Jughead had been pacing around the clinic floor. They had taken Betty to the small hospital/ infirmary they have attached to the centre. "Kevin, Maybe I should take you back to your room" Reggie suggested. "No, I need to see if she's okay" Kevin sniffed, wiping the tears from his eyes. "Okay, Okay, let's sit down" Reggie said and the three of them sat down. Jughead was tapping his foot against the floor; his heart was beating, how could she be laying in a hospital bed? She was completely fine that morning. He let his mind wander until he was broken out of his thoughts by the doctor. "Are you Elizabeth's counsellor?" He asked and jughead stood up and nodded. "Yeah. Is she okay?" He asked. "She's dehydrated and hasn't been eating enough so her body's weak. She was pushing herself to hard, and she's already weak because of her addiction so it made it worse, that's why she collapsed" the doctor informed. "She'll be kept here for a few days to get fluids in her and then she can be discharged but we'll have to alter her treatment plan" he added. "However, she still might faint and her dizzy for a few weeks as her body needs to build itself back up" he said and jughead nodded. "Okay" he said. "can talk about her treatment plan so we can decide what to give her and how to treat this?" The doctor asked and jughead nodded. "Yeah of course" he said. "Kevin, why don't you let Reggie take you back, or maybe have a session with Reggie, this has been scary you need to talk about it" jughead said. "Yeah, come on Kev, I'll bring you back to visit Betty when she's awake" Reggie said and lead Kevin out the room.

Betty's eyes fluttered open and she was met by bright white light and the sound of beeping. "Hey, you're okay" she heard a woman say and moved her head to see a nurse smiling at her. "What?.. where am I?" She asked, bringing her hand up to the bandage on her head and wincing. "Yeah that will hurt for a while" the nurse smiled. "You fainted and hit your head. You have concussion and cut your head and have a few stitches" the nurse informed her. "W..where's jughead?" Betty croaked. "Outside, I'll go and get him" the nurse said and left the room. A few moments later the door opened up and jughead rushed in. "Oh my god Betty! I was so worried!" He exclaimed and sat down in the chair next to her bed. "What happened Betty? Why didn't you pace yourself? Why didn't you come to me?" He asked her and to his shock she burst into tears. "Oh no... hey I'm sorry, hey it's okay" he comforted, holding her hand and rubbing his thumb across her palm. "I..I'm...s..sorry" she Mumbled. "Hey it's okay, don't worry about it right now" he said. "Let's just focus on getting you better then we can talk about it okay?" He said and she nodded. "How do you feel?" He asked. "And be Honest" he added as an after thought. "It hurts" she hissed in pain. "Okay let me go and get the nurse" he said, standing up but she used all her energy to reach out and grab his hand. "No! Please... just stay with me" she said, looking him in the eyes. "Okay...Okay." He said, sitting back down. "God betts... I was so scared" he sighed, cupping her cheek and tucking her hair behind her ear. "Why?" She whispered. "Because...I really like you" he said, honestly. "You do?" She looked at him, with hope filled eyes. "Yeah betts, I do" he nodded. "I like you too" she smiled.
