Breaking Point

Part 8 - Initation

Betty's POV
As the people get lined up I notice that Toni, Fangs, and Sweets have to do it to. I have to get punched by my new bestfriends. Great. Jordan is going first so he gets lined up to go and I just sit down on a barstool and watch my brother get punched. Once he is almost all the way down the line he falls unconscious. Even though I am worried about him I know that he can handle it. Mom and dad would hit him to just not nearly as much as me. As soon as he's done I run up to him to try and wake him up. Once he comes back to conciseness I give him a hug Fp-"All those in favor of making this brave young man a serpent?" Everyone raises their hand and starts to cheer as Fp puts the jacket around him. Fp-"Now get ready to punch again everyone!" T-"Betty?" Toni said worriedly "Yep, I know that no girl has ever done it but I would way rather get punched than do a pole dance" Fp-"Alright get ready" I walk to the end of the line and as soon as Fp shouts "Go!" I start to get punched. It felt like a bag of bricks was being thrown at me but it's not like I haven't felt it before so I keep going. Some one at the end of the line even hits me with the knuckle buster and I don't pass out just fall to the floor. I stand back up and am greeted by Fp asking everyone if I should be a serpent. The whole bar erupts in cheers louder than I have ever heard before. He puts the jacket on me and everything goes black.

I woke up in my apartment with Toni beside me getting the stuff prepared to clean my cuts. I try to sit up but it feels like I get hit by a truck "owwwwww" T-"Hey, don't try to sit up, you did wonderful by the way" "Thanks" She starts to clean up my face and I wince in pain every time she touches me. T-"Jordan just got a couple cuts and bruises but by the looks of it you probably have a couple broken ribs so it will probably hurt to move for a while." "Ok thank you so much Toni" T-"Your welcome and everyone is downstairs waiting to see if you are ok by the way so if you want to walk down with me you can. I noticed that you don't like a lot of attention on you" "Um I will probably stay up here and take a nap I will be down later but thanks" Toni left and my eyes got heavier and heavier until I couldn't keep them open anymore.

Jordan's POV
Toni came back downstairs by herself and I immediately started to worry about Betts "Is she ok?" T-"Yes she woke up but she was tired so she went back to sleep" Fp-"And?" T-"She has a couple broken ribs, her stomach area has so many cuts and bad bruises and her face is a little beaten up but overall she will be fine" everyone sighed of relief and went back to what they were doing "Thank god"
About an hour later Betty came down the stairs you could tell she was in pain and she was limping. Sweetpea saw her and carefully picked her up bridal style and put her on one of our many couches. Fp-"Hey blondie how ya doin?" B-"Everything hurts.  like everything." She said bluntly. Everyone gave her looks of sympathy. Fp-"If you need anything don't be afraid to ask anyone. You won't heal if you don't rest" B-"Ok thank you". Her and Sweetpea talked for another hour and then everyone started to leave as it was 11:00 at night. Betty started to yawn and sweets carried her upstairs. She immediately fell asleep in the comfort of her own bed and didn't wake up till the next morning.

Betty's POV
I woke up the next morning and everything hurts. My phone says 8am and Jordan is still asleep so I start to slowly make my way down to the bar to eat breakfast. Fp is down there cleaning the counters when he sees me Fp-"Hey blondie! How ya feelin?" "Like I have been hit by a truck" I say with a small smile Fp-"I'll make you some breakfast. Oh and by the way my son and daughter are coming home tomorrow they were at their moms for the weekend. Jughead my son is about your age and he is a serpent and Jellybean my daughter is 10 and she does not want to be a serpent. You will get to know them better tomorrow because they are like always here." "Ok cool"
