To Protect You

Part 46

J- dad, I'm meeting Cheryl at the mall. I'll be back in a few hours. FP- okay, have fun J- thanks dad.

I walk out and went to the mall, I saw Cheryl sitting on a little bench. As soon as she noticed me she came up to me. C- I'm so excited! J- me too, but you really have to help me I don't know a thing about jewelry C- oh believe me, I do. J- okay. We looked around for a bit and after about an hour I found what I needed.

Betty (same time as jug)

I was sitting on the carpet thinking about how amazing my life was going, after a while is went back into our room looking for jug. He wasn't

there so I walked to the living room. He wasn't there either. I saw fo sitting on the couch B- hey, do you know where jug is? FP- oh yea, he went to the mall with some girl. B- with who? FP- I'm not sure, he said a name but I don't remember. B- okay, I'm going to look if he's there. I put on my shoes and my jacket and got to the mall. I had been looking for a while but I didn't see jug, untill I saw two people hugging, it seemed intimate. They pulled away and I saw it was jug. He was hugging Cheryl. Cheryl, my best, and only friend. I got furious, how could he cheat on me! I ran back home and without saying a word I got in out bedroom. A while later jughead walked in.

J- hey betts B- don't 'betts' me J- baby what do you mean? B- where were you? J- I, uhm I was at the mall... B- and you couldn't ask me to come, or at least tell me? J- babe you're acting

J- betts, I just needed her help with something. B- with what? Getting laid? J- no Betty ofcourse not! B- then why the hell were you with my best friend without telling me! J- Betty I had a good reason. He tried to hug me but I pushed him away B- jug if you were sexually frustrated you could've told me! J- Betty I'm not! B- yea well not anymore I guess! J- Betty why can't you just listen to me! B- well just fucking tell me what you want to say! J- well what do you want me to say? That I didn't hook up with someone else than you!?

B- I don't care just go, stay with your sister or whatever. J- okay... he  walked out, I laid back in bed and silently cried for hours.

Jughead

Betty send me out, I kinda get where she's comming from and it's probably the pregnancy hormones too. I got to the living room where my dad still was

FP- jug what happened? I heard some yelling J- Betty is mad at me. FP- why? J- well she was t happy I went without her and then she saw me hug Cheryl and now she thinks me and Cheryl are a thing and I don't know what to do dad... then I realized I was crying FP- jug are you crying? I slightly nodded. He came up to me FP- jug, it's gonna be okay. He hugged me tight and I cried in his shoulder FP- jug it's probably the pregnancy hormones, she'll be fine J- yes I know but now she thinks I want to leave her and that I hooked up with her best friend! I cried FP- you didn't right? J- no ofcourse not! But now she doesn't want to see me anymore. FP- jug just stay with jelly tonight and talk to her tomorrow. J-okay.

I went into jellybeans room, she was laying in bed but she wasn't asleep yet.

Je- jug? She looked at me and saw my tears Je- jughead what's wrong? J- I-I. She stood up and hugged me J- can I stay here tonight? Je- yea ofcourse. She laid down in bed and I quickly went into mine and Betty's room to get my pajamas. I walked in and saw her crying in the bed. She wasn't facing me so I went to our closet and quickly grabbed me stuff. After that I went back to jelly's room and laid down next to her. She laid her head on my shoulder and said Je- jug it'll be okay J- do you think so? Je- yes ofcourse, she might not show it but Betty loves you so so so much. A little later she fell asleep, but I couldn't, I kept worrying about Betty. I got up without waking up jelly and went to mine and Betty's room. She was asleep but I could still see the tears in her eyes. I couldn't bare seeing her sad so I carefully shook her shoulder.

J- Betty? B- jug? J- Betty I don't want you to be mad anymore, I love you so much B- jug, why can't you tell me what you and Cheryl were doing? J- betts... B- jug if you can't I'll still be mad. J- Betty, she was helping me get a present for you. I wanted to give it later but I can give it tomorrow... B- a present? For me? J- yes, she knows you best... B- no juggie, you do. J- maybe, but I needed her help with it. Please believe me baby, I just want to hold you close to me. B- jug I love you, an di didn't mean it when I said I didn't want you in the baby's life, I'm sorry J- no Betty, you don't have to apologize, I do. B- okay but do it quick because I want cuddles. She giggled and it was the cutest thing ever. I laid down next to her and kissed her nose.
