(Betty's POV)
It was a regular day. My boyfriend Archie and I have been going strong for a year, However my best friend Jughead Jones has not been talking to me lately. Come to think of it he hasn't been talking to me since I told him Archie and I were dating. He has been avoiding me and not responding to my texts. Archie was never really fond of Jughead and wanted me to stop being friends with him cause Archie considers him a freak which of totally not true. This led to our biggest fight we had in our relationship.
I miss Jughead a lot. He was always there for me when my family wasn't in in the best place. He and I have a common thing with messed up family's. His mom left with his younger sister and my dad left me and my mom with Polly for another women. My mom then took to drinking and me and Jughead spent more time together. Jughead dad FP was the best father I have every meet. He was there for Jug and though he did have a drinking problem he stopped to take care of Jughead. He always called me Mini Cooper. I miss him and Jug so much.
Jughead and his dad live on the Southside of Riverdale aka the bad part of town with drugs, gangs, and kidnappings. I had to talk with Jughead. I waited till my mom was passed out on her bed and went to my window. I used the ladder Fred left there when he fixed it. Once I was down I walked to the Southside. I remember where the Jones men lived so I knew where I was going. Once I was on the Southside I stated to run to their trailer cause I was scared of the Southside. Once I was there I knocked on the door. It was kinda late but I new Jug never went to bed before midnight. The door was answered by a shirtless Jughead. I forgot how cute he looked scratch cute he was hot. He dark hair, muscular stomach, he gorgeous eyes. Oh shit was I in love with him.
"Betty what are you doing here so late it's dangerous." He said worriedly. "I came to see you, may I come in." I ask hoping he would agree. He nodded his head and moved aside. I walked into the small living room and sat down on the couch and he sat next me after locking the door back. " Betty you need to go back home. It's not safe here with me." He said trying to convince me to go home. " Juggie I miss you." I said. "You and I have not hung out or even spoke since Archie and I stared dating." I say. He looks away when I mention Archie's name. Then It hit me.
" Juggie" i say and put my hands on his face making me look me in my eyes. "Do you love me?" I ask. "Of corse I love you we're best friends." He says "no I man do you actual feelings for me." I say firmly. "What does it matter." He said standing up. "You never loved me and here I am, been in love with you ever since I meet you, and You only see me as a friend." He says sadly. "Why did you never tell me." I ask. "Because you are with your perfect man. The star of the football team, popular, good looking, has money." He says loudly. "And I'm nothing but trailer trash destined to be like my father. Alone, broke, and unloved." He said not looking at me.
I was silent. Then I got up and ran to him and put my hands and his face. "Betts what are you doi-" I interrupt him by kissing him. It felt different then Archie, better. His lips were soft yet rough. It was filled with so much passion. He kissed me back. It was the best kiss I have had. He pulled back with a sly smirk on his face. " what about carrot head." "Shut up" i say kissing him again. He picked me up and walked me to his room and slamed the door shut. That night was filled with more passion and love than I have felt in over a year. He was my first and I was proud of that. We slept in each other's arms never wanting to let go.
I woke up before Jughead. I was happy for the first time in a while. Archie made me happy but not in a romantic way like a boyfriend should but rather in a friendship way. I love Jughead I was so stupid not to realize it sooner. I was admiring him, he was such a cute sleeper. "It's rude to stare." I hear in a sleepy deep voice. " I wasn't starring I was admiring. "Betts we need to talk." He says seriously. Oh God did he regret what we did. "O-ok" I say nervously. " Betts I did not regret last night if that's what you think." He said as I let a quick sigh of relief. "But you still have a boyfriend." He says. "Well what if I want a new one." I say smiling and give him a quick kiss. We get dressed and head to school. Thankfully we have free period first so we did not miss anything.
We arrived smiling and holding hands. We walk to the lounge and meet an angry faced Archie. "Betty what the hell are you doing with him." Archie says trying to grab my to pull me away from Juggie. Thankfully Jug held me tight. " Archie we have to talk." I say " yeah you think where were you this morning. I walked over to your house to walk you to school and no Betty." He says ticked. "I was with Jughead, look Archie I don't love you that way you think I do. I released that the man I really Love was Jughead, I'm sorry but we're threw." I say. He then slapped me hard across my face. I was shocked but before I could say anything Jughead had him down on the floor beating the shit out of him. I pulled of Jughead and some raven haired girl pulled off Archie. "Archie you had no reason to to that because you have been cheating on Betty for three months now with the new chick." I herd my friend Kevin say.
" You cheated on her and she cheated on you." I wasn't super surprised Archie was cheating on me He was super distant but I didn't mind. "That still doesn't change the fact that she's a slut and cheated off me with Southside thrash. "Hold up there carrot top, you can insult me, my home, even my family but NO ONE TALKS TO BETTY LIKE THAT." Jughead yells." She is the best person on this planet you where too stupid to realize that. She is everything and you are nothing and if I EVER hear you say something like that again I will rip your arms off and shove them down your throat." Jughead then grabbed me and we left the school.
We got into his bike and as I wrap my arms around him I say " wow I have never seen you that fired up before, it was pretty hot." He just smirked at me as we drove back to the Southside after picking up pops for brunch
