Secrets

(!!!!!!!TW Abuse!!!!!!!)

Betty POV

"Betty, Oh my God!" Veronica exclaims when I walk into the student lounge. "What? Whats wrong?" I ask, speeding over and sitting down next Jughead, across from Veronica. "Your arms are covered bruises! Who did this?" Kevin cuts in, looking at the exposed purple spots shown from my sleeves riding up. "Shit. I meant to cover those up." I mumble, pulling my sleeves back down.

"Betty, who did this?" Kevin repeats, while Archie and Jughead just stared at me with shocked looks. Jughead gently grabbed my arm and lifted the sleeves, showing the bruises again. I winced from the contact on the sensitive spots. "Betty, was it your mom again?" He asked softly, getting confused looks from our friends.

"Again? Wait this has been done before now? And Jughead knew?" Archie grew slightly angry at the realization that this has happened before. "Yeah. She told me when we first started going out, when Alice started this." He told the group, getting another shocked response. "How long have you two been going out in secret?"Veronica looked scandalized, and I suppressed a chuckle.

"2 years. Beginning of sophomore year." I said. Guess the cat was out the bag.  "Why do you think I was 'busy' all the time? I was at Jugs. Doing things....." I shifted closer to Jug and he planted a small kiss on my lips, instantly calming me a little. I hated being interrogated.

"I cannot breathe this is amazing." Kevin squealed, then realized how it came out. "Oh, I didn't mean that, it's not good your mom abused you Betty. Why did you not tell us?" He added, calming down.

"Because, Kev. My mom scared me, honestly. And she stopped when I told Jughead, but I got a D on the test last week cause I've been really stressed and she hit me again." I shuddered at the feeling her hand gave, and Jug intertwined our hands, kissing the back of mine. I gave his hand a squeeze and rested my head on his shoulder.

"Wait, so those hickeys on your neck last week were actually bruises?" Veronica asked, still dumbstruck at the sudden presence of a boyfriend. "No, those were hickeys." I mumbled, and Kevin laughed. Archie hadn't spoken anymore, and Veronica's face had a mixture of a gasp and a smirk. Jughead kissed the crown of my head.

"So let me get this straight. You and Jughead have been going out for 2 years now-" Archie was cut off by Jug. "We did a lot more than go out." Which earned a soft slap on his chest and a scoff from me. "And your moms been hitting you since before then?" He continued, shooting a quick glare towards my boyfriend.

"Yeah. But she stopped after I told Jug." I repeated. "Well. That settles it. You're moving in with me. I told you if this happened again, you were moving in, and you agreed. So you're moving in." Jug insisted, and I knew there was no point in arguing. "Fine, Juggie. I'll move in." I laughed, and he turned my head to kiss me.

Forgetting other people were there, he kissed me softly which turned into a long one. I turned to him and straddled his lap, running my hands through his dark hair. He held my hips with his hands. "Um, hello?"  Kevin spoke up, causing me to jump up and sit back down next to Jug. "Ok. I am never going to get used to that. Ever." he laughed, making me blush a deep scarlet.

"So. Let's skip and help you get your stuff to move in with Jughead? You good with that, B?" Veronica asked us, and I nodded. We stood up and left the school together. I'm grateful I have such good friends.

I think this is a good Bughead fluff with some friendship that I thought was ok. Thoughts?
