I Need You

Trigger Warning ⚠️

Also this is really emotional. 

Betty's POV

Everyday, Jughead and I drift further and further away from each other. He's at work 24/7 and barely makes time for me. Today is our 4 year anniversary which I'm hoping he can make. I made dinner and set up the table and then went to go get ready. I sat in the dining room waiting for Jug. *Phone Rings* "Hey Juggiee" I smile to myself. "Hey Betts, I uh. I won't be able to make it home by 7 like you asked. I'm sorr-" I hung up. I threw my phone across the room and started sobbing. This happened every night. I barely even see him. All he made time for was the Serpents. Serpents, Serpents, Serpents. Why hadn't I been enough for him? Why haven't I told anyone? 

Well, I've got to tell you, I have thought of it. Every day. But I don't want to be a burden to him. Because I love him. But maybe he doesn't love me. Or maybe he loves someone else. Betty understood he had a job to be the Serpents King but couldn't he spare a few hours away from the Whyte Wyrm? To be with the person who didn't say anything and support him? She needed a distraction from Jughead. Maybe one day, he would be at home without her and he would feel how she felt, lonely. 

*Dials Number* "Betty? What can I get you? A milksha-" Pop Tate asked. I cut him off "Pop I was wondering if you had a day shift open?"  I asked nervously. "Well, of course. But Betty, the only shift we have left is 6am-9pm so if you're no-" I cut him off once again. "Perfect! When do I start Pop?" I grinned. "Well, you can start now for an afternoon shift. We pay $250 a week and a $600 month. You get all your money at the end of the month." He said. "I'll be right there!" I exclaimed. He ended the call and I jumped around. I finally had a distraction. 

Jughead's POV

The Serpents have been in a really bad situation these past few months. I decide to take the rest of the day off and go spend time with Betty. I get to the house and she's exiting. "Betts!" I walk up to her and hug her, well attempt to. She pushes me away. I scoff. "What is wrong with you? I'm trying to be a good boyfriend and hug you but you aren't being a great girlfriend" I exclaim. "WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME? THE FACT THAT YOU DON'T SPEND ANY TIME WITH ME. YOU DON'T EVEN CARE ME." She screams, I'm taken aback. "You don't care." She whispers like it's the truth to herself. "Well sorry that I work so we can get money. While you sit in the house doing nothing but mope because I'm not there?! The Serpents are in a bad place right now and you can't be supportive!" I scoff. "What happened to you Jug-Jughead. It's like you can't see me. Whenever I see you with the Serpents you act I'm invisible or you don't know me. Why? Do I not mean enough to you or am I too embarrassing for you to be around? I fell in love with the Jughead who loved me. Or did you lie to me about that too? You used to be able to see right through me. You're not the Jughead who would bring me ice cream when I was on my period and I had killer cramps. What happened? When did you fall out of love? I need you." She sobs. 

Betty's POV

I can't do it anymore. "That Jughead died when he joined the Serpents." He chuckled. Is this funny to you?" I cry. "Kind of yeah." He burst into fits of laughter. I wipe my tears and walk up to him. "Goodbye Jughead Jones. I love you." I kiss him. I pull away and get into the car. I drive to Sweet Water River, where I would end it all. *Dials Phone* "Pop, I quit. But I believe this is the way for me. Tell my friends I love them and to come to Sweet Water Bridge and go to my camera roll on my phone." I hang up. I go to my camera and press record. "Hey Vee. I'm so sorry that I resorted to this. You were my best friend and I hope you find a new best friend that won't leave you. I love you Veronica Lodge. With all my heart. Until we meet again." I end the recording. *Starts a new one* "Hey Arch. I can't use words to explain why but I'm so sorry. You were my best friend. You helped me through everything. Please don't give up and do what I'm doing. But for now, I'm okay. I love you Archie Andrews." *Ends recording then starts new one* 

"Juggie. I don't know why you stopped loving me and when but I never did once, fall out of love. Words can't explain how sorry I am. How sorry I am for making you realise that I was a horrible person. It was only a matter of time. I wanted to grow old and have kids with you but now that's not possible. I'm sorry for making you realise that I wasn't and will never be enough for you. That is why I'm not with you anymore. For you. So you can live a happy life without a dead weight burden to carry around with you. You always saw the best in me and I honestly couldn't ask for more. I get that you have Serpent work but sometimes I wish you did love me. I wish that I was worth enough to you that you would spend time with me. I'm sorry for not acting supportive enough to you and your serpents. I just didn't want to be seen as a burden by you. But I realised that I was always a burden. I want you to go be free in the world. Find a girlfriend who isn't a waste of your time like I was. Just don't let go. Jughead Jones.. I am so fucking sorry. I love you. You loved me. Now you hate me. Don't you." I sob. "Thank you for the best 4 years of my life." I end the recording.

Yall please don't ever think suicide is the right answer. Think about the people you'd hurt by doing it. I love you. So much <3
