Jugheads POV:

    I stormed into the bar. Anger clouding all of my other emotions. She did this to herself. She joined the ghoulies. I walked past all of the serpents who were looking at me with confused stares. I stood in front of the door to the room where Betty was being held. I violently swung the door open. Betty jumped at the loud noise. I felt my heart break but I ignored it. "I need you for something," I stated keeping my face expressionless. "What now?" She asked clearly mimicking my annoyance. "You're a good mechanic. I need you to fix this car," I said trying to keep my voice as monotone as possible. 

    I led Betty  to the car she would be fixing. I gave her the tools and stood by the car as she worked on it. I decided to interrogate her since she couldn't run away. "Why did you join the ghoulies in the first place?" I turned to face her. I couldn't read he  the emotion the was plastered on her face. "I needed someone to keep me safe at southside high," She responded not looking up. "Why were you avoiding me? I could have helped you," I said at this point I had dropped the act. I was hoping if I showed her I was actually hurt she would open up to me. "I couldn't Jug. My mother didn't want me hanging out with you, or anyone. If I did she would send me back and I-I cant do that again," She said tears forming in her eyes as she desperately tried to blink them away. "Betty-,"

"Your car is done," She said quickly, cutting me off. I nodded knowing she didn't want to talk but my heart was breaking for her. She was the kindest person ever and yet, all she gets is pain. I led her back to the room and brought all of the serpents in as well. "So Betty I still need you for something. You are going to lead us the the ghoulie leader," There was a moment of silence until Betty spoke up. "Hate to break it to you but you're looking at her," At those words I felt my entire world collapse.

I'm sorry its so short. I didn't have much time to write. I have some things going on right now so I won't be as active.
