When Southside Serpent, Jughead Jones, is transferred to Riverdale High for the betterment of his education, what is to come? How will his new tutor, Betty Cooper, affect his transfer?
The shirt couldn't hold Betty's blood any longer. By the time the ambulance knocked on the door, Betty was loosing consciousness again. Her cuts weren't deep, there were just a lot of them. I run downstairs and open it up for them, a few men going up to carry Betty down before putting her on a stretcher.
"Jug.." she calls, extending her arm before they put a mask on her face as they wheel her out of her house. I follow behind.
"I'm right here Betts!" I try to keep up, but with the 4 officers around her, there isn't room for me to walk by her.
They pick up the stretcher and put her in the truck. I start to climb in but the doctor who sits in the back with Betty stops me.
"Only family, bud. Are you her brother or something?"
My blood boils, "What?! No! But you can't expect me to let her be alone right now, she needs someone!"
"Yes, a family member." he argues.
"Let me in the fucking truck. I'm not leaving her! There is no damn family here, do you see anybody?" I yell.
"Please." I plea.
He sighs, understanding that Betty did need support, and seeing my need. "Get in."
I climb in and sit on the bench nearest to Betty. Her eyes are fluttering. I hold her hand and I feel her squeeze back. It hurt so much to see her like this.
I smooth back her hair before pecking her forehead. Her eyes flutter shut. Anxiety builds up inside of me, the not knowing of how long until she wakes up again.
With Betty now unconsciousness, I focus my attention on the monitor, watching her heart beat. Her hand is still in mine, but limb. I didn't want to let go.
"I'm sorry for yelling, dude." I apologize to the doctor, I need to learn to control my anger.
"It's no problem." he smiles. I'm guessing a lot of people yell at him in times of chaos.

The ambulance ride felt hours long, although it was only 5 minutes. Once we get the I make my way by Betty as they wheel her along. I keep up with the doctors as they run in, my hand on the bar of the hospital bed. Some doctors push me as I try to follow in past some doors. I push back, trying to go through.

"Sir, you're going to have to wait in the waiting room now as we inspect her." says a nurse.
I gulp, "Oh, o-okay. She'll be alright, right?"
She smiles weakly and then walks away. What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
I pace the hall until I find the waiting room as they roll her away into the closed off area. This is all my fault, it had to be. Something I said must've triggered this, she was fine before I came along. I take off my beanie and fall into a chair, resting my elbows on my legs and my head in my hands.
