Jughead's POV

I rubbed my eyes tiredly and ringed the doorbell. It's been a few days since Veronica was rushed to the hospital. Today Betty went to Cheryl's house for some project or something, but Cheryl called me and told me to come pick up Betty immediately.

I ring the doorbell again. It's about to be midnight and I'm extremely tired. Cheryl finally opened the door.

"There you are! What took you so long?" Cheryl asked

"Where's Betty?" I asked.

She let me come in and we went upstairs to her room. Betty was jumping on her bed like crazy.

"Cheryl is she drunk?" My voice raised.

"She was stressed! I thought alcohol would calm her down!"

"How does alcohol calm someone down?" I made my way over to Betty.

"Betty"

She looked at me and gasped. "JUGGY!!!" She threw herself on to me and wrapped her legs around my waist.

I started blushing. "Betty calm down" I whispered in her ear.

After I'd say 20 minutes I was finally able to get Betty outside. Today I didn't bring my motorcycle. Instead I used my dad's car.

"Juggy!!!! Where are you taking me!!!?" She asked groaning.

"I'm taking you home"

"I want to go to your house! My Mom went on vacation with Edgar and they won't be back until next week. PLEASE Jug stay with me!!" She put her hand on my thigh and begged.

I started the car and tried to hide my red face.

Betty was quiet for most of the ride. When we arrived at her house she started talking again.

"Jughead, can we stay here for a couple Of minutes?" She asked.

I sighed, "Yeah"

"You know, you are a such a good person, any girl would be lucky to date you" she smiled.

Fuck. Her smile. It's the one thing that gets me. I gulped and she kept talking.

"You're so nice, you're so cute, I would totally date you, but you probably just think of me as a friend"

Wrong. I don't. I like her. I have strong feelings for her and for her only.

"Juggy? Would you ever kiss me?" She asked.

I stared into her eyes for a bit. The way she calls me by my nickname makes my heart beat super fast. She smiled again and I could feel my hands shake with nervousness.

"W-would you ever kiss m-me?" I stuttered.

"Yes" she started giggling.

An idea came to my head. I was trying to push it away but it stayed. I know that I really want to do this, and I'm going to, now.

"Betty, I'm about to do something kind of crazy, do you think you're gonna remember it tomorrow?" I needed an answer. I didn't care if she remembered it or not.

"I don't know" she responded, her voice still loopy.

Whatever.

I put my hand on her cheek and pulled her face in. Our lips crashed and didn't move away. We started moving in sync just for a couple of seconds. I pulled away and looked at her.

I cleared my throat. "I'll take you inside"

I brought her inside her house and tucked her in bed. She didn't say anything but her face was red, really red.

I drove home smiling to myself. I looked like an idiot, smiling while driving, but I did it. I kissed her.
