MY GIRL- BUGHEAD

CHAPTER 30

*TIME JUMP! JULIET IS 14 YEARS OLD*

Jughead's POV 

"Dad?" I hear Jullie's voice.

I open my eyes and look at her. She's cryin her eyes out.

"Baby, what's wrong?" I ask and sit up on my bed.

She sits on my bed and climbes in the middle of it and crosses her legs, "Can we talk?" she cries.

"Yeah, of course. What's wrong?" I ask, totally worrying.

She sighs, looking at her legs, "I know, that it hurts you and it hurts me too. But I also know, that you can never move on, so it will always hurt as much as it does now. So.. Can we talk about... Mom," she says and then looks up at me with all these tears.

I'm already crying, "Baby, we can talk about your mom whenever you wsnt. Don't be afraid to ask," I cry and kiss her hair.

She curls up to my side, though we're both still sitting. Growing up only with me, has made us so close. It has also made her close with Betty, because I know, that she talks to her, when she thinks that she's alone.

I put my arm around her and kiss her hair, "What do you wanna ask?" I ask.

She sighs and looks at her legs while tears are dropping on them, "I know, that you've always left something out. Like.. You've said that you loved to wake up by her side, right?" she asks. I nod.

"Well.. When you were 15 and 16, how could you wake up next to each other? You were teenagers.. And we've talked about my grandma. But never my grandpa. Or my other grandma. And you've said to me, that mom called grandpa her dad... And you also told me that you were childhood friends. Until you got 5. Why? What happened?" she cries.

I sigh, "Why haven't you asked these questions earlier?" I ask her.

She shrugs her shoulders, looking into my eyes. Looking exactly like Betty, when we met, only that her hair is down. I kiss her forehead.

"Let's start from the beginning..." I say and she rests her head on my shoulder, listening. I kiss her hair.

"Well.. Alice, your mom's mom and my dad, they were childhood friends," I start. She already looks shocked, "So.." I sigh, "Alice lived here, dad lived in the house that me and Archie grew up in, where he is living right now with Ronnie and Mike," I say. She nods, knowing that.

"They were childhood friends. And they started dating when they were 14. Broke up when they were 20, to tey dating others, cause they never had... My dad found Gladys, your grandma. She was pregnant with Archie. So Archie is only my half brother," I sigh. She looks totally shocked, "And Alice found Hal, your other grandpa.. She got pregnant, with your aunt and uncle, Polly and Chic," I say. She's so in shock.

"And they both decided, that since grandpa wanted to raise Archie as his son, and grandma was pregnant with twins, that although they still love each other, the best thing for their babies is to grow with their parents," I say and then sigh, "So my dad stayed in his home with Gladys and Archie and Alice went with Hal to San Francisco... They still ahd feelings for each other. But Gladys got pregnant with me. That didn't still stop them. As often as Alice could lie to Hal, that she needed to go somewhere, she came here. They still loved each other. So much. But it was too late... They still kept in touch and then Alice got pregnant with Betty, your mom," I say.

"She didn't get, how that could happen, cause she used protection with my dad and didn't have sex with Hal. But she remembered that Hal had raped her.." I say.
