I'm Better With You {Bughead}

•I Just Cant•

{Jughead}

If theres one thing that I'm scared of, its truth. Its terrifying. Think of  your future, some people don't want to think about it because they don't want to know the truth. Thats how I am, truth is a scary thing that holds the unknown. To sum it all up, think of a deep, dark ocean. That resembles your future. Now, think of you jumping into the ocean filled with things that you didn't even know exist. Your basically jumping into the unknown. The truth.

I'm running. That much I know, I couldn't tell betty, in least not this way. Not now.

But, those thoughts came to an end once I was slammed into a locker.

"What the hell!" Why did i just say that. And who the hell is this dude. He looks like a sack of potatoes. Or maybe even a walrus. What the hel-

"Your the weird kid who cuts aren't you?" Oh. No. No no.

"You smell like dog shit" Wow, Jughead. What the fuck, thats all you can think of.

If I guessed correctly, my words seemed to edge Mr. potato sack on because all he did in reply was push me further into the locker. My head was hurting now, that much was simple to point out.

"Don't dodge the fucking question. Now, answer my fucking question before I snap you leg in half."

"I find it hard to believe that your going to be capable of snapping my leg in half." Why do i do this to myself

"Thats it!" Here it comes.

Before I could get another remark in, Mr. potato sack man had connected his right fist into the side of my face. Its not like i didn't see it coming, I have a tendency of pissing people off. I am a Jones after all.

"Answer. The. Damn. Question." I can't get out of it now. shit.

"No, I'm not, and I have no clue why you would think that" Lie.

" Oh, really, well then I don't think that you would mind showing everyone you wrist. That is, if you don't slit your wrists." Mr. potato sack said with a nasty, unperfected smirk I must say, plastered on his face. I can't let them see. I can't do it. I just can't. But it didn't seem like I had a choice, because he had started to move my sleeve to reveal my darkest secrets. This is only half of them.

And this was the moment. My secrets are being revealed to half of the school, I've never felt so vulnerable in my life.

"See, just what i thought, your fucking worthless, you don't belong here." And he was spiting the words of venom in my face, he started pushing further into the locker. then I felt an immense amount of pain rush through my arm, I looked down only to see him pushing hard into my cuts, I wanted to cry, but I knew i couldn't. I didn't have any more tears to cry.

All i could do was close my eyes, and wish everyone away.

"Reggie, get the hell of of him you dick!" Reggie huh?

Reggie had moved away just enough for me to slip past him.

"What the hell do you want Cooper, you here to protect your prince charming" He had started to walk closer to her.

"Well guess what, he's a worthless, no good piece of trash, just let me handle him" He continued to snap at her.

Can I punch him? Why the hell not. I had started to walk behind Reggie, I got close enough just to be able to push him right into the side of his face, the dead silence cause everyone to be able to hear the sickening crack of fist to jaw. But  found it amusing.

The next thing I knew, everyone had scattered due to the sound of the bell ringing for first period.

Then I heard her voice.

"Why didn't you tell me Jug" Well the answer to that is simple.

"Because I couldn't tell you Betty" I could hear her sigh, due to my response.

"Are you ok though" What kind of fucking question is that? Of course I'm not ok. I've used the sentence, 'I'm fine' way to much.

"No, Betty, of course I'm not ok, I was just humiliated in front of the whole school in case you haven't noticed, is that what you wanted to hear"

"Why would I want to hear that" She said with tears in her eyes. I immediately became guilty, but I didn't know why.

And this time, she was the one who walked away from me.
