A Walk To Remember

What To Do?

JUGHEAD POV

I drove all the way to Centerville. It was a couple hours away but it was worth it. I pulled into the rich neighborhood and looked at all of the mansions. My deadbeat dad lives here now. I pulled in front of his house and turned my car off. I got out of my car and ran all the way to his front door.

"Dad! Open the door!" I yelled and banged on the door. "Please!" I shouted again. I banged on the door again but there was no answer. I scoffed and began to walk back to my car. I heard the door open behind me and I turned around. Dad was standing on the porch in his pajamas. He seemed very confused on why I was there.

"Jug, what's wrong? Is everything ok?" Dad asked.

"It's my girlfriend, Betty...she has cancer. I need you to come and see her right now!"

"Jughead-" Dad sighed.

"Dad! Can you help me?!" I cried out. I needed him right now more than anything.

"I don't know! I'd have to talk to her doctor and see what they say. I'm just a Pulmonologist-" Dad shook his head. I scoffed and shook my head.

"I shouldn't have come here. I knew you couldn't help." I groaned. I began to walk to my car and I heard Dad yelling for me. I ignored him and just got in my car. I turned the car on and just drove off. Betty is dying. I don't know how much time she has left and it's so scary. I love her so much.

I got a hard lump in my throat and my eyes started to burn. I had this horrible chest pain and my gut felt like it was getting ready to be ripped out. I felt just a couple tears run down my face. It didn't take long for me to burst into tears. I was crying really hard as I just drove on the empty road. There was just so much pain. That's all I remember about that night...pain.
