Betty's PoV

Where was I going to go, I don't have an apartment and Id feel bad waking up Cheryl and Veronica. I walked into the empty lobby and sat in the blue corner chair. Maybe if I wait an hour he'll calm down and I can go back in there. 'Are you okay? You seem lost?' The woman said who had got up from the desk and sat next to me, 'Yeh, I'm doing absolutely amazing' I said sarcastically. 'I heard yelling, was that you and mr Jones?' She asked, 'yep, he is annoyed at me for some goddam reason, and I get it, I left him to move to Canada for a while because I was stressed but I didn't know it would hurt him as bad as it had' I replied and she frowned. 'Well, if you'd like I can check on him in thirty minutes and see if he's calmed down?' 'That would be great, thank you' I smiled and she went and sat back in her chair typing into her ancient computer.

I looked over at the small wooden coffee table in front piled with magazines. Pregnancy symptoms. I had almost completely forgot, Veronica was pregnant, and I was going to be an aunt. You could rarely see it, she had hardly developed a bump yet as she was only twelve weeks pregnant. I picked up the magazine and read a couple of pages.

Around twenty five minutes later, I got up and walked to the phone wired in the wall and dialled Kevin's number, I stood there tapping my foot waiting for the sound on the other line to pick up. 'Hello. This is Kevin, who's this?' 'It's Betty, I'm on the hospital phone, and jughead is fine well more okay, he's still pissed at me,' I said leaning against the wall 'did you explain to everyone what happened?' I asked. 'I explained and they were very shocked by the situation but they understand. If you manage to tell Jughead I hope he does better.' Kevin replied. 'okay will do, well I'm going to go check on him. Love you Kev, bye' 'bye Betts, ring me as soon as you get a new phone' He said and I hung up before going to the woman at the desk.

'I'll go check on him now for you' she smiled, I nodded and she got up and walked down the hallway till she turnt and entered the room.

A few seconds later she came back to the desk, 'he's asleep' she said I smiled and headed down to his hospital room. I opened the door and closed it again once I was in the room. I laid down on the couch and rested my head on the arm chair and gently closed my eyes.

The next morning

I was woke up by someone shaking me 'Betty, wake up, Betty,' they said repeatedly. I stretched my arms out and pushed myself up, my back aching from my sleeping position. 'When did you come back, I thought I told you to leave?' Jughead asked as I stood up, 'you did. I didn't have a place to stay and I meant it when I said I wanted to help, I understand if your pissed at me, can I just ask one question' I said, he nodded. 'Why did you all of a sudden become an asshole, you were fine at first and then I went and got pops and when I came back you were pissed off?' I asked and he shrugged 'I guess I'm just trying not to get to attached to you being here, just because you'll probably leave.'

I was going to stay, at least until Veronica's baby was one, I didn't want to miss anything even if it was remotely small. 'Jug, I think I'm going to stay, Veronica's pregnant and I just want to be there for her and the baby and I don't want to miss out.' I smile and he grins back before pulling me into a tight hug, 'if you do ever leave again, please just tell me a week before,' he said and I nodded. 'So you ready to see the new and improved Jughead Jones apartment.' he asked and I laughed, 'I mean as long as there's a change of clothing.' He chuckled and we left the room and signed him out.

We approached my bike and I climbed on, 'there's no way I'm getting on the back, I'll drive it you can go behind me' he said, 'jug you have a broken arm you can't ride, or you can walk' I laugh. 'Fine' he groaned and got on the back, 'hold tight, Juliet' I joked. 'Haha very funny' he said sarcastically and placed his arms gently round my waist.

He told me the directions towards his apartment and we pulled up outside a newly built building. He got off before me and I followed behind, 'so, are you crashing at mine or one of the others' he asked opening the building door and leading me down a hallway and up the stairs. 'I don't really know at the moment' I shrugged, we reached the top of the stair case and he jolted his key in the door and clicked it open. We walked in and I have to admit the apartment looked amazing, 'dude, this place is just wow' I said and walked to the kitchen. It was all modest and the living room and kitchen was open planner. 'I've been scaled down to dude, harsh.' he chucked, 'Sorry Juggie' I smiled. 'Haven't heard that in a long time but it's better then dude' he said and showed me around the house.

'So I think your clothes are in here' he said and tugged open one of his draws, I nelt down next to him, 'are we staying in, or going out' I asked choosing wether to wear jeans or sweatpants. 'Well I was going to say we should go to the bar, everyone did really miss you, and also I should probably tell them I'm still alive' he said and I nodded. I grabbed my black whipped jeans, my white cropped Levi's top and my black jacket.

He left the room and I got changed and put my hair up into a tight ponytail, I slid on my airforces and walked out. 'Jug, I will have to go back to Canada to-' I began but he cut me off, 'no, you just said you weren't leaving. God Betty your driving me crazy' he yelled looking away. I placed my hand on his face and pulled it to look at me, 'you didn't let me finish. I was going to say to pack up all my stuff, since I left my serpent jacket and I've got barely anything here' I said and he exhaled, 'I'm sorry' he chuckled and I smiled.

We got back on my motorbike the same way as before and I drove to the bar.
