Betty pov

"Archie, can we please watch something other than football"? I ask as I sit on his couch with him and Jughead.

We have been hanging out with Archie everyday to keep his mind off his breakup with Veronica. I feel bad because I knew it was coming and he didn't and he has been really down about it.

"Sure". He flips the channel to a reality tv show which honestly isn't any better but will have to do since I don't really want to punch him right now. I snuggle up next to Jughead and pull the blanket up higher to my shoulders.

"You still cold"? Jug asks me as he wraps his arm around my shoulders and pulls me closer. He has been seeming a lot less sad these past few days, but I'm not sure if it is because he is trying to seem okay for Archie or because he actually does feel better. He still hasn't told me what is or was going on but I'm hoping that he will soon.

"I'm good now". I say as I flash him a small smile and snuggle even closer to him.

"If I wasn't feeling so sorry for myself I would probably think you guys are really cute but right now I hate you guys". Archie says trying not to laugh causing me and Jughead to giggle.

"Sorry dude, were just so in love". Jughead says trying to joke back at Archie but I can tell that he is also being serious at the same time. I lean my face up and kiss him on the cheek, but when I go to turn my head back to the tv jugheads finger lightly turns me back as he kisses me on the lips softly. Causing a smile to spread across my face.

"Gross, I'm going to get a glass of water. Do you guys want anything"? Archie says as he walks towards his kitchen.

"Yes! Popcorn and a soda". Jughead says turning his attention back to the television. Archie leaves the room and I look back at Jug.

"Enjoying the show"? I joke with him.

"No, but it is pretty entertaining watching these people make a fool of them selves on tv". He snickers at me.

I turn my attention back to the tv. The family on the show is definitely crazy, but in some ways normal. You can tell they are all happy and love each other but are extremely out going. It makes me wonder what his family is like and if they are happy. I've never met them and he doesn't really talk about them that much. All I know is that his parents are still together and he has a little sister names Jellybean, which I think is adorable.

"Hey Jug"? I ask him not taking my eyes off of the screen.

"What's up Betts"? I can feel him looking at me but still haven't let my eyes leave the screen yet.

"When can I meet your family? I remember you telling me about your parents and your little sister and I was thinking it would be nice to meet them and get to know them". At first he stays quiet and I'm worried that I said something wrong but then he speaks up.

"I was hoping  you could soon, but I'm not exactly sure yet". I finally allow myself to look away from the television and to Jughead. He looks sad and tired and I immediately feel bad about asking.

"I'm sorry Jughead, I didn't mean to upset you by asking. I didn't realize-"

"Betty it's okay. I do want you to meet them it just .. it might be a while before you get to". He sits up grabs my hands. "My family just has some stuff going on right now and I'd rather you meet them whenever things calm down". Is that what he has been upset about this past week? His home life? I feel so much worse now for asking about them.

"Jug I'm sorry, I hope things get better". A sad smile replaces his frown and he looks me right in the eyes.

"I love you Betty Cooper". He moves a stray hair behind my ear.hearing him say that makes my heart flutter and I lean in and kiss him softly.

"Jughead Jones, I love you". We lean back in the couch and Archie comes back into the room with our bowl of popcorn and drinks and we spend the rest of the day watching tv and joking with each other.

When it's time for me to go home Jughead walks me over to my house and kisses me goodnight. He is staying the night at Archie's again like he has most nights the last few days.

Yesterday after the serpents meeting Juggie and I met Veronica at pops for milkshakes, she seems to be taking the breakup a lot better than Archie has. But I can tell that she misses him, I hope that they can work through whatever this is and be happy together again.

I walk up to my room and slip on some pajamas, put my hair in a bun and crawl into bed. My phone dings and I pick it up to see that I have a text from Jughead.

Jughead: those pj's look cute on you love 💕

What? I instantly look around my room thinking of how he could have saw me then my phone buzzes again.

Jughead: look out the window

I walk over to my bedroom window and see Jughead in the window across from mine smiling. I pull out my phone and send him a text back.

Betty: I'm buying curtains.

I shoot him a Look with one eyebrow raised and a crooked smile.

Jughead: good idea, goodnight Betty ❤️

Betty: Goodnight Jug 💜

I blow him a kiss and walk away from the window and back to my comfy bed. Bundling up under the soft comforter. I plug up my phone and lay it on my bedside table beside my picture of Jughead. I took the picture on one of our first times hanging out alone at pops. The memory bring a smile to my face as I fall fast asleep.
