Betty
The day after what happened yesterday I went to school , I tried to keep low profile , or I did for the most part , I saw Archie after school "hey betty" "hi" I said , "I just want you to know jughead really sorry" I nodded then walked to the store , I bought flowers and then walked to the girls house , her mom awnsered , "hi I'm betty I live a couple houses down" she looked confused "I just wanted to give you these I'm sorry for your loss " she took the flowers "you're the first person who's cared enough to come bye or give anything , does this make you feel good or do you actually care?" "I lost my dad and sister when I was 7 so I can imagine how you must feel " she nodded , "thank you for the flowers" "your welcome" "want to come in" I nodded , I sat on her couch and she made tea , she was nice "now that my little girls gone I have nothing , I have no purpose" "when my dad died me and my brother and mom were in the car she threw me and my brother out the car at full speed and she got out when the car was flying off and she was paralyzed for years , now she's a drug addict and is in and out of rehab , but her main problem was giving into the help , the pills and the therapy , the system messed her up" she nodded , "yeah I'll note that" "how was she like?" I asked
"There wasn't much to her she read alought and when she wasn't reading she was thinking about reading , she was a only child it was always only me and her , she was never glued to her phone either , when I found out about her I blacked out for hours I still haven't processed it " "that's the thing with death" she nodded "I have to go but we'll talk another day I suppose" she said , "yeah here's my number if you need anything"
  I walked home and my mom and brother were at the mall I think , i went to my room and then checked under my bed for a box I had , I sat down on my bed and opened it , I just swiped through the pictures , until I paused for a second I put it away quick and put the box away , I texted jughead , I was mad at him but I was also bored , and I had no other friends really "want to go somewhere" I asked , "the sudden urge to talk to me?" , "Awnser the question"
"fineee" "ok I'll pick you up in 5 " I got my car because I didn't know were we were gonna go ,
I went to jugheads house and he got in
" so we're are we going " I shrugged my shoulder "how about , the zoo" "zoo?" I nodded "yes" we drove there then bought a ticket , "it's fun looking at animals that would eat you in a instant if they got the chance " I said , he laughed a little "you're fucking weird" 'yeah i know' , we were at the lion thing and there was a dad , he was with his kids , i miss that feeling , i miss my sister to , "if were going to be friends or ever just anything i want you to understand that you cant fix me" , we walked to the benches were no one was at , then he asked me "i just have one question really " i nodded "youre brother said you were cheerleading captian hbic basically it girl" "when i was 7 my dad drove off a cliff and ended his life , the only minor set back was me and my 2 siblings and my mom were also in the car , the time was limited and and us three made it , my mom was paralyzed for four years and i was in and out of foster care , the guys there used me and they did stuff to me , and when i was out my mom was unstable i guess , she coudnt care for 2 kids but me and charles just kinda raised eachother " i felt a tear roll down my face and then i looked at him , he looked sad or something , before he talked i said , "come on dont apoligize or something , lets go look at the koalas or something" , he just nodded

at the koalas i was admiring them for a second , "when i was 14 i started taking really heavy pills , and one night i overdosed and the next morning i was in the hospital , and i stayed there for 4 days , and then i stayed at a mental hospital for like a week " he said , i grabbed his hand ''this words ugly , but you gotta stick around I guess"
