the tape

Reqeusts are coming. No worries.
But I tought of this Idea whike watching the most recent episode. And I just needed to write it down.

Betty p.o.v
The tapes started to haunt me. We didn't know a single thing. We didn't know who or why or how. We just knew that some creep was doing this.

And if you tought that the tapes were people were killed with masks on wasn't enough, then you haven't seen the tapes were realy murder happend.

Just as the tape were Jason got murderd or me and Juggies sex tape. Those were real tapes. And it haunted me.

What if there were more tapes of me and Jughead. What if it got leaked, my and Jugehads future would be ruined.

Jughead could never be a writer if that happens. I don't want his future to be done. I want him to have good appurtunities just like he deserves. And these tapes, are not helping with that.

I came home from another stresfull day at school and let out a huge breath of relief when I was finally home.

Jughead asked me if it was okay if he went with Charles trying to search more cleus for the tapes.

Of course i agreed. So now I'm here, at home, all alone.

I walk into my livingroom and gasp a little when I see a tape on the coffee table, with my name on it.

I grab it my hands shaking and put it in the tape recorder. Maybe it's a bad Idea to look at it alone but to be fair I have seen more tapes when I was alone.

And It's probally just the same one we already got. 8 hour footage of the outside of our home.

I take a seat on our couch and press play. All I see are the hallways of my school, nothing happens for a long time

And then suddenly a door opens, and what suprises me, I walk out. You see me walking in the same dress I wore at the homecoming dance.

I gasp a little and stare at the screen in fear. I know what's going to happen, and I don't know if I'm ready to see that again.

But before I could tear my eyes away from the screen, I see my dad coming. And everything is on the tv. Me running away from him, he trowing me on the ground and hurting me.

Then suddenly it cuts away from me in the hallway to me, Jughead, Veronica and Archie in the woods.

I see our clothes and know it was that grazy night in the woods with Penelope. And again before I could stop the tape, I see my father getting shot in the head. Once again.

I stare at the tv with big eyes, and it took me a second to realisd that I started crying. I look at my lap and see my hands in tight fists.

I quickly let my hands go and see blood on my fingertips. I look back at the tv and quickly stand up taking the tape out of it.

I let out a shaky breath and before I know it I start sobbing. This was something I didn't need to see.

The image of my father getring shot is aready every night in my nightmares. I disn't need to see it again on a tv. I put my hands in my hair and my breathing get's faster.

Suddenly the door got opened, I don't even have the energy to look back at who just walked in. I hear the persons footsteps getting closer, and suddenly I'm picked up and placed on that someones lap.

It takes me only a second until I realise It's Jughead. He puts his hands in my hair and brushes it softly with his fingers. Knowing it always helps to calm me down.

"Shhh baby. It's all okay. Juggie is here to protect you. Shhh" he said in my ear while holding me tightly.

I nod and start holding him even tighter, "I got another tape" I said quietly my sobs finally died down and I calmed down a little.

He sighed and nodded, "was that, that made you so upset baby?" He asked softly. His tone was so gentle and soft, he always knew when the right timing was to be soft.

I just nodded at his qeustion. "What was on it?" He asked carefully, not wanting to upset me more.

"The prom incident...and Penelope...shooting my dad" I saud quietly before starting to cry again.

I heard him swearing under his breath before holding me even tighter in his arms. "Shh don't worry baby. It's all in the past. And were going to catch whoever it is who is doing this." He assured me.

"I know jug. I just feel like I am neevr able to forget it. Like everything I do reminds me of that nugh,t and when I Finally able to forget it, it comes back in my nughtmares. It feels like I'm always stuck in my past" I say my voice hardens.

He sighed and nodded, his face looking sad. "I know baby. I know. But I'm here for all of it okay? I'm here for all youre tears and break down. I'm here for always and everything." He assured me before kissing my head.

I slowly lift my head up and look at him, a small smile evident on my face. "I live you so much Juggie" I said putting my hand on his cheek.

He smiled at me and kissed me softly, "I live you too Betts. So much"
