I'm sorry, Jug

If betty broke up with Jug instead of sending Archie

3rd Person POV

Betty Cooper was sitting on the steps to her boyfriends trailer when he opened the door. Jugheads face lit up with a smile before realizing she was sobbing.

"Betts? What's wrong?" he asked, sitting down down next to his girlfriend and grabbing her hand.
"Jug. Hi." She looked up and smiled, but he could tell it was fake. Her eys were red and puffy, and her face tear stained.

"Betty what happened? Why are you crying?" He repeated the question, genuinely concerned for his girlfriend.

"We have to stay away from each other, Jug. I'm sorry I dont want to but he have to." The pair stood up near the steps before Betty continued.

Jughead POV

"What? Betty, why? What happened?" I asked her, not believing what  she was saying.

"I have to Jug. If I don't then he'll kill you and I can't have him kill you Jug. It's just a little while I promise. I do love you that's why I'm doing this Jug please we have to stay away." she started crying while telling me this. I wrapped my arms around her and she buried her head in my chest, crying.

"What do you mean, Betts? Who's going to kill me? Please tell me."
I asked her. Who wanted to keep us apart so much that they would threaten my life.

"Him, Jug. The Black Hood." she mumbled into my shirt. "What? The Black Hood?" she nodded. "Why? Why  does he want us apart. And how do you know he threatened me?" Did he send her another letter. I hated the fact that a serial killer was messing with Betty. "He.. he called me." She buried her head deeper into my embrace, her tears now flowing freely.

"When? When did he call you?" I pulled her tighter into me, trying to shield her from the world when I knew I couldn't.

"The night we solved the cryptic letter after I got back from town hall. I told Archie-" I cut her off before she got any further. "Archie? Why didnt you tell me? Do you trust him more than me?" I asked, the hurt evident in my voice. Why didnt she trust me.

"What?" Betty moved her head to look at me before she answered. "Of course not Jug. But he said if I told you or my mom then he would kill you. I figured Arch would be less suspicious because hes my best friend. Ok. That's all. I love you Jug. That's why I can't be with you right now. He'll kill you. I can't let him do that." She put her head back and wrapped her arms tighter around me.

"Betts. I have an idea. But you have to trust me ok?" I knew exactly how to keep us together without me dying. She nodded, kissing my chest. "Ok. We won't spend time together after  school, unless its in secret. At all. I'll see you at my house after school, tell your parents you're going to going to pops or Veronica's-" she cut me off in them middle of my sentence.

"I can't. He also threatened her if I didnt cut ties with her, so she isnt my friend anymore I guess." "Ok. That's ok. Then come up with some excuse, just dont say you're coming over here ok. I can't lose you Betts. I love you, Betty Cooper." I finished, waiting for her to agree to the plan.

She once again looked up and gave me a real smile. "I love you, Jughead Jones." I picked her up by her waist, kissing her. She returned it and ran her hands through my hair, finally coming to a rest on my cheeks. I set her down after a moment and rested my forehead against hers before hearing someone clearing their throught to the side.

"That was actually.....pretty cute." Was that Sweetpea? I moved my head to see the Serpents standing at the end of the trailer, watching us. I was too caught up with Betty to hear them. "Come on Sweets. That was fucking adorable. I told you Jones was a softie." Toni laughed. She was definitely going to use this against me, but I didnt care about anything other than Betty.

"Wait, Jug, you're joining the Serpents?" Betty asked, making me turn back to her. "I- I yeah- I guess-" I stammered, not knowing what to say. "Hey, it's ok. I just wish you told me. That's all. The Serpents are actually pretty cool." She giggled, surprised at my reaction. I didnt think she would be ok with this. I laughed and kissed her again, pushing her up against the side of the trailer, hungrily wanting more. Then I  was once again reminded of the gangs presence.

"Yo! Jones! Get your tongue out of your girlfriend's mouth and get over here!" That was Fangs. I groaned and reluctantly let go of Betty, bringing her by her hand to the group in front of us. "How long have you guys been here?" I aksed, hoping that they wouldn't put Betty in danger of the Black Hood's wrath. "We saw basically the entire thing, but don't worry. We won't say a word to anyone. Promise." Toni replied. A weight was lifted off my chest after that. "Thanks guys." I replied, pecking Betty's cheek.

Now all we had to do was keep this a secret from the Black Hood, who ever the hell that was.
