TIME SKIP TO 1 MONTH LATER
*jugheads POV*
I was in the airport on my way back from Texas as I went to visit my dad for a few days. Betty decided to stay home as she has felt quite sick with the pregnancy. Where my dad had moved to, I wasn't able to get any service on my phone so I hadn't been in contact with Betty for about 4 days. She'd stayed at Veronica's while I was away so if anything did happen, someone was there for her. I finally had service at the airport. When I turned my phone on, there had been 25 missed calls from Veronica in the past hour. I instantly rang her as soon as I saw the messages. She picked up straight away.
"Finally Jughead, you need to come to mine now"
"Why, what's happened?"
"Just come here now"
Veronica ended the call and I knew that something had happened to Betty. I grabbed my bag and ran outside. I jumped inside a cab and told them to go quickly. It was only a 10 minute drive but it felt about 2 hours. I was shaking but trying so hard not to cry. The cab pulled up outside Veronica's apartment building, I jumped out and ran inside. I got to their apartment and banged on the door. Veronica opened it, her eyes puffy and red. I pulled her in and gave her a hug.
"Veronica, what's going on?"
She pulled away from me.
"It's Betty, she's in t-the bathroom and she's been in there for an hour. The door is open but she hasn't said a word to me"
I run past Veronica and towards the bathroom. As I get to the bathroom, I see Betty against the wall, her head in her hands and I can hear her crying. My heart drops and I race to her side. I sit in front of Betty and place my hand on her arm.
"Betty, it's me"
She slightly lifts her head up and starts crying again.
"Betty what's happened?"
I can start to feel my eyes tear up, usually I would try and hold it back but I was so scared. She doesn't say anything so I move next to her and just hold her close to me. After a few minutes, she bursts out crying again.
"Jug make the pain go away"
"What pain"
"Jug the pain"
"Is it the baby"
I move to sit in front of Betty.
"No"
"What pain Betty?"
She starts rocking back and forth, still crying. I feel tears fall down my face.
"I need to be with my mom. Then the pain will go. Jug please. Just let me be with my mom"
I break down and start crying. The thought of Betty not wanting to be alive and wanting the pain to go away. Completely. Broke. My. Heart. Heart. Betty lifted her head up and I pulled her so tightly to my chest that I never wanted to let her go. We sat there for about 20 minutes until Veronica came to the door.
"Do you need anything"
"Could you make the room she's in relaxing? I think it will help her sleep"
"Yeah sure"
Veronica leaves and shuts the door.
