Betty Pov
I feel myself blinking multible times trying to get my vision normal and not blurry anymore.
Once I can see normally again I look around, seeing blinding bright lights shining right from above me.
I feel someone patting my hair softly which made my head turning into the direction of the hand. This movement made me wince because of my sore neck muscles.
''Shhh, honey. Here drink something'' I heard my mother say, a small smile grazing her lips.
Wait, my mother?!
''Mom?'' I whisper out, and turn to indeed see my mother with a sad smile on her face.
''Yes sweetie, but drink something first.'' She hands me a plastic cup, filled with water. Just now noticing how dry my throat is, I quickly gulp down the whole cup.
Handing it back, my mom places it on my bedside table, getting back to caressing my hair.
''Why are you here?'' My question seems to pain her, because her face twists with sadness and guilt. Don't get me wrong, it's nice to see that she is here and cares but I am afraid this is some sort of joke.
''Jughead called us, and told us what happened. We came as quickly as possible, look-'' She looked down and back up in my eyes.
''I'm sorry how I treated you and that an accident had to show me how much of a mistake I made ignoring you. I love you sweety, I don't want you to forget that. I just had a really hard time, you look so much like your father.'' She takes a deep breath.
''But I know that that is no reason to neglect you, and I am deeply sorry for that. I hope you forgive me one day.'' Tears well up in my eyes as it do in hers.
''I already forgive you mom, I love you too'' I whisper. I couldn't look as quickly, she suddnely pulls me into a hug.
A motherly hug, I've missed all over those years. I would be lying if I would say I forgot everything she did to me, but she is my mother. I could never hate her.
Just as we part and I lay back on the bed, the door swings open and we are met with Jughead and Fp.
''I'm sorry for, you know, going out and not listening to you guys'' I admit looking down to my hands in my lap.
''It's okay honey, at least you are partly okay now.'' Fp smiles at me, eyeing Jughead afterwards.
''Alice would you mind coming with me? To let them both talk?'' Fp suggest to which my mother nods, presses a kiss to my forehead and leaves me with Jughead in the room.
''I am sorry Juggie, I really mean it.'' I say as I watch him sitting next to me on the chair my mom was on seconds ago.
He shakes his head, taking my hand in his. ''There is nothing to be sorry about, you couldn't have done anything against a ghoulie.'' He spat out 'ghoulie' with so much disgust.
I shake my head sighing. ''No, but firstly I shouldn't have gone out, and listened to you. Secondly I was a complete bitch to you in the last days and I'm sorry. I just it was hard-'' He cuts me off.
''I understand Betts. It's fine really'' He smiles softly at me, making my heart do sommersaults.
Sighing in content my family for once felt complete.
Even though one of the family members felt not like family my heart was beating for.
It was beating for more.
