Bughead One shots

He was nowhere to be found

Betty P.O.V

It was currently 10pm and i was sitting on the couch of mine and jug's apartment, waiting for him to come home. He said he will be home at 8 but he never came. I made dinner for him, making his favourite dish but he was nowhere to be found. This was not the first time that he was late. It's been going on since this week. I don't understand this really. When we shifted here, everything was nice. He came home at time. We would cuddle and watch our favourite movies and snuggle in sleep.

But since this week he is coming home late and I'm already in bed. When i woke up in morning, he is not beside me. Just a note on the nightstand,

“Early work, love you
                             -Jug ”

I have been digging my nails in my palms since a thought which never leaves my mind. what if he have found someone else? What if he would leave me to be with someone who is more beautiful than me. I don't know what will i do after that. I can't live without him. I love him with all my heart and soul.

The door lock clicked open and it revealed him. The lights were off so he can't see me. I heard him throwing keys on table and turning the lights on. His back was facing me when he switch the button on and then turned around.

“Gosh Betty You Scared Me” He said breathing faster while holding his chest with his one hand. I rolled my eyes and stood up. “Where were you?” I asked as i crossed my arms. “Um.. working at office.  Is there any problem?” He said coldly and went to kitchen. I curled my fingers feeling my nails digging inside my palm. It was holding me not to burst out in crying. “There's so much problem in it.” i mumbled and ofcourse he heard it.
“what was that?” He asked as he came closer to me. That was it. It was time to explode. I looked up to meet his eyes. Mine were covered in tears. His expression changed. There was worrying and caring in his eyes. He tried to touch my shoulder but i pushed them away.

“Dont you try to touch me. Where the hell were you from this past week. When i ask you ‘where you were’ then you reply ‘is there a problem’. A PROBLEM!!! THERE IS SO MUCH PROBLEM IN IT. Jughead we haven't seen eachother in days. You go early in morning and come home late. You have left me no other option to think that you might me cheating on me. I trust you though but this....THIS DOESN'T LET ME GET THAT THOUGHT OUT OF MY MIND.”

I yelled and covered my mouth as I sobbed. I started to cry harder as my anxiety was rising up. My other hands fingers were curled and it was shaking because of the pressure I was applying on it. It took only 5 sec for him to wrap his arms around me. There was no point of fighting back so I cried in his chest. I felt his hand on mine curled fingers, slowly opening them and holding them with his. We stayed for 10min there, him holding me. My breathing was back to normal and now we were just hugging each other no saying anything.

But then he broke the silence.

“Betts I'm sorry” He said still hugging me. “ I know what I was doing was wrong but.... ” He then pulled away and looked in my eyes, “I was not cheating on you. I could never because I love you so much. The reason I was away from you was that I was finding a gift for you. I thought I will give some other day but I think it's time...... ” He said and I was confused. It wasn't my birthday or anything then why he brought a gift for me. Then the next event happened, I couldn't believe my eyes.

He slowly went to his one knee and took my hand.

“Betts, the real reason I was away from you was that I was working overtime to earn more money to buy a beautiful ring for you. I love so much. I want to spend my whole live with you. I want to have kids with you. I see my future with you. So Betty Cooper will you marry me? ” He said and took out a velvet box from his pocket and opened it.

I was beyond happy. “ Yes Yes Yes!! ” I yelled with happy tears coming out from my eyes. He slip the ring in my ring finger and stood up. He pulled me to a sweet and loving kiss. We both were smiling in our kiss and rested our foreheads together to catch air.

“I'm sorry”  I whispered. He pulled away from resting. “Why? ” He asked worryingly. “I assumed that you were cheating on me. It was not good. I'm really sorry for that. ” He smiled and cupped my cheeks. “It's okay love. I love you” he said sweetly.

“I love you too”
