Betty POV

I've been sitting with Jughead for the past 2 weeks. I guess he ended up getting shot twice. One inches away from his heart and another that didn't go deep enough to hit his heart.

"What are you thinking about, love?" Jug asked me. "God it's all my fault.." I whisper. "Betty.." "No! It is! If I hadn't gone to your school, and got on the motorcycle, YOU wouldn't be like this!" I yell, slamming myself back into the chair, my fingers scrunching my hair.
"How the hell are we- am I gonna pay off your medical bill?!" I slam my foot onto the ground. "Betty.." i look up. "This is none of your fa-" "STOP PROTECTING ME! WE BOTH KNOW THAT YOUD BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT ME!" I scream.
His face got sad and serious. "No no no no no.. Betty... hey.. it's not your fault.."
He says. "YEAH IT FUCKING IS! I'm a terrible person.. your better off with Toni.. not me..." I cry, getting up and hugging him. "I'm so sorry.." I cry into his shoulder. "But I love you so so much.. Betty.. if you left me then I'd really be hurt.." he sighed and I pulled myself together. "Cuddles..?" I ask in a baby voice. "Always." He says pulling me into the bed. "How did I get so lucky..?" I ask him. "Mm?" He asks. "How did I get so lucky to have you. You always treat me right. You're always there for me. You love me. I love you. Fate brought us together.." I whisper into his ear. "Now Betty, I'm still in the hospital, when I get out I'm all yours." He whispers back. "Ugh." I groan "that's gonna be a long while thoughhh" I whine. "I promise you my love if you wait..." "Done!"

"Betty.. I need you in the hallway." My mother says. "Okay mom. See you soon Jug." I kiss him and get up and follow her out to the hallway. "Okay... so.. jugheads father got locked up for murder.. which you can only tell him when he's in a good state.. so I'm leaving you in charge to go and live with him for a bit, just to take care of him.." My mother said. I was at a loss of words.

"Okay.." is all I could say before walking back in, wiping a tear from my face. "I'm moving in with you for a bit." I say, climbing back under the sheets and cuddled him. "What..? why..?" He asks. I was in shock. I got up. "You don't want me to..?" I sigh. "I.." my nose started to flare. "What's wrong..? Why do you have to move in with me for a bit? I mean.. you already kinda are..." I sigh. "Because my mom told me something that I can't tell you till later." "Come back over here baby! I never said you could leave!" He whined. "Okay okay!" I say getting back under the covers. "I work better as a little spoon." I say as I kiss him. "Yeah.. But I'd rather kiss you than spoon you."  I gently put my hands on his face and kiss him. "Can I see your wounds..?" He sigh and moved his hospital outfit over to the side, revealing the gun shot wounds, stitched up. I stared at them and silently cried. "You don't deserve this pain.." I say, cuddling up to his chest.

"Miss Cooper.. the hospital bill." The doctor says as she hands me the bill. I opened it slowly. My jaw dropped. "How Bad is it..?" He asks. I get up and go outside. My mom went home. Nobody was outside, so I slid down into one of the waiting room chairs. I kept reading it over to myself over, and over, and over again.

After I pull myself together, I wipe my tears away and shove the envelope in my purse. I walk back in and see Toni. "What the hell are you doing, talking to my man, Bitch?!" I yell walking right up to her. "I'm.." I slap her. "I don't care anymore. Get the hell out." I yell and she runs out. "Betty.. that's was unnecessary.." he slowly says "She was just about to.." "Oh so now your defending her?! Wow. Okay then you go ahead and defend her all you want. I'm leaving. Call me if you need me." I say, raiding my voice and storming out.  "Betty.. PLEASE!" I stopped. That please. It had hurt in it. He was hurting, and I was making it worse. "I can't keep hurting you.." I whisper. "If you leave.. you will break me.." he whispers. I slowly turn around and walk towards him. "Are you sure I won't just cause more damage?" I ask  cautiously. "Just stay with me.." he whispers with so much hurt and desperation, he even had tears to his eyes. "Jug.. what's wrong..?" I say, walking over to him and leaning over. "I don't want to be alone.." he whispers and pulls me on top of him. " you can't sleep right here on me, or next to me, I prefer on, but that's just me."I giggle "your hospital room is cold!" I tease him and climb under the sheets. "You have no idea.. how much I love you.." I whisper. And fall asleep on top of him.
