16

Jughead's POV
After we heard the scream I ran as fast as I could. When I was in the office I saw Betty panting in bed looking at me with terrified eyes. 'Baby are you okay'; I asked walking closer. 'NO STOP DON'T TOUCH ME'; she said crying looking scared at me. 'I- should I call Cheryl and Toni'; I asked and she nodded. I walked to Cheryl and Toni and said: 'can you guys talk to her, I- I think she is too afraid to talk to me', I just realized the woman I love is afraid of me. They nodded and left. 'Hey son how is Betty'; dad asked walking to me. 'Not good, she is afraid of me dad'; I said. He looked at me confused. 'They raped her there'; I said looking down. 'And now she is afraid of everyone man in her life, including me'. 'Son give her some space, she has gone trough something traumatic and she will have to cope with that, as long as she knows you are here for her, it should be good'; dad said and hugged me. 'Thanks for the advise dad'; I said. 'Anytime son, anytime'; he said and left.

Cheryl's POV
After jughead asked if we would want to go we went to Betty. When we opened the door and I saw Betty curled in a ball and silently crying, my heart broke when I saw her like that. 'Hey cousin Betty, how are you'; I asked walking towards her with Toni behind me. 'W-what is w-wrong with m-me'; she asked crying. 'Hey nothing is wrong with you, could you tell us what happend'; I asked hugging her. 'After the video, malachi came and r-raped me. I protested but he cut my thigh and I was afraid of bleeding to death so I just let him, god I am so stupid'; she said crying. I had tears in my eyes and saw that Toni was the same. 'Betty you could've done nothing and Jughead is not like Malachi, you can trust him': Toni said taking Betty's hand in hers. 'I- I know I feel so guilty for kicking him out but I was just afraid of him'; she said. 'He understands Betty don't worry'; I said. 'Can you get him here with FP, I want to tell you guys how I escaped'; she suddenly said. 'Are you sure you are ready for that'; I asked worried. 'Positive'; she said. Toni left and came back with jug and FP. 'Okay so this is how I escaped that hell hole'; she said.

Betty's POV
I sighed, this is it, I was going to tell how I escaped. 'Well, after the 'incident' I was cuffed against a radiator. I was crying and hoping that my father would have a little bit of sympathy, but I realized I was talking about my father'; I said chuckling, they just looked just sad. 'I remembered that I always carry a bobby-pin with me in my hair so I grabbed and unlocked the cuffs'. After that I saw a piece of wood so I hid it behind my back. I walked back to the radiator and sat there waiting for him faking that I was still cuffed. Hal came and I hit him in the back when he turned around. I then walked to a window I saw and sneaked out. Then I ran here and that's the last thing I remember'; I said and jug slowly walked towards me. 'Jug you can hug me if you want, I am sorry for pushing you away'; I said looking down. 'Hey Betts, listen you have been trough so much and you are so strong, don't blame yourself for being scared after a traumatic experience'; he said hugging me and I just cried.

Jughead's POV
My heard broke as she cried on my shoulder in my arms. I stroked her hair and whispered sweet things in her ear. I looked up and saw Toni, Cheryl and even my dad had tears in their eyes. I sighed and kissed her hair. They soon left to give us some privacy. I heard little snores come and saw that Betty fell asleep, I smiled and layed her down on the bed, I watched her sleep and stroked her hair. 'Oh my beautiful Betts, they are gonna pay for what they did and that's a promise'; I said and walked away to the bar. 'How is she'; dad asked. 'She is better, she cried on my shoulder for another five minutes and then fell asleep'; I said. 'Jug.....'; Betty said as I turned around. 'Betts what are you doing here'; I asked, everyone was watching us. 'I, I, I don't know, but I couldn't stay there alone'; she said tears threatening to be spilled. 'Oh come here'; I said hugging her and kissing her hair. Five minutes later she calmed down and said: 'how are we gonna take those bastards down' smirking. That's my girl I thought.
