To Protect You

Part 23

Jughead

I came back from the store and walked into our cabin, I heard noises coming from the bedroom. I thought it would probably be Betty so I put away the stuff I bought and I walked in. The first thing I saw was a lot of blood and a weird dude laying on top of Betty. I ran over to them and hit the guy in the back of his head as hard as I could. He looked at me, grabbed his clothes and ran out. I saw his face so I could tell the police what he looked like. Then I looked at Betty. She was naked and covered in blood. She was really weak and didn't move. She kept bleeding but I couldn't see where it came from

J- Betty, Betty please! Betty wake up what happened!? Betty!?

She didn't move, I checked her pulse. Her heart was beating. I held my ear close to her mouth, she was also breathing. Phew. I wanted to call someone but then I remembered there wasn't any internet connection and the only phone we could use had a code on it I didn't know, I knew I had to help Betty so I grabbed a med kit and carefully picked her up.

I walked into the bathroom and laid her down on the carpet. I made a bath ready while talking to her

J- Betty, it's gonna be okay everything will be fine. He's gone and I'm  here with you everything will be fine.

I carefully put her down in the bath while holding her head up and I started to clean her to see where the blood came from, I kept cleaning her and then suddenly I heard a weak voice

B-jug? She had her eyes slightly open. J- hey Betty, it's gonna be okay I promise, just please try to stay awake, I'll get you a doctor! B- j-jug? J- yes baby? B- I-I love you... and she was out again. I cried but I knew she would make it, she had to make it. It looked like she lost a lot of blood and after a while I found out the blood was coming from her arm, grabbed the med kit and carried her out of the bath. She was still completely naked but I didn't care I started to clean the wound and I put bandages on it. She also had small cuts on her shoulder formed like fingernails, I took care of them too. I put my

bathrobe on her and carried her to the bed. I knew I had to find someone but I didn't want to leave her alone. I decided it was better to go out quickly and look for neighbors or other people around. I kissed her head and said J- betts, I'll be back in a minute I'm going to get help it's gonna be okay, I love you. Before I left I checked her pulse and her breath, her breath was really slow, I wasn't sure what that ment but I knew I had to find help, I made sure she wouldn't choke in her sleep and ran out.

Outside

J- HELP SOMEONE HELP, PLEASE MY GIRLFRIEND LOST A LOT OF BLOOD AND I NEED HELP PLEASE SOMEONE CALL AND AMBULANCE PLEASE HELP!!

I kept running around screaming but there was no one near, I saw a sign that lead to a town nearby so I started running again, I saw a few houses and started ringing the doorbell of the first house, no one opened so I started knocking on the door as hard as I could. A woman that looked like she was about 40 years old opened the door and saw my tears, she looked worried

J- miss please help me, my girlfriend lost a lot of blood and I don't know if she'll make it I need an ambulance please

W(woman)- where is she? J- at the cabins nearby, we're staying here with school but she wasn't feeling well so we stayed at the cabin today.

She ran inside and came out with a phone.

W- okay call and ambulance while we get there.

We ran to the cabin and I called an ambulance and tried to explain what happened as well as I could, they send an ambulance over, as soon as I hung up I started explaining what the guy looked like to the woman in case I would forget.

We got to the cabin, the ambulance wasn't there yet so I ran in

W- can I come in to or do you want me to wait. J- you can come in.

I ran up to Betty and for the third time this day I checked if she was breathing and if her heart was beating. Her breath was even slower then before and I started crying my eyes out, the

woman came up to us and out an arm around me W- she will be fine. Then we heard people yell from outside A(ambulance)- where are you? The woman walked up to them and they came in and ran to Betty. One of the people asked what happened and I told them everything I knew.
