As the SATs continued, Betty just felt herself getting more and more stressed. The only times she felt calm and slightly relaxed, were when she was with jughead. He tried his best to keep her happy and laughing, but even he could see the pressure and strain she was under.

Jughead woke up in his trailer, it was a Tuesday and he had school. He got up, and made his way into the kitchen to make coffee, and found his dad already sat at the table. "Morning son" FP greeted. "Morning" jug said, in his gruff morning voice. Jug poured himself a cup and joined his dad at the table. "How's the exams going?" FP asked and jughead sighed. "It's not mine that I'm worried about" he said. "What do you mean?" FP asked, confused. "It's Betty..." jug said. "Is she okay?" FP asked, now concerned for the blonde, he'd grown to love. "I don't know dad, she's taking it really hard" jug started. "Her mother gave her college fund, before everything in Betty's life happened... and now she's so stressed because she needs a scholarship so she can get into college, that she's working herself up" jughead added. "How do you mean ?" FP questioned. "I... shes not coping. It's not normal exam stress, it seems to be something more" he sighed. "Well, Maybe you should talk to her, convince her to book an appointment with her therapist" FP suggested. "I don't think she will" jughead said. "Well son, there's only one way to find out" FP said, sipping his coffee.

Jughead had a text of Betty saying she was already at school, so he didn't need to pick her up. So when he made his way to school, he went straight into the blue and gold, where he saw his girlfriend and friends. "Hey" he smiled. "Hi jug" fangs said. "Hey baby" he said, dropping a kiss to Betty's head, where she was sat studying. "Hi" she mumbled. "She's been like that since we got here" Sweetpea said, whispering, when jughead stood with his friends. "I need to talk to her" jughead sighed. "Are you going to do it now?" Toni asked and jughead nodded. "We'll give you some space then" she smiled and Toni and the boys left. "Betts? Can we talk please?" Jug said softly, sitting on the couch. "Yeah" Betty said but was still looking at what she was doing. "Betts?" He repeated and she turned around to look at him. "Come here" he said and patted the spot next to him. Betty got up and sat next to him and jughead Turned so they were facing each other. "Baby, I love you so much, and because I love you, I think you should book a session with your therapist" he said, making sure he spoke gently, so she didn't feel pressured. "Why?" Betty asked confused, but she wasn't mad, so jughead was relieved. "You're stressing yourself out too much betts, I think you might feel better if you talk it out" he suggested. "If you don't want to, you don't have to but I think you might find it helpful" he added. Betty was quiet for a moment as she stared him, then she sighed and dropped her head to his shoulder. "Okay..." she gave in. "I'll ring after school" she agreed.

Jughead didn't see Betty until lunchtime, but he was feeling a lot better knowing that Betty was willing to see her therapist and she might not be as stressed anymore. As soon as his class finished, he made his way to the blue and gold to meet everyone for lunch. when he got in there, he saw fangs and Sweetpea. "Hey guys" he greeted. "Hey man" sweetpea said. "Hey" fangs smiled. "Where's the girls?" Jughead asked. "Still in class" Sweetpea said, but just as he said it, the girls walked in. "Hey" jug greeted but was cut shut at Betty's glare. "What's up?" He asked, concerned. "Our yea he just unloaded a whole load of work on us, as well as SAT prep" Toni explained, looking worriedly at Betty. "Hey betts, it's okay, don't worry, I can help you with your work" jug said, not wanting anything to make her feel worse. "No! It's not okay!" Betty snapped, pacing back and forth. "I... how can I do all of this and everything else that I'm supposed to do! I have to pay bills and cook, and clean and.. and now..." she started but her vision became blurry and her speech slurred. She could faintly hear the others shout her name, but she couldn't focus, she just felt herself sway, and then all she saw was black...
