Betty Cooper is 17 and new to the small town of Riverdale she's just moved from LA to Riverdale with her family for a "fresh start". Betty move to Riverdale because that's where her parents grew up.
Jughead Jones has lived in Riverdale all his life...
I was sat up in my bed with my back on my head bored and I had Jughead's head on my lap and he was facing I'm stomach and I was running my fingers threw his hair. He had calmed down and we were just sat in this position in comfortable silence. I looked down at Jughead and noticed that Jughead's chain he had round his neck that he always wears.
"Jug?"
"Yeah?"
"What's in that chain?"
"A sniper bullet." He said and I looked down at him a little confused as he looked up at me. He pulled it out of his tshirt.

"My dad was an army sniper when I was a kid and once I was born he basically stopped well he got discharged. And he used to wear this then he gave it me so I just kind of were it. I just like it I think it's cool."
"I was just wondering." I said smiling I leaned down and kissed him softly then I went back to running my fingers threw his hair.
"I'm sorry for just showing up Betty. I just needed to see you."
"It's ok Jug. I don't mind."
"What were you doing anyway? Before I came up anyway"
"Just finishing my drawing."
"Uh can I see it?"
"Sure." I said getting off my bed and walking over to my desk and pick up my stewing then handed it to Jughead who was now stood next to me.

"Betty this is amazing!"
"Thanks." I said blushing "you can keep it if you want."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah." I said smiling he folded it up and put it in his pocket. I walked round him and lay down on my bed and he came over and lay next to me he put his arm out and I lay on his bicep and wrapped his arm round me and I put my arm round his torso.
"Do you want to go to Pop's?"
"Let me guess....your hungry?"
"You know me so well." He said smirking.
"Do you want to walk or take the jeep?"
"We can walk." He said and we both got up and walked downstairs.
"I'm going to Pop's!" I shouted
"Ok have a nice time!" My dad shouted
Me and Jughead walked to Pop's hand in hand talking and laughing. When we got there we sat across from each other and we ordered some food. After Pop's I went home and Jughead said he'd pick me up later.
Jughead POV
After Betty left Pop's I stayed there alone for a little while till I left and slowly walked home. Once I walked into my house I saw my Mom and Dad sat on the couch I walked past them and went up about two steps till my Dad spoke.
"I'm sorry Jughead." I stopped and turned around
"What about?" I said confused and he just looked at me then I realised what he was saying.
"Dad it doesn't bother me that your having another kid. I'm happy I'm going to have a little brother. What bothers me is the fact that you thought I'd flip out or lose it because you were having another son that was going to have two legs and he isn't going to be deformed."
"I don't like that word." My dad whispered
"I know you don't dad but that's what I was I'm not the same weak kid anymore. I haven't been for years. Betty asked me the other day why I don't tell people about my leg I told her it was an insecurity but that wasn't the entire truth it's only part of it. It's because ones I tell people that's all they see. They see me as a guy with one leg and that's it they don't see anything else that's why I don't want to tell anyone because I want to be seen as more then that. I thought my parents saw me as more than that but clearly you guys don't. Betty is the only one who's sees me the same way before and after i told her."
"Jug we didn't know....."
"It's fine I just thought my parents would see me for who I am. But obviously I was wrong. Just leave me alone." I said walking upstairs
I looked at the time and it was 5:42pm I still had a while till I was picking Betty up so I grabbed my basketball ball from the side and went out the back for so I didn't have to face my parents. I walked round to the front to the drive way and started to throw the basketball into the hoop. After a while I threw the last shot then I pulled off my sweet drenched tshirt and tucked part of it into my jeans I picked up the basketball and walked back into the house threw the back door into the kitchen. I grabbed a bottle of water and walked up to my room.
I then went for a shower. Once I was done I still had a few hours so I just got changed into a pair of basketball shorts I was sat on my bed putting my leg on and my mom walked in my room I looked up at her then back at my leg then I screwed the valve onto the side of the socket my leg went in then my mom spoke.
"I am sorry Jughead."
"Again what for?"
"Treating you different."
"It's fine Archie, Veronica and Kevin all did it. It's human nature I guess."
"So Betty isn't human."
"Uh Betty? Betty different. She still sees me for me and nothing else she's special she's one of a kind."
"You really like her don't you?"
"Yeah. I really like her."
"I just wanted to say sorry."
"It's ok."
She smiled and walked out of my room. I sat on my bed and looked up at the ceiling. After a while of thinking I looked over at the clock 7:20pm I got up and got changed into a pair of black jeans and a grey S tshirt then I put my dark green denim jacket on and then my shoes I put my beanie on and grabbed a couple pillows and a few blankets and then walked downstairs and grabbed my wallet and keys.
"Bye guys!"
"Where you going?" My mom said
"To the drive-in with Betty."
"Ok. We'll see you later Jug. Be safe." My dad said and I left. I got in my jeep and put the blankets and pillows in the back seat then reversed out of the drive and drove into Betty's drive way.
