As I raced through the sliding door of the Riverdale hospital , my mind was spinning. I had received a frantic phone call from my friend Veronica Lodge that my girlfriend , my beautiful perfect girl friend Betty Cooper had been in a near fatal car crash and now lay in a hospital bed , fighting for her life. Betty had tried to stop our mutual friend Archie Andrews from playing a stupid game of drag race chicken at Serpents Hill against another class mate Reggie Mantle

I had received the call during my shift at Pop's chocolate shoppe where I worked as a short order cook. I had rushed out the door after telling my boss Pop Tate what had happen to Betty . He had told me to go that he would take care of things at the diner. I thanked him over my shoulder as I ran to my truck.

Now as I stood in the emergency room looking around for some one ,any one who could tell me where and how my girl friend was. Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder ,I turned and came face to face with the person I didn't want see,Archie. "Jug..." I shake off the hand and glared at him as I hissed " Archie if you're really smart , you'll stay the hell away from me. "

I then turned to see Veronica who had come up to us . Ignoring Archie completely I asked Veronica . " Veronica ...Where's Betty. " She looked at me through her tears as she hugged me close. " it doesn't look good Juggie." I looked at her as again I asked " Veronica ...Where is she? I want to see her... " Ronnie took hold of my arm,then lead me down the corridor and stopped at one of the rooms. Betty's parents were waiting outside of their daughter's room.

They stood as we approached them, I looked pleadingly at Alice Cooper "Mrs Cooper.. Can i see her? Please ?" She nodded as Hal Cooper stood beside her, silently with his arm around his wife's shoulder " You can Jughead ..." I noticed as Veronica and I made our way past them, Alice was glaring at Archie and pointed a finger at him "Not you...You stay away."

I walked past them and I made my way into Betty's hospital room. The room was eerily quiet as I made my way to the bed. My eyes misted as I looked at my beautiful girl who lay battered and almost lifeless on the bed.

I then pulled up the nearest chair close to the bed and tenderly took hold of the limp hand. I kissed it as I looked up at her face. I spoke softly as I gently touched her face with my free hand "Hey there Juliet, nurse is off duty. You can open those baby blues now. Please Betts.. I need you...don't leave me.." I kissed her hand again and put my head down on the bed and wept openly.

I sat like this for a little while, stroking and kissing her hand and silently willing Betty to open her eyes. I heard the door open behind me and Veronica came up behind stood beside me and put her hand on my shoulder. " Are you ok Jug..." I wiped my eyes as I looked over my shoulder at Veronica " Not really. I just want her to wake up." I looked back at Betty and brought her hand to my lips. " Come back to me."

I spoke quietly to Veronca "You know,she is the only girl I've ever kissed." Ronnie answered " Yeah ,Me too."

Ok not sure about this .. Should I continued... And how do you think Jughead should react to Ronnie's answer.. How did you like her answer...
