Part 13: I did something bad

Betty's POV
The sun shines through on to my face as I begin to wake up. I climb out of bed and walk downstairs ready to eat breakfast. Once I make it down the stairs I notice my mum is now where to be seen. "Mum?" I call out but no return. I pour myself some cereal, I take at least two spoon fulls before I answer the door. I rush to get it thinking it will be my mum but as I open the door I'm shocked to see Jughead standing there. "Hey Betty can I come in?" He asks.
"Um... sure." I say signaling him to come in. "What's up?" I ask?
"It's our parents.... I kinda walked in on them together." He claims.
"You mean our parents are like together?" I ask.
"Basically... I guess." He replies back. Suddenly the door opens.
"Oh goodie yours are both here." My mum says.
"Why don't we all go to pops and have a talk over breakfast?" FP suggests. I nod and go upstairs to get ready.

Later at pops

"So we're guessing yous want an explanation?" My mum says. "The truth is we are together." She continues. "And we ate hoping with both of your blessing, we could all move in together." Jughead and I look at each other with complete shock. "Who are we to deny the two of you of love?" Jughead asks. "Right Betty?" He ads.
"Absolutely if you makes yous happy it make us happy." I finish. "Mum can talk to you for a second." She follows me into the bathroom. "Does FP know about the baby?" I ask worried.
"Yes he does, and he still wants to be with me how sweet is that." She adds.
"Mum you aren't just dating him to get payback on dad are you?" I ask.
"Betty, I love FP, I truely do." She claims .
"How can you be so sure?" I say walking out of the bathroom. It was wrong of me to do so after everything that happened, but I couldn't take the heat. I'm scared my mum will be hurt once more. I couldn't stand to watch it. I just walked out of Pops and kept walking and walking. I didn't know where I was going but I wasn't stopping.

Archie's POV
"Archie, Jughead is here to see you." My dad yells out from downstairs. Then before I knew it Jughead was in my room. "Hey dude what's up?" I ask.
"Have you heard from Betty?" He asks. I shake my head. "She stormed out of Pops and her mum is worried sick." He states.
"Then lets go find her." I say grabbing my phone and jacket walking downstairs and out of the door. "Has anyone tried calling her?" I ask.
"Her mum and I have." He replied. I thought id try mum luck and call her. Then the phone picked up. "Arch?" I hear a soft voice say.
"Betty, where are you, we're worried sick." I state to her.
"I'm at Cheryl's, with her and Veronica." She replies.
"I'm coming over." I state. Jug and I jump into my dad's Ute and drive over to Cheryl's. When we arrive in the front yard Veronica meets us. "She won't tell us what's going on, she just said she needed us." She states.
"Can you send her out to talk?" I ask.
"Yeah sure, but Jughead I think it's best of you come inside with me." She finishes, Jughead nods and follows her inside. Soon after Betty come out. I brace her in a big hug and I fell some of her tears fall onto my shoulder. "Betty what's wrong?" I ask.
"Arch I've done a horrible thing." She states. "The black hood he called me again last night, wanting to know who the father of my older brother was. My mum only just told me and she wanted me to keep it secret. Yet I still told the black hood. He.... he threatened to hurt you if I didn't tell him, I couldn't stand to see you get hurt because of my fault. But now I can't even look at myself because of what I did to my mum." She explains exploding with tears.
"Betty, the black hood is torturing you. You did what anyone would do in that situation. I'm so sick of seeing the black hood hurt people I love. We can stop him together, just like how we thought we did." I state to her.
"It's funny, to think we shared the kiss that started us as a couple here." She giggles.
"There that giggle I love." I states leaning into a kiss. "Betty together we will stop the black hood forever. But right now I need you with me, I need Betty Cooper." I state.
"Oh Arch, it's just like the first time you said that." She blushes back. We head inside and spend some time with our friends.

Betty's POV
Later that night Archie dropped Jughead and I back off to my house. When we get inside my mum and FP are sitting in the lounge room. Mum was in tears again, it's starting it be a recurrence. "Mums what's wrong?" I ask. She passes me the news paper which stated. 'Perfect Mum Alice Cooper, puts her first son up for adoption because he cane from a low life South Sider like herself.' My heart sunk. It was all my fault that this story was being made up about my mum.
