My Brothers Best Friend

Where Did We Go Wrong?

Jughead and I stood in front of everyone in the living room. My mom and Chic were sitting very confused. My heart raced and I was in panic. Jughead took my hand.

"I'm gonna be very blunt when I say this...I'm in love with your daughter and your sister." Jughead exhaled. So much relief. My mom gave a shocked look and Chic looked angry.

"What? How long have you two-"Chic started.

"We've been together for 9 months." Jughead said confidently.

"9 mOnThS?! You guys didn't tell me and you've been lying to me?!" Chic yelled. He stood up and got in front of Jughead.

"I can't believe you two. You've been lying to me for months and you're not telling me until now!" Chic yelled. He then punched Jughead and beat him to the ground. Chic got on top of Jughead and wouldn't stop punching him. I began to cry.

"No! Chic, stop! Get off of him!" I screamed trying to pull Chic off. My mom pushed me back and ripped Chic off. Chic was angry but then had fear in his eyes.

"Now that's enough, Charles! You need to calm down!" Mom yelled. Chic then had tears come down his face. Jughead stood up and he had a bloody nose and bloody lip. The blood from his nose went all over his cheeks. I went up to him and grabbed his face.

"I'm so sorry, Juggie." I cried. Jughead pulled away and walked towards the door. I sobbed and begged him to stay.

"We need to talk about this, baby! I love you!" I sobbed.

"Please...let me go home. I'll get my stuff later and go back to Pops." Jughead whispered. Jughead then left the house and I looked at my family.

"Elizabeth, go to your room."

"Mom-"

"Now!" She screamed. I ran upstairs and slammed the door. I sobbed for hours. I lost the love of my life, my goofy brother, my amazing mother, and the respect for myself. It was night time and I sat by my window. I was crying so much, but then my phone rang. It was Jughead.

"Juggie, my sorry."

"It's my fault, we shouldn't have told him. It was my idea too anyways. I need to tell you something." He said quietly. I tried to dry my tears but they kept coming back.

"You are by far the greatest thing that's ever happened to me in my whole 18 years on this Earth. You proved I was worth loving, and I know I was loved too. Not just by any girl, but by you. Betty Cooper, my little beacon of light. I love you, I'll never stop loving you."

"Don say goodbye to me! Don't give up on us!" I sobbed.

"Baby...our story...it's only the beginning. We're not even close to the end." He said calmly. He hung up and I cried for what seemed like forever.
