Jughead POV

Before going to my trailer we make a stop at pops."You hungry" I ask. "Oh no I'm fine" she says but I can here her stomach begging for food.

"What do you want? Same as this morning" I ask and she just replies with a smile that makes my heard beat like 10 times faster.

We walk into Pops hand in hand still and we sit in a booth.

We sit there reading each other's eyes and face. I was about to say something but I was cut off by a waiter."what would you two like?" He asks with a smile. "I would like 3 burgers fries and a chocolate milkshake please." After I order and he takes it down he looks at betty. "And you ms?" She giggles at the ms part but I don't know why "I would like 2 burgers fries and a strawberry milkshake" the same order that I got her this morning I just smirk at that.

I sit there smiling at her and she just blushes which makes me blush. "I see you got the same order as this morning Betts" I say smiling "yes I did and thank you so much for that I probably would have died without it" I was thinking of it as a joke but she was dead serious. "It's ok whatever you need I am here for you"

Betty POV

I smile at that and I lean across the table and kiss his cheek. "Thank you" I reply giving him a warm loving smile.

The food comes 2 minutes later as we were talking about random things. We say thank you and start eating. Still taking about random things then he starts up a new Conversation. "So betty how long have you been in riverdale well I know that you just got here but did you live here before" he asked sounding interested. "actually no I lived in greendale but I don't really remember much only... never mind but I was in with the sisters for 6 years I am 15 now and now I am here" I replied.

"Now that you know a bit about me what about you Jughead" I ask but also realizing that I have not told him my name. "Well... what's you name?" He asked chuckling. "Betty-Betty Cooper" after I said my name his eyes went wide and filled with worry. "Wha-wh-what h-Ho-how is that p-possible" he said stuttering. "What do you mean how is that possible? Jug are you ok?" I asked sounding worried now.

"We have to get to my dad, let's go I will tell you when we get there" he said putting money on the table.sliding out of the booth,taking my hand and we walked out of the door.

We drove to this bar hat had a sign that said "the white worm" whatever that was. We enter and we are still holding hands and he brings me up to a counter where their is a girl with brown hair with pink ends. "Her Toni did you see my dad it need to see him it's an emergency" he said. "I think he is in his office what's wrong, is everything ok? Who is the blondie?is she your girlfriend?" She kept asking questions but just didn't answer a single one all he said was "I'll fill you in later" and he walks me to an office knocks on the door and walks in.

"Dad there is someone you should finally meet" he says a bit nervously. "Who's this?" He asks with a warming smile but not as warm as jugs. Wait no betty your not falling for him you can't.

"Hi I'm Betty Cooper" I ask and his smile drops the same way jugs did. "Do you guys hate my name or??" I ask laughing. "No it's just... you should take a seat" the man said.

I sit down next to jug and he starts talking. "Well Betty I am FP and I was looking in on adopting you from the sisters of quite mercy and the day I was meant to meet you they said you... you killed yourself" I was left there shocked.

"Well I don't know what sick game there are trying to play but I escaped and they probably didn't want people to know it was easy to escape even though it wasn't. Anyway I escaped and I was in the woods for I don't know how many days the day I escaped was the 20th of October what's the date now?" "The 23rd of October,Betty we need to get you to a doctor you were in there for 3 days" Jug says and I sit there in shock.

We all walk out of the office and leave the bar and get in FP's truck. It's 7pm and we go to the doctors we are sitting in the waiting room and they call out "Betty Cooper".We walk in and sit down FP and Jug sit in the chairs and I sit on the bed.

"So betty why are you here today?" He asks softly. "Well I spent 3 nights in the woods and I don't know if I coughs anything" I answer truthfully. "Ok is it ok if we take some blood to check out and then you come back in around 2 days and we will give you the right medicine" I was like any kid scared of needles but I lived with them every day something got put in me so I just handled it.

When the needle went in I grabbed Jughead hand and squeezed it tightly. He just smiled and FP smirked. "Shut up" I just said while squeezing it tighter.

After what felt like hours the needle was finally out "all done" the doctor said while putting a plaster on my arm where the needle went in.

"Ok Betty so I will send these out and will give your father a call" my eyes widen and FP just chuckles and jug just smirks. "Thank you" FP says and we walk out and once we leave we start laughing.

Once we arrived to the trailer FP goes to set up my bed and me and jug sit on the couch. "Jug?" "Mh" he just mumbles and I giggle. "Why did you help me? You could have kept driving but you didn't you stopped. Why?" I ask looking strait at him.

He looks up "because I am not loveless like some people think I am. I have feelings and I do care about people. Also you looked so sweet and even when I took a glimpse at you it broke my heart seeing you like that" I just smile and cuddle up to him. "You not loveless you know that right? Even tho I just met you your the most sweet, amazing , handsome and kind person I know" he replies by kissing my hair softly and filled with love.
