Bughead : Lost in love

Chpt 58 : Please Be Fine Jughead's POV

I slammed my phone onto the desk making a crashing noice which brought attention to my direction. Betty just texted me about how her dad captured her and now she needed to turn off her GPS. I was pissed. I wanted to get out of school to start looking for her but I knew it would be too dangerous alone. I would have to round up the serpent gang immediately after school. I texted my dad to come pick me up from school right after so me and the serpents could start looking for Betty. My dad would definitely be a big help on our lookout for her.

     I sat in class tapping my foot on the floor over and over again. "Why are you tapping your foot." Toni said gripping my knees which stopped me from tapping my foot. Once I stopped she moved her hand and allowed me to talk. "Betty. She got kidnapped by her dad, we need to get her out, but we need more than two people." I whispered o Toni. "Holy shit. Well good thing class is almost over. We'll motor the second we get out." Toni said reassuringly. I nervously waited for the end of class to come. As each second went by I kept thinking of all the things that could be happening to Betty.

     In the middle of class my dad called me so I used the bathroom excuse to step outside. "Jug who will watch Kylie when we go look for Betty." My dad asked into the phone. "I texted Veronica Archie and Kevin. They'll all watch her." I said. I already texted everyone who would be involved in the plan. I meticulously layed everything out so I would be sure to find her. Her last tracked spot on the GPS was headed straight to the forest surrounding sweet water river. There we would likely be able to find Betty. "Alright Jug. I'll meet you after school. We're taking the bikes though." My dad said before hanging up. I sat restless in my chair until I heard the bell ring.

     I shot out of my seats and dragged Toni out the front door. So much was going through my head. For all I know the love of my life could be dead. Or she could be getting tortured this very second. Toni and I gathered all the serpents outside including my dad who had Kylie ready to give to Kevin. "I'm here." Kevin said adjusting the strap to his little bag and picking up Kylie who was inside her carrier. "Thanks Kevin." I said putting a hand on his shoulder. Once Kevin left it was just Sweat Pea, Fangs, Cheryl, Toni and my dad. "Alright guys. We need to head to the forest surrounding Sweat water river. Particularly Fox forest. Well group up on bikes." I directed towards the gang.

     The Cherry red Jacket paired up with Toni on her girlfriends bike while Fangs and Sweat Pea drove together on Fang's bike. Me and my dad ride on our own bikes even though I would've been fine riding with him. Fangs gripped Sweat Pea while the couple across from them mounted their bike and we both rode off. The gang arrived right where Betty was last tracked. We parked out bikes next to a cluster of trees and secured them to a near by tree root that allowed us to deadlock our bikes so that they would not get taken. "Where should we go to now?" Cheryl said while reaching for Toni's hand. "We go deeper directly straight into the forest. If you see a building or anything, a hidden door, foot prints, a car, tire tracks or anything suspicious we go there." I said and I started leading them all down the beaten path of the forest.

     We were walking for what felt like forever to me but it was only five minutes so far. "Jug, it's ok son, we'll find her. I promise." FP said patting my back. "Thanks dad." I said looking at him and walking further along while the other serpents continued on the path. "Uhh g-guys..." I heard Fangs say with a quivering voice. "Holy shit!" I heard Toni say. While jumping back into Cheryl's arms. I walked over to where they were and saw a long knife covered in blood. Around the knife was a ton of blood stained leaves which was obviously a lame attempt to try and cover the knife. "Betty." I gasped looking at the weapon. "Shit guys we have to find her!" I yelled almsot crying. Right when I said that I heard a bloody loud scream.

     The scream almsot shattered my ears it was so loud. "Over there! That shack in the distance!" I heard Sweat Pea said pointing to a rugged shack. We all sprinted towards the shack occasionally tripping and on a twig or rock. The screams got louder as we got closer and closer to the worn down building. We approached the building and I was just about ready to knock it down until my dad stopped me. "Jug let me lead. You saw that knife who knows what else he has. You're not gonna get hurt either. Betty needs you." My dad said grilling my shoulder. I nodded my head and kicked to door completely down. The wood was rotten so it was easy to knocks over.

     Inside the shack reveal a bloodied Betty screaming with I knife held closely to throat. Her leg had a huge gash on it with blood trickling down her leg. Cuts and bruises were scatted around her body and her face was sleepy and covered in blood. Next to her was her psychotic father covered in Betty's blood holding a knife and a gun in his back pcoket. "GET THE FUCK OFF BETTY!" I shouted as I ran over to Hal and threw a punch at his face. This stopped him from cutting Betty any more than he already did. "JUG! Get Betty out! We'll deal with Hal!" I heard Toni shout while taking her knife out and jumping onto Hal.

     Toni, Cheryl and my dad all were on Hal while the other three of us went over to Betty. "We're gonna Get you out of here Betty, you're gonna be fine. Fangs, call 911, get them over here." I said noticing how abused and bloodied Betty was. The gash on her leg was so deep that I could basically see the bone. "Sweat Pea, knife." I said as he handed it to me. I cut Betty out of the ropes that held her in her chair and let her sit. I wrapped my arms around her and tucked my head into her messy hair. I heard sirens nearing as I breathed a sigh of relief thinking that my girlfriend would be ok.

     I kept her in my embrace but I looked over to see the three serpents still fighting Hal. Hal managed to get to his feet and he reached into his back pocket. His hands fiddles with his gun as I noticed he turned the safety setting off. "GUYS WATCH OUT! HIS GUN!" I screamed but it was too late. Hal pulled the trigger making a bullet land directly into my dads stomach. "Shit dad! No fuck!" I said making my way over to him but making sure Fangs tended to Betty. I kneeled next to my dad and squeezed his hand tightly. "It's gonna be ok dad, the police and ambulances are coming." I said now crying.

     I couldn't loose my dad, Betty couldn't loose him either. FP was one of Betty's biggest supporters. I looked over at Hal who was being violently beaten by Toni, Cheryl and Sweat Pea. Fangs was comforting Betty until the ambulances rolled up right outside. "Help! Help, my dad, he was shot. And my girlfriend is loosing a lot of blood. Just please help." I said as tears poured from my eyes. Both Betty and my father were bleeding rivers as four men put them onto two separate stretchers. A group of police men came in and took Hal and handcuffed him. He got kind of mad at the serpents for beating him up but they understood considering how critically injured two people were because of him.

     I followed my dads stretcher however they refused to let me into the ambulance. They said he was in too much of a critical state to have people in the car, however they let me ride with Betty. "I love you Betts. Stay strong, we're gonna get your cleaned up and you can see Kylie again, and Archie, Kevin, Veronica your mom. You're gonna be alright baby." I said to her squeezing he hand and rubbing her shoulder. "What about your dad." She managed to huff out. When she talked she coughed a little and when she did blood rolled down her cheek. The nurses were already cleaning the dried crisp blood off her face making her wince. "He's gonna be ok I think." I said caressing her cheek.

     She just smiled and she let her eyes fall into the darkness. She was exhausted and needed to sleep. She was loosing massive amounts of blood as we rode together listening to the steady sounds of the monitors Betty was now attached to. As I rode in the ambulance I heard to serpents on all the bikes driving right beside us to the hospital. I even notified Kevin on the situations and told him to meet us at the hospital. Hopefully this whole mess would turn out to be fine. At least Betty would be ok but now I was praying my dad would turn out fine.
