Sickness And In Love

Friends

JUGHEAD POV

Betty and I got closer together and I was more chill doing my treatments. She bought me food that the hospital didn't provide, like Cheez-Itz and Nutella. She was still a pain in the butt about somethings though. She had been my own personal demon for 2-weeks now and deep down...I wasn't sick of her. It was almost October but it was Friday night and Archie always comes to the hospital on Fridays and usually spends the night.

"Jughead, do one breathing treatment!" Betty yelled.

"I'm not doing one! I legit did a treatment about an hour ago!" I replied.

"I know! Do another one and take your 4 evening pills! Jughead, please!"

"No!" I yelled at her. Archie came in the room with a bag and handed it to me. It was Chinese food and Archie brought "Jurassic Park" for us to watch.

"Fine, I'll leave you boys alone. Jughead, I still expect you to be taking your pills at least." Betty said and grabbed her bag.

"Wait, Betts!" I called out. She turned around and Archie glared at me.

"Do you wanna stay with us?" I asked. She smiled and nodded and sat down on the bed. We all ate our food and watched the movie. She fell asleep on my shoulder and Archie picked her up and set her on the couch in my room. I gave her one of my pillows and one of my blankets. I had Archie take her shoes off and she somehow stay away.

"Arch, where are you gonna sleep?" I asked. Archie sat at the chair in corner and smiled.

"It seems like you and Betty have the hots for each other."

"No way! We're constantly over everything! I pity the man that falls in love with her."

"If she bothers you about the I think I'm thinking of, it's only because she cares about you and wants you to live a happy life. We walk want that for you because you're a nice guy and every girl is gonna look at you ."

"I'll finally be the hot boy and not the boy in the oxygen tube!" I exclaimed. We laughed and I coughed a lot. I took deep breaths and had to drink a little water. Maybe my treatments weren't so bad after all.
