With You

Better

  Jugheads POV:

     We finally arrived home from school. Betty had a rough day with people and I could just tell. She hadn't spoken since earlier today. At lunch she was ok but by 6th period she was completely silent. I rode us both home and still not a word had come out of her mouth. Dad was at the Wrym today doing some business with the serpents so we were here alone right now. I hoped I could get her to speak up.

    "Betts" I said as we walked into the house. She slipped her shoes off and went upstairs as if she didn't even hear me. "Betty please" I started but before I could finish she was gone. "Fuck" I whispered to myself as I took my beanie off. I was angry, not with her but with whoever was mean to her. I hated them for it. I love Betty so much and I can't stand seeing her in pain. I walked up the stairs quickly and seen my bedroom door was open.

    I walked inside but no Betty. I walked to the bathroom but no Betty. "Betts" I called out a bit. I walked around to the guest room and it was locked. I knocked three times "baby, please let's talk" I said. My words were followed by a moments of silence. A few tears slipped from my eyes. She was hurting and I couldn't help her. "Let me in...please Betts, I want to be with you. You don't have to tell me what happened if you don't want to talk about it but I want to" I stopped talking when I heard a click which must have been the door. I threw it open to see her with dried tears on her face.

     I wrapped my arms around her slowly. "Let's go" I said and pulled her away towards my bedroom. Once we got there she sat on the bed. I sat beside her and still, she hadn't spoken. "Betty..." I said. Hoping for some explanation. "I'm ugly Jug, and I should have died. Everyone wishes I was d-dead and I do t-to" she said her voice breaking a bit at the end. "Betty, You are beautiful, and I love you, i don't wish you were dead, or My dad, or Jelly, Or the serpents, or our" then I stopped when I seen Bettys mouth curved into a smile and I realized what I said. Shit. I thought. "You-you love me?" Betty asked hesitantly.

    "Yes Betts, I do" I said nervously. I didn't mean to say it this early but I did Feel this way. I really loved her but maybe it was to soon. Maybe she doesn't feel the same way. Maybe she's scared to be in a relationship. "I love you to Juggie" she smiled. I felt my heart do a flip. She said it. Without a second later our lips crashed together. Our tongues danced for a few seconds and I could feel Betty start to smile. I pulled away from the kiss and wrapped my arms around her. She hid her head in the crook of my neck and I felt it then. I knew it, there was no mistaking this feeling and I don't think I could live without her.

Time pass
Next day

    "Yes, we need to be in all the same classes" I said to the office lady who's name I believe was Mrs. Mill. "And why do y'all need to be in the same classes?" She asked and rolled her eyes. I furrowed my eyes at her "I'll need your parents to give me a written note explaining why or a phone call" she told me. I took a pen from the counter and wrote my dads number on a sticky note. "Fp Jones, call him and get us in classes together now" I demanded. She rolled her eyes again but picked up her phone. Me and Betty sat in the office chairs as we waited for the call to end.

     "Ok, here you go Elizabeth" Mrs, Mill said and handed Betty a schedule. "Thank you" she said and walked back to me. "This makes me feel better, thank you Juggie" Betty smiled as we walked to our first class. "Your welcome baby"

Bettys POV:
    The day went on and I stayed with Jug the whole time. I never left his side and guess what, no bullies! I got some rude looks but my siblings didn't bother me and that made me so happy. Then the week went on and the same thing. No body was rude to me and it was me and Jughead. I got closer with the serpents and I even went to the Whyte Wrym. Then a month went by and everything seemed to fall perfectly in its place. I had Jug and the serpents. My siblings seemed to leave me alone and I was happy. I was actually ok with how my life was going.

    More months went by and things were ok. I still had nightmares if I slept without Jug so I always slept with him. I couldn't sleep tonight though. Lied awake and played with Jugheads hair and watched him sleep. He made me so happy. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my chest which caused me to gasp a bit. My hand flew to my chest and I held it there. I started coughing and my chest hurt worse now. I tried my best to be quiet and not wow Jug up and luckily he didn't. After a few moments of pain it went away. I could t help but wonder if I should tell them about this.

    I'm always getting in the way with my problems like my family or something. So I decided not to say anything. It probably was just nothing anyways, well that's what I hoped.
