Hey guys. Sorry if this chapter isn't that great, I'm in a little bit of a hole. The black hand is going to be making an appearance soon. He will play a much, much bigger role in this story than he did in the show. I love the Betty attention that it brought. Here's my chapter! Happy Valentine's day! I own nothing, just using the characters!

Betty smiled brightly as she looked up at her boyfriend. "Are we going to keep this between us or do we not care who knows?" Betty asked quietly. Sweet Pea shrugged "I don't care who knows. I'm dating you because I like you, not because I'm looking for other people's praises." Betty grinned and said "Good. Because I don't want to keep it a secret. I don't care what people think." She kissed him again.

"I need to finish my lunch. You do too." Sweet Pea instructed. Betty raised her eyebrow slightly "Oh, so, now you're the boss of me?" she teased. Sweet Pea smirked as he leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "Only if you want me to be." With that, he pushed himself off the lockers and walked her back to the cafeteria, once they entered Sweet Pea walked back to his table and sat back down in his seat. Betty couldn't help the blush that burned brightly on her cheeks. Veronica raised an eyebrow knowingly then ate the rest of her salad. Jughead looked over at Betty and offered a light smile "Where'd you run off to?"

Betty played with her fingers under the table "Just to my locker, I thought I forgot my book for my next class." Jug sent a small glare at her, he knew when she was lying. "Oh. Well, if you did we could always share mine. We have our next class together." She frowned at his words. "Ah. Well, I need to just check up on some… Stuff." Betty made something up as she stood, shrugging her bag onto her shoulder. "Bye guys! I'll talk to you later." She said before tossing out the rest of her food and walking out of the cafeteria again. The blonde sighed quietly and closed her eyes when she walked into the Blue and Gold office.

Distract yourself.

She said to herself, even though it was mostly clean in the office she decided to clean and organize even more. When there was nothing left to do she walked out of the office towards her next class. "Did you have fun doing your 'Stuff'?" Jughead's voice boomed in the quiet hallway. Betty jumped away in defense then said a soft "Jughead. You scared me." He laughed and shrugged "Sorry Betts." The tension was thick in the air, something was off about Jughead, even though he was smiling, his eyes told a different story. A story of regret and maybe a hint of anger. "I need to go." She quickly said, putting her head down and starting to walk away. Jughead lightly hooked his arm around her waist and pulled her to him.

"I wanted to talk to you Betty. Alone." He pleaded. Taking pity, she nodded and headed back to the Blue and Gold's office. "What did you want to talk about Jug?" He slowly rubbed his hands against the other "I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for hurting you the night of my dad's retirement party… I thought it would be best if we went our separate ways. But, instead of doing what I intended, you start flirting with Sweet Pea." Jughead moved towards her "Why? He's my friend." Betty frowned "I like him Jughead. I'm sorry if that hurts your feelings. I deserve to be happy, so do you."

It was Jughead's turn to frown. "Do you like him more than me? I know you still like me." His voice was soft as he spoke. "Jughead don't do this to me… Don't make me feel bad because I want to be happy with someone other than you." Jughead punched the top of the desk he was near. "But I want you to be happy. With me though. We're meant to be." Betty felt her eyes stinging with tears as she shook her head "No. I want to be with Sweet Pea. You had your chance! I'm not going to come back to you every time you call. I'm not your freaking dog!" Betty spat back as she walked to the door. "I'm done talking about this. If you want to be my friend, then fine but I'm not leaving him for you." She stomped out of the room in a huff. "Betty!" She heard a male call. "What?" She growled out, turning around. When she saw Sweet Pea standing there she smiled "Oh, hey babe." He raised an eyebrow "Who did you think I was?"

Betty shrugged "I'm just tired from cleaning the Gold and Blue office." Sweet Pea leaned down, placing a soft kiss on her lips. The blonde hugged him tightly and looked behind him. Jughead was standing behind Sweet Pea with a glare on his face, when he made eye contact with Betty he stopped glaring at her and shook his head. "Come on. Let's go to class." Sweet Pea said, breaking her from Jughead's retreating form. "Do we have next class together?" Betty asked excitedly, he nodded and started walking. Betty walk still in front of him, not wanting to let him go, she started to walk backwards, laughing every once and awhile. "What are you doing after school?" He asked. "Nothing, just homework and chores… Would you like to come over?"

Sweet Pea nodded "Sure, we can do some homework. Maybe you can help me with some of my English homework because I have no idea what you guys are talking about." He stopped outside the door "Of course." And they walked into class together.

The class was, well… Intense. Jughead kept staring at them the entire time until Sweet Pea called him out on it. Betty frowned as she looked at her hands. There was blood dripping from her palms, something she did to get away from everything, numb herself. Jughead always became frustrated with her when she did it. "You okay?" Sweet Pea's voice was gentle. Betty's head and eyes snapped up as she slowly turned over her palms. "Yeah, I was just trying to listen to him, he always talks really fast. Sometimes it's hard to understand what he is saying." Just then her phone vibrated, she quickly opened the text and read it.

Jughead: Stop doing that.

The blonde looked up at him, he was only sitting in the next row, he placed his elbow on his desk then fisted his hand in the exact way she was doing. Betty looked away.

Betty: Why are you doing this? I thought we were friends…

Jughead: We are. Friends don't let other friends hurt themselves.

The bell rang and they all stood, some kids shoved their stuff into their bags and others carried it out under their arm. Betty slowly packed everything away. She stopped suddenly when some of her blood had gotten onto her paper. "I need to go to the bathroom," Betty said when they walked out of the classroom. "I'll see you at the end of the day. Only two classes left." Betty kissed him before heading to the woman's restroom. She dropped her bag and started to wash her hands. "I thought you said you wouldn't do it again." His voice echoed in the small bathroom.

Betty frowned "This is for woman only. Get out Jughead." Jug frowned and walked towards her until she was backed up against the sink. Before Betty could say anything, she felt his lips on hers. "I don't think I can be okay with you and Sweet Pea being together. I need to Betty. I know you love me. I'll come over tonight." Jughead kissed her again. Betty pushed him off softly and looked down "I can't Jughead. I like Sweet Pea. Not you anymore. Please just leave me alone."

Jughead growled lowly "I will have you again Betty Cooper."

More possessive Jughead and Sweet Pea coming in the next chapter! Tell me what you think, also, I have most of the Black hood stuff planned out already, but, what would you like to see happen with him? Thank you for reading! - Joce
