Betty POV
Tomorrow is Jughead and I's 6 month anniversary! I plan on telling him I love you for the first time, because i really really do. He's so kind, and caring, and handsome, and adorable. All i want to do is lay in his arms always. As I pulled my fluffy, pink comforter over my head, and closed my eyes Jughead's handsome face popped in my head and I drifted to sleep peacefully.
    I woke up to my alarm annoyingly beeping. I groaned and rolled over in my bed, and shut my alarm off. I rubbed my eyes and was met with the baby pink wallpaper on my ceiling. A huge grin spread on my face when i realized what today was. I grabbed my phone expecting a text from him, considering he normally wakes up earlier than me. When I clicked my phone on, I was just met with the picture of Jughead and I at prom. I frowned and turned my phone off. I got up out of bed and went to shower.
     I showered, put very minimal make up on and got dressed in a yellow summer dress. I ran downstairs and skipped out the door to school. When I got there my eyes were looking everywhere for my beanie wearing beau, but he was no where in sight. I sighed and went to my locker to grab my books for first period which i had with Jughead. When I walked in to science class I saw Jughead sitting at our usual table, but my spot was taken by Sweetpea. I walked over to our table and stood in front of it, looking down at Jughead.
"Betty, would you mind sitting somewhere else today? Sweetpea and I really want to talk about the upcoming serpent meeting."
"But Jug"
"Cmon Betty just do it for today" he said cutting me off. With a roll of my eyes I went and took a seat beside Kevin.
"You okay B?" he asked me
"Yeah i'm fine" I lied, I took my eyes away from Jughead and gave Kevin a small smile.
The entire class I sat there staring at Jughead laugh with Sweetpea. Why didn't he want me to sit by him on our anniversary? Why didn't he text me this morning? I shook it off assuming i was overthinking things like I always do.
  After class, I tried to catch up with Jug, but by the time i got out there he was gone. I slowly walked to my next class.
The rest of the day seemed to just drag on, and when it was time to go home i didn't even bother looking for Jughead. I walked home all by myself. By the time I got home, i was so sad. He hadn't even said happy anniversary, he didn't let me sit by him for gosh sakes!! This was turning out to be the worst day ever. I was so sick and tired of waiting to see if he would say anything, so I made a decision to go to his trailer and see him there. I walked the 10 minute walk to his trailer and knocked on the door. After about 3 knocks he finally answered the door, wearing his signature S T-shirt with plaid pajama pants, and of course his beanie. He looked confused when he saw me at his door which made me more confused.
"Betty, what are you doing here?"
I pushed past him into his trailer and sat on his couch. I stared at the floor for a minute until i met his confused gaze.
"Do you know what today is?" i asked him bluntly.
"it's the 3rd of October on a Thursday?" he replied. I laughed but there was no humor in it.
"you seriously forgot today was our 6 month anniversary?" I asked him. He stared at me for a second and then realization crossed over his face. His jaw dropped and he groaned.
"That was today?"
i looked at him in amazement.
"Wow so i really mean that little to you that you can't even remember the day we started dating? I was going to tell you that i love you today, but you obviously don't feel the same" my voice started to raise and i'm sure there was anger written all over my face. Deep down though it wasn't anger i was feeling. I was hurt. I was hurt that I didn't change his life to the point where he would remember the date. He changed my whole world in the best way possible, i was just hoping he felt the same about me.
"Betts, what are you talking about? of course i feel the same! i've just been so busy with the serpents lately" i cut him off
"Too busy to send your girlfriend a text message wishing her a happy anniversary? too busy to not sit by me or wait for me after class? to busy to the point that i have to come here and remind you what today is?" at this point i'm full blown yelling, my hands are curled into right fists as my nails dig into my palms leaving crescent shaped scars. Jughead notices this and reaches for my hand. I jerk away and brush past him to the door. I open the door and am about to leave when he says,
"Betty im so sorry, I love you so much"
"sorry doesn't fix everything" and with that i'm out the door, leaving a heartbroken jughead behind.
