Betty's POV

Lost, I just feel lost. Nobody likes me, nobody cares about me. On school I just get bullied by the people. I get shot out. And I don't know if it's because I just came on school, but it's for sure because I'm deaf. I don't talk, what scares people. I don't hear the teachers, what scares them. Because they don't know what to do. I don't talk, what scares everyone. I don't communicate, because I only can communicate if I use sign language. So that is why I feel lost. I'm never gonna find someone besides my parents who cares about me. And sometimes I even doubt about it if my parents like me. They can't do sign language good. So they can't talk to me.
But on one day, someone came into my life who understood me. But he broke me.
I thought he understood me because he is deaf too. But no. Of course not. No one understands me. So, welcome to ten things I hate about you.

1. The look you gave me when you first met me, and realized I'm deaf too.

*flashback*
J: "Hey, do you know where the bathroom is?"
What is he saying? Concentrate on his lips. Bathroom. I gave him an i don't know look. He looked weird at me.
J: "You can't talk?"
I signed that I'm deaf, in sign language so he probably won't understand me but still.
J: "Your deaf?"
I nodded. He looked happy, and I don't know why.
J: "I'm deaf too, my name is Jughead Jones"
He signed it all out. So, finally someone who understands me?!
B signing: "Betty Cooper, can't talk, and won't talk ever."
J: "I talk, i was five when I became deaf."
Oh, that little sweet look. I think I'm already falling for him.

2. Your safe and warm arms.

*flashback*
I had a fight with my parents again. They didn't signed at all, they didn't even tried. I walked away crying. I didn't know where to go so I let my feet walking. They would decide where to go. And without even noticing. I was at Jughead's trailer. I've been here several times. We've became good friends.
I knocked on the door. Waiting till Jughead opens the door.
FP: "Wow, you don't have to knock so hard. Wait, who are you?"
His dad I guess. He will probably know sign language right?!
B signing: "I'm here for Jughead Jones, is he home?"
FP: "You're deaf too? Wait, I will call him."
He all signed it. Jughead came, he didn't know who was here, so he had a confused look on his face.
J: "Betty?!" I guess he saw me crying, because he immediately lent in and hugged me. A little confused I hugged him back. I felt safe, finally.

3. How your friends became mine.

*flashback*
Jughead and I were friends for a week now. And he tried to convince me to meet his friends. First day it didn't worked. But then he came with chocolates. And he convinced me. Saying he just brought it for fun. But I knew he didn't.
J: "Veronica, Archie this is Betty. She's also deaf and I guess she's new here."
V: "Hey I'm Veronica!" She signed, I wasn't expecting that.
A: "Hi I'm Archie!" He also signed. Wow.
B signing: "I'm Betty, nice to meet you two!"
J: "See" He signed it with his eyes, because we learned that too. A typical Jughead action.

4. I hate the way you make me laugh.

*flashback*
We were all sitting in a booth at Pops. Me, Veronica, Archie and Jughead. It was midnight and we just came home after a party of Cheryl. But we all didn't feel like going home, so instead we went to Pops. And now we're playing truth or dare.
A: "Jug, truth or dare?"
J: "Dare"
A: "I dare you to drink this milkshake in 10 seconds!"
J: "What?! You think I can't do that?"
V: "Well, give us some proof. I keep track of time!!"
Jughead started to drink.
V: "Ten! Stop!"
J: "Shoot."
A: "Said you couldn't do it!"
V: "Mmm, now we need to have a punishment."
A: "Throw the rest of your milkshake all over yourself!"
J: "What?! No, no I'm not gonna do that!"
V: "Come on!"
But before Jughead could grab his milkshake and do it. Archie threw the milkshake all over me and Jug.
B signing: "Come on! Now my parents won't let me in until I have other clothes."
J: "Come on! Have some fun!"
He threw a cookie to me and it landed in my eye. I threw it back and he catches it with his mouth.
B signing: "Geez" I signed while laughing.

