awkward birthday dinner

Betty p.o.v
So here I am, standing in my hallway, my mom picked out a light pink dress and white heels for me, my hair done in wavy curls as I stand there anxiously waiting for the unwelcomed geusts to arrive.

All I wanted to do this birthday, was being cuddled up with my boyfriend on the couch watching Hamilton, then go to the seprents bar, get drunk for the first time, have amazing sex and stupid stories to tell when I'm older. Not stand here in my own house, waiting for your cheating ex, the girl he has cheated on you with and your new boyfriend that your mother dispises to come and join a birthday dinner party you didn't even want in the first place.

There is a knock on the door and I look to my right nervously, seeing my mom staring  with stern eyes back at me, silently ordering me to open the door. My mom is very good at commending people without even really telling them what to do with words, just the anger in her eyes alone is already enough for people to start doing whatever she desires. I used to think that was a  amazing skill to have, I used to see my mom as like a super hero that you see in movies.  now I realise she is a cold woman, who despises everything if it isn't what she wanted.

She's cruel.

And I want to become everything but her now.

I walk over to the door and let out a breath of relief when I see my boyfriend, Jughead Jones. Leader of the southside seprents, very protective over me, a sweetheart when you get to know him and he has a very passionate hate for Archie Andrews oh and let's not forget the one thing he's also very passionate about, burgers!

I admidietly run in his waiting arms and breath in the faint smell of sigarets and his cologne that I got him for his birthday last year. "Happy birthday!" He says with a excitement I always hear when we reunite. I give him a smile and stand on my tippy toes, i lean in and kiss his cheek soflty "Thank you juggie! oh I'm so glad you made it before Archie" I say to him in a reliefed tone, and I see his eyes darken at the mention of his least favourite redhead.

"Don't you worry about him now baby, if he even dares to make one comment to you. he is on the ground with a bleeding nose before that carrot can even blink" he says with a serious look, his voice laced with anger. He talks with that voice a lot when he talks serious buisness to the serpents, he never talks to me that way tho. He loves me way to much for that.

I just give him a goofy smile in return, hoping to light him up a little. Being angry now is only gonna make this situation worse then it already is. "aww I love it when you act so tough around people" I say in a high pitched voice, making him grumble in annoyence. "I am always tough! I'm like a lion" he says, puffing his chest out like he is some sort of strange monkey man.

I put a hand over my mouth as I let out a loud snort, and give his shoulder a small pat, "whatever you say buddy" I said before turning around and walking away from him. A grin on my lips as I hear his footstwps behind me.

I feel his arsm wrap around my waist and as I look at him, he opens his mouth to say something. I'll never know what tho, becuse the bell rung once again. Cutting him off. I let out a sigh and peck his lips before making my way to the door again and opening it, my heart starting to beat faster as I see archie standing there, flowers in his hands and that annoyong looking smile on his annoying looking face.

I still can't believe I once loved him.

God I have to stop thinking about that, otherwise I would puke my guts out right on his shoes.

Talking about his shoes, I got him those for his birthday 2 years ago. Oh god, he only wears those when he wants something from me. And i don't even wanna think about, what he wants now.

"Happy birthday sexy" he says sending me a wink, I shiver in disgust and move to close the door back in his face, but my moms voice interups me sadly. "Oh Archie, I'm so glad you could make it tonight! My daughter was scared you wouldn't come" she says before stepping me aside to hug my ex boyfriend.
