Betty POV

As I am sitting in the booth looking out the window just thinking and then my mind makes it's way to Jughead his hair, the way he dresses, his face, his voice everything.

As I am doing that pop comes over with 2 burgers, fries and a strawberry milkshake.

"Um I think you have the wrong table" I say while I take in the smell of the burger.

"Actually a guy called Jughead thought you looked hungry so he payed for a meal for you" he said while smiling.

I just sit there in shock "Thank you so much, really" I say gratefully.

"No problem" and then he walks away. After he is gone I start to eat.

I could almost cry of now good it tastes and how hungry I am. I finish one burger and then start my fries, I am still hungry but this is helping so much.

After I am finished eating I smile big. Pop comes over and takes my plate and cup. "Thank you so much" I say with the biggest smile.

"It's no problem you look much better now" I smile feeling better as well.

I look up at the clock and read 1pm I get out of the booth and walk out thanking pop one more time before I walk out the door to find a place to stay.

I walk around for a bit and I find this tunnel that card used to drive through but it's shut down and there is steps on it so I walk up the steps and sit down thinking what I am going to do next.

It's not long before it starts raining and I am thankful I didn't choose to stop at that buss bench I saw earlier.

I hear someone coming on a motorbike so I curl up in a ball and hope they don't see me.

I hear the motorcycle stop and turn off. I hear footsteps walking up the steps and I feel someone sit down beside me.

I look up and to my surprise it was...

Jughead POV

After I went to Pops I got on my motorcycle and went to school.

I pulled up into my parking spot and walked in with my helmet under my arm.

I walk in the door and go to class considering I am 20 minutes late already.

I walk into class and all eyes are on me. The teacher just rolls his eyes while I smirk at sweet pea and fangs and they snicker.

I sit down beside fangs and he nudged me. "What are you late for this time?" He says "i slept in and went to Pops" I reply while clicking my pen.

*4 hours later

School was over and I was riding home but there was traffic so I decided to take a short cut.

I drove under this tunnel and to my surprise I saw the girl from this morning curled up in a ball.

I stoped my motorbike, hopped off and walked up the steps to where she was.

I sit beside her and she looks up.

Our eyes meet and we both get lost in them me getting lost in her emerald green eyes that I could look in forever.

Betty POV

When I look up I see the guy from this morning I look straight into his eyes and instantly get lost in them, his blue sea eyes they are so beautiful.

"H-hi" is all I'm able to manage to get out.

"Hey, are you ok do you have a place to stay" he asks. "Me? Yea yea totally I'm fine" I lie once again.

"Oh yea where?" He asks concerned.

"Um the sisters of quiet mercy but I escaped from there so here" I say looking down at my feet.

He looks shocked "come on let's go" he says getting up and putting out his hand to take.

"Where, it's raining and I am fine?" I reply.

"No your not, you freezing, probably sick and you need to warm up late go please, let me help you" he said pleadingly.

I think about it for a minute "fine but I don't want to intrude" I said a bit shyly. "I promise your not come on" he said still having his hand out for me to take.

I take it and he smiles and I do the same, we go down the steps and I get on the back of his motorcycle and he gives me his helmet. I wrap my hands around his chest and we drive off.
