🦄Betty's Point Of View ~

The next morning I found myself on Cheryl's couch. I threw my head back realising that it wasn't a dream and my boyfriend was in fact a gang member and someone broke into our home. Wait. Boyfriend? Ex boyfriend? I don't even know any more.

I got here pretty late and didn't have the time to explain to Cheryl what was going on and I don't think I'm going to tell her.

I checked my phone and I had five texts from Jughead and three missed calls. I opened the texts and took a deep breath.

Jughead😍❤️
Are you okay?

Jughead😍❤️
Just please tell me you are safe

Jughead😍❤️
Would be nice to know your not dead!

Jughead😍❤️
Betty please answer me?

Jughead😍❤️
Just text me and let me know your safe please!!!!

I felt the same sadness I felt last night wash over me and my head spun.

Me
I'm safe

I texted him back the most bluntest reply ever and checked very few minutes to see if he replied to it. But he didn't. Like he didn't come and get me last night.

That's when Cheryl's voices started to echo in my head and then I realised that she was speaking to me.

"I'm guessing this has something to do with your boyfriend?" Cheryl said apologetically.

"I don't even know whether he's my boyfriend any more?" I winced feeling the tears swell up and tried to swallow the lump in my throat but it was for nothing because my eyes brimmed with tears and then exploded.

"What happened B, that boy was whipped on you I could tell" Cheryl whispered stroking my hair and hugging me.

"Fundamental differences I guess" I sobbed.

"No, you love each other, fundamental differences mean squat and your a mess with out him" Cheryl sighed, tough love was her way of picking me back up and to be honest it kind of works.

"I've only knew him two months!" I argued.
"I'm sure I'll get over it" .

"And in that two months, correct me if I'm wrong you have had the best adventures of your life haven't you?" She said cupping my cheek.

"Don't remind me please"

"Exactly, so I'm going to let you stay here on the condition that you phone lover boy and sort it out" Cheryl argued.

"I will later" I sighed.

"No now" Cheryl said handing me my phone.

I unlocked it and went to call Jugheads number.
It rang and rang and rang and rang, but there was no answer.

"Omg he hates me!" I wailed.

"He's probably showering." Cheryl replied.

"Or he could be in bed with some scruff" I said building up scenarios in my head. That's when I was distracted by my ringing phone.

"Have you got a new girlfriend" I said answering it and not even saying hello.

"Less than 16 hours after you've left, of course I have surprised you haven't got a new boyfriend blondie" He snarked.

"Jughead, what's going on with us?" I replied and I felt nervous, I felt his nerves through the phone which only made me more nervous, so we just stood there in a nervous silence.
