Previously on Our Pain :

I intertwined our fingers together once my hand was placed in his, and headed out the door looking for three young teenagers with their fathers that I so happen to know after searching the whole bar to know who everyone is.

Betty pov:
Although it would've been easier for jughead to link with them and get them to come upstairs, I had a feeling that he didn't want to do that, well, I didn't want him to do that either, spending the littlest of time with him makes me feel alive, something I haven't really felt in a couple of years.

I finally spotted the two boys and the pink haired girl sitting at the end of the bar and if I am correct their fathers playing pool with a few others. I gently squeezed Jughead's hand, a signal for him to know that I found them.

He looked down at me nodding his head as a way of showing me that he understood.

I started walking in the way of the three fathers, their names flashing again in my head. Tallboy, Hogeye and Vermin. Once we were close enough to them, they seemed to notice our presence.

Tallboy was the one to speak up first. "Hey jug, and betty, is it?" I nodded my head slightly before he continued "I'm Tallboy and these are Hogeye and Vermin, it's nice to finally meet you betty."

"it's nice to meet you too Tallboy, my mom wouldn't stop talking about you three and Fp so it's nice to finally see you in person." I said, bringing up the fact that my mother was really fond of the three men in front of us.

"Guys, we're having a little private meeting upstairs and we need to discuss really serious business so could you please follow us" said Jughead and their children must've heard us because they skipped towards us and each one of them nodded their heads.

I turned around and was about to head upstairs to our families when suddenly, the doors to the bar burst open and a smell I recognize far too well filled my nostrils.

I widened my eyes, not believing my senses then brutally dropped jughead's hand which drew attention to more than just jughead.

I quickly turned around, still not believing it, but I would never mistake this smell with any other smell in the world, the smell was far too special for me.

Once I was fully faced with the double doors and my attention was all on what was in front of me, I saw what I have dreamt of seeing for the past 6 years of my life. A small gasp fell out of my mouth as a soft whisper was barely heard coming out of my two parted lips.

"Grams?" my hand instantly went up to my red lips, covering them, as the few tears I wasn't able to hold in anymore escaped out of my eyes.

Her attention went from the man right next to her to me. Staring at me wide eyed her lips twitched from a little frown to the biggest grin I've ever seen her give to anyone.

All my senses came back to me as I seemed to catch up on what was happening in front of my eye sight. "baby?" her eyes visibally glassed over, from where I was positioned. "Baby!!!" she said in a more enthusiastic way which was hard to believe could happen from the way she exclaimed "baby" the first time.

The whole bar fell in silence again as she started speed walking towards me. Me running up to the woman that was declared dead 6 years ago.

I threw myself at her, already sobbing in my grandma's arms. "oh honey, you don't know how long I've been wanting to hold you in my arms".

"I-I th-thought you were d-dead" I said sobbing uncontrollably and breathing heavily trying to catch up my breath.

"oh you don't know how hard it was for me to leave you, your sister and cousin, but I had to, I knew I had to, and for everyone to think that I was dead was so much safer for all of you"

"please don't leave me, not again" I said brushing off whatever topic she was rambling about, because having one of the closest person you have ever had in your arms again after 6 years of mourning their death, is the feeling you wish you could ever feel, even if it was for just one second. I tightened my grip around her, not wanting to let go.

My grams and I were always close, she was the closest thing to a friend when I was little and wasn't able to go to school and make friends because I didn't have control over my magic.

But then, at the age of ten, 6 years ago, I remember her telling me she was going on a trip to see the love of her life, in Riverdale, saying that she had to check on Fp for mom too.

Two days later, my mother came into my room telling me that something happened in riverdale and that grams didn't make it, she was dead. I remember crying for weeks, and for months was I finally able to sleep correctly.

"oh, my precious, precious granddaughter, you've grown up so fast, look at what you've become, such a beautiful woman." I looked at her sparkling blue eyes.

"not to be rude grams but how the hell are you alive" she chuckled softly at my response, then looked up and I could see tears clouding her eyes all over again.

I looked behind me and saw my whole family standing there, on the wooden staircases, polly looking yet again disgusted but somehow, softer than all the other times she's looked at people disgusted, and Ronnie, oof Ronnie wasn't able to keep her balance.

Mom and aunty H were crying as Hiram was trying to hold back his tears, because no one ever saw him cry before, not even Veronica, I mean that is what she told me once.

"Hello mom." said in union the two twins as the five of them ran up to us and embraced us in a group hug.
