The next day, Betty had just arrived in jugheads office ready for her session. She had calmed down, from the day before and ginger had been reported to the board and the centre were deciding wether to transfer her. "Hi baby" jug smiled when he opened the door for her; Betty grinned at the pet name he kept calling her. "Hi" she said and pecked his lips as she walked past him and sat in the chair opposite his desk. "Do you want my journal?" She asked him when he sat down. "I'll have it at the end" he said softly. "So, Betts, how have you been feeling this week?" Jughead asked, pulling out Betty's file, ready to write notes. "It's been... stressful" Betty admitted. "I don't know, I thought I was doing okay but I just snapped at ginger and, my mind felt fuzzy..." she said. "What do you mean? Your mind went fuzzy?" Jughead asked. "My breathing was fast and my vision blurry, I just didn't feel like me, and I don't normally snap like that" she sighed. "Is that normal?" She asked. "It's a side effect or your withdrawal" jughead explained. "You are still in your withdrawal stage, and emotions are high, so you feel things more than you normally would" he added. "What?" Betty asked, confused. "Like You Said, you don't normally snap like that... your emotions are just heightened right now, it will pass over time" he said, reassuring her. "Okay" she sighed. "I do have some news that will cheer you up though" he smiled and Betty perked up. "What?" She asked, curiously. "You've earned your first privileges" he said and she squealed, standing up and jumping up and down. "Yes really" he laughed. "Yes!" She giggled and rushed over to him, sitting on his lap and hugging him tightly. "You're adorable" he smiled and she blushed. "So what do I get?" She asked. "You can go on the group trips, you are allowed a phone call home every two weeks and you can go to the gym on your own now" he smiled and she hugged him again. "This is amazing!" She grinned.

"And I'm allowed a phone call every two weeks" Betty rambled as her and Kevin walked over to where Reggie and jughead were eating lunch. "And I can go on group trips" she smiled. "And I don't have to take someone to the gym anymore" she finished as they sat down. "B, I love you, and I'm happy for you but you've told me a hundred times now" Kevin sighed. "I know I'm just~" she said but was interrupted by Kevin. "Excited I know, jughead please mute your girlfriend" Kevin teased, causing the boys to laugh. "Fine I'll talk about something else" Betty said, playfully sticking her tongue out at Kevin. "Like what?" Jughead smirked. "Like how disgusting the food you guys are eating is" she teased. "We like sushi" Reggie laughed. "It's gross" Betty said. After they finished lunch, Betty excused herself from the table so she could go and write in her journal. After a while there was a knock on her door and jughead walked in. "Hey" she smiled. "Hi babe" he grinned. "I have a present for you" he smiled. "What is it?" She asked, excitedly. "I know it's not really allowed but I'm giving it to you anyway... consider it a well done gift for gaining privileges" he added. He brought his hands out from behind his back and handed Betty a box of her favourite chocolates. "Juggie!" Betty squealed and jumped into his arms. "Thank you!" She said, Kissing him. "You're welcome" he smiled. "Now I wish I could stay longer but I have a meeting so I'll come and find you after" he said and kissed her again before leaving her room.

Once jughead had left, Betty decided to try the gym again now that she was on her own. She got Changed and grabbed a bottle of water from the food hall before heading to the gym. First off she did some basic stretching and then a warm up on the treadmill before trying some cardio. Once she felt her body becoming tired; she stopped, not wanting to push herself like before. Sighing, Betty grabbed her water and left the gym. She knew that jughead was in his meeting so she decided to go and wait in his office for him to come back. She sat in his desk chair and added some stuff to her journal. No later than ten minutes, jughead walked through the door. "I was just looking for you" he said softly. "I was waiting for you" she smiled. "Did you have a good meeting?" She asked as he walked over to her, picking her up and sitting down and then placing her on his lap. "It was boring" he laughed. "What have you been up to?" He questioned. "I went to the gym, but got tired so I stopped" she explained. "Im proud of you" he smiled. "You are?" She said, a little surprised. "I'm always proud of you baby" he told her.
