👑Jugheads Point Of View~

Jails freak me out. There's always a sense of danger lurking around in the air. My dad was getting out today. The guards said we could visit him before we pick him up, I obviously wanted him to meet Betty but not under these circumstances.

But it's Betty and it's easier to kick a toddler than it is to say no to her, so here we are, in a putrid canteen with small plastic tables and felons with tattoos of their bitches names tattooed across their forehead and everyone eyeing Betty like she was meat.

I held her hand as we sat on the table waiting for my dad, I was having a minor heart attack, I haven't actually spoken to him in years, what am I doing.

"Baby" I heard Betty whisper.

"Yeah" I tightened my hold around her hand.

"Don't be nervous" she smiled giving me a kiss on the cheek and squeezing my thigh a bit.

"I'll go and get us a water from that fountain okay" she smiled and got up to walk to the other side of the room.

🦄Betty's Point Of View~

I've never seen Jughead this anxious. Water will calm him down, distract him for the 0.5 seconds it will take him to drink it.

I was stood behind a very tall man and in front of another tall man, dark hair and scruffy facial hair, he looked Middle Aged but still very good looking.

The man in front of me dropped his tissue when I went to lean down to pick it up for him, the voice behind me spoke.

"Don't pick it up girly" he spoke and I turned around to face him, suddenly intimidated.

"Why not" I asked innocently, it was only a tissue after all.

"That is a very bad man, and he wants you to lean over so he can stare at that lovely behind you have because everyone in here hasn't seen a woman in years" he almost laughed.

The man in front of me now gone and I was pouring a cup for Jughead and one for myself.

"Well Thankyou that was very kind of you" I said smiling at him.

"So what brings you here?" He asked me stopping me from walking away, I turned to look at him as he poured  his own cup.

"I'm here with my boyfriend, to see his dad" I smiled.

"Lucky guy" he laughed and I smiled to him as I walked off in the direction of Jughead, seems innocent enough but I was still very intimidated.

I reached Jughead and put my water down.

"I'll be right back, I'm going to the toilet" I said giving him his water and then racing down to toilets, I wanted to be quick so I wouldn't miss Jugheads dad.

The toilets were disgusting and to be honest they made me feel a bit sick, so as I was casually scrubbing my hands three times over I noticed on the wall it said "Penny Peabody is a homewrecking whore" and laughed.

I raced back to jughead wanting to tell him what it said.

"Juggy" I giggled reaching him and then noticed he was sat with someone.

"Forsythe, is this your girlfriend?" He said eyes lighting up.

"Damn son, I thought it would never happen, Hello" he smiled giving me a hug.

"We've already met" I explained to Jughead who's smile faded in an instant, I noticed and then tried to explain further.

"Down by the water fountain, she tried to pick up the tissue" FP said with a chuckle.
