Jughead POV

Today I am getting my wisdom teeth taken out. Kevin's coming to record my reaction after and Betty's coming because she has to help me.

"Come on Jug" Betty says and pulls on my arms.

"No I'm tired" I whine. It's 6 in the morning.

"Jughead Betty shouldn't be trying to wrestle a 6 foot man.  Let's go" Kevin says and I get out of the car.

Once we walk in I have to give my information to the receptionist. Then my doctor calls me into the room.

"Okay Jug we are gonna be right here when you come out. Good luck" Betty smiles and we share a kiss.

"Bye" I say and follow my doctor into the room.

Betty POV
Later

Jughead's doctor comes out into the waiting area. Kevin and I get up and walk to him.

"So it went well. So Forsythe is awake. He's loopy like he should be. We just have to get the wheel chair then he can leave." He says. Then he explains what he can and can't do and eat.

"Okay thanks"'I smile and he shows us to where Jughead is. He's just staring at the ceiling.

"Hey Jug" I say and Kevin starts recording.

"Hey" he says and looks at us.

"How you feeling?" Kevin asks

"Goood" he says and smiles.

"I can't feel my lips" he says and touches his lips.

"Yeah the numbed your lips." I say and sit down in a chair next to him.

"I'm high. What will happen if the police pulls us over. I'm gonna get arrested because I'm high" Jughead cries.

"No you aren't getting arrested Jug" I say and wipe his tears.

"Why is that light so bright" he says

"Because it's an light" Kevin says

"Shut the fuck up" He whispers to Kevin.

"What?" Kevin says.

"I said shut the fuck up!" Jughead yell.

"Hey! Don't say that" I giggle.

"I'm hungry. Can we get Pops" he asks.

"No Jug it's in Riverdale it's too far away" I say. 

"I want Pops" he whines

"We're going to Riverdale next week Juggie you can get pops then" I say and he nods.

"I wanna talk to Parker" he says

"You can talk to him when we get home" I say and the doctor comes in.

"Okay we'll stand him up and put him in the wheelchair." His doctor says.

"Hey doc" Jughead says.

"Hi can you sit up for me?" The doctor asks.

Jughead sits up "Whoa it's spinning" he says.

"Okay we'll wait until it stops." He says

"Okay go to go" Jug smiles and puts his thumbs up. Then the doctor helps him up and into the wheelchair.

"Thanks man" Jughead says and salutes to him.

In the car

Jughead has been singing to every single song that come on.

"Jug stop talking" I say. He places his hand on my shoulder.

"You just want attention. You don't want me heart. Maybe you just hate the thought of me with someone new." He sings.

"Oh my god" I whine. He keeps singing and Kevin pulls into Burger King and turns off the music.

"Hey I was listening to that" jughead says.

"Yeah we'll I'm ordering you food so shush" Kevin says and starts telling the person at the drive through what we are ordering.

"You shush" Jughead says and his bloody gauze falls out and he screams.

"My tongue fell out!" He cries. And Kevin drives to the next window.

"Jug calm down it isn't you're tongue" I say and hug him trying not to laugh.

"My tongue fell out" he says.

"Jug that's not your tongue" I say and he looks confused.

"What is it then" he says

"Your gauze" I say

"Why do I have gauze" he asks

"So the bleeding can stop" I say.

"Oh" he says.

"Here your strawberry smoothie" Kevin says and hands it to him.

"Here look" I get a napkin, "spit your other gauze out" I say and he does it. I pick up his other one from off his lap and put it in a bag.

At home

Jugheads crying again because Parker didn't answer the phone.

"My brother doesn't love me" he cries.

"Or he's just sleeping like you're supposed to be doing." I say

"No!" He sobs.

"Can you tell him to shut up" Archie says playing on the game.

"You shut up" Jughead says

"Who the hell is crying" Cheryl says walking into the house.

"Jughead" I say

"Why? Oh yeah he got his wisdom teeth out" she says and goes into the kitchen.

"Jug let's go take a nap" I say and he nods. We go into our bedroom and we lay down.

"Can we get Pops?" Jughead asks.

"Yeah when we go to Riverdale next week" I say and he nods and falls asleep.
