Lost in Temptation

Chapter 21

Veronica POV

For the first time in months the rain didn't stop, in fact it poured non-stop. I looked out the window then down at my phone and noticed the time. I began to get worried that Betty wouldn't get here but I just thought that she spent the night at Jugheads, I tried my best to fall asleep but something kept me up. Without realizing it, it was already morning when the door was being banged on loudly. 

I got up quickly and ran downstairs but Alice had already beat me to it, once she turned the knob the door was being pushed open as Betty's dad, her sister and Mrs. Andrews walked in.

"What the hell is your problem" Alice gritted out. 

"i'm here for my daughter, Alice. I told you I would be getting her back now where is she you fucking vulture" He sneers out. I smile and feel happy that Betty finally gets to live with the parent that actually cares about her well-being. 

"You can't do that Hal, I have custody of her" Alice then says tying up her robe. 

"Not anymore" He responds with a smile "isn't that right Mary"

"Yep, the judge gave the official order yesterday now we need Betty to grab her things because she's leaving with us this instant" Mrs. Andrews replies, Alice rolls her eyes and growls but she looks over at me and tries her best to smile "Can you tell Betty to come down Dear" she says to me

"Uh, Betty didn't come home last night" I say to her nervously 

"What do you mean she isn't here?" Alice asks 

"Wow Alice you don't even know where my sister is? Your own daughter" Polly grits out. 

"You find her and you find her now" Betty's dad threatens "She may be with that boyfriend of hers" 

"I'll go look for her" I suggest and go upstairs to change, hoping and praying that she is indeed there or at least with Kevin or Toni. I quickly grab my phone and text Toni and Archie but they both say they haven't seen her. Archie mentions that indeed she was on her way to see Jughead to tell him the good news regarding his father. I smile and my mind was put to ease thinking maybe she told him and they spent the night together but something in my heart tells me that I'm way off. 

Jughead POV:

I get woken up by banging on my door and I groan, feeling the pain that I feel inside of my head. I struggle to get up but I finally do. I continue to hear the door being being banged on "I'm fucking going!" I yell putting on a shirt. I get to the door and notice the metal sticking out and make a mental note that I have to fix that before someone gets hurt. I open it and I have to blink twice when I see my dad standing outside with a smile. 

"Well good morning" He says with a smile

"Dad!" I say walking down the steps and pulling him in for a hug. "What? How?" I ask him 

He looks at me confused almost as if I should know "Boy, your girl is the reason why I'm standing here" He says to me. 

"Trula?" I ask her and he laughs "Trula? Hell no that bitch gave up the moment she got my case, Betty. Betty worked her ass off along with Mary Andrews to get me free Jughead" He says "She even visited me and sent me money for my necessities" He says "i'm surprised you don't know but I figured" He tells me
