Don't Let Go

Part 12

Fp- Betty, Jughead, we're back.

Caleb- And we brought you food.

Jughead didn't want to wake her up so he just stayed there. But within a few minutes they all walked in and saw her sleeping on top of him.

Fp- Well well well, what do we have here?

Jughead- Shh, she's sleeping. (whispers)

Caleb- She already got you sleeping with her...wow.

Ben- You better not give my little sister a baby, she's still a baby herself.

As soon as those words left his lips, Jughead became extremly nervous, but did his best to hide it.

Jughead- I won't, don't worry, we're just friends anyway.

Caleb- Whatever you say.

Ben and Caleb walked out while Fp was still looking at the two teenagers.

Fp- I'll let you two be for now but you better be careful with her, she's been through hell already.

Jughead- Believe me, I know.

Fp- Alright come down for dinner when you're ready.

Jughead nodded and watched as his father quietly closed the door. Then Betty woke up...but as soon as she felt Jughead she tensed up.

Jughead- Relax it's just me, you fell asleep on me earlier.

Betty- What time is it? (softly)

Jughead- 8:49.

Betty- I have slept so much today. (softly)

Jughead- That's okay, you clearly needed it.

Then for a moment they went silent.

Betty- Should I look at the test? (softly)

Jughead- If you want too, or you can wait until later, it's not going anywhere. Ben, Caleb and my dad are home, they brought us food.

Betty- Okay...can we get food? I'm really hungry. (blushes)

Jughead- Yeah let's go.

They got up and walked downstairs. The whole way to the kitchen Betty held onto Jughead's hand which he loved. She seemed to be getting more and more comfortable with him, making him extreamly happy, because he loved being with her.

Caleb- Look who woke up.

Betty- Haha. (softly)

They sat down and Fp brought over their food. Betty ate so quickly, but as soon as they were both done they went back upstairs and shut Betty's bedroom door. Instantly she started pacing.

Jughead- Betty, relax.

Betty- I can't...what am I going to do if I'm pregnant? (tears)

Jughead- We'll figure it out...don't get worked up yet.

She nodded and walked into the bathroom to grab the test. She had it in her hand but didn't look.

Betty- Can you look for me? (tears)

Jughead- Betts, I think you should be the one to do it...take all the time you need.

She started crying really hard. Jughead took the test out of her hands and put it next to him, then he pulled her into his lap and hugged her.

Jughead- Betty, I promise everything will be okay, but you need to look at it.

She continued to hug him for a few more minutes until she finally grabbed the test. She looked at it, and then back at Jughead. And instantly her head collapsed into his shoulder, and all he felt were her tears.

Jughead- I'm guessing you are?

She nodded and wrapped her legs around his torso. He didn't let go of her. She was crying for so long they hadn't even noticed over an hour had passed until suddenly Fp walked in.

Fp- Oh I'm sorry for barging in...Betty are you alright?

She didn't look up from Jughead's shoulder.

Jughead- N-Not really...I think I'm gonna stay here tonight, can you grab me my pajamas?

Fp- Jug, you two can't-

Jughead- Dad, please.

He said as he pointed at her crying in his arms.

Fp- O-Okay, fine, but no funny business. (softly)

Betty continued to cry as Fp walked out and then back in with a pair of Jughead's pajamas, then he mouthed:

Fp- (mouths) What happened?

Jughead- (mouths) We'll tell you tomorrow.

Fp- (nods) Have a good night, if you need anything you know where I am.

Jughead- Thanks dad.

He left and closed the door. Finally Betty looked up and did her best to wipe her tears away.

Jughead- Lets get changed and then we can go to sleep.

She nodded and walked into the bathroom. Jughead quickly took off his shirt and changed into his sweatpants. He laid down in her bed and waited for her to walk out of the bathroom. Soon she walked out in her shorts and t-shirt. She got back in bed with him and wrapped her arms around him while she laid her other leg over his waist, then she snuggled her head into his chest.

Jughead- Try to sleep as best you can, Betts. (softly)

Betty- O-Okay. (sniffles)

They both fell asleep quickly, but throughout the night Betty would toss and turn, clearly because her mind wouldn't shut off. Everytime she did, it would wake Jughead, but he didn't care, he just wished he could be able to help her.
