Hey guys!!! So I was having trouble coming up with something Bughead themed to write…. so I decided to rewatch season 1. I was on 1x10, The Lost Weekend, and then it struck me… I could write about when Betty stormed off after her fight with Jughead.. rewrite it, my own version. So yeah :)

I do not own the show or comics

Ch1

"BETTY, I'M NOT ONE OF YOUR PROJECTS," Jughead yelled.

Betty had tears pricking her eyes as she turned, shaking her head, and walked out of the room. Jughead felt instant regret as he let out a sigh.

Betty was halfway out the door when he looked up. "Betty, wait," he said as he followed her. But she was already outside. Picking up the pace, her walk had gotten faster. She was headed to the only place she knew would be empty, the register. She had been so stricken with emotion that she hadn't realized Jughead, who was following behind her.

Betty breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the register closed, lights off, door locked. Luckily she had a key on her. Once the door was unlocked she walked in and closed it behind her. It was dark inside, the only light was the street lights shining through the glass windows. She had sat down on the floor, holding her knees up to her chest, sobbing silently. A pool of blood started to form in her palms. Tears had fallen down her face. Still had blurred vision, she heard a quiet knock on the door. Blinking away the tears in her eyes, she turned around to see Jughead through the glass door, a look of regret on his face.

She turned back around and said with sarcastic laughter "It's unlocked you know"

Jughead slowly opened the door. He walked over to Betty, who was still sitting on the floor sobbing. "I'm so sorry Betty," he said as he crouched down beside her, putting a hand on her shoulder. She shrugged it off, leaving Jughead to drop it to his side. "No, no, I'm the one who should be sorry," she said as she buried her head into her knees. "I was the one who threw you this party. Not taking into consideration what you wanted," Jughead sat down beside her when she muttered "You're right, I am a terrible girlfriend,"

"What, Betty, no. You're not a terrible girlfrien-," he said as Betty interrupted him.

"Yes, I am Jughead!" she started to cry again "Then why would I have thrown you this party you didn't want. Why would I keep these secrets from you," Jughead looked up at Betty "What secrets"

Betty looked down "Something is very, very, wrong with me" Betty took a deep breath in, "What happened with Chuck was, I uh, I almost drowned him," Jughead began to worry, this was not his Betty "What?"

Betty looked back up at Jughead "There's this darkness in me, it's overwhelming at times. And I don't know where it comes from, but, but I think that's what makes me do these crazy things," she opened her palms, the blood started to trickle down her arm.

Jughead sighed as he looked down at her hands, grabbing a cloth to clean up the blood. He closed them, bringing them up to his lips. Jughead planted a small gentle kiss on her tense hands, and by that one, small action, made them relax.

Jughead looked at Betty. Their lips were magnetic. And with one small look, they connected. Making the demons go away, at least for this moment.

Hope you guys liked this first chapter… I don't really like how this turned out, but at least it's something.

Thx.
