The new girl

Chapter 33

Betty's POV

My eyes gently opened from the natural light shining in through the blinds. I pushed my hands on the mattress in attempt to get up but I was immediately pulled down. I turnt to my side and saw Jughead laying beside me half asleep. 'What are you doing here?' I ask, his eyes squinty open and he smiles, 'morning to you too. You were screaming last night in your sleep, so I came up here to calm you down and must have fell asleep' he said, 'Do you want breakfast?' i asked as i sat up and he nodded before pulling the duvet cover over his head and going back to sleep. I stood up and stretched my arms before walking downstairs.

I made some pancakes and stacked them onto a plate, tipping syrup over the pile and grabbing two forks, I placed the plate onto a tray and walked up to the room. 'Juggie, wake up' I said placing the tray on the bed side table, 'no' he groaned grabbing a pillow and covering his face, I grabbed the pillow and pulled it out of his grip, 'I made pancakes' I whispered and watched as he grew a huge smile on his face. He sat up and I placed the tray between us and handed him his fork. 'Your amazing, did you know that' he said eating a forkful of pancake, I laugh and place the pancake in my mouth. 'I don't want to sound like a narcissist but these pancakes are out of this world' I smiled and he returned one.

After we had finished he took it downstairs whilst I got dressed, i got dressed into a fresh pair of panties and bra, a baby pink top with a small playboy bunny symbol and a black skirt. I brushed my teeth and put my socks on before tying my hair up in a tight ponytail. Once I was downstairs Jughead went and changed into his usual everyday outfit. 'So you ready?' He asks and I look up from where I was laying on the sofa, 'for what' I said, 'we are going around town, exploring' he responded and I got up and slid on my black airforces.

We got into the car and drove to the woods, he stopped the car and we got out. 'Please tell me you didn't take me out here to kill me?' I laughed, 'where else could I commit the perfect murder,' he joked 'come on' he added grabbing my hand and leading me through the woods. 'Where are you taking me?' I asked and he shook his head 'wait and see'.

After a few minutes we approached a more clear area that led to part of sweetwater river, the water was pure blue, the grass was dry and there were two big rocks placed next to each other. It was beautiful. 'I normally would come here as a kid when I felt stress, angry or sad. It helped me relax' Jughead said as we sat onto the rocks, 'we never really spoke about our childhood, I guess we just chose not to bring it up' I said and Jughead nodded. 'Why don't we talk about it later and go swimming now' Jughead smiled, 'I don't have a swimsuit, you should of told me we were going swimming' I said, 'just wear your underwear. It's not like I haven't seen you naked before' he smirked and began stripping. 'What about your cast?' I asked and he shrugged 'if it gets wet, it gets wet. I don't care.' I took my shoes and socks of first, then I pulled my top over my head revealing my pink Calvin Klein bra, after I removed my skirt and was left in my matching underwear. I looked up at jughead and he was stood in his pair of boxers holding his hand out for me to take, and I did.

'Did you ever swim in this as a kid' I asked and I saw a small smile spear on his face, 'a few times' he simply responded and we walked into the water. It was cold at first but after it was below my chest it got warmer, I pushed my arms outwards causing water to splash over Jug. I laughed and he turnt around and smirked. He brought his arms back and pushed them forward causing a small thin wave but big enough to go over my head. 'I hate you' I pouted and began splashing water at him. 'No you don't, otherwise you wouldn't be here' he smiled, I roll my eyes and splash him once more making him walk over to me and put me on his shoulder. 'Juggie put me down' I whine kicking my legs around, I can see the smirk on his face when he chucks me into the more deeper part, I could just about reach the floor.

I swam back over to him and he laughed, 'I keep thinking about this so can I ask you one thing and you not get mad?' I asked and he nodded, 'so the day at the hospital when you hated me why were you so mad, what happened?' I said and he shrugged. 'Betts, lets get one thing straight it's not possible for me to go from Loving you to hating you.' He said with a small smile. Did he still love me, after everything that happened? 'So you like me, because my life would be crap if you didn't' I asked and he chuckled slightly. 'Betty course I like you. If I'm being honest I still love you, you can't get rid of love, it will always be there. You know I'd do anything for you.' He whispered. 'You still love me After everything?' I asked and he nodded, 'I'll wait, I'm okay with you not loving me at the moment, I just want you to know I love you' he said making smile. 'Jug, you know the only reason why I never said it back that day was because it would make it harder to leave, I did love you and I still do, I don't think I could ever stop, why do you think I came back, when I heard you had went missing I went crazy and then when I heard you were in hospital I was a sobbing mess' I giggle and he pulls me closer to him, we just stand there our eyes locked. 'So are you going to kiss me or should I be the one to do it first again' I smirk and he smiled leaning closer till our lips met. It felt like all these weights on my shoulder had been lifted, like I could breath again. I let my hands travel up to his head and fiddle with his hair at the back pulling him in closer whilst he does the same and caresses my cheeks with his thumbs, we both melt into the kiss whilst smiling.

Not long after we parted and he rested his forehead on mine, 'so let's do this right this time,' he said, 'I love you Betty' he smiled. 'I love you too' I whisper and we kiss one last time before getting out of the water, getting dressed and walking back to the truck hand in hand and big smiles planted on our face. 'Do you want to go shopping, you don't have a lot of clothes?' He asked and I nodded when we were in the car.
