To Protect You

Part 24

Betty

B-can I ask something? FP- yea ofcourse B- you don't have to answer if you want to but jug, where is your mother? J- uhm, I'm not sure actually. Dad what happened to mom? FP- she's in prison getting treatment for how crazy she is. B- wow... I always thought you were the perfect family... Je- no family is perfect, but I think the four of us are getting pretty close FP-I think you're right jelly. I smiled B- but, can I ask you what happened with her? FP- well, she started acting crazy and screaming and yelling at me for everything I did so I decided to get a divorce, after she heard that she went completely crazy and did some stuff you don't want to know about. Then she wanted to take jughead and jellybean away from me, and we got a lawsuit

but I won because she tried to attack me and jug in the middle of it. B- wow... J- I'm glad we got rid of her... Je- me too, she still scares me.

Jughead

The rest of the day we played some games and talked, Betty and I also went to the store to get some school supplies because we had to get back to school in a few days. It was pretty late already so Betty and I went to bed. We were asleep untill I heard a soft knock on the door, it was unlocked so I said J- come in. It was jellybean Je- hey jug, can I sleep next to you tonight? J- are you okay jelly? Je- yea, I just can't stop thinking about mom. J- oh, wel I don't know if Betty is okay with it B- okay with what? J- is it okay for you if jelly stays here next to me tonight? She can't sleep B- yea ofcourse, it's still

your room so you can decide J- no babe, it's our room, but are you sure you're okay with it? B- yea ofcourse. Je- thanks Betty. Jellybean laid down next to me B- I'm sorry for asking about your mom Je- it's fine, she's gone now so she can't do anything to us.

With that we all went to sleep.

Next morning

FP- ahh jelly here you are Je- yea I couldn't sleep so I went to stay with jug. I gave her a hug Je- and Betty ofcourse. Betty was still asleep cuddled up besides me with her head on my shoulder, she was wearing my shirt.

Je- wait why is she wearing your shirt? You didn't... did you? J- no jelly we did not. If we did I would have locked the door! I laughed Je- oh okay. She said relieved.

I turned to Betty and stroked her cheek with my hand J- isn't she beautiful when she's asleep Je- she's always beautiful, I wish one day I'll be like her. Betty moved and put her arm around me, I thought she woke up but she was still asleep. I held my arms around her and kissed her forehead J- baby wake up. I whispered in her ear, she slowly opened her eyes and looked around B- oh hi everyone FP- good morning Betty, I came in to check on jelly B- oh okay. She smiled.

Next day (cuz I don't have inspiration lol)

Betty

Today we had to go to school again and I was really nervous, everyone in our class knew what happened and at our camp they were all

nice but I don't know how that'll be now. Cheryl and Veronica turned out to be really nice and Kevin was too, maybe they would want to be my friends. I was mostly scared of the rest of our class, I was afraid they were going to laugh at me or make fun of me and nick.

Jughead and I got ready and walked to school J- Betty, I know you're nervous but everything will be fine I promise. And if anyone makes fun of you I will kill them! B- please don't kill them, my parents are in prison and believe me it's hell to be close to them. He softly kissed my hair. J- I love you, and I'll protect you from everything.

We got to school and as soon as we walked in a few guys from our class walked in, they usually bully us so I was a little scared (imma just number the guys cuz idk what I should name them) 1- hey Betty, how are you? 2- did they catch the guy? 3- are you okay?

I didn't expect them to be so nice B- uhm, I'm fine and yea they caught him (forgot to mention this before oops) 2- good. They walked of again. Jug and I looked at eachother J- I didn't expect that B- me neither. We kept walking and Cheryl came up to us C- hey guys, Betty how are you? Are you feeling better yet after what happened? Because I still feel so bad for you B- yea, I feel a lot better jughead was really there for me. Cheryl hugged me C- okay great, I got to go to my locker but I'll see you in class. B- okay.

It was the second to last class of the day, normally at least a few people say mean things to me but today nobody did.

T- hello guys, I hope you all had a fun time at the camp last week. I looked down. T- even after what happened to Betty. Everyone looked at me T- Betty how are you doing? B- I'm fine... T-

okay, let's move on. At the end of this week we would like to have your parents over to talk about your grades and how you're doing in school.

I raised my hand T- yes Betty? B- I uhm, I don't have parent... T- ofcourse you do, Alice and Hall Cooper are your parents right? B- no, well yes but no... apparently he hadn't heard they had been arrested T- miss cooper, this isn't a joke ofcourse they are your parents, I don't think they'll be happy to hear this. I couldn't help myself and ran out crying J- Betty wait! He ran after me. Normally our class would laugh about something like this but now they were all quit. Jughead took me to the blue and gold so we could talk

J- betts, he probably didn't know about your parents, just like most people in our class.

Maybe it's time to tell them? B- no! I can't! They'll hurt me again! J- baby, come here they are never going to hurt you again, they're locked up and they will never be able to reach you again. B- oh, yea you're right... J- maybe you should tell our class what happened B- whit nick? J- no Betty, you're whole story. B- okay, maybe you're right. But can you please stand next to me when I tell them? J- ofcourse, come let's go back.
