Til Death Do Us Part
Chapter 2
"What the fuck were you thinking Elizabeth?" her mother Alice Cooper asked as Betty shed off her jacket throwing it on the table waiting for her mother to lay into her like she always did.
"Can we talk about this in the morning? It's two in the morning and I don't want your screaming to wake the neighbors."
"No Elizabeth we need top talk about this now. What were you thinking? Do you know how dangerous it is to be out there in the middle of the night?"
"Of course, I do, why do you think I find it so exciting?"
"You're too much sometimes you know, that right?"
"I must be your daughter then. Good night mom." She smirked going up to her room and locking the door so she could have some real privacy. God, what a night.
Sighing. Betty threw her wet clothes on the floor stepping into her shower as she washed the chlorine off her skin and hair thinking about Veronica's body near hers. God. What a night. She just wished it hadn't have gotten interrupted. Now Veronica Lodge would never give her a chance. Their parents had assured her of that.
When she was done with her shower, Betty laid down on her bed thinking about her night as she drifted off to sleep wondering when she would see Veronica Lodge next.
"Elizabeth! Breakfast!"
Groaning, Betty climbed out of her bed picking out the clothes that she wanted to wear that day as her mother swung open the door making her pull her shirt to her covering her bra.
"Jesus mom there's this thing called knocking have you ever heard of it?"
"Privacy is for daughters who aren't grounded. Your door stays open until your two weeks is done. Now get your ass downstairs before I make it three."
Her mother walked off satisfied with her punishment as her sister Polly stood there mouth agape at what she just heard.
"What did you do to piss mom off so much?"
"Shut the fuck up Polly." Betty replied slamming her door. Damning the consequences.
"Open the damn door Elizabeth!" her mother screeched as Betty rolled her eyes.
After she was done dressing, Betty opened the door going downstairs as her mother slammed her plate down next to her seeming pissed that Betty had dared to defy her so early in the morning. Good. Betty loved it when she was pissed off.
"Good morning to you too." Betty muttered sipping on her orange juice as her dad came in seeming rather happy this morning.
"Good morning my beautiful family." He said with a kiss to her mother's cheek.
"Morning honey." Her mother smiled suddenly looking happy once more. She was so full of shit.
Would her father still be smitten with her mother if he knew that she was screwing around with her former lover F.P Jones, she didn't think so.
"Morning Elizabeth. Polly." Hal said grabbing the orange juice from the fridge.
"Morning daddy." Polly smiled placing a kiss on his cheek making Betty roll her eyes. Did she have to be apart of the fakest family in America?
"How is your morning Elizabeth?"
"Peachy father."
"I take it you learned your lesson from last night?"
"Will it make you sleep better at night if I did?"
"What do you think?"
"In that case, yes I did."
"I expect you to act better from now on. Do I make myself clear?"
"Crystal."
"Good. Now hurry up and finish your breakfast. I wouldn't want you to be late to school."
"Yes sir." She answered trying to finish as fast as possible so she could get out of there as fast as possible.
When she was almost finished, a knock sounded at their door as Betty put her plate in the sink and opened the door for no other than Archie Andrews. Her best friend since childhood.
"Andrews. Finally, let me get my stuff and then we can head out." She said grabbing her backpack and having a quick goodbye to her family before heading out with Archie.
"So how did the function go last night?"
"Oh that. It was lame as fuck, but what happened afterwards was amazing."
"What happened afterwards?"
"You can't tell anyone."
"I promise, what happened last night?"
"Would you believe that I kissed Veronica Lodge last night?"
"You didn't."
"I did."
"I thought your families hated each other?"
"Oh, they do, but it doesn't mean I have to follow their example. I'd rather be my own person."
"Good for you."
"Do you think I have a shot?" she asked as the school creeped into her vision.
"You're Betty Cooper. Of course, you have a chance. Now let's get to class." Archie replied as Betty sighed looking at the school and wondering what life had in store for her next.
