CHAPTER 5 THE REAPER STRIKES AGAIN

BETTY POV

Sometimes I wonder what did I do to deserve him? Juggie is always there for me when I have a break down or when I'm not having a good day. He is my perfect shoulder to cry on and I love him so much for that.

It has been one week and no attacks for even sightings of the Reaper has been reported the town is calmer than it has been in years. As safe as I felt with Jug, I felt a lot safer knowing my mom was in the house. The only problem was how was I supposed to sneak him in and out of my house with my mom in the house. I told my mom everything that happened between me Archie and Jug and she supports me with jughead (thankfully). She is just doing what every mother does- tries to protect their baby. It was only ever me and my mom in the house with my dad rotting in a jail cell like he deserved and Polly (my older sister) up state somewhere it was quiet, it's been like this for years now I've just gotten used to it. Me and Juggie have a list of suspects but we have no idea because we don't have enough evidence to start pointing our fingers at people.

My alarm went off that morning and I have had the best sleep I've has in days. I was already running late so I decided to just go and get some cereal.

"Morning hunny your finally up! I've got pancakes if you want them or just some cereal. How are you feeling?" my mom said.

"mom you have too much energy this early in the morning I'm just getting cereal." I told her, she laughed but I didn't really get the joke or what was funny. I got my cereal and went to go and sit down. All of a sudden, the door knocked. I jumped that much I dropped my cereal all over the floor making the bowl smash everywhere.

"Elizabeth" she snapped, looking at the mess I had just made all over the floor. I look at her and she looks fuming so I decide to go and see who was at the door? Nervously I went to open the door. I hated answering the door since I was followed home, I always seem paranoid about almost everything. I swung open the door to see a pair of beautiful brown eyes staring back at me and an iconic beanie placed on top of his messy raven coloured hair.

I sighed, "juggie oh my god you scared me then!" I pulled him in for a kiss and told him to come in.

"hey baby, I just thought I would walk you to school today" he said to me still looking at my lips like he wanted another kiss.

"I would love to, but first I'll go and get ready" I told him as he followed me upstairs. As we were walking upstairs, I saw my mom in her hands and knees cleaning up the mess I had made earlier. She looked at me and rolled her eyes, I knew she loved me anyway so I just giggled it off and carried on walking. We got to my room and I threw my hair into a messy bun and put on some jeans and a t-shirt.

"ready?" I hear jug say from behind me. I nod slowly and we walked down the stairs. I see my mom sitting on the sofa and she looks at me and says "hurry up Elizabeth you are already late and yes I have cleaned up your mess from earlier." Jug picks up my bag as I'm still putting my shoes on.

I shout "thanks mom, I'm sorry I made a mess. I know you love me really. Byeeee." And with that we are on our way back to school.

"jeez your mom was in a bad mood this morning" jug said as soon as I closed the door.

"well before you came, I dropped my cereal bowl when you knocked and it went everywhere and I just left it, so she is now being moody." I tell him as I intermingle my fingers with his. "oh also I'm so sorry we are late this morning, I had the best sleep ever last night and I didn't want to get up" I tell him.

"I don't mind baby I'm just happy you were able to get a good night's sleep" he replies softly.

"aww I love you Juggie," I tell him.
