Don't Let Go

Part 10

Betty- He was capable of so much more than you could ever imagine. (cries)

Toni- Fuck, Betty, what did he do to you? (whispers)

Betty- A l-lot of things...the bruise on my cheek was small compared to most of the shit that he did. (sniffles)

Cheryl- (breathes out) We don't have to talk about this anymore, I'm sorry I brought it up.

Betty- I-It's fine, lets just do something else. (sniffles)

Cheryl- How about a movie?

For the rest of the night the girls watched movies and enjoyed their time together...but as the morning rolled around, Betty was feeling extremely nauseous.

Cheryl and Toni were both still sleeping next to her but she was feeling terrible. She did her best to get up quietly, but as soon as she was on her feet she had to run to the bathroom so she could throw up. She was on her knees with her head in the toilet for almost ten minutes when she suddenly heard the door creek open.

Toni- Betty...

Toni walked over to the young girl and got on the ground next to her before rubbing her back. The two of them stayed there for another few minutes before Betty was able to get up, but by that point she felt very lightheaded, causing her to almost pass out.

Toni- Woah, woah, woah, slow down. Let's get you back to the bed.

Betty nodded and walked back into the bedroom while Toni was holding onto her, guiding her to the bed. As soon as Betty collapsed back into the bed, Cheryl slowlying pulled herself up.

Cheryl- Hey guys, how'd you sleep?

Betty- Terrible. (softly)

Cheryl- Why? Was something wrong?

Betty- No, I'm just not feeling great. (softly)

Toni- She was in the bathroom throewing up for the past 15 minutes...now she feels lightheaded.

Betty- I'm hungry. (softly)

Cheryl- Um, girl, are you sure you want food? You just threw up...

Betty- Yes, I'm sure...I've been throwing up every morning for the last week and food was the only thing that made me feel better afterward. (softly)

As soon as she had said those words Toni and Cheryl eyed each other.

Cheryl- Okay, I'll go get you some food. Toni, you stay here with her.

Toni nodded and sat back down in the bed next to Betty, caressing her arm softly, doing her best to make her feel better. After a few minutes Cheryl came back upstairs with a bunch of different options for Betty to eat. So the two of them helped her sit up and eat a few things, which all made her feel better immediately.

Betty- I don't know what's going on with me but whatever it is, it's so annoying.

Toni- Um, Betty- (softly)

Betty- I hate throwing up, I always have.

Cheryl- Bee... (softly)

Betty- It's just so digusting-

Toni- Betty...are you pregnant?

Betty- What? No!

Cheryl- Are you sure?

Betty- Yes! I haven't......

That's when Betty went silent.

Toni- Betty? (softly)

Betty- N-No, it's not possible. I took a pill. (tears)

Cheryl- S-So, you did have sex?

Betty- T-Technically but t-there's no way I- (tears)

Cheryl- If you did it then it is a possibility.

Betty looked at the two girls with tears in her eyes before letting her head fall into her hands.

Betty- T-This can't be happening to me. (whispers)

Toni- It'll be okay-

Betty- N-No, it won't. (cries)

Toni- It will! Just talk to Jughead, he'll be supportive!

Betty- J-Jughead? (sniffles)

Toni- Y-Yeah, he's the one who you had......right?

Betty shook her head as multiple tears rolled down her cheeks.

Cheryl- Then...who?

Betty- (softly) R-Remember last night when I said my dad was capable of more than you could ever imagine? (cries)

Toni- (gasps) N-No!

Betty nodded as she let out a sob.

Cheryl- H-He r-raped you?

Betty- (nods) T-Three t-times. (sobs)

Toni- Oh my god...Betty... (tears)

The two girls wrapped their arms around her tightly, wanting to make her feel better, but they knew that there really wasn't much they could do.

Betty- But I t-took a Plan B. (cries)

Toni- Everytime?

Betty- The first two times. The last time Ben and Caleb stopped him...that's when he was arrested. (cries)

Cheryl- I m-mean, it can happen even if you take the pill, I'm sorry. But don't worry too much yet, you might not actually be pregnant.

Betty- Based on the odds, I think I am. (cries)

Toni- You still won't know until you take a test so again, don't let it stress you out too much right now...do you want me to take you home?

Betty- N-Not yet...can we stay here for a little while? (cries)

Cheryl- Always.

The three of them laid back down in the bed, snuggling together close. And for the next little while, all they did was talk about the things that they didn't need to worry about, taking Betty's mind off of everything else. But soon enough she had to go home, which meant she was gonna have to face everything.
