" I can't believe you Betty!" Jughead yells, slamming the door of the trailer behind him. A thunder storm had rolled onto town, heavy rain drops fell at a fast rate.
" I said I was sorry, I was just-"
" trying to help? God Betty, you went to my dad and told him that I was becoming a serpent! I don't even know if that is what I'm gonna do yet."
" you put on the jacket Jughead, Serpents deal drugs and do businesses that could put you in jail, I don't wanna see you get hurt." She says walking towards him putting a hand on his check. He pushes her hand away.
" god betty, you are insane" he walks past her into the kitchen. " maybe your parent should have sent you the the Sisters of Quiet Mercy" he mumbles under his breath, never meant to reach Betty's ear. But Betty has a habit of hearing things that she wasn't supposed to. Betty gasped quietly at his remark as her eyes started to water.
" why? Cause I'm insane just like Polly?" She spits out, each word making her fingernails dig deeper. She can feel the warm blood coat her fingers. Jughead immediately looks up at her, a look of horror in his eyes.
"Betty-"
"What Jughead? I heard you. You don't think I get enough of that crap from home!" She spits out.
" I'm so sorry, it's just I'm so stressed over my dad and the se-"
" the serpents? Yea I knows" she says folding her arms over her stomach. Jughead rolls his eyes.
" you know they had my back through everything. And what where you doing? Letting Archie and Veronica break into my trailer cause all of you thought that my dad killed Jason"
" you know that I didn't know about that. And if I though that your dad killed Jason why would I put myself in danger writing article after article about his innocence. You think I like getting threats everyday jug? You think I wanted someone to write 'go to hell surpent slut' with pigs blood on my locker!"
" that's beside the point Betty! Your always saying how the serpents are not the problem, but then you go and tell my dad how I'm getting into 'risky business' "
" well sorry that I consider helping clean up a murder scene risky business, I don't want you involved in the serpents!"
" I'm not gonna choose Betty!"
" well your gonna have to Jug! Cause i am not going to get involved with a gang! I can't sit back and watch you go down the same path as your father! We're not like our parents, you said that Jughead!"
" maybe we have more in common than I thought"
" yea I can tell" she spits out like poison on her tongue.
" what about you? Your just little miss perfect aren't you? But really your just insane like the rest of the crazy coopers!" He yells moving past her and opening the door to the trailer. "Leave Betty, you obviously have no reason to stay!" He yelled, grabbing her arm and shoving her out the door into the rain.
" Your right, I don't!" She screams as he slams the door. The minute it shuts she lets out a sob and starts to walk away. When she finally looks down at her phone she is surprised to see she has been walking around crying for almost an hour. She quickly dials Veronica's number when she realizes that she doesn't not want to face Alice tonight
Hello?
Hey...Veronica
The sound of her own voice makes her shiver.
Omg Betty what's wrong
Me and Jughead are done V she barley gets the words out as she begins sobbing on the phone.
Where are you, I'm coming to get you. Betty can hear Veronica move and call for Smithers from across the line.
Betty turns around taking in her surroundings
I'm at sweet water river
It's freezing out Betty, try to get indoors, I'm on my way. She says hanging up the line. Betty walks down the road in a short denim skirt and white short sleeve top, she thought it would make Jughead smile earlier that night getting ready for their date. Now she wished she wore one of her classic sweaters. She shivers as she walks in her heels down the road. It was mid January, and 35 degrees out, to cold for her outfit of choice. But she would do anything to make him smile, well she would have. Snow littered the ground from the blizzard they had a week before. It comes up to her ankles when she finally gives in and takes off her heels, carrying them in hand. 15 minutes later the sound of a car makes her look up through her soaking wet hair. A black car rolls beside her and the passenger side door opens and Veronica comes out with a heavy winter coat on.
" oh my god Betty your freezing" she utters when she hugs her friend. Betty just looks at her with sad eyes.
" let's get you into some warm clothes and into bed ok?" Veronica says opening the car door for Betty. She nods in agreement and tried to not think about Jughead.
To be continued...
