Chapter 26 - Saving Betty

Betty's POV
I walked down the stairs Toni on one side of me, Veronica on the other, I just kept looking down, I packed myself a little bag with a few things in it, I didn't know when I was coming back, if I even was, I didn't want to that was for sure, I felt bad leaving my mom here with him, but he seemed to be on good terms with her and I don't think he would hurt her I hope I was right about that, I kept looking down like Toni said as we made our way to the front door, my dad grabbed Veronica's arm, "Where do you think you're going with my daughter" He said his voice rough and full of anger, I couldn't see my mum anywhere, "We know what you do to do her asshat and we're taking her with us" Toni said back, she had her rough serpent voice on, "Oh no you're not, she's the next one to go but not out the door" he said smirking his eyes filled with mischief and the evil lurking around him already, "She's coming with us" Veronica said angrily through her teeth and giving him a glare, "What do you mean next one?" I asked suspicious, he just smiled then it hit me, my mom was nowhere to be seen, did he kill my mom?, "M-Mom?" I stuttered, it was a question directed at him, he just smiled more and nodded, with that I ran into the living room to see my mom on the ground, hand marks around her neck and her head bleeding, I collapsed to the ground sobbing beside her body, Toni and Veronica were shouting my name, I looked around and they were now standing in the doorway, shocked looks in their faces like they were going to cry, I looked back around at my mom and anger filled me, but I don't just feel angry, I felt guilty, it was my fault, I was upstairs the whole time talking about my problems while she was down here, being murdered by my father, I couldn't move, I wanted to, but I couldn't, I wanted to beat the shit out of my dad, I was sobbing into my dead mothers chest when I felt a pair of familiar arms snake around me pulling me towards him, the one place I felt truly safe, in their arms, his arms, the arms of my one and only true love.

Jughead's POV
As soon as Toni called me about Betty I grabbed a pair of shoes and an outfit and got changed as fast as possible, I had known Betty for about 8months, almost a year now and she was always happy, most of the time it was real but I could always tell when she was having an off day, I had been going out with her for seven months and 2 weeks now, and I had already knew she was it for me, she was the girl I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, the girl of my dreams and she was mine, and I was hers so I wanted to be there for her when she got out of her home, I was now standing outside her house, and then I heard screaming and crying inside the house and panicked, so I ran inside to see Betty's mom, dead, on the floor and Betty crying into her chest, I saw the backdoor open, her dad must have run off, Toni and Veronica were frozen in the doorway, I didn't think what to do, I just ran over to Betty and wrapped my arms around her, pulling her away from her mom's corpse she turned herself around so she was straddling my lap and wrapped her legs around my torso and her arms around my neck, sobbing into the crook of my neck, I felt so bad for her, I had known her mom the same amount of time I had known Betty and she was really nice, she would always hug you when you came over and she wrote what was on her mind in the newspaper, if you disagreed with her she would just ignore you and make you believe she was right, she was a great women and Betty's mom, I can't imagine how Betty was feeling, I looked over at Veronica and Toni who looked back and signalled with my hand a phone, Veronica knew to call Archie and Toni knew to call my dad, my dad because then she could stay at mine and could also help with the whole hal situation, Betty just kept crying, and my shirt was getting wet, but I didn't care, all I knew was to hold Betty, protect her and comfort her, I was whispering things on her ear like "Shh it'll be alright baby" and just sweet nothings, I didn't quite believe it would all be alright but it would eventually, for now though I just had to focus on Betty and somehow getting rid of hal.
