the next day was suppose to leave the hospital that morning but ended up leaving at lunchtime, she got changed into some sports shorts and one of Cheryl's jumpers she still couldn't walk so they got a pair of crutches to practice on and a wheelchair for most of the time so betty sat in it and Cheryl wheeled her out of the hospital, they went to the apartment and Cheryl showed Betty her surprise room

, it had been painted sky blue and it had a small double bed, with pale pink bed sheets a blue wardrobe a mirror and a window with white mesh curtains "Oh my god! i love it, thank you so much Cher!" Betty said putting her arms out so Cheryl would lean down and hug her, "let me show you my room!" Cheryl said wheeling Betty into Cheryl's room that had been painted red, and had was much bigger than Betty's it had two double beds red walls a very large closet a big window and a white dressing table

"its beautiful Cheryl but why is there two beds?"Betty asked curiously

"well i thought until you are a bit better and more independent you could sleep in here so i could help you" Cheryl explained sitting down opposite Betty blushing

"thanks you're the best, i would love to stay in here for a bit" Betty said, smiling

"wanna go watch some tv?" Cheryl asked, Betty nodded

Cheryl wheeled her in to the living room and helped her onto the sofa and sat down resting Betty's leg on her lap and switching on the tv. After a few hours Cheryl got a call from Toni asking if she wanted to ego out on a date to a new resturant but Cheryl said no because she had to look after Betty, Cheryl didn't realise Betty had overheard the convasation and felt bad so she told Cheryl that she should go and that she would call Veronica or Jughead to come over,

so Cheryl got ready and Betty called Jughead who said he would be over in ten minutes so Cheryl left making sure that Betty was ok, after about ten minuets, Jughead came through the door and smiled as soon as he saw Betty sat on the sofa "Juggie!" Betty exclaimed,

"hey Juliet" Jughead replied sitting next to Betty and leaning over to kiss her

Betty played down and put her head on his shoulder

"Juggie when do you think i'll be able to walk again" she said out of the blue "i don't know Betts, why you asking that?" Jughead asked looking at his girlfriend

"i mean I'm my own person, Cheryl won't even leave me here without a babysitter and don't get me wrong your not a babysitter and I'm having a great time but i had to really convince her to spend time wth her girlfriend, and i don't want to be a burden for anyone" Betty sulked, Jughead sat up and looked her straight in the eye

"baby you will never be a burden to anyone, Cheryl just like all of us just wants you to get better and up and walking" Jughead reached out and stroked Betty's cheek wing away a tear, Betty sniffled and smiled "can i show you my room its really cool" Jughead laughed and nodded "can you help me into my chair" Jughead lifted Betty up and put her in the chair. Betty showed Jughead around the apartment, after an hour Toni and Cheryl came home

"hey" they said walking in putting there jackets on the rack before sitting down next to Jughead and Betty

"how was your date?" Betty asked, Cheryl and Toni smiled and looked at each other

"it was great what did you guys get up to?" Cheryl asked

"nothing much just talked" Jughead said holding Betty's hand

"me and Jug better get going, me, Jug and Fangs need to work on a school project" Toni said,

they said bye and Jughead and Toni left and Cheryl sat down with Betty after a few hours Cheryl helped Betty to bed and they both fell asleep, Betty didn't get a very good nights sleep as she couldn't get comfortable with the splint on so at around five am when the sunlight started to stream through the windows and the birds began to chirp she struggled to get in her chair but she did eventually, she wheeled her self into the living room and sat reading a book for a while,

at around half past eight Cheryl walked in sleepily "oh morning Betts, how long have you been awake?"Betty put her book down and sat up and smiled at cheryl "a few hours, i couldn't sleep" after a week of nothing really happening, Cheryl poured two glasses of orange juice and handed one to Betty sitting down "you have physical therapy in a few hours" Cheryl said as Betty rolled her eyes and sighed "Toni just got a car so she's gonna come with us"

they got dressed and Toni came and picked them up, at physio Betty was struggling they did lots of exersises and then after a few hours, the doctors told Cheryl and Toni to go get some food whilst they give Betty an X-ray and MRI scan, they grabbed some food and sat down in the food court "i missed this, i missed you" Cheryl said touching Toni's hand "we were only gone for a week but it felt like forever" Toni looked into Cheryl's eyes

"you can tell me what happened, maybe not now, or this week but when you and Betty are ready i will listen we all will, and we won't stop for a second until whoever did this to you two, hurt you both, is rightfully punished and they are hurt as much as you and Betty are" Toni promised, for a second it crossed Cheryl's mind to tell her girlfriend what happened but then her mind wondered into the hurtful thoughts like 'what if she breaks up with me' or 'what if she blames herself'

Cheryl nodded slowly "maybe one day when me and Betty are ready and the story doesn't make us break down in tears or make Betty have an episode, i think she should see someone she's not doing ok i mean the amount of adderall she takes, she can't sleep hardly eats, I'm just worried" Cheryl explained almost crying, "talk to her, Cher explain to her that you're worried try help, i'll support both of you all the way"

Cheryl wiped a tear away " i don't know how we're gonna do it" Toni's phone started to ring and she answered

"hey T its Betty can you guys come back up i have something really cool to show you" Betty said through the phone

"we're on our way" Toni said, they went upstairs and walked into Betty's room there was a curtain drawn "Betty?" they said

"stand there, look at the curtain i want to do a big reveal" Betty said from behind the curtain

"jughead should be here i called him" the Jughead came running through the doors "what is it she said it was important" Cheryl laughed and rolled her eyes "calm down lover boy, she's behind the curtain i have no clue why-"Shut up!" Betty yelled "are you ready 3… 2… 1" the curtain were pulled and Betty was stood with crutches being held up by a nurse, she shaky moved her good leg forward, she stumbled a little but the nurse caught her and pulled her back up betty gripped her crutches and moved her bad leg forward slowly

and stepped on it

"ta-da! i can't do many steps but i can do some with help" Betty said excitedly they praised her and then went home they sat around for a while hanging out. Cheryl and Betty decided that they couldn't be out of school for much longer so Cheryl looked for a private tutor to teach them a few times a week, the tutor arrived and introduced her self, as Miss Abbey she had long brown hair and wore 90's style pinafores she got along with Betty and Cheryl perfectly they did a few hours of studying
