Arranged Marriage

Part 9

Hal- Elizabeth, I was told that you went back to the fetch that mistake. You have been a very bad girl.

Jughead- Betty, get behind me. (whispers)

She was terrified.

She moved behind Jughead while holding onto her daughter as tight as she could.

Hal- Jughead stop trying to protect this slut, she doesn't deserve it.

Jughead- Why are you doing this? Why are you torturing her?

Hal- Because, she's a useless piece of shit that shouldn't have been born.

Jughead wanted to kill him for everything that he was saying about Betty, but he knew he couldn't.

He needed to protect the two girls behind him, and trying to kill Hal would only make it worse.

Hal- Now, Elizabeth, you can either come here now or I will kill all of you...started with the little one.

He pulled out a gun and Betty started crying really hard into the back of Jughead's shirt.

Betty- N-No...d-don't. (sobs)

Jughead- He won't touch you baby...just take your phone out of your pocket and call your mom. (whispers)

Betty- What i-if he sees? (whispers)

Jughead- He won't, just do it. (whispers)

She carefully pulled her phone out of her pocket and dialled her mothers number.

As soon as her mom answered the phone she turned off the volume and had her listen to what was happening.

Hal- Elizabeth get your ass over here right now, I'm losing my patience!

Jughead- She's not going anywhere near you!

Hal- Fine, protect her worthless ass...I can easily kill you first, then I'll have a perfect shot at the girl.

Betty- NO, STOP! (sobs)

Hal- Get over here and I won't.

She finally gave in.

She couldn't let him hurt Jughead or her child.

She carefully handed Isabella to her Fiancé and started walking over to her father.

Suddenly she got pulled back by Jughead who wouldn't let her go to him.

He didn't want to watch her get hurt.

Jughead- Betty, you don't need to do this.

Betty- Yes I do...just please keep her safe for me. (sobs)

He nodded and let go of her hand.

As soon as she was out of his grasp, Hal pulled her into his arms and put the gun to her head.

Hal- If you look for her or say anything to anyone, she dies...got it?

Jughead nodded and a tear came out of his eye.

It fell all the way down his cheek and off his face into Isabella's hair.

She instantly woke up at the feeling off the water droplet hit her head.

She looked up at Jughead and then turned to find her mother.

Isabella- Mama...

Betty- Baby... (sobs)

Isabella- Mommy.

She reached her arms out for Betty but she couldn't get to her daughter.

Betty- Honey, y-you have to stay with Jughead okay? (cries)

Isabella- No.

She wiggled out of Jughead's arms and ran over to Betty, grabbing her leg.

Immediately Hal pulled the gun away from Betty's head and pointed it at the little girl right below her.

Betty- N-No, s-stop, please don't hurt her. (sobs)

In that moment Betty tried to stand in front of Isabella and block her from Hal but he grabbed her before she could.

He pulled her away from Betty and was about to pull the trigger.

Jughead- Hal, don't do this, she's a toddler! (tears)

Hal- So, she's gonna become a slut just like her mother.

Isabella- M-Mama (cries)

Hal- SHUT THE FUCK UP!

Betty- D-Don't yell at her! (sobs)

Hal- Don't think I won't shoot her right now if she doesn't shut up!

Isabella- M-Mommy (sobs)

Betty- Baby, I-I'm right here...j-just look at m-me. (sobs)

*BANG*
