Groaning. Betty slowly blinked her eyes opening. She slammed her eyes shut once more. She pulled the covers to cover her head. Blissful darkness was behind her eye lids once again. She drifted back to sleep.
"Not this time B." A soft voice spoke in her right up turned ear. "Time to wake up baby." She pulled the covers from over their heads.
"I just want to sleep Ronnie." Betty whined refusing to open her eyes. She turned her body away from the window where the sun was shinning. Veronica sometimes refused to close her curtains.
"I can't allow you to sleep too much today baby." Veronica leaned into her girlfriend's body. Gently stroking back the messy hair from the side of Betty's face.
Betty's right arm reached behind her. Pulling Veronica tightly against her. Her eyes slowly opened. "It's hurts Ronnie. It simply hurts." Last night with her parents came flooding back to her. "I just want to shut out the world. My body craves not to be here in this moment right now."
"I would miss you. If you just slept though out your life. I would miss you. Polly would miss you. Your niece and nephew. Archie, Jughead and Kevin would miss you." Veronica breathed against her girlfriend's skin. "I know it's hard with your parents. I know it's easy to escape into unconscious to escape the pain."
Betty tuned to lie with her back against the mattress; Veronica slipping to half cover her. Tracing her soulmate's face with her fingers. "I would miss seeing you baby." She husked out. "Just ..." She sighed a heavy sigh.
"Just it hurts to see your parents in pain." Veronica sighed.
"It wasn't always like this." Betty eyes drifted over towards the window. "I do remember being very small and feeling peaceful in my home. I remember mom loving Polly and I. I remember mom and dad loving one another." Her eyes moved back to meet Veronica's. "I think it was when I was eight when something in mom snapped." Her hand lifted and snapped. "Just like that. One minute she was the loving mother that would love her children unconditional. The next second she was the over bearing mother from hell." Her body stiffen even tighter.
Veronica gently massaged the skin underneath her hands. "There has to be a reason." She softly spoke. "Mom said that Alice was very up tight back when they were growing up. But that Alice had to have a tight skin with growing up in Sunnyside trailer park."
Betty pushed Veronica away from her. Sitting up and yanking the sheets off of her body. "Like that should be any excuses!" She jumped to her feet and stormed over to the opposite side of the room. "Did you know that I had no idea where mom grew up until you moved to Riverdale?" Her fists clenched at her side.
"Baby." Veronica got up and walked over to her soulmate.
Shaking her head. "Don't baby me." She glared into her girlfriend's eyes. "You wanted me awake. So I'm awake. You want me to deal with this. So I'm dealing with this." She seethed out through her gritted teeth.
"Okay." Veronica reached up to rest her palm on the side of her lover's cheek.
"I don't want to go back to that house." Betty silently spoke. "Ever."
