With You

Mom

2 days Later
At home
Bettys POV:

     "Bye guys!" We exclaimed as me and Jughead walked away from our friends and to our home. On the ride home I couldn't help but think about my mom calling me. She wasn't ever rude to me. She didn't abuse me like my dad, rather she just didn't speak to me. She always gave me a sad and sorry look from what I could remember. She seemed like she felt bad for me but still seemed like she hated me as well. "I don't want to be home Juggie" I said as we approached the door. "I know Betts" he said sadly as we entered. "Finally!" Jellybean yelled and ran up to me pulling me into a hug. I hugged her back and soon she moved to Jughead. She was getting so tall But she still wasn't as tall as Jughead.

    "Uh...Jughead can I tell you something?" She asked him nervously and then peeled over at me. "Yea sure. What?" He asked hesitantly. "Come here" she said and pulled him away from me. I sat down on the couch after kicking my shoes off and waited for them to return from their secretive talk. I'm sure whatever it was Jughead would tell me later. "What!" I heard Jug yell from the other room. "Why didn't you help her! You just show up like this to" Jughead yelled but he was cut off by Fp. "Son, not right now" he said quietly. I felt so strange. Everyone was in there talking without me. "Well I think she should know...right now" Jughead said. After that he came around the corner and turned around. "Come one" he said to someone behind him.

    Jellybean and dad walked out and gave me a nervous look. Then I heard small footsteps and out walked her. My mother, giving me the same sorry expression as she used to. "M-mom?" I asked and stood up quickly. "Why are y-you here?" I asked her and looked at Jug next. "Did you know?" I asked him. I was upset. If he had known she was coming here and that's why he brought me away I was going to be so upset with him. "No Baby I swear I didn't" he said and walked towards me. I believed him and met him hug me, but I didn't move. I was shocked. My mother was here in front of me. She didn't even care that I was abused my my father and she hated me because I wasn't like Polly!

    "Betty, I've missed you" mom said and came towards me. I backed away quickly. "No!" I yelled at her. Shocked at my own pitch in my voice. I hardly raised it like this. Jughead has his eyes widened as well as Fp. They were just as shocked as I was. "You never stood up for me! Because you loved Hal more than me! You didn't want him to leave you so you let him hurt me!" I Kept on  "you never spoke to me. All you did was ignore me because I wasn't as pretty or smart as Polly" I said a little quieter now. There were some tears in my eyes and she looked surprised that I stood up for myself like that. "So no. Don't tell me you missed me because it's oblivious to everyone in here that you didn't care" I finally finished.

    Nobody said a word. I turned around and left. I went up the stairs and into mine and Jugs room. I actually felt good about what I just did. I stood up for myself and I was glad I did. I shouldn't let people walk over me anymore. "Baby, are you alright?" Jughead asked from the doorway. "Yea" I smiled and looked at him happily. He furrowed his eyebrows in curiosity. "I stood up for myself Jug, it felt nice" I told him. He smiled back at me "well that's good" he said.

    "But, she is here now. Maybe you should talk with her and figure something out" he suggested and placed a hand on top of mine. I gave him a weird look and he nodded. "Maybe tomorrow" I said and leaned in to kiss him. Of course he kissed back and I felt my lips curved into a smile before we pulled away. "I love you Betty" Juggie said. "I love you too"

Time Pass
Next Day

     "Sweety, I'm sorry for not protecting you, I don't know why I didn't stand up for you and I'm so sorry" my mom said while tears formed in her eyes. I didn't know if i should except her apology or not. I glanced over at Fp who sat beside her on the couch. Something was definitely up between them 2. Jughead sat beside me and fondled my hair with his hand. "Alright" I mumbled under my breathe. If I was honest I didn't feel like arguing. I wanted to forget about my past for good. So if my mom was going to be staying with us then I guess we better start working on our relationship now. "What?" Mom said and looked at me with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. I repeated myself and gave her a smile.

    She seemed happy that I accepted her apology but it was going to take a lot more than that for me to regain her love and trust. "So, why are you here anyways?" I asked her curiously. "And where are Polly and Chic?" "Polly and chic went back to Ohio to live with y'all's Grandmother, and I couldn't take care of that house alone. Me and Fp are, well I knew him and he offered to let me stay" she explained. I looked at Fp in disbelief. "I told her it was only ok if she talked things over with you" he said and put his hands in the air innocently. "Ok" I sighed and looked at them.

    This was going to be awkward if they got together. Maybe with her back though we could build our relationship and become an actual mother and daughter. Maybe one day we will be a somewhat normal family. Other than the fact that I'm in love with my adoptive brother, and my mom might be dating his dad. "Before this does continue though" I started. "Is there anything between y'all?" I asked carefully. Nervous for their reactions. Jughead backed me up as well. "Yea, is there?" He asked with me. Fp and mom looked at each other and took a moment to say something. "We're not sure right now, but we promise we won't effect y'alls relationship" Fp said.

   Me and Jughead looked at each tiger and hen looked back at them. "Unless you have a baby" Jughead mumbled. "We won't" mom said reassuringly. "Ok" I said and stood up. Pulling Jug up behind me. "Good talk" I said and took off to the kitchen to get some food.
