The southside boy

19

~Archie's POV~

It was morning at the 5 seasons, I looked down to see a sleeping wonder.

"Morning" I said kissing his head

"I'm not ready to get up" he said digging his head into my arm

"If you sleep anymore, you won't sleep later" I said

"Can we get pops today?" Jughead asked

"Sure, but this time your coming with me" I said smiling, as he reached up and kissed my cheek

We got up, got dressed and went to a booth at pops.

"Andrews, I'm sorry for causing all the fights. And I wanted to say your on the team again." Reggie said coming to our table

"Really!?" I said smiling

"Yup, we need you. For the biggest game of the year, we're going against the StoneWall Stallions. " Reggie said

"They don't play to win Reg, they play to hurt.."I said

"That's why we need our best player, the games tomorrow. See you there." Reggie said as he left Pops

"Jug.."

"No." He said smiling

"It's a football game." I said

"I don't want you getting hurt, or worse." He said grabbing my hand

"I'll be fine, like he said, I'm the best player, we will win" I said

"Get hurt and your sleeping alone." Jughead said

^next day, at the school^

"You ready Andrews?" Reggie asked

"Ready as I'll ever be, Reg" I said smiling as we walk to the field.

I waved at jug, who was sitting in the stands as the other team comes in

"Ready, set, hut!" We started playing the game as the other team starts tumbling over us.

Time goes by as we are in a tie as I get the ball, running to the touchdown, trying to get out team victory.

The crowd cheering, as I'm about to strike the last touchdown, all of a sudden a stonie came and shoved me down, making me loose the touchdown. Making the StoneWall Prep Stallions win. I lay on the ground as Reggie comes up to me

"You alright, Andrews?" He said as he tries to help me up

"Yeah, I hurt my hand a bit though, I'm sorry we didn't win, Reg" I said

"It's fine, we would have lost if we didn't have you too, there a cheating group of preppies, they hurt a lot of us, but get that arm checked out, and I'll see you at practice." He said patting my back

I walked over to Jughead as he gently grabbed my arm, looking at it

"Are you alright?! Is it broken?! Sprained?!"

"It's fine, it just got banged on hard" I said

"I told you not to do this, you would get hurt. And you did it anyways. I'm sleeping on the air mattress tonight." Jughead said as we got in the car.

^10:25 pm^

"Goodnight, Archie." He said on the air mattress

"Mhm. Goodnight." I said

"What are you "mhm-ing" about." He said

"Nothing, except I have a whole bed to myself tonight.." I said smiling

"I told you what would happen if you got hurt." He said turning the other way

"Yeah, well I don't care." I said rolling off my bed onto the air mattress.

"I don't like having one person in bed only." I said wrapping my arms around Jug

"Your so needy" he said smiling as he turned around towards me

"It's not my fault you rather sleep on this uncomfortable mattress." I said

"Your not going to sleep without are you?" He asked

"Nope. So can we get in the comfy bed?" I said

"I don't wanna get up.." he said

"Your so lazy." I said, picking him up and laying us down on the bed.

I wrapped my arms around his waist as we started to fall asleep, until we heard a glass break

"What was that?" Jug asked

"I don't know" I said as we sat up

"Is it your dad?" He asked

"He is on a business trip" I said

"Stay here, I'll go see who it is"

"Like hell you are, I'm coming with you" Jughead said as we got up.

I walked down the stairs quietly, with Jug behind me .

I turned the corner to see Betty.

"Betty?" Jughead and I said

"You guys have to watch your backs.." she said

"What?" I said

"FP, he is planning something. Big, for Jughead..and I don't know what it is, but don't go anywhere alone." She said

"How do you know any of this?" I asked

"I'm working for him, and I'm meant to kill you, but I'll report back saying your not here. But be prepared" she said walking out of the house

"Your not leaving my sight." I said

"Okay.." he said, as I kissed him softly, as he hugged me tightly

^next morning^ 

I was in the living room, as jug was making cereal, watching tv

The door bell rings as Jughead drops the bowl on the floor.

"I'll get it" I said

"Mails here, Mr. Andrews" the mailman said, as I took the mail and closed the door.

"I'll pick it up, sorry.." Jug said sweeping the glass

"It's fine, I'll make you a new bowl, my dad hated that one anyway" I laughed

"Juggy, it's gonna be alright, you've survived your dad more than twice, I believe you can this time too." I said

"I just don't know how I can get him to go away." He said looking down

I walk over to him and lift his chin up

"We will get through this. Okay?" I said

"Okay."
