Destined

Chapter Thirty Eight

{Betty's POV}

The night sort of flew by. Very few of us were in the bar so we had all decided to play pool together. And that quickly turned into a drinking game of sorts. Cheryl, Veronica, Sweetpea and Joaquin were pretty wasted by the time midnight hit. I hadn't drank much, as I wanted to keep and eye on Jughead. He had refused to play, rather standing idly by making sure everything was right with the world.

"Betttttyyyyyyy" Veronica slurred as she slung her arm around my shoulders. She was more than wasted as I laughed trying to keep my balance as her lack of balance was messing with mine. "You know, I lovvvvveeeee you!" She squealed. I laughed with a smile as I quickly put my pool stick down and wrapped my arm around her waist.

"Okay, V. Let's get you to bed" I chuckled.

"But, but why?! The night is still so young!!" She exclaimed throwing her hands in the air, spilling some of her drink.

   "Maybe, but you're wasted and need to sleep it off" I pointed out snatching the alcohol from her and beginning to guide her towards her room. Sweetpea was still chatting with the guys so I decided to leave him be. Entering her room, I set her on the bed before heading to turn on the light. "You're gonna feel like hell tomorrow"

   "Don't remind me" she groaned, pushing off her shoes and beginning to undo her skirt. As I went to stop her, so I could leave, I was interrupted by a loud noise. "What was that?"

   "I don't know..." I said, motioning for her to stay put at I cracked the door open. I couldn't see much as her bedroom door was located beneath the stairs, so I was only able to see through the small slits between each stair. I could see the guys, along with Cheryl and Toni standing around as though nothing was happening. "I don't see anything...." I said, still looking out at them.

   "Uhh, Betty....." Veronica said in a scared voice. As I turned, it felt as though I was in slow motion. The world was coming to a stop as I turned towards my best friend..... with a gun to her face.

   "Don't move" a male voice said from behind a mask. He was accompanied by two other males, all in black ski masks with holes cut out for eyes. Nothing about them was familiar.

   "Please, don't hurt her" I stated, raising my hands up.

   "Shut up" he hissed. For a moment, I obeyed. I didn't want V to get hurt. But I also didn't want to just stand here waiting for the obvious.

   "I'll come with you, just leave her and everyone else alone." I offered. Putting two and two together, it was easy to understand what was happening.

   "Sorry sweetie, were here for both of you." He stated before smacking Veronica on the head with the butt of his gun. She fell to the ground unconscious, and then he came for me. As he did, I could hear the screams of Cheryl and Toni, the guys shrieking at each other to get water.

   "Fire!!!" I could hear Joaquin scream. It's as though my heart broke into a million pieces as I heard Jughead scream my name.

   "Betty!?!?!?" And that was the last thing I heard before everything went blank.
