"Don't let go"

9-sleepovers and boys in bushes

Betty's Point Of View-

Somehow my sleepover for moral support has turned into Cheryl going absolutely crazy over how the river vixens aren't as good now I'm not there, and various other Riverdale High lunacy.

"Oh my god Betty did you hear? Veronica is dating a serpent, if she thinks she can sit with me at lunch now she's got another thing coming, she's in bed with the snakes" Cheryl scoffed.

"So? I live with two?" I sighed.

"Well that can't be helped can it? She's choosing to do this" Cheryl said genuinely offended.

"I'm thinking of getting a serpent boyfriend, he's super hot, and a total bad ass, everyone at school wants him" I teased Cheryl.

"Oh Betty, I know you're going through a tough time, but please don't start going down deep dark roads, it will only end in tears" Cheryl said, putting her face mask on indicating she was going to sleep.

"I'm kidding, but Cheryl they're not that bad, they're just like you and me, but they have a reputation and we don't" I sighed getting my phone out to see a text from Jughead.

Jughead
How's it going in the house of horrors?

Me
I don't think I can stay here, call me with an excuse to come home.

Jughead
Nope, you left me for the night, to my own devices, this is your punishment.

Me
Don't act like you didn't want the privacy😉 please jughead

Jughead
What are you implying there Betty, I still do my things just when your asleep or when I'm in the shower😂

As if he's just said that, he has no boundaries, but did the thought of it turn me on? A little bit yeah.

Me
Juggie, please, I'm so bored, Cheryl's asleep, my aunt Penelope is out and I have nothing to do, take me home, I'll let you touch my butt😏

That was risky, and I felt kind of embarrassed when he didn't text me back for a while, but when I heard tapping on the window and I looked outside to see Jughead standing there with a cigarette and his phone.

"I believe you owe me a grope" he laughed and I shushed him, looking over to Cheryl and he did too.

"Wait I know her" Jughead said going into Cheryl's room, handing me the cigarette, at this point I knew I was fucked so I didn't bother going to get him, I just smoked.

"She's Toni's secret girlfriend" Jughead whispered sitting on the bed next to her.

My eyes widened and I threw the cigarette and sat on the bed next to him, and poked Cheryl awake.

"Betty, what the fuck" she gasped.

"You are so against me dating a serpent when you are yourself" I gasped, this could get messy.

"Girls are different to boys" Cheryl scoffed.

"What serpent are you dating Betty?" Jughead said confused.

"Well juggie is taking me home, I don't think I can sleep in the same bed as a liar" I said gathering my things.

"Yeah well at least I'm not in bed with a snake" Cheryl said looking Jughead up and down.

"Yes you are! You just don't want to admit it to yourself because your the perfect Cheryl blossom, you can do no wrong, I never noticed it when I lived here but I'm not surprised that the south siders hate us because it's people like you with your opinions sat on your high horse in your marble floored mansion talking shit about people like Jughead, who by the way has been more family to me than you have since I left" I spat, storming down the stairs and Jughead trailing behind me.

"I'm sorry Betty, I'm sorry that I'm not little miss perfect, sorry that I'm not as squeaky clean as you are but you need to face the truth, the south side has nothing to offer you, it's alright for now, but you fall in love with him and he cheats, or leaves or gets arrested it's only going to be you left in the dirt" she said as I swung the front door open.

"Why would you even think that, this may come as a shock to you, but they're not criminals, I know I'm mad at you at the moment but you need to leave me the hell alone. You never know what dirty laundry I will tell all your perfect north side friends" I said sitting on the back of Jugheads motorbike.

"Yeah well, go ahead, I'll tell everybody that Betty the tease is a virgin" she screamed, that used to offend me but it doesn't now.

"Yeah well Cheryl fuck you" I screamed as we rode away, back to the south side, back home.

Jughead's Point Of View-

It was around 2.30 when we got home, my dad sleeps at the bar most days, so it's always just the two of us, she stormed into the kitchen and got a bag of Doritos out of the cupboard and slumped down on the couch turning the tv on.

"Did I cause all that?" I said with a cheeky smile sitting next to her.

"Cheryl just doesn't like the truth, she never has and she never will, Thankyou for coming to get me by the way" she said turning her head to look at me, I lay down on her lap to look up at her and she fed me Doritos whilst we watched some sit com on late night tv.

"What serpent are you dating?" I asked, I thought we had something going on but clearly not.

"I'm not, I was teasing Cheryl before you got there" she laughed.

"Nothing would piss her off more than her "squeaky clean" cousin dating a bad ass, super hot, black haired, banging bod, sarcastic asshole serpent" she laughed looking down at me.

"Did you just describe me!" I said, relishing the feel of her fingers in my hair.

"So what if I did?" She said now seriously.

"Then I would say this bad ass, super hot, black haired, banging bod, sarcastic ass hole serpent, feels the same way as the blonde haired, super sweet, super sexy, extremely gorgeous, rocking bod north sider" I said with a grin as I watched her grin grow ten times wider.

"Well, why do you never make a move, you hardly even touch me" she rolled her eyes, her hands on the side of my face.

"I'm not going to touch you until you ask" I smirked.

"Well I'm not going to ask" she teased as she got up and walked away.

No truer words have ever been spoken than when Cheryl called Betty a tease.

Because that night Betty didn't wear pyjamas for bed, and I've never seen anything like the red lace lingerie she was wearing, and she just so happened to push the covers off of her.

That girl was testing me.
