I got the call.
the call that Charles, my brother was going to prison, my mom was throwing a tantrum and I'd walked to Pops in tears. I got dirty looks wherever I went, I live on the south side and couldn't escape that, I opened the door and was greeted by the warming smell of chips and strawberry milkshakes, it was heavenly, I breathed it in deeply before settling on a leather stool sighing softly
"rough day Betty?" the friendly voice of Pop Tate greeted me, I let out a ragged breath
"yeah, I just found out Charles is going to prison, which is brilliant" I shook my head sarcastically, he placed his rough hands that had been wrapping burgers for the past 50 years on mine and squeezed them
"it will all work itself out soon my dear, how's your mother holding up" he smiled warmly at me
"not great Pop, not great" he sighed
"you want your usual?" I nodded slightly
"eat in or takeaway" I turned around after I heard the bell chiming away at the newest customer to step foot in Pops, it was Jughead Jones, the most mysterious boy you'll ever meet, he's too sweet for his own good but ever so easy to get along with, I glanced at him softly and turned back to Pop
"eat in please"
"certain someone caught your eye Miss Cooper, nice boy he is, ever so quiet" he winked and started to walk away to fix my order, I looked back over at Jughead who had pulled out his laptop and was furiously typing away, only god knows what he was writing, Pop came out with my order
"go and sit with him, he's always on his own, by the way, it's on the house" he grinned and walked away to serve someone else, I dried my face and cleared my tears from my eyes and gathered up the courage to talk to him
"hey is this seat taken?" I asked softly not wanting to startle him, he looked up shocked
"y-you talking to m-me?" he stammered
"yes i'm talking to you" I laughed softly and he gestured for me to sit down
"thanks" I smiled warmly at him
"so what brings you t-to my booth" he questioned cautiously
"relax, I'm not gonna hurt you, I know i'm from the south side but I don't bite" i bit into a fry and let him talk
"I don't care about that, your a nice person, but you didn't answer my question, what brings you to my booth" he looked up and folded his arms carefully across his chest, I took a deep breathe and decided to just let it out
"My brother Charles just got put in prison for second degree murder, my moms completely ruined because of it, so here I am about to drown my sorrows in Pops finest milkshakes" I sighed softly and I looked down but almost immediately looked up when I felt two very soft hands latch onto mine, I could hear him sigh softly
"god Betty, I'm so sorry, at least he's not going to hurt anyone else, and your mom is having a normal human reaction, don't put this on yourself, it's all gonna work itself out" he said warmly, tightening his grip on my hands, i sniffled and wriggled my hands out of his embrace and wiped my tears,
"thank you for listening to me rant, I needed to let that out" he smiled again
"well thank you for trusting me enough to tell me that"
"you should feel grateful, don't trust people that much" I smiled back at him and which he returned, he closed the top of his laptop and shoved it in his bag and took my hands again
"wanna head back to mine, Five Feet Apart is playing soon" he said shyly
"yeah, yeah that'd be nice, thank you" I blushed slightly, he pulled me up on my seat and we walked out of Pops arm in arm, I looked back at him and saw Pop wink at me I laughed and rubbed back into his shoulder.
we arrived at his trailer and he pulled out some drinks and snacks for us and cleared a space on the couch and we both flopped down
"you comfy Cooper?" He asked once I'd settled down with a blanket draped over my legs
"yes thank you" I shuffled over to rest on his shoulder.
Halfway through the film I looked up to see that Jughead had fallen asleep on my hair, he was snoring softly, i wriggled up and kissed his cheek
"go to sleep Betts, I'm tired, we're staying here"
I giggled softly as he mumbled and kissed my cheek,
"thanks for tonight" I smiled as he opened his eyes slowly
"your welcome, anytime okay" he smirked back at me
