Juliet ~ Discontinued

тωσ

"Shit," I whisper as I notice Jughead walking towards us, "Julie, don't say a word,"

"What the fuck was that about?" He questions "One minute we are actually talking for the first time in 4 years and the next your out of the door and at a preschool?" He shouts

"Jughead," I scold "I am not your friend or your girlfriend anymore, I don't have to sit and listen, and as you can see, I had somewhere to be," I add, walking past him, brushing against his shoulder on purpose, I place Juliet on the ground, taking her hand.

"I apologised Betty, I explained what happened, is that not enough?" He asks after me "I have to wait 4 fucking years to even speak to you, and when I finally do you leave the second I finish,"

"Jughead, I don't like that language around her," I hiss as we continue walking, Juliet buried into my side

"Does it look like I give a fuck, she's not yours and she's certainly not mine!" He shouts, a wave of disbelief passes through me and I immediately feel tears prick in the corner of my eyes, I lose eye contact with him dropping my gaze to the floor.

"Mommy?" I hear Juliet ask, "Are you ok?" She asks, clutching onto my leg, hugging it tightly

"Yes baby," I whisper as I lean down and kiss her head, I turn back to Jughead to see his guilt ridden face, "Just leave me alone Jughead, I just want to be left alone,"

Juliet's once worried expression turns into a scowl as she turns towards Jughead, "You made my mommy cry, You-You Poophead," she accuses angrily

"I didn't mean to, I love your mommy very much," my heart races at his words but I just avoid eye contact, holding back the tears

"No, only daddy can love mommy," she says sadly

"Juliet? How did you know about daddy's?" I ask hurriedly, we never spoke about them,

"Everyone in preschool has a daddy, they all say their mommy and daddy love each other," she says shyly

"Oh baby," I say pulling her into a hug "Mommy's and Daddy's don't always love each other, take me and your daddy for example, Daddy may love mommy very much-," I shoot Jughead a quick side glance before returning to my little J "But daddy hurt mommy, a lot, so mommy can't love daddy, no matter how much she wants to, one day maybe mommy will get you a daddy," I add with a whisper

I look over to Jughead as realisation makes itself evident on his face "I'm a dad," he whispers,

"Jughead-," I start But he interrupts me

"No, Betts, I explained everything to you, you can't just drop the bomb that I have a daughter and not give me an explanation," he says unhappily as we reach the bar,

"How do you know she's yours,"

"Stop fucking around Betty, how old are you sweetie?" He asks her, she just holds up 3 fingers nervously "Ok, so the time periods, the EYES, and the fact you immediately tensed up at the mention of a dad, knowing I was right there, you shot me glances while explaining and you mentioned he hurt you - which I have,"

"So what Jughead, it doesn't mean anything I-,"

"Juliet, lets go inside," I turn to see Cheryl, I give her a quick glance as a thank you before she takes her niece inside to meet my friends

"It means everything Betty," Jughead whispers "I wanted this with you, I hardly looked at a single girl since you, I've beat myself up over it, I already told you that I was sorry, what more can I say?"

"You can start by making a good impression on her, she may have never noticed it, but I can tell she needs a dad, I won't let her down because of you're stupid mistakes," i hesitantly respond,

Jughead looks down with a nod but a weird voice pauses us "Oh Juggie," a feminine voice calls, I turn slowly to see a ginger GURL running towards us, flats, a pink sweater and some light wash jeans along with a scarf,

"I missed you," she squeals before jumping on top of him, he stumbles a bit but catches himself with a confused expression etched on his face

"Who are you?" He asks, his confusion genuine, this time the girl turns to me

"Men am I right, can't even remember their own girlfriend, I'm Everlyn, by the way." She says holding out a hand

"Sorry I don't shake hands of prissy princesses," I say pushing the hand away from my face

"Says the one that changed from a prissy princess," she says scoffing "Anyway Juggie, you never called me last night, are you cheating on me?" She whines

"We aren't together, I don't even remember you," He says pushing her away from him, jealousy bubbles up inside me as I watch them but I ignore it, I don't want to cause a scene,

"But Juggie-,"

"Stop calling me that," he snaps "Only one person can call me that, cause she means the world," he says with a light smile directed at me, butterflies erupt in my stomach as I keep my head down

"Jughead, one rule with our daughter, no sluts around her," I say with a scowl, pointing towards Everlyn, it took me a few minutes but I suddenly remembered where I heard the name

"Excuse me, I'm not the one covering nothing with the minimal clothes,"

"I'm not the one who slept with someone's boyfriend while she was In a coma," I snap back, feeling the frustration i storm inside not taking a second look back.
