Chapter 10
Betty was in the gym everyday since jughead had given her the gym pass. She liked how the gym cleared her mind just like the aderall used to clear her mind. Kevin had been watching her in the gym on some days as he also had a gym pass. He wasn't going to lie, he was concerned about how hard she was pushing herself. Betty had gotten into a routine of breakfast, a session with jughead, a workout, writing, missing lunch, workout, dinner and bed. She was so set on having that routine that she was skipping her lunch meal and Kevin was concerned for her so he decided to take action.
Betty was working out for hours at a time, all she wanted was something else to focus on. She loved the thrill of having something else to focus on, something to take her mind of things. Jughead had asked her about how she was finding the guy and she told him how she loved it, but she didn't tell him about how much time she spent there; she didn't want anyone to take away the only thing she'd found in rehab that she was enjoying.
Jughead was working in his office when there was a knock on the door. "Come in" he said and he was surprised when it was Kevin who stepped in. "Kevin? Is everything okay?" Jughead asked. "Erm can we talk?" Kevin asked and jughead could see that he was nervous. "Of course! Here come and sit down" Jughead said, giving Kevin his full attention. "What's up?" Jughead asked. "It's not about me... it's Betty" Kevin said and jughead sat up straight. "Betty?" He frowned. "I'm scared for her" Kevin said. "She's pushing herself too hard in the gym and skipping meals and when she does eat it's not a lot and she's so obsessed with her workout routine..." Kevin rambled. "I'm scared she's trading her drug addiction for an eating disorder or something!" Kevin exclaimed and jughead was really worried. "Okay, can you tell me everything that's been happening?" Jughead asked, grabbing Betty's file so he could write it all down as Kevin spoke. He was confused. Why didn't betty mention anything in their sessions, he thought she was doing really well; he was annoyed at himself for not noticing. "Where is she now?" Jughead asked, after Kevin had filled him in on everything. "The gym" Kevin said and jugheads eyes widened. "Let's go" jug said and they rushed to the gym. On the way there they spotted Reggie, Kevin's therapist, they filmed him in on what was happening and he followed them to the gym.
When they got there, Betty was the only one there and she didn't look good. She was pale and weak and she bending over, her hands on her knees as he tried to catch her breath. "Betty?" Jughead asks, concerned and her head snapped up when she heard his voice. "W..what... are...y..you... guys... d..doing here?" She mumbled as she stumbled over her feet, causing the other three to rush over to her. "I..I'm.. f..f..fine" she whispered before she collapsed onto the ground. "BETTY!" They all yelled and rushed over to her. Jughead and Reggie knelt Down next to her as Kevin rushed off to get the nurses. "Betty? Can you hear me?" Jughead asked, trying the stay calm. "Jug... look" Reggie said and lifted his hand from where he was supported Betty's head and on Reggies Hand was Betty's blood...
