JUGHEAD POV
I woke up and I didn't see Betty. I walked into the kitchen to see her writing in her diary. I decided to make breakfast.
Jughead: where's dad?
Betty: He's at work.
Jughead: How long have you been up?
Betty: I've been up for 30 minutes.
Jughead: How do you wake up so early on a Saturday and in the middle of summer?
Betty: I have absolutely no idea.
She giggled.
Once I was done making breakfast we sat down at the table and ate.
BETTYPOV
We had breakfast and decided to watch a movie. Fp  walked in  for his lunch break and he walked I to the kitchen.
Fp: y'all have any time to talk?
Jughead: Yea.
We paused the movie. And Fp  started talking about the past and our relationship. We told him about the note and I went to get it. I came back with the note.
He read it and asked us if we read it. We said no.
Jughead: What did it say?
Fp: N-Nothing.
JUGHEAD POV
my dad said the note was nothing but I could tell it was definitely something. He gave me a look that said  I'll tell you later. I gave him a nod. Betty looked worried and zoned out. I noticed blood on my  hand and realized Betty was digging her nails into her palms. I tried to get her to stop without my dad noticing. He apparently noticed  because he asked what she was doing.
Jughead: She does it when she is stressed or angry.
Betty: How did you know that?
I smirked and she blushed.
We kept talking until dad had to go back to work. After he left we finished our movie. Betty was tired so she went to takenap a nap.
I decided to get takeout from Pop's  to suprise Betty. Once I  got the food I went home. Once I got home  i woke Betty up to see if she wanted to eat and she said no. I put her food in the fridge. My dad walked in.
Fp: Hey Jug, what was Betty doing earlier?
Jughead: Come with me.
I led him to the room. We went on Betty's side and I lifted up her sleeves to reveal the scars.
Once my dad examined  her scars we left.
FP: Did she say anything....about them?
Jughead: I asked her how many times and she said "at least  three times a week." I asked her why she did it and she said it was because or her past.
Fp: If she does it again  bandage them up. Okay?
Jughead: Okay.
I could tell he was thinking about something and it just made me curious.
Jughead: Dad, what are you thinking about?
Fp: I need to talk to you.
Jughead: Okay?!
Fp: Jug...do you love her?
Jughead: Yea, I do. Why?
Fp: Don't  freak out but...
Jughead: But what dad?
Fp: The only way for her to be safe is for you to break up with her.
