Sorry this took forever 😞
1 week later
" what did the doctor say?" Veronica says lovingly sitting on the side of Betty's bed.
Betty frowned.
" I have a bad case of the flu, which means no school for a week and no seeing friends cause I'm contagious V, you should leave. I don't want to get you sick"
Betty has been sick for 2 days now, she's thrown up 6 times and has a temperature of 103.5.
" I'm not gonna leave, your mom works. I'm not gonna leave you alone. I'm fine with missing school " Veronica says. Betty just stays quiet, excepting the fact that Veronica isn't going anywhere.
" how's school been?" she asks, hoping Veronica will bring up Jughead. She misses him like crazy. She hasn't slept in days, the hope of him knocking at her window chasing away the idea of sleep.
" you mean ' how's Jughead?', he's miserable B, he walks in everyday asking for you. His eyes are beat red like he's done nothing but cry. You should talk to him-"
" no, not after what he said, it's very obvious that he doesn't want me" she says rolling over.
Veronica lets out a sigh " I really thin-"
" you should go, I need some rest" Betty said sadly, lying back in her bed. Veronica stood from off the bed and told her friend to call her if anything should happen. She walks out of the room and out of the house, dialing Jugheads number as she walks.
Hey Jughead?
What do you want Veronica?
Ok I know that being all dark and sarcastic Is your thing but I think we've known each other long enough for you to lose the act, Veronica says sharply reacting to Jughead she remark.
Sorry I've just been-
Yea I know, speaking of whom shall not be named Betty is sick, like really sick cause you kicked her out into the rain, douchebag move by the way. I think you should head over here and...you know, get back together-
She's sick?
Yea like temperature of 104 sick jug-
Don't call me that, the only person who can call me that
Is Betty I know Jughead, which is exactly why you need to grow a pair and get your ass over here
If your already there then why should I go?
Cause I'm leaving, and cause she doesn't want me here. She won't admit it but she wants to see you, and I don't think she should be alone. Come on please?
Jughead lets out a shaky breath
Fine, I'll be over as soon as I can.
Veronica smiles and hangs up the phone, knocking on Archie's door and asking him to walk hr to school.
- 20 minutes later -
Jughead slowly approaches Betty's door. He knocks twice. Jughead stands there for a few minutes waiting for a response. Be puts down the to go bag from pops and pulls out his phone, texting Betty. Still no response. Jughead walks around the house and is pleasantly surprised to see the ladder write where he left it leaning against her window. He stared to mount he steps with one hand, the other holding the bag. He reaches the top and peeks inside, the bed is empty he slowly pushes up on the window, happy to see that it's unlocked. He crawls into her room like he's done so many times over, setting the bag of food on the ground.
" Betty?" He says quietly. He's replied with the sound of gagging. Jughead leapt into action at the sound, jogging to the bathroom. He slowly opened the door to see Betty on her knees arched over the toilet, heaving into it. Jughead swipes hit hat of his heat, settling it down on the sink and walks over to Betty. He crouches next to her, pulling the hair out of her face. Betty continues to throw up the contents of her stomach into the ceramic bowl. Jughead rubs her back soothingly until she stops 10 minutes later. She leans backwards, sitting on her heels, resting her forehead on the cool seat breathlessly.
" do you want a drink?" He asks.
" water please" she whispers. He wordlessly goes to his backpack that he left in her room, grabbing a bottle of water. He walks back into the bathroom to see Betty trying to stand on shaky legs. She stumbles forward and Jughead is at her side in an instant, holding her up.
" here" he says handing her the water. She takes a sip and hands it back to him. He walks her over to the sink letting her wash her face and hands. Once she's done she turns to face him.
" thank you"
" don't thank me, I'm the reason your sick in the first place." He says looking away from her.
" I shouldn't have went to your dad. You didn't even make a decision and I took it into my own hands. I'm sorry jug" she says tears filling her eyes. Jughead wraps Betty into her arms holding her like shes everything.
" I would kiss you write now but that would be nasty" Jughead says kissing the crown of her head. Betty laughs a little.
" I brought you a milkshake" he says leading her into the bedroom.
" you are the best Jughead"
