When jughead and FP got back to their trailer that night, jugheads mind was a mess. Should he listen to the school and try and convince Betty to talk to someone? Or should he leave it and let her be. "Are you going to talk to betty?" FP asked and jughead sighed. "I don't know... I don't want her to think I'm meddling" he said. "Do you agree with your teacher? Do you feel like Betty should talk to someone?" FP asked. "Honestly... it's her choice but she can be so closed off and I do think counselling would help her" jughead sighed, sitting on the couch and rubbing his hands through his hair. "Why don't you get some sleep and you can think about what to do?" FP suggested and jughead nodded. "Goodnight dad" he said and went into his room.

The next morning, jughead woke up, had a shower and pulled out his phone to text Betty:

Jug: good morning beautiful! Are you working a shift this morning <3

His phone buzzed a few moments later:

Betty: morning juggie! Yeah I'm working now, I finish in an hour <3

Jughead smiled and grabbed his keys to his bike and left the trailer. He made his way to pops and when he walked in, Betty's face lit up at the sight of him. "Juggie!" She beamed. "Hey you" he smiled and leant over the counter to peck her lips. "Shall I get your breakfast?" She asked and he shook his head. "I'll wait for you, I want breakfast with my girl" he smiled. "Okay! Why don't you go and sit in a booth and I'll keep you in coffee until my shifts over" she said and he nodded, walking over to the booth. As promised, Betty brought him coffee and kept it topped up and then when she was done, she slid in next to him, kissing his cheek. "I told pop to bring us pancakes" she told him. "Thank you" he smiled. "Do you have anything planned today?" He asked and she shook her head. "Nope, I'm all yours" she grinned. "Shall we have a movie day?" He asked and she nodded. "That sounds great" she said. A few minutes later, pop brought out their breakfast and they ate in a comfortable silence.

When they were done, Betty stood up. "Let me just grab my Back from the back and we can leave" she smiled and skipped off. Jughead waited for her to come back, he spotted her blonde ponytail coming back towards the table and he smiled but the smile dropped off his face when he saw chuck Clayton, grab her wrist from a booth he was sat in. Jughead stood up immediately, a scowl on his face as he made his way over to his girlfriend. He had to fight to control his anger when he heard chuck say "since when did you work here? Surely it's not good advertising to have a fat loser working here" chuck snarled. "Hey! Ass hole! Take your dirty hand off my girl" jughead spat, stepping in front of Betty. "Shut up snake!" Chuck snapped. "I would watch out if I were you" jughead said, leaning forward. "You better remember who you're talking to..." he growled and watched as fear flicked in chucks eyes. "Whatever" Chuck said. "Leave Betty alone!" Jug said before wrapping his arm around Betty's waist and leading her out the diner. "Are you Okay?" He asked as Betty rubbed her wrist. "I'm okay" she sighed. "Can we just go home?" She asked and he nodded and walked them over to his bike.

When they got back to Betty's, they sat on the couch and started a movie like they said they would do. Jughead could tell that Betty's interaction with chuck had put her in a bad mood. He was reminded of the conversation he had with their teacher the day before and he sighed before pausing the movie, causing Betty to frown and look up at him. "Betts? Can I talk to you about something?" He said gently and she nodded. He moved them so she was sat, facing him on his lap, her legs around his waist. "So, yesterday one of the teachers asked me to talk to you about... counselling" he started, not wanting to scare her. He watched as her face dropped. "Now it's 100% your choice and you don't have to... but I think it's a good idea; you've been through so much baby and I feel like maybe talking to a professional might help you" he said. "I don't need to" she whispered. "And maybe you don't... but maybe you should try? If you don't like it you don't have to do it again?" He suggested and she sighed. "But... I don't want to seem weak" she said and jughead watched as tears pooled in her eyes. "Hey, you are not weak! You are the strongest Person I know" he says and cups her cheeks. "I just think you should try it baby" he said and she sighed, and after a moment she nodded. "Okay". "Really?" He smiled and she nodded. "Yeah, I'll talk to the guidance counsellor on Monday" she said. "I'm so proud of you!" He grinned and pulled her into his chest and kissed her head. "You are?" She asked, quietly. No one had ever told her they were proud of her. "Of course I am" he said, pulling back so he could look at her. "Because... I love you betty" he said softly and Betty's eyes Widened. "You love me?" She smiled and he nodded. "I love you too!" She smiled and kissed him hard. "I love you so much" he sighed against her lips.