5. I hate the way you kissed me before I could.

*flashback*
Jughead came right after I called him to my house. Another panic attack. Another panic attack after a fight with my parents. While I was walking around in my room, I heard a silent knock on my window. When I looked up I saw Jug. I opened the window as fast as I could. But it wouldn't work. I tried. And after five times it unlocked. Jughead climbed in while I was panicking around my room again. I was breathing heavily and fast. Jughead probably noticed because he came up to me and hugged me. When he pulled back he looked at me, I looked at his lips. I wanted to, but he was first. He placed a soft kiss on my lips. I kissed him back. And we kept kissing for what felt like an eternity.

6. I hate the way you fall asleep in my arms.

*flashback*
Jughead was sobbing in my shoulder. His dad was arrested for the murder of Jason Blossom. Right after he heard it, he came to me. I opened the door and I saw him, his eyes filled with tears. He fell into my arms and cried. I didn't know how we came to the couch, but I guess I lead him there. I don't know what time it is. But I only know he needs me. After around ten minutes I heard a snore coming out of my arms. Jug most have fallen asleep. I made myself comfortable, to go sleep as well. Lucky that my mom and dad aren't home tonight.

7. I hate the way I can sob into your arms, and making your shirt wet, but you don't care about that.

*flashback*
My dad is the black hood. My dad is the black hood. It finally came to my mind. He is the black hood. I sat up in bed. And looked next to me. Jughead must've fallen asleep when we talked. I got up from bed to go downstairs. I wanted to make a cup of coffee. While the coffee machine was making it. I thought about everything what happened this year. What is quite a lot. When my coffee was done I let it cool of for a little bit. I brought the cup to my mouth, but before I could take a sip I felt a pair of arms around my waist. Jug turned me to his face, and took the cup of coffee out of my hand.
J: "Way to early to drink coffee. What's going on?"
B signing: "Nothing. I just wanted some coffee."
J: "I can tell when there's something going on Betty."
That's when I broke down. I sobbed and I sobbed and I sobbed. Jug was just holding me. And I was just making his shirt wet with my tears. He knows I hate that. But he doesn't care.

8. I hate the way you start our fights.

*flashback*
I was waiting for Jughead to come back. He was away to his mother in Toledo for a few weeks. I missed him. But I am mad at him. He didn't respond to any call from me, nor to any message. So I thought I would wait for him in his trailer. His dad moved out a while ago. So I could be here without anyone noticing. Once I saw the door opening, I saw him.
J: "What are you doing here?"
B signing: "I came here to see if you're okay."
J: "Well, I'm fine so bye."
B signing: "Jughead? Why didn't you respond to my calls and messages?"
J: "Because I didn't want to."
B signing: "Wow, you're such a jerk. Do you know that?!"
I stormed out. Geez, he didn't want to?

9. I hate the way you said 'I love you' after our fight.

*flashback*
Jug came to my house. He said he's sorry. He explained why he did it. And I think I understand.
J: "Please forgive me Betty. I'm so sorry. I guess I'm just afraid to show my feelings. My feelings that I love you and everything."
B signing: "Hold up. You love me?!"
J: "Yeah, I do. So much."
B signing: "Oh my god."
J: "I'm sorry, I never should've said that."
B signing: "No Jug. I, I love you too."

10. But most of all. I hate the way I still love you. And that I miss you. I miss your fluffy little hair, and your little skinny legs. And I want you to come back. But you officially broke up with me. So I have no choice left to do. I guess, I better need to go. I need to move to Michigan. To Polly. Because she want me to. So goodbye Jughead. I will never forget you and your smile. And the ten things I hate about you.
What I'm gonna do with this list? I'm gonna leave it behind you, at your trailer. So you can read it in peace. And where I'm exactly going? I won't tell you. I won't tell anyone. Because, who cares? Not my parents, not people on school, not even you.

A/N: Sorry for this long ass chapter. I kinda like it, but also not. I'm inspired by a lot of people. Not one particular. Leave suggestions behind in the comments! Bye!
