Chapter 3
Jug sat down, listening to what she was going to say. "Okay so I'm sure you've heard of the coopers. We ran the register and were the perfect family, then Polly started Jason blossom and he got her pregnant, he didn't want to deal with that and dumped her, she was so upset Jug, she wouldn't talk to me and then she was so distraught she ended up miscarrying." She said before taking a deep breath. "That finally pushed her over the edge, Losing the last bit of Jason, I came home from school one day, I'd finally made the cheer team and was so excited to tell Polly and when I went to her room I found her jug, she was on her bed, she'd slit her wrists. There was so much blood, so much blood" she said, tears streaming down her face, jug leaned over to grab her hand. "After the funeral I returned to school but everyone thought I was crazy, like Polly, crazy polly who killed herself over a boy! My mom lost her mind, she got drunk and hit me and her and my dad got a divorce, he met someone else and moved to Florida, forgetting I exist and my mom drank herself to death, she was drunk driving, hit a tree and died on impact" she said, by the time she was finished she was sobbing. "Kevin's all I have, my next door neighbour Archie is also my best friend but he's currently in Chicago with him mom". "Betty, I'm so so so sorry! I have no idea you'd been through that an I can't begin to understand how you feel but you're not alone, you have me now, and fangs and Toni and Sweetpea, you can talk to me if you need someone Okay?" He said and kissed her hands. "Betty. I have to ask, who do you live with?". She looked up at him. "Here" she stated. "By yourself?" He asked and she nodded. "The house was already payed off by my parents in the Divorce and I got all Pollys and my moms life insurance So I'm covered until I'm 21 then I get into my life savings" she replied. "God Betty, if you ever need anything, you can call me okay?" He said and she nodded. She took him by surprise and hugged him tightly, he rubbed her back comfortingly. "Jug? Can you tell the others About what I told you, I want to be friends and I want them to know I just hate talking about it" she said. "Of course betts" he smiled and she beamed. "Betts?" She asked, blushing at the new nickname. "I like it" he said. "Okay then juggie" she smirked and he burst out laughing.
By the end of the day Jug and Betty had watched movies and spoke about everything and anything they could think of; both loving the others company. "I should get going" Jug said standing up. "Okay, thank you... for everything" she smiled shyly at him. "Anytime betts" he said as he opened the door. "I'll walk you to school tomorrow?" He asked. "I'll see you then" she smiled and watched him walk down her steps. "Goodnight Betty cooper!" He shouted over his shoulder, making her laugh. "Goodnight juggie!".
