"Mrs cooper thanks for this
"Well someonebodys gotta look after you
"I have my dad
"I know archie but you don't have a mother present
Door opens Betty enters
My heart flutters a bit just knowing she's in the same room as me without mr lodges unexpected interruptions.
"Hey mom.... I
"Betty Archie just tripped and hurt his head I was just stitching him up but since your back can you carry on
I didn't actually trip someone actually punched me
"I'm actually....
"Great I need to head to the office
Alice slams door shut. It's just me and her now, I can finally tell her what I've been dying to
Betty picks up the needle and thread to come closer to stitch me
"So. I say
"I'm not really the doctor in the family so sorry if this turns weirdly odd
I laugh which makes her smile
"I'm sure you'll do perfect after all you are Betty Cooper
"Yea I am aren't I? We laugh together again
As she's stitching the aside of my forehead our eyes lock for a fee seconds but honestly it felt like eternity there was no movement between us until I tried to lean forward towards her lips but then the needle fell
"Em your actually all stitched up
She picks up the needle and tries her best to leave
"Betty.... we need to
She interrupts me
"Here's the bandage I think you can do that yourself..
Our hands touch
"I'm gonna go to my room, you can see yourself out arch
There goes that nickname again arch
"Betty wait
As she's about to walk up the stairs I grab her arm and pull her into me I'm about to kiss her but the door opens and Alice cooper arrives and we break quickly from our position like it never happened
"Ah archie your all patches up
"Yea thanks again mrs cooper I'll see myself out
Archie leaves
