Who's bad
Alice stopped the music. ''Elizabeth Cooper, you will be late for school.'' Alice saw her daughter looking at the window. Betty was sad after the party. It was the worst. Jughead didn't want to talk to her. Archie humiliated her in front of everyone.
''Mom, I don't want to go to school today.''
''Elizabeth... Even if you don't want to go to school today, it will be the same thing tomorrow. You have to face the reality. I don't know what happen yesterday, but I don't like it. That Jones boy is the worst.''
Betty knew her mother will never approve her relationship with Jughead. ''It wasn't Jughead's fault. It was Archie. He said bad things about me in front of everyone. Jughead didn't like it and he doesn't talk to me anymore.''
''What could Archie says to make you feel so bad?'' Betty didn't want to answer to her mother. She was so embarrassed. ''Elizabeth. You were dating Archie and you left him for Jughead. We both know that you will not stay with him forever.''
''I love Jughead more than anything. I'm just asking for you to accept that. Archie and I are done. And this conversation too.'' Betty left for school.
When she arrived, everyone was looking at her. They were laughing. They were pointing at her. She arrived at her locker. Someone wrote ''slut'' on her locker. She tried to not cry in front of everyone. She saw Jughead arriving at school. He ignored her and passed by her. The pain inside her was growing.
''So, I've heard you like doing handjob. But you still a virgin.'' Chuck was the worst. No, Archie was the worst actually, but Chuck was something else. ''Do you make blowjob too? What's your price?'' Betty tried to ignore him. He raised the dress of Betty a little.
''Chuck! Please let me alone.''
''At least you are wearing something under. You didn't want have sex with Archie. Jughead doesn't want you anymore, because you are literally a whore. It's ok, I like that. Maybe I could be the next one.'' Betty began to cry with shame. Jughead arrived and took Betty's hand. ''Jug! I didn't know you still want that slut in your life.''
Jughead turned around and punched Chuck's face. Mrs Scott passed by. ''Jughead!''
He took Betty's hand and ran away with her. When they arrived at his car, Jughead wanted to talk to Betty about last night. ''Do you remember what I said to you last night?''
''That you need a moment. I understand. And if you want to break up with me, it's ok. I mean I can understand that you don't want to date the school's slut.''
Jughead looked at her. She dried her tears from her cheeks. Jughead caressed her cheek. ''No. I was talking about... when I told you... That I love you. I still love you. Betty, I'm in love with you. Crazy! Last night I left the party, I was drunk as... Whatever. When I went home and I imagined myself without you. It's impossible for me to be happy without you. You are my happiness. I want to be with you no matter what, but please, I don't want to go to another party like that. And if there's anything I need to know, you have to tell me. Not Archie. So... you still my girlfriend after that?''
''Yes Juggy! I love you too.'' She kissed him. Their hearts melted. They felt so much happier. Betty felt good with him.
''Move in? Please come live with me.''
Betty was surprised about his request.
At the cafeteria, Veronica joined Kevin at the table. ''I think I did something bad Kev. Where's Betty?''
''She left with Jughead after Chuck treated her like a slut in front of everyone. But what did you do bad?''
Veronica wanted to tell to Betty first, but she wasn't there and she had to tell someone. ''I had sexed last night. I was drunk.''
''Oh no! Not Archie again.''
''No, I'm not obsessed with Archie.''
Sabrina passed by. ''Hey Ronnie, thanks for last night. Hope to do it again.''
Kevin put his surprised face. ''No way! We are in the same team. I mean you are in the LBGT community like me. I mean you are lesbian. Or you are bisexual.''
Veronica smiled at him. ''I don't know. It was better than Archie. I take back what I said. It wasn't bad, it was pretty awesome.''
Betty arrived. ''What was awesome?''
Veronica was very proud of herself. She decided to do her coming out. She stood up on her chair and told to everyone who was in the cafeteria. ''I'm in love with a girl.'' She joined Sabrina at her table and kissed her languorously.
Betty looked at Kevin. ''What did I miss?''
Veronica came back at their table with Sabrina. ''Guys, I want you to meet officially my girlfriend, Sabrina Spellman.''
After school, Betty went right away to her home with Jughead. She wanted to talk to her mother about living with Jughead. When she arrived, her mother was with Betty's aunt and grandmother. ''Elizabeth honey, I'm so glad to see. Your boobs are bigger.''
''Mother. Don't embarrassed her. Elizabeth come and sit with your aunt and grandmother.'' Jughead came in. ''Oh. Jughead, I didn't know you were coming. Well I will introduce you. This is my mother Meredith and my little sister Naomi. And this is Jughead Jones, a friend of Elizabeth.''
''Not exactly. He's my boyfriend.'' Betty corrected her mother. ''Auntie Mimi, how are you doing?''
''I'm fine. But I thought you were dating that Andrews boy.''
Alice wasn't happy to see that Betty is back with Jughead. ''She was, but she dumped him for Jughead.''
Betty announced her new life with Jughead. ''I came here to tell you, I grab my stuff and I'm going to live with Jughead. Anyway you will never accept my relationship with Jughead.''
''Who do you think you are young lady? The hell no you are going to live with him.''
Mrs Smith was tired of this. ''Let her. Elizabeth you can go and live with your boyfriend. I have to talk to your mother.'' Betty and Jughead went upstairs.
Alice was mad at her mother. ''Mother, this is my daughter and not yours. I won't let you do the...''
''Do what? The same mistake? I remembered that same conversation. Young Alice Cooper wanted to live with a boy. And it was also a Jones. Your father died after you left! He died with the idea of his own daughter living an unrealistic life. He died because of you. I want you to feel that same pain that I had.''
''Daddy didn't die because of me. He died because you killed him. You put him into his grave.''
Naomi tried to stop them. ''Stop fighting. Dad died because he had a car accident. I mean I think you both killed him. We all know who was driving.''
''We didn't ask you opinion. This is between your sister and I.''
Betty and Jughead had done packing Betty's stuff. ''So we are going now.'' Polly and Hal came in. ''Hey Pol. Hey dad. I'm going to live with Jughead. Grandma authorised this.''
Polly didn't understand. ''What? You let her live with her boyfriend after she was slut-called at school. They wanted to live together, because they want to have sex. Jason can't sleep here and you will let her go.''
Betty was mad. ''Jeez Pol. Can you shut up sometimes?''
Mrs Smith spoke up. ''Do you need money for condoms?'' Everyone were surprised. ''Don't look at me.''
Alice stood up. ''You were slut-called. What's going on with you? You are supposed to be better than that. Is that what you didn't want to tell me this morning? And mom how dare you let her go?''
Hal joined the conversation. ''I won't let my daughter go. Betty you stay here.''
Mrs Smith wanted to Hal and Alice. ''No! Betty go. Now!'' Jughead and Betty left. ''Polly go upstairs!'' Polly went upstairs. ''Now listen me both of you. You will pay for what you did twenty years ago. He deserved to have a good life and you let him go away from us.''
Mrs Smith was here to revenge the death of her late husband. She had to come clear with some families in town. She had to start with the Lodges. She was in mood of chaos.
