I hope you guys enjoy this one!
this was another one of my own ideas🤍
concept: Jughead's little sister Jellybean, went missing a few weeks ago, she was found by Betty and she brought her back, but what was Betty doing at sweet water river?
trigger warning: mentions of suicide, suicidal acts and talks of kidnapping please do not read if this will make you uncomfortable!
this is all in jugheads pov.

my little sister went missing a few weeks ago, my dads a mess, I've barely been sleeping trying to look for her, me and the serpents spend most of our days looking for her everywhere, my dads on his last nerve, he's been trying to catch the kidnapper ever since she was declared a missing person, we're both bracing our selves for the worst, Toni even mentioned starting to plan her funeral
an empty casket
"Any news on Jelly dad?" I sighed as I walked into the trailer to see my dad with his head in his hands
"no son, nothing, I think we need to start bracing ourselves for the worst, we need to start planning a funeral Jug" he looked up at me with glassy eyes
"no dad! I refuse to just leave her, she's still out there and I know it" I shouted at him, was he really just going to let go of her that easily I walked out of the trailer and slammed the door running onto my motorcycle and driving off to the wyrm
"Any news on JB yet Jug?" Toni asked as she poured me a drink
"nope, and my dads starting to give up which is brilliant" i said sarcastically
"maybe it's for the best Jug" she placed her hand on top of mine and squeezed it sympathetically
"sure whatever" I said in an annoyed tone, downing the rest of my drink before heading back out the bar, I was about to get on my bike when I heard my phone ring
"Is this Forsyth Jones the third?"
"yes who's speaking?" I said irritably, I hated my real name
"This is officer Parker speaking, we may have a girl here who is claiming to be your sister down here at the station, another girl brought her in around 20 minutes ago, please make your way to the station to come and identify her, she's unharmed but she's soaking wet along with the other girl" he spoke, I was already starting up my bike and strapping on my helmet and racing down to the Sheriffs station
"Where is she? Where the hell is my sister" I slammed my fist on the receptionists desk
"s-sir please calm down, who are you talking about?" She stuttered
"a girl, brought in about 20 minutes ago, soaking wet" I said
"a girl claiming to be Forsythia Jones?"
"yes! That's here, where is she?" I was starting to get excited, what if this girl really had brought in my sister
"room 208, she's with the other girl as well" she smiled I was turning around to go before I had realised I didn't even know the name of the girl who had hopefully brought my sister in
"wait what's the other girls name?" I said turning around
"umm...let me find it, ah Betty Cooper sir" she smiled before turning back to her paperwork
Betty Cooper, what on earth was she doing
I made my way to her room, trying not to get my hopes to high, I walked through the door to find Betty and my sister sat on some seats huddled together in foil blankets for warmth, the pair of them were shivering
"oh my god JB, you had me and dad so fucking worried, don't ever go with someone again, you hear me? You run as fast as you can next time you see someone suspicious okay?" I said sternly
"y-yes I p-pro-promise" her teeth chattered
I kissed her forehead and pulled her into a hug, I looked over to Betty, blue lips, pale skin she looked weak and defeated, not as bad as Jellybean, something was definitely wrong
"hey JB, go and fill out that form to say you are the missing person, give me two seconds" I smiled at her and let her waddle off to the lady
"Betty?"
"hm" she hummed not breaking her eye contact with the wall
"listen I know we don't know each other that well, but what were you doing at sweet water river?" I said softly
"swimming, I was swimming" that lie sounded rehearsed
"are you sure?" I placed a hand on her back
"yes, now if you'll excuse me I need to be getting home" she whispered and walked out of the room
"o-okay" I shook my hand in confusion as she left
"Mr Jones, you can leave with your sister now" the officer came in with my sister
"thanks officer, come on Jell, let's get you home" I held my hand out and she grabbed it
"I want to see dad" she mumbled
"and you will okay?" I ruffled her hair and walked her outside, helping her onto my bike and racing back home
"Dad!" She flew off my bike and ran straight into my dads arm, both of them had tears spilling out their eyes
"Dad I'm so sorry, he just grabbed me, I didn't know what to do" she cried
"it's okay honey, did he do anything to you?" he asked stroking her hair
"no he didn't, he just kept me in a dark basement until I ran away"
"who found you?"
"some girl called Betty, she was really sweet, all though she did seem really sad" she sighed
"JB you wouldn't happen to know what she was doing there do you?" I asked kneeling down to the hugging pair who had somehow found their way to the floor
"she was in the river her shoulders were under, she was crying and she was about to go under again i guess before I saw her and started to scream for help" jellybean shrugged
"is her last name Cooper son?"
