i need you back [bughead]

Sixteen // "Why should I tell you when you won't even care!"

Jughead's POV:
It's been a week of torture, hell. Week without Betty. I haven't seen her at school at all this past week, I think she might just be ignoring me.

It was Sunday today. I had nothing to do. I just wanted to clear my head with all of this crap. I miss Betty, I really do. I just can't put her in any more danger. I could be risking her life if I see or talk to her.

I wish all of this torture just went. But it didn't, and I had to live with it.

I went to my happy place. It's an unknown place in the woods. No one ever goes there, I don't really think that many people know it's here. Theres a high cliff with a beautiful waterfall at the end. It's my happy place.

As I walk nearer and nearer to edge of the cliff, I realise there's someone else here on the right side of the cliff.

I instantly knew who it was by the cute, blond ponytail.

It was a low and loose ponytail though.

That means she's upset.

Betty.

Betty's POV:
Today was my last day at the cheap motel. They said I had to leave by 6 in the morning tomorrow if I don't pay.

I went into the woods to clear my mind until I found this beautiful place.

I went nearer to the cliff and sat down. I balled my eyes out.

Then, I heard a voice. I recognised it. It was Jughead.

"Betts?" He says. Oh that soft voice that melts my heart. This time, it broke it.

"Juggie?" I turn around and see a broken, lost look on his face.

"Betts, why are you crying? What are you doing here?" He asks as he walks closer to me.

"Why should I tell you when you won't even care!" I scoff.

"Betts, I do care...." He says softly again. Ugh, I love him. I miss him. But I can't have my heart broken again.

"Yeah? That's why you left me" I chuckle. I was so hurt. My eyes started getting tired of crying. I've been crying for ages....

....because of him.

"Betts. I'll explain everything" He reassures me.

"No" I don't believe him, I can't. He breaks my heart and probably will make up a stupid excuse now!

"Betts please" He begs. I nod as a response and he starts telling me everything....

"What!" I shout. "You broke up with me because someone made you!?" I question.

"Betts, they're dangerous. They're the serpents enemy. She's really dangerous, I just couldn't see you getting hurt" He explains.

"Well Jug, you're the one who hurt me the most." I answer.

This comment brings tears to his eyes.

"And my mom" I mumble. He hears it.

"What about your mom?" He wonders.

"She was pissed when I came home early because you broke up with me so she kicked me out" I say in a sorrow tone.

"What!" He shouts. "Betts, where do you live now?" He asked.

"Motel.... but.." I don't finish off my sentence, I can't tell him.

"But what?" He asks again.

"But I don't have any more money to pay for it so I have to leave by 6 tomorrow. Also, I don't have any money for food or anything. That's why I couldn't go to school either and I've lost a little weight from starving basically...." I explain everything.

"My life just wen downhill since the day you left Juggie..." I cry.

He pulls me to his embrace.

"I need you" I whisper onto his chest.

"And I won't leave you, never ever again" He promises.

I nod and sob louder onto his chest while he comforts me.
