With You

Back home

Bettys POV:
I woke up the next morning to Jughead Laying beside me in the hospital bed. "Goodmorning beautiful" he said when I opened my eyes. "Juggie what are you doing he?" I laughed. "Well I wanted to see you so I told dad I was leaving for school but, I'm just gonna stay here with you" he told me and pecked a kiss on my lips. "When will I get out of here?" I asked him curiously. "Hopefully tomorrow" he said happily. I let out a breathe of relief that I didn't know I was holding. "But if you have any more pain, you have to promise me you will tell me" Jug said harshly. "Ok, I promise"

Time Pass
The next day

"Ready to go home?" Fp asked me as he entered my room at the hospital. "Very" I said as I walked past him and to Jughead. He gave me a welcoming hug and we walked out of the hospital happily. I still had my ARDS but I was on medication for them and hopefully they would disappear soon. They said they must have appeared a few months ago on account of an injury. I didn't say anything about it but I knew exactly what injury could have caused them. It was when my dad punched me in the chest 1 day. I dodged his punch to the face and ended getting hit in my chest instead.

We arrived back home and I felt so much better there. "We ordered Pops before we got you, there should be extra in the fridge" Fp told me once I walked in. "Thank God, I'm starving" I said and opened the fridge. I grabbed a burger and put it in the microwave to heat. When I finished eating my chest hurt a bit. I froze for a minute and coughed which earned me a glare from Jughead. "I'm ok it just hurt a tiny bit" I told him. He looked at me sadly and I knew he wanted to know what caused them.

Jugheads POV:
The doctors told Betty that an injury from a couple months ago caused the ARDS. She nodded her head like she knew exactly what they meant but she didn't tell us. I wanted to know so badly. I assumed it was her siblings or something. We later in bed that night watching a movie. "Betts" I asked her. "Hm" she hummed back as a response. "What caused them, you didn't say" I asked her curiously. She stayed quiet for a moment but then spoke up. "My...my dad" she said hesitantly. "He tried punching me one day. I tried to dodge it but he ended up hitting me in my chest and stomach" she finished.

I didn't say anything after that. I just pulled her closer to me and kissed her face in multiple places, and soon she drifted off to sleep.

Time pass
Next day

     "Juggie" Betty whined as she shook my shoulder. My eyes fluttered open to see an annoyed girl. "Come ooon we have to get up" she groaned as she stood up from the bed. I watched as she walked around the bed and over to my side. She stood above me and looked at me for a minute. "Jug were gonna be late" she told me as she grabbed my hand and pulled me up a bit. I jerked up and grabbed her waist and pulled her over me and back down to the bed. "Jug!" She said loudly and laughed "I don't want to get up betts" I said and stuck my lip out. "Well me neither but we have to" she said and mocked me by sticking her lip out.

    I began tickling her and enjoyed watching her laugh and giggle. "Jug, s-stop" she said between laughs. Soon I stopped and leaned over to kiss her. We made out for a while before we were interrupted by a knock on the door. "Guys! Y'all need to go you're going to be late!" Jellybean yelled from the other side. "Dad said to come down now" she said. I got up and opened the door and poked my head out. "Tell dad that Bettys hurting so she wants to take the day off" I demanded and pushed her away before she could even say no. I shut the door and climbed back in the bed next to Betty. "Jug why did you say that?" She asked me. "Because, I know you don't want to go to school anyways" I said and kissed her forehead.

    "I never want to go to school" she said and laughed. "Well we'll go back next week. It's like Friday" she agreed and we watched movies all day long without a care in the world. I spent the whole day with her. Realizing how thankful I was and how much I loved her. I was in love for the first time. I was never going to hurt her.

    A/U: sorry for the short chapter. I have some ideas for this story but I'm getting discouraged! Do y'all want me to continue it? If you are reading this please comment and tell me what you think.
