Them [bughead]

~Her~

S
I walk slowly knowing what is going to come. I know I'm going to see her. Dead. But I can't stop. How do I stop? My legs won't listen to me. They keep moving. My arms open her door. Inside Polly's grey body lies. Her eyes are closed and her body stiff. I walk closer and sit down.
"Polly?" I know she's dead. But maybe...maybe she isn't. "Polly?" Out of nowhere her eyes open and she stares at me.
"You...killed me." She whisper. "Now I kill you." She holds up a knife and I start to scream.

"Betty! Wake up!" Someone shook Betty intensely and she opened her eyes. She heard someone screaming and didn't realize she's the one screaming until she tried to tell whoever was screaming to shut up. "Betts!" He helped her sit up. She stopped screaming as his arms wrapped around her body. "It's okay. I'm here now." Jughead cautiously whispered.
"I..." He stroke her hair and she untangled herself from his arms. "I'm fine." She said. She didn't sound fine.
"Are you sure?" Betty nodded and Jughead stood up as to walk outside.
"Stay." She said. "I mean...only if you want to." Jughead smiled quickly but went back to his usual face as he turned around. Trying to play it cool.
"Okay." He said and got in the bed. She looked at him.
"When does the pain stop?" Jughead looked into her grey eyes.
"I don't think it ever does. But you learn how to deal with it." He noticed her mole on her cheek and realized he had one on the exact same spot. And as cheesy as he was he thought to himself that this was meant to be. "What did you dream?" Betty closed her eyes for a few seconds and then looked at him again.
"It's weird. I don't even remember." She did remember. But she didn't want to talk about. Couldn't talk about.
"Okay." She rested her head on his chest.
"I'm sorry I flipped out on you. I should've just asked about Melissa." Jughead smirked.
"Actually it's Melanie." He said foolishly.
"Shut up and take my apology." She said.
"Fine. It's okay." He laughed. He closed his eyes and she thought he had fallen asleep.
"You make me happy." She whispered. He heard. But didn't want to make a big deal out of it. If she would've seen him she would've seen the big dorky smile he had on his lips. Maybe she would've kissed them.

She woke up a few hours later by screaming. Not hers this time. She looked around but found the room empty.
"Get the hell out!" Jughead shouted. "You're drunk out of your ass! You can't even stand straight!" Betty silently walked to her closed door to listen on whatever was going on outside.
"Ju...Jughead." Someone said slowly. "It's my...my hooooome." The slurry voice said. Betty walked outside to see what was going on. Jughead was turned away from her. Screaming at a guy in front of him. He looked a lot like Jughead. Dark hair, green eyes and they had the same nose.
"I don't care!" Jughead was furious. But Betty heard a slight fear in his voice too.
"You found a hot girl." The man said as he eyed Betty. "She doesn't...look as cheap as...as everyone else you fuck." Jughead clenched his fists.
"Shut the fuck up before I kill you. Betty is my girlfriend." He turned around and looked her in the eyes. Afraid that he might've gone too far too fast. But she gave him a slight nod, signaling they were good.
"Girrrrrlfriend huh?" The man laughed. "Is that what he t-told you?" Betty ignored him. "He will throw you away in a f-few hours and fuck someone else." He laughed. A mean and scary laugh.
"FP!" Jughead growled. "That isn't true." Betty looked at Jughead. What if it was true? Maybe he didn't love her. Jughead turned around. "He's just pissed. Ignore him." Betty nodded.
"Is she g-good?" FP asked and Jughead ignored him. "In bed I mean." Betty gasped. Jughead stared at him for a second until he hit him in the stomach.
"Get the hell out!" He growled before punching him in the face. "You don't say that to people!" Jughead was so mad all he could see was red.
"You do." FP said through the blood.
"Betty, get out. Go to the trailer beside this. It's where Toni lives." Betty did as she was told and walked to Toni's trailer.

She knocked on the door and almost immediately the pink haired girl opened.
"Hi uhm...Jughead sent me here." Betty said. Insecure about the girl in front of her.
"What? Why?" She asked. Her hair was a mess and she had a bathrobe around her skinny body. She looked sweaty.
"His dad was home and he said..." Betty hesitated. How was she going to tell her what he had said?
"You don't have to tell me. I can imagine what he said." Toni looked at her and leaned in to the trailer. "Babe! Get dressed! We have a visitor!" She shouted through the trailer.
"I'm sorry if I interrupted anything." Toni smiled and shook her head.
"Oh no problem honey, come inside." Toni said and Betty walked inside.
"Who's here?" A voice Betty recognized said. She peaked further inside and found Cheryl sitting in a black skirt and a bright red bra.
"Cheryl?" She said and Cheryl smiled.
"If it isn't cousin Betty!" She smiled as well and put on a simple red shirt. When she was dressed she gave Betty a hug. "What brings you to the wrong side of the tracks?" Betty shook her head.
"Long story." Damn long story.
"Cheryl, she's Jones' new girl." Cheryl's mouth opened and her eyes widened.
"Jughead Jones fell for you?" She laughed.
"Is that so hard to think?" Betty said insecure.
"You're a Northsider!" Betty shrugged.
"So are you."
"Well Toni doesn't hate Northsiders as much as Jones do."
"Wait...oh my...Toni is the girl you're dating?" Cheryl smiled and gave Toni a kiss.
"Yeah." Toni said.
"Wow congratulations!" Betty said.