"yeah why?" I frowned
"I used to go to school with her mom that's all, she goes to your school right?"
"yeah she does, we don't really speak, she's awfully quiet, keeps herself to herself, best friends with Keller's boy Kevin I think" I shrugged
"call her, if you have her number, just to say thank you, please, her bringing Jellybean in means the world to me, please just call her"
"I think I have it, I had a project with her a few months ago" I grabbed my phone from my jacket and scrolled through my contacts to find her number
"hey it's Betty! Sorry I can't come to the phone right now-Polly shhhh, I'm trying to record my voicemail-" she giggled, it was beautiful
-"anyways, leave a message and I'll do my best to get back to you byeeee" then a long beep, I tried to call her 7 times after that, she never picked up
"didn't her sister die?" I turned to my dad who was now walking inside with Jellybean
"yeah and her dad, sad day, poor girl, she's been ever so sad since, barely spoken a word according to Alice" he said softly
her sisters dead, so is her dad, she was in sweet water river, shoulders under again, she's tried more than once she's clearly depressed, barely spoken a word.
She was trying to end it all.
"fuck, dad I need to go, I think I know where she is, I'll be back later oaky?" I was already running to my motorcycle for the second time today, my dad had barely said bye to me and I was already out of the driveway racing towards the river, I parked my bike on the bridge and looked over, to see and small blonde, only in her underwear, holding her nose, arms crossed over chest, I could hear her loud sobs from where I was stood, my heart completely shattered to see once a happy bubbly girl have to go to such extremes to end her pain
"Betty! Wait please don't do this, just wait for me to get down there okay, let's talk alright?" I was already sprinting across the bridge and down onto the smooth pebbly ground
"I-I can't hold o-on anymore j-jug, I-I can't do I-it" she stammered through her heartbreaking sobs, I reached her position and ran into the water, clenching my fists the coldness of the water I grabbed her arm softly and pulled her cold shivering body towards mine
"hey it's okay, I know it hurts Betty, please just hold on okay, it'll get better I promise, let's get you home and warm okay?" I looked down at her shaking frame, she was so small and fragile, It was like holding a glass baby
"n-no, I c-can't go h-home please" she begged as she was holding onto my arms tightly
"o-okay, we'll go back to my place how does that sound?" I rubbed her back, gently starting to move her out of the water
"where are your clothes Betts?" I said not letting go of her
"o-over th-there" she pointed to her small pile of clothes
"here let's put your hoodie on and get you home okay" I smiled before helping her slip on her hoodie and sweatpants
"t-thank y-you" her teeth were still chattering i l picked her up and carried her across the rocky ground,
"your still freezing, here take my jacket" I took off my serpent jacket and helped her slip it on
"thank y-you" she was no longer stuttering
We drove home and I helped her into the house
"would you like to have a shower" I said passing her the tea my dad had made
"yes please" I picked her up again and helped her into the bathroom
"there's shampoo and conditioner on the side okay, call me when your done and I'll stick your clothes through the tumbledryer so there warm okay?" I smiled
"jug?"
"mhm what is it" I turned back around
"could you s-stay in he-here I really don't wanna be on m-my own" she said looking down at her feet
"you okay with that? I asked picking her chin up she nodded and I sat in the bath with my back to her so she could have some privacy
After a while she got out of the shower
"sorry, I completely forgot to put your clothes in the dryer, they won't be warm" I chuckled rubbing the back of my neck
"it's o-okay" she smiled warmly
"no it's not your still cold, take mine from my dresser they'll be warm I promise" I said whilst smiling.
I let her get dressed and let her slip into my bed, I pulled the blanket over her and cuddled her into my side, I played with her hair
"what were you doing there Betts" i sighed
"I just wanted to end it, my sisters dead so is my dad, they were my rock, my world, and they're gone" she cried into my embrace
"it's okay, I know it hurts right now but it will get easier I promise, I'm always here for you okay, from now on" I kissed her head until i heard light snores fall out of her mouth
"good night Princess" I kissed her head one last time
after 2 years of therapy Betty stopped at 18, she moved in with me, we started a relationship a few after I rescued her and 3 years later had a baby boy, Joe Jones
She still had good days and bad days, I was always there for her, the entire way through
4 years later we got married and had another baby Lilia Jones.
