Destined to be mine

chapter 1

JUGHEAD POV

I'm an outsider looking in as usual. I have no friends except for my vintage underwood type writer. I watch every one while I bust my keys in a both at Pops drinking my cup of black coffee so I know about the toxic abusive relationship that my crush (aka. Betty Cooper) has gotten herself into. I feel so bad for her, I want to help her but she has known Archie Andrews since she was in kindergarten and it would break his and her parent's hearts. Every night I see her with him I see tears rolling down her face. I figured I will help her get out of this, make sure she is safe but I would have to wait for the perfect time and little did I know that would be tonight.

BETTY POV

The perfect girl next door that's who I am and I hate it. I hate my life. Everyone thinks my life is perfect that nothing is wrong but its not nothing is perfect everything is falling apart. I wish I could just curl up in a ball and die sometimes but lately I've found a way to help me relax to help me get through a typical day of school. It helps when I dig my nails into the palms of my hands. I know it's bad because my boyfriend Archie Andrews has slapped me for doing it sometimes, I don't blame him to be honest I'm a disgrace. My favourite distraction is my writing I write at the Blue and Gold at school when Archie allows me to it makes me feel free from my miserable life and not just the perfect girl next door. Today I didn't go to lunch because I wanted to finish off an article at the Blue and Gold and as I did, I got a text form Archie to meet him at Pops at 7pm tonight and I thought to myself oh shit I'm a dead girl walking.

I got to Pops at 7pm harp to see Arch sitting at a booth with his head in his hands. He looked fuming. I sighed and slowly walked towards him.

"How dare you do that to me?" he snapped.

"I-I needed to finish off an article for the Blue and Gold" I said looking down at the table as I saw blood dripping down from my palms and a small tear rolled down my face.

"Oh, for god sake I'm not buying the water works at the moment Betty" he growled in my face. I felt my breathing rapidly increase as I checked no one was watching us have this heated conversation as it was about to get worse.

"Well?" he yelled across the table.

I had by then finally decided to give him a piece of my mind "I'm sick of this Archie, sick of you treating me like a useless piece of shit. I've had enough why can't you just treat me like a normal person? Ever since we have been dating you have ignored me I don't think I've even smiled once in weeks god even months" by the time I said this he grabbed my hand and dragged me outside to the parking lot I had tears running down my face I looked around and almost everyone was looking at us giving me dirty looks like I'm the bad guy in the situation.

"What the hell is wrong with you how could you think that?" he screamed.

"It's the truth Archie. You are selfish and have only ever cared ab- "And by then he had slapped me around the face and punched me in the eye that hard that I fell to the floor in pain tears streaming down my face as I shakily lifted my head to make eye contact with him.

"Screw you bitch" he hissed as he kicked my back and walked to his car and drove off. I lay on the floor in pain for a few moments as I watched him drive off, I slowly somehow got up from the cold, rough, dirty floor and stumbled towards the warm glowing lights of Pops. Grabbing my phone, forgetting my perfect pink jacket, I ran outside and phoned my best friend (Veronica Lodge).

After about 5 tries I finally gave up. My head was spinning and my vision went all blurry. I went to call my mom even thought I knew she was out of town for the week but as I did my phone had died. I was screwed and had nowhere to go. I needed help. All of a sudden, I felt my eyes go heavy as from then it was a battle to stay awake.
