Chapter 14
The next morning, Betty found herself wrapped around jugheads body as he slept. All the memories from the day before came flooding back, and the pain that was throbbing in her hair. She got up and decided to go down stairs and make breakfast for everyone. As Betty lived in a four bedroom house, fangs, Sweetpea and Toni were all asleep in a separate room. Since her sister and mum died and her dad left, Betty put their stuff in the attic and re decorated the rooms, as she didn't want the constant reminder of the family she lost. She decided to make pancakes for everyone, so got about making it.
"Wow, thanks betty" Toni smiled when everyone sat down at the table to eat. "You're welcome" Betty said. "How's your head today babe?" Jughead asked. "It's sore but it's okay" Betty said. "That's good, have you taken your pain medication this morning?" He asked and she nodded. "Yeah, I took it as I was cooking" she told him. "So what does everyone have planned today?" Betty asked, making conversation. "I have a shift at the wyrm" Toni said. "Me, fangs and jug are fixing up our bikes today" Sweetpea said and Betty nodded. "What about you betts?" Fangs asked. "Erm, I'll probably just read or something" Betty said, taking a bite of her pancakes. "Do you want me to stay here with you today?" Jug asked, placing his hand over hers. "No juggie, you have stuff to do, don't worry" she smiled and pecked his cheek. After breakfast, the others left to start their day. "Call me if you need me Okay? And if your head feels worse call me" jughead said to her as he was leaving. "I will I promise" she said, wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him softly. "Bye betts" h smiled against her lips and followed the others.
By the time lunchtime rolled around, Betty was bored. Jughead had been texting her throughout the day but she missed him so she decided to visit him and fangs at the mechanics. She hopped in her car and drove to the southside. When she got there she spotted jughead, fangs and Sweetpea instantly. "Betts!" Jughead grinned when he saw her. "Hey" she smiled. "What are you doing here?" He smiled and pulled her in for a hug. "I was bored" she shrugged then said hello to fangs and Sweetpea. "Who's this Jug?" Betty heard a man say from behind her and she spun around to see an older man, who looked like jughead. His dad. "Dad! This is betty cooper, my girlfriend" jughead smiled. "Nice to meet you mr Jones" Betty smiled and shook his hand. "You too betty, jugheads told me a lot about you" FP smiled and Betty blushed. "That's a nasty cut.." FP frowned at her stitches. "It's okay..." Betty said quietly. She noticed how the boys had all stiffened. "What happened?" FP questioned. "Someone was picking on her" jughead said. "Well if anyone gives your trouble, you just send them my way, the Serpents will sort them out" FP said and Betty smiled. "Thank you mr Jones" she said. "Please Betty, call me FP" he said, gently. "So... what are you working on?" Betty asked Sweetpea and fangs who were huddled over a bike. "Trying to Fix the engine" Sweetpea huffed. "Can I have a look?" Betty asked and all the boys looked at her in shock. "You know engines?!" Fangs asked. "Yeah, I used to fix cars with my dad until... you know..." she trailed off. "Here come and have a look" Sweetpea said and Betty moved over to the bike.
After about half an hour of Betty tinkering, she pulled back from the motorcycle. "Oh my god you've done it!" Fangs grinned when the engine roared to life. "I told You" Betty said with a smug smile. "Holy shit! Could you be any hotter" jughead smirked and wrapped his arms around her from behind; kissing her temple. "Well you can fix my bike anytime Betty" FP laughed, impressed by his sons girlfriend. "Betts, were done here, do you want to come back to ours? We'll order pizza?" Jug asked her. "That sounds nice" Betty smiled. A while later Betty was sat on the couch in the Jones trailer, her head was on jugheads chest and she was having trouble keeping her eyes open. They'd eaten pizza and laughed with FP and now she was exhausted and she closed her eyes and fell asleep. "Can she stay over dad?" Jughead asked FP when he saw Betty was sleeping. "Yeah that's fine but won't her parents mind?" FP asked and jughead sighed. "Let me put her in my bed then I'll tell you about Betty's parents..." jug said and picked Betty up.
"My god... that poor girl" FP said, running a hand over his face. Jughead had just told him all about Betty's life; he sisters suicide; her mums death and her father who left. "So she lives all alone?" FP asked. "Yeah" jughead nodded. "She has her best friend Kevin but he's homeschooled and dad... school is a nightmare" Jughead sighed. "What do you mean?" FP asked. "She's bullied. Like a lot. That's how we met, it wasn't right I had to see if she was okay" Jug started. "And that's where that cut came from. Yesterday come people cornered her and one of the guys hit her and he had rings on... when Toni called me saying they were at the hospital, I'd never been so scared" jughead added. "She doesn't deserve that, she's such a lovely girl" FP said, his heart breaking for the girl. "I know dad. I know" Jug sighed.
