Lost in Temptation

Chapter 11

Betty POV:

I try my best to control my breathing and try to muster up the courage to walk back outside and face everyone in the hallway but I just can't seem to do so. 

"I hate being so weak" I say to Toni and Kevin as I look out the window of the blue and gold. 

"You aren't weak Betty, if anything you're stronger than anyone in this school for everything you've gone through" Says Kevin as he stares up at me. I smile a bit at his kindness but I know it isn't true, all I do is cry and I hate it. Why can't I be strong and fierce like Veronica and Toni? Why do I have to cry for every little thing? I ask myself not tearing my vision away from the window and wiping the tears that manage to escape my eyes. 

"Maybe you should just end things with Jughead?" Toni suggests but in that moment Jughead walks in along with Sweet Pea and glares at Toni obviously hearing the words that just came out of her mouth. 

"She isn't ending shit" He says in anger, still still down at Toni. 

"And why the hell not? You've done more than enough!" She yells out to him, now standing up from the chair she was once sitting down on. I roll my eyes  as I look over at them and continue to wipe my tears, Jughead looks over at me and his expression softens and looks at me with pleading eyes. 

"You aren't going to break up with me right?" He asks me 

I look at everyone in the room and let out a sigh "Can you guys give us a minute in private please?" I ask them and they all nod and walk out the classroom leaving just me and Jug by ourselves. Jughead quickly walks over to me and takes my hands in his and looks into my eyes "Please baby please don't leave me" He says. 

"Who says I was Jug?" I ask him 

"So you weren't taking Toni's suggestion under consideration?" He asks me 

"Of course not Jughead, I know this wasn't your fault and I would be foolish to let something like this come between us"  I tell him "I mean what kind of girlfriend would I be if I up and bail the moment things get complicated?" I ask him with sincerity making him smile a bit. 

"You're amazing you know?" He asks me as he wraps his arms around me and pulls me in closer to him. 

"Hmm I don't know about all that" I tell him a smile now replacing my frown on my lips. "I'm just doing what any girlfriend would do, and that's sticking by my man's side" I say to him the give him a kiss on the lips. He smirks down at me and slides his hands down my body "I'm not used to having a girl like you Betty Cooper" He says to me as he looks down at me seductively. 

I smile at him and shrug my shoulders looking down at the ground as if it were interesting. I feel his finger placed on my chin making me look up at him. I stare into his beautiful icy blue eyes and just melt inside "You never look down, never again Betty" He tells me and before we know it the bells rings letting us know that we need to start heading into class. "Want me to walk you?" He asks maybe noticing the nerves that I'm feeling within myself. I simply nod yes to him making him shake his head. 

I turn around, grabbing my bag but it quickly gets taken. I turn around see Jughead holing my bag and holds his hand out for me to grab I try my best to hide my smile but I fail miserable. We walk out of the blue and gold office hand in hand and walk down the halls by each other's side. For some reason being here with Jughead makes everything better and everything that happened earlier doesn't seem so bad, I have to start admitting it to myself that I'm falling and hard for Jughead Jones.
