Jugheads POV
I can feel eyes on me as I walk up the stage to get my last task of becoming a serpent leader. "Alright, my boy here has been completing many tasks, to become a leader." They all cheer. "And it's time for his last task! He must kill Archie Andrews!" I stare at him in awe. I look around the bar, and lay my eyes on Betty and Toby. I give a slight smile to the serpents and walk off stage.
I walk out of the bar and hear light footsteps come towards me, but I dont turn around. "Jughead, you need to come back in! This is your dream, and you want it to come crashing down, after you worked so hard?" Betty exclaims.
"No, I dont but I cant kill someone! This is a new low, even for the serpents. Were not supposed to kill anyone! But apparently to become a frickin leader you do! I cant do this anymore!" I practically yell at her. She seems a little baffled and takes a step back. "I'm sorry, it's just sometimes he really aggravates me!" I say trying to calm her and myself down.
"Jughead! They're all calling you a wimp in there! What are you gonna do? They think your not suited to becoming a leader!" Toby says making gus way through the door and over to us.
"Guys, if I go back in there, then..." I was cut off by my dad busting the door open. He pushes me against the bars brick wall and grabs me by my shirt.
Betty's POV
I stare at Jughead wincing, knowing he's in pain. "Dont you ever do that again! Now all the serpents think your a wimp! You're not worthy of becoming a serpent leader!" His dad yelled at him.
"Let him go! He doesnt deserve that he worked so hard!" I yell back. He walks over to me and I look him dead in the eyes, before someone takes his shoulders and grabs him back.
"Get off of Betty! If you leave her alone, I won't become a serpent leader, and I'll save your reputation as leader!" Jughead tells at him. But I dont think that's such a good idea since he worked his butt off to become a leader.
"Fine I'll leave blondie alone, but you have to completely leave the serpents if you want me to leave her alone!" He exclaims.
"Fine." He says and I wish he hadn't, I love him and now it's going to be extra harder to tell him.
