Bugheads Baby

Downhill part 2

Bettys pov
It's been 2 days since Jug found out about his mum. After his episode a serpent called up FP and he broke the news to us. Jug hasn't left his room in 2 days and is not allowing people to come in. Except Sweat pea, when he brings Jug booze. I haven't spoken to him since the accident. I can see people looking at me with pity, but I just say that he needs time. His mothers funeral is in two days, which I image he is taking especially hard. Since I've been crashing in Jugs room for the past 7 months, I had nowhere to stay. But I ended up sleeping at V's. I told her about the pregnancy and I found out she's engaged. We talked, we cried, we yelled, she drank, we puked and then we repeated.

The morning sickness is the worst part about this pregnancy. It's only been two weeks, but it honestly feels longer. I always thought that when I'd be pregnant for the first time, it would be with my husband who loves me and I wouldn't feel so alone. But I guess I was wrong. "Betty?" I look up, it's mustang, "My drink sweets." "Sorry yeah sure." I make his drink, whiskey sour. "Here you go." "I know your probably over people asking you, but, how are you doing with everything." "I'm fine. I'm worried about Jughead though." I've stopped calling him Jug or Jughead, which people have started to realise which only adds to their concerns about me.

I suddenly feel the worst nausea I've ever had, before I can even make it to the bathroom I'm throwing up. It burns my throat and it's a terrible feeling, I'm crying which only brings everyone over asking if I'm ok. "Jughead!" Someone yells. "No don't bother him..." I say in between puking. "I'm..." "fine." I say. But it just keeps going. Tony's holding my hair back, fangs has got me a step-stool to sit on and sweat pea got me a metal bucket. "Jughead! It's Betty she's sick" someone yells again. "Stop. She's fine" Tony said. "How would you know, your not a doctor." "Move." I here someone pushing through the crowd, "give her some god dam space." It's jughead, I'm still throwing up. He's now so close to me and blocking me from being viewed by everyone "She isn't a bloody floor show. Shoo." He says. "Don't be so rude jughead they have been more helpful than you", I say with a bit too much spite. I continue being sick and he takes Tony's place holding my hair and rubs my back. I feel the sickness pass and jughead takes the bucket from me and goes upstairs. I expect him to come back down, but he doesn't.

I'm being such an ass to Betty. But if two days ago showed me anything, it's that I love Betty way to much to put her in any harm, especially harm that comes by my hands. But when tall boy yelled for me, saying Betty was in trouble, all judgement was lost to me.
My mom always said 'That you can be angry, but you can't be mean.' I've been so cruel to her, sorry mom. I drown myself in the rest of the whisky in my room and cry myself to sleep.

I knock on jugheads door. He doesn't answer, so I go to his office and a get the key set from his desk and walk into his room. He's out cold, I go to his closet and place the suit I bought him for his mother's funeral in his wardrobe. I remembered that when I would borrow clothes from his wardrobe that he had no suits. I look around and feel an overwhelming on-come of emotions, the memories I had with Jug in this room all are coming back to me. I can't be here, it's too much. I close the wardrobe, exit the room and lock the door.

I wake up with a massive headache. It's the day that I put my mom six feet underground. I go over to my wardrobe to put on some shoes. I'm going to go over to my house in greendale before the funeral to get a suit. But as I open the wardrobe there is a new one hanging up. I don't understand how it got there. I locked the door and you can't get in without the key and I have that key. I mean there is the spare set in my office but nobody knows about those aside from Betty. Betty. I look at the suit again. I remember the pillow talk her and I had about our dream weddings. I said that I would want to wear a suit with a black tie that had the initials J + B. I flip over the tie and neatly embroidered are the initials J + G. G for Gladys... my mom.

I was touched by Bettys intimate gesture and go take a shower. When I come out I change into the suit and head downstairs. The bar was empty, by now all the serpents have left for the funeral that is bound to start in a couple of minutes. "Hey jug." I spin around to see Betty is a gorgeous black dress. It had a v neckline and had was lined with black beads sewn in a pattern along the bottom. "What_uhh, why are you still here? I ask. "I wanted to make sure that you got the funeral on time." "Oh thanks." "I'm so sorry jughead." She takes me into a hug, which feels like the one and only place that I wanted to be. "Hey, do you need a lift?" I ask But of course the moment had to of been ruined and thank goodness, I almost lost it around Betty and gave into my feelings for her. Missy walks into the bar "Juuuuugg. How are you babe?" She completely ignores Betty. "I came to check on you. Come on, let's get you to the funeral. "Do you want to ride with me?" I ask Missy. She gives Betty a look that says 'Ha, I've won.' "Bye Betty" I say without looking at her.

I planned on cutting him slack today because he is burring his mom. But disrespecting me is a whole new level. I arrive at the church with Kevin on my arm. He and I sit fairly towards the back, while Missy, Jughead, his sister Jellybean, FP and Jugheads grandfather all sit in the front row.

It was a beautiful service. All family members spoke and jellybean sang. Many people cried, including my mom who was a couple pews in front of me. I exit the church with Veronica, Kevin, Tony, Cheryl and Archie. Most people had already left and a few selected people were in their way to the wake. As we were leaving, we all hear a couple moaning and making out on the side of the church, we all laugh a little and go see who it is.

If I could take back this following moment I would without a doubt.

We look around the corner only to see Missy wrapping her legs around Jughead and practically chewing each other's face off. I am so angry, it may have been the hormones but I take of my shoes and gesture for everyone to do the same and I start chucking them at them. For the first few, my aim was pretty bad, but as I got closer I was hitting them...HARD. "You, dirty alcoholic, waste of space human being! I hate you Jughead jones!" I continue all while throwing shoes. "You ass, you are a no good playboy gang leader that should rot in ditch and GO.TO.HELL!!!!!!" I turn back, everyone who just whiteness my little scene was shocked.

I begin to tear up and Veronica and Kevin each take one of my arms and tell me to calm down as high-blood pressure isn't good for the baby.

We all head over to pops. I fill Cheryl and Archie in on the whole pregnant thing and they look at me with complete pity. I tell them not to, because really Jughead making out with that girl was a blessing is disguise. I don't have to bring my baby into a world that has a father as scum as Jughead Jones.

I'm at the wake and it just ended. I wasn't even aware until I noticed people starting to leave. I felt sick to my stomach, I cannot believe what I just did to Betty. I was so drunk I don't even remember going outside with Missy. But when Betty started throwing her shoes at me, it's like I snapped into consciousness again. I need to find her. I'll do better, all I know is that I would rather not live than live in a world without Betty Cooper.
