👑Jugheads Point Of View~

This has been the best five days of my life and I almost didn't want to go back to work, back to New York, back to reality, but it was inevitable and it made me kind of sad we were leaving. At least I had 18 hours left until we get back to New York, 18 left with Betty all to myself, after that I'll have to face Cheryl Blossom shouting at me because I left under wear on my bedroom floor.

"I don't want to go back" I heard Betty say from inside her pod.

"Neither do I" I laughed looking over at her as she fiddled with her pyjama pants she had came to the air port in.

She wore her hoodie and pyjama pants and I wore my sweats and my hoodie, we weren't so glamourous now we're we.

She gestured me over to her, into her little pod thing I did sitting on the floor facing her, in the little space between the pod wall and her chair. I crossed my legs and out my hand on her thigh.

"What's up Baby B" I sang knowing she hates being called that.

"You were too far away" she leaned down and kissed me on the lips, secretly this still made me buzz inside, but I would never ever tell her that. She would get too cocky about it.

I gave her one last peck on the lips before returning to my seat and took my phone out to snapchat her. I took a selfie with the filter on that makes you look sad and sent it to her and with in seconds I had one long back. She had the dog filter on grinning a cheesy grin and looking as adorable as ever. I screenshotted it and sent her one back with a flower crown on my head pouting. She screenshotted that one and it went on like this for about an hour each ping ponging selfies to one another and screen shotting them.

Mine went into my folder in my albums that I have, it's all pictures of Betty, pictures of me and Betty, our movie nights, our Friday night dates, parties we've been to, us in the bath, us at 3am in the Park on one of our adventures. There were literally nearly a thousand photos of us and I noticed Betty had fell asleep so I looked at the very first photo we had together.

I think it was the day I moved in, it was a snapchat photo of Betty scowling because I beat her at monopoly, I snapped the photo of her and the board and captioned it "sore loser". The best night of my life. Moving in with Betty, nobody knew at the time, not even me how beautiful our story would be and I am forever thankful that mine and Betty's paths crossed. I don't believe in the mushy stuff, like fate and destiny and live at first sight, but for some reason in the back of my mind I know that me and Betty were meant to meet that day.

The thought sent me to sleep and I slept for a good 10 hours, all the sleepless nights I've been having have crept back up on me and I looked over to Betty who was surprisingly still asleep.

I waited out the rest of the journey watching movies on my laptop. I watched the breakfast club, weird science and the goonies and before I knew I was waking up to the fasten seat belt sign flashing and rainy New York came into view. We were home.

🧡🧡🧡

"I can't wait to go to bed" I complained, putting the key in the lock to enter the apartment.

"Let's order food first" Betty pleaded, she has been complaining that she is starving for the past hour and a half.

"Chinese?" She said again sweetly already dialling the number into her phone to place a delivery.

"The usual" I smiled at her whilst putting our bags in my room, which was empty.

"Where are the girls?" I called into her but when I walked out Toni was sat at the kitchen counter eating a bowl of noodles and Cheryl Veronica and Betty sat on the couch gossiping and giggling away.

I let them have their catch up whilst sorting all of mine and Betty's luggage out, sorting out what's dirty and putting all her shoes in the closet, setting out her sunglasses on her table and changing her sheets on her bed for her, putting the dirty sheets in the basket and taking them out to the washing machine.

"He's like a little house wife" I heard Cheryl giggle as I put the washing in.

"He's my bitch" Betty laughed back.

I leaned over the back of the couch and raised my eyebrows at the three girls sat on the floor.

"Who's the bitch?" I laughed at Betty and she stuck her tongue out at me and wiggles her eyebrows. That's when the door knocked and I paid for our food.

We sat. We ate. The girls gossiped, we went to bed early and we went to sleep as soon as our head hit the pillow. It was heaven, I don't really appreciate it much when I'm here, but when I've been gone and I come back it's nice. Falling asleep to the distant sounds of city traffic, the sense of security your home gives you.

That's was until 4am and there was a pounding at the door. My protective side came out , along with my paranoia. Betty jumped startled.

"Who is that?" She whispered walking behind me as I opened the door to see Veronica, Toni and Cheryl all in the living room holding onto each other staring at the door.

All four girls looked at me to open the door I pushed Betty back to join the others whilst I slowly padded towards it.

My hand hovered over the handle and my mouth went dry, I knew exactly who it was.

I swung the door open to see an old friend, smiling a disgusting sick smile with two more familiar faces behind her.

"I've missed you kiddo" she cackled and my blood boiled.

Behind her there was two boys I used to know. Fangs, he was cool, but not when he's coming after me, where my girlfriend and her friends are. And sweet pea, don't be fooled by his name, he is ruthless but only because I taught him everything he knows. I wasn't scared of either of them, I was more concerned about Betty, this nearly broke us last time, it won't happen again.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" I shouted to penny who just rolled her eyes and invited herself in, the two boys behind her looked me up and down trying not to make eye contact, they knew this was wrong.

"Well since Bert and Ernie here are so terrified of you I thought I would bring them along, just for the shits and giggles" she said sitting in the kitchen counter. The two boys following behind her.

"Get out, I told you I'm done!" I shouted even louder this time walking towards sweet pea until I felt a hand on my shoulder pull me back.

"They're not here for you"

"They're here for me" and I turned around to see Veronica pull her dressing gown around her tightly and stay stood behind me.

"What" me, Betty, Cheryl and Toni all shouted at the same time.

The Riverdale girls sure do bring a lot of drama with them wherever they go.
