Jugheads PoV

"Betty what's going on?" "Jug I need to stay calm and not freak out okay?" "Okay?" "And you can't lose it!" "Fine okay!" "The reason you need to sign that is because Gladys...isn't a good person" "Well I could of told you that-" "no juggie...james JB boyfriend? Gladys nearly killed him when she found them together in bed and I think JB nearly him cos of it" "so I probably could of to-" "no jughead from the way she she walking...your mums like my dad..." "what?!" "From the way JB was talking she put him in the hospital" "oh my god!" "That's not all" "oh god what?!" "Jellybean was pregnant jughead. Gladys made...made her have an...an abortion" she looking down and tears falling from her eyes. I knew how this made Betty feel, especially after Elizabeth.

"Betts come here" I said pulling her into a hug with tears now down my face. "We can't leave her there jug! I can't...I won't...let her be hurt by the woman...anymore!" "I know and neither will I. So let's go and sign that paper" she just nods her head and we walk up to the table. Once we got there you could clearly see that we'd both been crying and jellybean was on sweet peas lap crying into his shoulder. I as I was about to my mother said. "You do this jughead and I'll tell them the truth and I don't want to lose my baby" "you won't dare" "oh I would" "juggie? What's she talking about?" "It's nothing!" "Sign that paper son and I'll tell them" "Jug please whatever it is tell Them and sign the papers I can't go back with her!" "I'm sorry Jellybean" I start to back away my hand from the paper and place the pen down.

Then Betty leans towards me and says "jughead I don't care what the hell the she's on about but you sign that damn paper! If you won't do it for your sister then do for Elizabeth! For god sakes me and jellybean were more or less in the boat god damn boat!" "Betts thats not fair!" "Jug she's your sister! And I swear to god if you don't sign that paper you'll never see me again. I'm not letting JB go though I did with my dad! I won't let that happen and you'll lose me" "Betty I'll lose you anyway!" "Whatever it is we'll sort it! But please Jug sign the paper and get your sister away from that monster! Do it for your sister, do for me. For it for Elizabeth"

"I'm so sorry Jellybean. I love you Betty" and I sign the papers. "Thank you jughead" JB says getting off of sweets lap and hugging me. "Who's up for a story?" "Mum please don't!" "When jughead was what? 15? I came come to talk to Fp. See I wanted I to have contact with my son. But anyway that doesn't matter because one day I picked jughead up from school early and brought him back to the trailer but this wasn't the trailer you know. This was a different one that Fp lived in with your mum. Ya see before she married your dad they lived together and nearly got married but I stopped that. So I come into the trailer with jughead and we see there Fp banging your mother. I ran out in tears and jughead was there frozen at the fact that his dad had lied to him cos Fp told him his parents were getting back together. Alice grabbed her clothes and ran to the bedroom and Fp got dressed and ran after her to make sure she was okay. Jughead lock them in and started a fire see the man you love Betty Tried to kill your mum-" "that's a lie!" 

Betty's PoV

"That's a lie!" I shout at her I knew it was because that didn't happen! I know it didn't but before I could say anything jughead spoke up. "Yes it is Betty! I'm sorry!" He said looking away from me. "No jug! That didn't happen!-" "Yes! It! Did!" "Jughead look me okay?! That didn't happen!  You know why I know?!" "Why?" He said While tears rolled down his face. I cupped his face with my hands and said. " i know this because Fp and my mum told the truth years ago! When I first joined the serpents...you remember when my mum and Fp dragged me off outside to talk privately and I told you it was about being the serpent queen?"

He just shakes his head 'yes' "yes your mum came back, yes you two court Fp and my mum at it, yes Gladys ran out and my mum ran to the bedroom but Fp ran to you! Jug he didn't ran after my mum or yours. He ran to you. To make sure you were okay!" "He was lying Betty!" "No he wasn't juggie. After my mum left you went to your room while him and Gladys talked. You ran out of your room to see your mum beating your dad and when you tried to stop her she pushed you away so hard you fell and hit your head and you were out cold for days! When you woke up you didn't remember anything! Gladys told you this to keep you and not lose you" "but why didn't he tell me?!" "Because he's lying!"

"He didn't want you to hate your mum anymore than you already did. He loved you so much! You remember when he stopped drinking when you were 14 and he started again just after your mum left again?" "Yeah what's the got to do-" "That's was because he was with my mum...she was leaving my dad! She was getting me and Polly out of there but your mum made sure that didn't happen!" "What?" "Because when you ran out in tears you called my dad and told him!" I said towards Gladys. "They deserved it! They didn't deserve to be happy! Fp only ever looked out for Fp!" "He he didn't!" I shouted back. Thank god it was only our group in the room. "Oh yeah then way didn't he get you and your mum out of there?!" "Because my dad crashed the car that had my mum in it! Because of you my mum was in a wheel chair for months and couldn't call or text Fp so he thought she didn't want him!" "If you believe that then Betty your not only a slut you believed in a man who didn't care about you!" "Fp loved me! And he's the reason I'm here today! He's the reason I'm alive!"
