Step-siblings (bughead)

7. Ghoulies

Betty Pov

After Jughead came out of surgery he laid there in his bed, unconcisious, luckily not dead.

Even tho you could see him as dead, he was utterly pale. Luckily the doctors said he is doing well, and the knife didn't hit any organs and the cut was also not too deep, so he is fine. They just had to remove the knife surgically.

He should wake up soon from his anesthesia too, I hope my mom and his dad won't find out. Either way I am dead.

I was sitting in the stool next to him for quite a while now, my muscles are sore and aching by now. These hospital chairs are too uncomfortable. 

I was carefully watching his breathing in case something happens, wouldn't want his death on me. 

I suddenly feel my eyelids become more heavy and soon after I feel myself falling asleep, since I was up the whole night.

Jughead Pov

I slowely lift my eyelids to find myself in a bright white room, making me groan since the light shone right in my eyes. My stomach is in slight pain and I am still very dizzy. 

I blink a few times, trying to get the bluriness away, and see clear.

Turning my head to the right I see sunglight peaking through the blinds.

Wait- sunlight? Oh gosh I was longer out than I should've I think.

I look to my left, seeing Betty slumped against the chair, in a very uncomfortable positon. Suddenly everything came back to me.

How a ghoulie attacked me at the party last night, stabbed me in my stomach, Betty rescued me and I got into surgery.

Dark circles sit under Betty's eyes, her normal styled hair was now messy and there was still some blood on her clothes.

My blood

I cleared my throat, trying to wake her up. ''Betty'' I croaked out, I defenitely needed water for my throat.

 I reach my hand over to her, only reaching as far as for her knee. Deciding that's good enough I shake her virgously by her right knee. Startled she jumps up grabbing the armrest of her stool thightly.

She rubbed her eyes groaning ''Gosh Jughed! Are you okay?'' 

''I am fine. Just a little hurt but I am fine. How about you?'' I ask voice still croaky.

''I am not the one who was being stabbed. By the way I want a explaination for that later.'' She says while standing up. Eyeing her carefully I watch her as she gets a cup and fills it with water by the sink. Returning to me I thank her, as she hands me the cup.

Gulping down the whole glass I exhale a deep breath. ''We are in so much shit, aren't we?'' She nodded silently. 

''They are both coming, but in the end I am in deep shit because you went to the party because of me.'' She shakes her head, as if she was regretting going there.

''I really tried to stop the nurse from calling them. She said it's the law to call the parents since we both aren't 18 yet. She would've called them last night but I could convince her to call her today. They are on their way, sadly.''

''Look it's going to be okay I-'' I started but got cut off by her.

''No it's not Jughead! I am in deep shit. Firstly I snuck out. Secondly I went to a party. Thirdly I dressed like this against my mothers orders and you got stabbed. Nothing is okay, today is my death day.'' Her eyes are getting glossy, and her bottom lip is trembling. 

If the matter wasn't this serious she probably would've been looking cute.

 I lay back sighing loudly, thinking what I could do to help her. I am not the best in lying nor making up any excuses, I tried once and got grounded from my dad for whole 3 fucking weeks. 

I could say I went to a serpent meeting and the ghoulies surprised us but Betty doesn't know I am a serpent, neither in any gang. Maybe even Alice doesn't know that me and my dad are serpents, it could ruin his chances with her, knowing she is from the northside and, sorry but, stuck up. 

Before I could think more the door bursts open revealing two angry parents.

''Boy what did you do?!'' The angry voice of my father filled the whole room.
