Betty had always known that at some point during her relationship with jughead there would be something that goes wrong, after all isn't that what happens in every relationship?
after jughead had joined the serpents she didn't know how to feel. Of course, she felt kind of lost and she felt as though she didn't know what was happening with him anymore. She needed to know. She needed to find out what's going on. She had so many questions, why are the serpents so important? Why is jughead so important to the serpents? But most importantly why is he keeping things from her. She knew she wouldn't get these answers by just waiting around, she had to go and see for herself what was going on and why they were so important.
after all, she did want to be a part of his world.

And so, its set, betty goes on a track to find jughead. The first place anybody would look was the pops choc 'lit shop.

When she arrives, she tightens her pony tail and slowly walks inside looking around for that one boy with the dark hair and hat like a crown. And there he is, sat alone in a booth. Of course, betty had expected jughead to be there.

She goes and sits across from him in the booth and almost suddenly he shuts his laptop as his face lightens looking at betty

"hey"

He says it so simply, betty thinks. As she just looks at him into his eyes. He said it as though nothing in the world was going wrong right now. And life was just, well perfect.
betty hated that word. "perfect" she had been called it her whole life, but little does anyone know that she was far from perfect.

Betty replies "hey juggie"
with a sad kind of smile to her face, she really hated ruining the mood, but she needed to know.

He answers, "what's wrong?"
jughead could always tell how betty felt, defying on how she looked.

"I just need to as you a few questions…I'm sorry if I'm ruining your mood but I just really need answers if we are going to work jughead." She looked down at the table slightly as she said this a bit disappointed in herself for interfering so much with jugheads personal life.

Jughead takes Bettys hands and holds them across the table, "betty as long as your around there will never be a dull moment, now what's wrong?" he says with more concern in his voice.

"its just why are the serpents so important? What do they want? I just…your keeping things from me jughead and I really don't like it. I just want to apart of this, apart of your world. I don't know juggie I just don't know how to feel. I get so worried when your, not around. I just need to know your safe. I know you don't want me interfering I am sorry" she said looking down, she had no idea how he would react.

"betts" he answered. "you can ask anything you like I'm never, ever going to be mad at you. And the answers to your question? The serpents are so important because my dad is practically 'the serpent king'. The leader of the serpents. The boss. And they don't want anything. I asked to join them betty they are practically family. And I really don't want you to be a part of this, I don't want you getting hurt and it scares me to think you will get hurt." He looks at her hoping for her to lift her head up.

She lifts her head looking dead into jugheads eyes," that's what im scarred of juggie…im scared of you getting hurt."

Jughead just kind of sighs and sits back "I won't get hurt. They will protect me. We protect each other." He smiles and looks at betty," and at least now I know what's been bugging you" jughead squeezes her hands slightly to reassure her." And I promise ill do my absolute best to stay out of trouble. Okay?"

Betty smiles and blushes a little, she loved the way jughead looked at her. It just felt right." Okay juggie I believe you. But if anything happens you'll tell me, right?" she raises an eyebrow.

Jughead chuckled slightly "of course I will" he kisses her hands. "I better get going its getting late. Can I walk you home?"

Bettys smile widens even more "of course you can jughead" she stands taking his hand as they both walked to Bettys house. She felt so warm, so protected by jughead, she just didn't want to ever let go.

When they arrive jughead walks betty up to her door and stands in front of it across from her, betty breaks the silence. "thank you jughead. For walking me home."
she kisses him lightly on the lips before breaking it apart. She bites her lip smiling and walks inside. "Good night juggie"

"betty just one more thing?" he asked rather nervous.

Betty opens the door slightly and steps out a little "of course".

He answers kind of shy. "my dad is out for the weekend I was wondering if you wanted to maybe…you know…come over?" he looked down kicking a stone, he was nervous. What if she says no? or what if she's busy. He would look like a right fool.

Betty smiles," of course I will jughead, now I better get in before my mum kills me..." betty could feel the heating turnt on. It was cold and as soon as you opened the door you can feel the blast of warm air hit you." Ill be at yours at 6?" she proposed.

"of course, betts, I'll see you then". Jughead had the BIGGEST smile ever. And no, I am not over reacting when I say its bigger then the Cheshire cats. He walked home silently but hummingly thinking about what to cook and what betty would like.

Who knows, maybe the night will be a disaster, maybe he will cook the whole thing wrong.
jughead panicked while betty was exited. She knew exactly how she intended the night to go. She just hoped jughead wanted the same thing…
