Distance won't break us~ A Bughead Story

Part 7- L word

(10pm)

Jug's pov:

"I don't want to leave tomorrow" Betty whines as we walk into the living room. "I know" I sigh. Veronica and Archie don't know about our relationship but we are planning on telling them soon. "Morning" Veronica smiles. "Morning" I murmur. "What are we going to do today?" Betty asks quietly. "Day at home I guess" Archie says with a sad tone. "This sucks" Betty pouts. "Can I talk to you for a second?" I ask Betty. She stands up and follows me upstairs. We sit down on my bed and I can see that she wants to cry. Since she is so tiny I pick her up and place her in my lap. "I don't want to go" She tears up. "Its going to be okay, baby" I sigh. "I can't hug you, I can't kiss you, I can't do anything" She says as tears stream down her face. I turn her around so she is straddling me and then softly push her head into my shoulder. "We will see each other soon" I say. "A whole term, Juggie" She sobs. "I know" I sigh. "I just want to stay" She pleads. "I know, baby, I know" I say as I kiss the top of her head. "I don't want to leave you" She quietly whimpers. "Bub, everything is going to be okay, we will make this work, I promise" I say softly. "Please don't make me go" She cries. "Bub" I sigh. "I want to stay, please let me stay" She sobs as she tightens hers arms and legs around me. "Your not leaving till tomorrow, we have time" I say as I kiss her head. "Can you come with me" She begs. "Bub, I have school" I say. "No!" She cries louder. "I can't" I sigh. "You can, you can" She sobs. I slowly pick her up and go to lay her on the bed. "No, don't leave me!" She shouts as she grips into me. "I'm not, baby, I'm not" I say so I lie her down and then lay next to her. She immediately grips onto my shirt and I'm sure she is never going to let go. 

(12pm)

"Uh, guys" Archie whispers as he pokes his head in. "shhh, she's sleeping" I whisper. "Can we talk to you alone downstairs?" He asks. I nod and gently move out of Betty's arms. I quickly place a kiss on top of her head and then walk downstairs to find Archie and Veronica leaning against the counter top in the kitchen. "What's up?" I ask. "I'm worried about Betty" Veronica says quietly. "What, why?" I ask. "We heard her yelling, Jug" Archie says. "She just doesn't want to go" I Half lie. "She has told you about  her mental health problems, right" She says. "What, no, tell me right the hell now" I snap. "Its not my place" She sighs. "Veronica, if you don't tell me right the hell now I swear to g-". "She has severe anxiety which includes separation anxiety and she used to have depression, have you really never seen the moon creases on her palms?" Veronica states. "Fuck" I mutter and then run upstairs. "Jughead!" Veronica shouts. I push the door open and grab her hands. As Veronica said, Moon creases which look fresh. "Fuck" I practically shout. "Juggie?" She whispers as she grabs my shirt. "Y-your h-hands" I stutter. She quickly closed her palms trying to cover them. "H-how" She mumbles. "Is the distance going to affect you?" I ask. "How do you know all this!" She yells as she sits up. "Baby, answer me" I say sternly. "You don't know shit!" She yells as she jumps out of the bed and then runs out of the bedroom. "Betty!" I yell and run after her. "Veronica, what did you tell him!" She screams at V. "Betty, stop" Veronica says. "I didn't want him to know, V" She says as tears stream down her face. "Betty, he needed to know" She sighs. "He didn't!" She cries out and starts sobbing. "Betty, come here" I sigh. "No, leave me alone" She sobs. "Betty, come here" I repeat but a bit stricter. She slowly walks over to me and then wraps her small arms around my torso. "I'm sorry" I say as I kiss the top of her head. "I'm a mess" She sobs. "Your not a mess" I whisper to her. "Up" She mumbles. I pick her up and she wraps her legs around my torso. "We'll leave you two alone" Veronica mouths and walks upstairs with Archie. I sit on the couch with her still him my arms and try to calm her down. After around 5 minuets I speak up. "Do you want to tell me?" I ask softly. She nods but keeps her head on my shoulder. "I have always had anxiety I used to have panic attacks at school so I would always go home early". I hate this so much "I never had many friends because everyone thought I was a crying freak". My heart breaks. "In the end I never wanted to leave my Mom's side and that's when my separation anxiety kicked in, I recovered but still have nightmares and I still dig my nails into my palms but not to the point where they bleed" She says. "B-bleed" I stutter. "Yeah" She murmurs. "Self harm" I say in shock "Mm" She hums. "Betty, no, hell no" I say still in shock. "Don't leave me, I'm sorry, I'll stop, please" She begs as tears prick at her eyes. "Baby, I'm not ever going to leave you" I say as I hug her tighter. "I'm going too get it again..." She says quietly. "Get what?" I ask. "Separation anxiety" She murmurs. "Baby" I sigh. "I can't be without you" She mumbles. "You can, you did before" I say. "Well, I can't now" She snaps. "I'm sorry" I sigh. She nuzzles her head into the crook of my neck and I'm assuming thats her way of saying 'I'm sorry'. 

Betty's pov:

I can legitimately not be without him. Never in my life would I have ever thought I could be so consumed in an individual, but here I am, In their arms, his arms. "Juggie" I whisper. "Mm" He hums. "Come with me" I beg. "I wish I could" He says. "I'm being serious, come with me" I say. His head shoots my direction and I can see the heartbreak in his eyes. "Baby, you know I can't" he sighs. "Why, just come" I say. "My family is here and don't forget I'm only 16" He chuckles. I pout at him and then look down. "But I will visit every chance I get" He says as he raises my chin. I place my lips onto his and as per usual he deepens the kiss. I completely straddle him and then run my hands through his hair while he cups my face and twirls a stand of my hair. "Holy fuck!" A  girl squeals; Veronica. I push Jughead back and jump off his lap. "Archie, get me my money right the hell now!" She yells. Archie comes in with a confused look on his face until he looks at Jughead's face which was smeared in pink lipstick. "Really, bro, really, You couldn't have just held on till next time" Archie groans as he opens his wallet. "I can't believe I witnessed your first kiss!" Veronica says as she jumps onto a chair. "Well" Jug says. "Oh my god, that wasn't your first kiss, wasn't it" V says in complete shock. "It's like our 30th kiss" Jughead smirks proudly. "Shut up" I say as I slap his chest. He chuckles and then pulls me into his lap. "I ship, I ship, I ship!" V screams as she jumps up and spins round in circles. My face goes completely pink as Jug starts kissing my neck. "I'm just gonna go fangirl in a corner" V says and then runs upstairs. "I'm just gonna- yeah bye" Archie says and then runs. "Well that was fun" Jug smirks. "No it wasn't!" I yell and then grin. He picks me up and somehow turns me around to straddle him. "What?" I ask. "Can I be serious with you?" He asks. "Yeah, of course" I say and I feel my heart sinking. "I know we have only known one another for like a month or so but...". 'Fuck'. "I love you". "What?" I ask. "I-I l-love y-you" He stutters. "Wait, really!?" I ask. "I love you" He chuckles. "I love you!" I squeal and then kiss him hardly. "They said 'I love you'!!!!" Veronica screams from upstairs and we can tell she is jumping because we can hear the thumping. I giggle in the kiss and then break it so I can laugh. "I really love you" He smiles. "I really love you, Juggie" I smile back.
