I understand why you'd feel this way. I promise the novel should be done by tonight."

"Tonight?!"

"Yep tonight."

"Ok. Now I'm excited."

"I hope you like it."

"I for sure will. I love all you writing,"

"Thanks Betts." He Said pulling away. He kissed my lips and smiled. I pulled away and grinned widely.

"Why don't we go to Pops? Then jelly will have some food waiting for her when she gets home from chemo." I suggested.

"That's why I love you." He Said kissing my temple. I smiled and went to go get my wallet. We then left the apartment and headed to Pops. We bumped into v on the way out.

"Oh hi V!" I exclaimed.

"Hey b. Where are you guys headed?" She Asked.

"Pops" jug answered.

"Oh me too! Why don't you guys ride in my car. Its a lot nicer." She Said.

"No we couldn't," I Said shaking my head.

"Nonsense. Get in the car." She stated. I sighed and got in with her and jug. I knew I'd never win this fight. Especially since V is involved. "Why are you guys headed out? Shouldn't you be solving some murder or cuddling or something?" She Asked with a smirk.

"Shouldn't you be shopping?" Jughead quipped. I giggled a bit. Veronica gave him a death stare before turning her attention towards me.

"Anyway. Your Lover boy needs to lay off. Speaking of shopping b, we need to go shopping for Christmas time." V Said.

"That sounds nice V." I Said with a smile. We talked the whole way to Pops. Once we got there we all ordered and sat in a booth waiting for our food to be ready. We chatted some more and once our food came out we headed back to the pembrooke. We parted ways. V was just getting some food for her and Archie once Archie is done with his extra football practice. When we got back to the apartment it was still empty so jug and I decided to eat our food.

"Mm. I really missed Pops while I was gone." Jug Said happily.

"I missed you when you were gone." I replied.

"I missed you a ton Betts. But I'm happy I'm back. We're lucky that jelly convinced my mom to let us go back." He said eating his French fries.

"Yeah. We are." I Said sipping my milkshake. We talked about random stuff and had fun. After a while we finished eating and the rest of the Jones family came back. We talked to them for a bit before we headed off to bed while they ate. Jug headed to his room and I followed. Once I got in his room I got ready for bed. I decided to stay the weekend. My mom didn't mind. Jug immediately plopped on the bed and worked on his novel. I sat beside him reading a book. I tried to steal some quick glances but jug wouldn't let me.

"No no no. It's a surprise love." He Said sternly.

"Ok!" I sighed in defeat and read my book. About half an hour later everyone had went to bed. It was just me and Jug awake. He had finally finished his novel.

"I'm done." He said placing his laptop in my lap.

"Really?" I Asked.

"Yep. Read." He said pointing to the laptop. I put my book down and began reading.

Betty Cooper. My childhood best friend. When Archie had broken her heart I was distraught. While he IS my childhood best friend and practically brother he had just broken the heart of my favorite person. Betty. But after he had done so I had a chance with her. And luckily she saw past my loner, weirdo outside and turned to love me like I have all these years. Her beauty, her grace, (miss United States jkjk) her kindness. Who couldn't love her...

The book continued on but I felt I read enough for the time being. I looked up and saw Jug smiling nervously. I shut the laptop and placed it on the end of the bed. I threw myself into his arms. I smiled so hard my cheeks hurt. Tears of happiness rolled down my cheeks. "Did you like it?" He Asked.

"No." I Said pulling away. He looked at me with confusion and fear.

"I loved it." I Said. He smiled and kissed my lips. "I love you." I Said once he pulled away. "Thank you." I added.

"You really love it?"

"Yes I do. Thank you so much."

"Anything for my love. I'm glad you liked it."

"It's amazing." I Said with a smile.
