Hey, hey! Hehe, here is your second chapter of the day!
Betty sat in the lounge thinking about the night her and Sweet Pea shared. It made her smile, she learned so much. He was an only child, his mother raised him on a string tight budget.
She was even his first kiss. It had only been a few days since they became a couple but she couldn't keep him off of her mind.
"BETTY!" A voice yelled in her face, causing her to jump. When she glanced up she saw Archie standing over her with a concerned look on his face. "Oh, sorry Archie. What's up?" She adjusted in her seat and watched him take a seat in the chair next to her.
"I heard a rumor that you were dating a serpent. Is it true?" He stared at her. She smiled "I'm dating Sweet Pea, yes. I'm not ashamed. Is there a problem..?" She felt her stomach tighten, she didn't want to lose her best friend, but, she wasn't going to leave Sweet Pea to make Archie happy.
"You know how I feel about the serpents. They are just thugs. He probably only wants one thing from you. Then he'll move onto someone else." He paused when Betty gasped. "I'm sorry Betty, but you know it's true. People like him can't love. They don't know how to." Betty felt tears starting to form in her eyes at his words. How could he say something like that? How could he just assume he knew anything about their relationship? How dare he accuse Sweet Pea of just using her. He was just jealous because she didn't have eyes for him anymore!
Betty stood from her seat and tossed her bag over her shoulder. "He likes me Archie, I like him. He's the first person I have let in since what happened with Jughead. Why can't you just be happy for us? I don't understand. I thought you were my best friend." She stopped talking, she knew if she kept talking the tears would start to flow freely down her face.
Archie reached out to touch her shoulder but she stepped back "Betty, I'm sorry. I just don't want you to get hurt. Okay?" Betty remained silent, turned and walked out of Archie's grip into the hallway. She made her way to her locker.
How dare he judge me? My happiness? He likes a girl who used to bully people for fun! Ugh!
My rant was cut short when my phone vibrated.
Sweet Pea: I'm sorry babe. I can't make it into school today. Serpent business. I'll swing by your house when I'm done.
Betty: Just be careful, okay?
Betty let out a small sigh as she leaned against her locker.
"A beautiful girl like you should only ever smile." A voice spoke next to her. She jumped and glanced over at the owner of the voice. "Jughead. I told you to leave me alone."
He shrugged "Come on Betts. Don't be like that. I miss you. I miss us, you know, fighting crime, solving a murder! Why can't you just forget about Sweet Pea and come back to me?"
Betty rolled her eyes "What happened? You cheated on me Jughead! You kissed Toni, god knows what else you guys did! Just leave me alone! God!"
She turned and slammed her locker shut, turning once again and walking away from him.
Before she could get too far away a hand grabbed her arm.
She winced in pain, "Now you listen, and you listen good. You are going to leave Sweet Pea soon, or else I'm going to take this into my own hands. Do you understand?" Jughead's voice growled in her ear.
She frowned and looked away, shaking her head. Another growl came from him and he slammed her against the lockers.
"Tell me you understand." He hissed.
Betty tried to push him off but he just used more of his weight to press her into the locker. The lock started to dig into her skin. "Jughead. You're hurting me."
He let go and gently grabbed her chin, turning it towards him. "I love you Betty Cooper." With that, he turned and walked away.
Betty felt her eyes start to sting, she slowly slid down the lockers until her bottom hit the floor. She pulled her knees to her chest and sobbed quietly.
I can't do this alone...
I know this one was a little short but I wanted to post something for you guys. - Love Joce
