Betty POV:

Once I seen Toni was with them I quickly turned my head back towards Veronica and looked down as I resumed eating. Nervously as I try my best to avoid the conversation that we were just having now that both Jughead and Toni are in the same building. 

I feel my phone vibrate and I quickly look at it and notice that Jughead was the one who had called me earlier and not Veronica, i look behind me and find Jughead looking over at me and gestures down to my phone, I furrow my eyebrows and look down and notice that he had just texted me as well. 

Text Message:

Jughead: We need to talk

Received: 7:43 pm

Me: Okay, tonight at my house at 9

Sent: 7:44 pm

I look back at him and see him reading the message then looks up at me and nods his head in agreement, I sigh and look back at Veronica who is already looking at me with a risen eyebrow "Are you going to tell him?" She asks me 

"Uh, I think I'm going to go to the doctor first before I even think of mentioning it to him" I say to her

"Well then what was all that about?" She then asks me "Look Betty I get that you probably don't want to say anything to him yet but I personally think you should. " 

"Veronica do you know what this could do to his relationship with Toni? I don't want to be the reason why they split up again and much less lose my best friend especially over a drunken mistake." I say to her as I finish drinking my milkshake. 

Veronica sighs in frustration as she runs her hands through her raven locks then looks at me in the eyes "Betty, he wasn't even that drunk when he walked into that room with you. You on the other hand is a different story so he could've easily wrapped that willy of his before he inserted it inside your pool so he needs to buckle up and face the consequences just like you. You both played a part in making that little bun that is now baking in your oven" She says but before I could reply to her, I feel a rush of nausea begin to hit me, making me stand up quickly and run straight to the bathroom with Veronica following closely behind me. 

Once I enter the restroom, I turn to the side and throw up in the garbage can since I knew I wouldn't make it to the toilet. 

"Oh god" says Veronica as she scrunches up her nose as he walks in and holds back my hair as I continue to throw up all of the food that I had just ingested. 

"Betty, oh my god are you okay?" I hear Toni ask as she walks in through the restroom, I look up at Veronica and feel even worse once I feel Toni's hand rubbing my back as she tries to comfort me. i'm a horrible friend. 

"Yeah T, I'm fine" I reply to her as I wipe my mouth with the back of my hand "I think I caught that stomach bug" I say to her as I walk towards the sink and wash my hands and my face. 

"Oh well I hope you get better Betty but I see you're with Veronica so I see that I'm not needed so I'm just going to head back to MY BOYFRIEND" She says emphasizing on the words my and boyfriend. She gives me a smirk then walks off. 

"Yeah, I don't feel bad for her"  Veronica then says, I glare at her through the mirror and simply roll my eyes. I don't understand why my mom, Polly, Veronica and Kevin don;t like Toni. I mean I get that she can be hard to handle sometimes but everyone has their moments and Toni is no exception. I take one last look at myself and walk out the restroom with Veronica on the side of me. We reach the register where Pop is already standing and pay for our food that unfortunately I just threw out and walked out of the diner. 

"So tomorrow?" Veronica asks me with a risen eyebrow. 

"Yes, tomorrow. First thing in the morning I'll call and book the appointment" I tell her and she gives me a smile and gives me a hug "Everything is going to be okay" She whispers into my ear, I give her a smile and thank her. She offers to give me a ride but I deny it since I feel like I should walk to at least clear my head and think about things. 

I look into the diner through the windows and I can see Jughead laughing and giving Toni kisses, I sigh and walk away. How am I suppose to tell him knowing that it will only their relationship? I walk back home slowly and begin thinking about what I'm going to do since now I'm in charge of another life, Should I keep it? Do I tell Jughead? I bite my lip as I get to my house and quickly walk inside noticing all of the lights are off meaning my mom has gone to sleep already which I'm grateful for. I run upstairs and go straight into my room, quickly closing the door and locking it. I don't bother changing since Jughead will be here soon so instead I just grab my laptop and sit on my bed, my back resting on my headboard and quickly put on the new season of On My Block. I get so into the show that when I hear a banging on my window I get startled, I quickly walk over and see Jughead telling me to let him in. 

I open the window and help inside then close it once he's in. 

"So you wanted to talk?" I ask him as I clap my hands together and watch him as he begins looking around "Jughead!" I yell at him, making him turn around quickly "What?" He asks.

"What do you mean what? What did you want to talk about?" I ask him once again

"Did you tell anyone about what happened that night?" He then asks making me suck in a breath and widen my eyes. 

"Uhm n-no why?" I manage to get out 

"Well as you can see me and Toni kind of got back together and I don't want her to hear about a meaningless one night stand and it ruin my relationship with her because lets face it Betty me and you will never happen again" He says to me 

I try my best to hold back tears and try not to let his words get to me "It didn't seem to bother you that night" I said to him "You make it seem like you don't find me attractive or something?" I then ask him as I narrow my eyes at him and sit down on my bed. 

"It's not that Betty, it's just I don't want Toni thinking that our night is worth me losing her which it isn't. I'm sorry Betty but you're not. You're just not worth my time" He says to me. 

"Get out" I say to him as tears begin to spill out my eyes. 

"What?" He then asks as if he didn't hear me the first time. 

"I said Get out! NOw" I yell out to him as I stand up and push him. 

"Listen Betty i'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you or anything but I can't lie to you so please just for-"

"What? Forget what happened?" i ask him and he nods his head yes slowly and I scoff at him "Don't worry I will" I say to him "Now get out" I say then wipe my tears. 

"I really am sorry Betty." He says then leaves. I lock my window and quickly change and go to sleep. 

I wish it was easy for me to forget that night just like he wants but unfortunately I have to walk around with that night literally growing on the inside of me but one thing that I confirmed tonight is that I'm definitely not telling Jughead.
