Bettys POV
Jughead was busy so i had Veronica drive me home. We had everything in place i just needed to get jughead on board. Wether he wanted to or not.
A few hours later she heard jughead come home. I go down to see him. B-"hi juggie" i pause as i see his sister next to him. J- "wait here JB- make yourself at home- betty- upstairs please" we go upstairs
B- "whats going on jug? Why is she here? Are you mad?" J- "im trying to explain- sounds like you have a grudge against my sister and yeah im kinda upset with you" i frown
J- "my dad got his second DUI so he lost jellybeans custody and his license. Im the only relative in riverdale and my dad has to he proven "a fit parents" before getting her back. So basically shes staying here- my mom is coming from Toledo- she should be here tomorrow to take jellybean"
B-"she can stay here" jughead shook his head j- "no she cant- my mom is watching her for a while- im just" he exhaled "i cant be any parent figure shes looking for right now"
I frown B- "im sorry for what i said earlier" j- "yeah dick move cooper" he never calls me cooper. He only says it if hes mad at me or proud of me. In this case. Mad.
J-"you think i have this small hope that you are not dying- i do- but in your mind its my only hope- and you think yelling at me will make it go away? No- it just pisses me off! Your pushing everyone away because you dont want to hurt everyone but in reality you would just end up dying on your bed alone!"
Jughead stormed out of the room. I watch him leave. I wanted to follow but JB was here and i was to tired. I laid down and held back my tears.
