Jughead: Betts
Betty: leave Jughead, you don't care about me
Alice*comes in with the doctor* Oh baby I'm so happy your okay *hugs Betty*

Doctor: Ms.Cooper, you sure have everyone a scare
Betty: god I feel like shit
Doctor: as expected
Betty*looks at Alice* Mom I'm sorry
Alice*strokes her hair* shhh shhh, it's all okay
Doctor: Ms.Cooper can I talk to you about what happened? If you need your mom to leave-
Betty: no it's okay, so I umm *clears her throat* everything that my dad has done to me. It's had a really bad effect, emotionally and mentally
Doctor: okay, what exactly has happened?
Betty: My dad, he- abuses me
Doctor: in which way, physically, emotionally, or-
Betty: Physically for the most part
Doctor: What about your mom?
Betty: umm uh *looks at Alice*
Doctor: Ms.Cooper, please answer?
Betty: I'm actually pretty tired, could we do this later?
Doctor: sure, get some rest *leave the room*
Betty*goes to sleep*

**a few hours later
Betty*wakes up again*
Alice: Elizabeth, I'm so sorry. You matter to me so much and I didn't mean to hurt you or let anyone else hurt you
Betty: Mom I love you*grabs her hand* you never did anything
Alice: i did, I did. I pushed you to be perfect when I couldn't have control of anything else. I stood by and watched while you got abused, so many times
Betty*grimaces in pain*
Jughead*knocks on the door*
Alice: Jughead, let me give y'all some time*leaves*
Jughead: hi betts
Betty*ignores him*
Jughead: Betts, please I wanna talk
Betty: then talk
Jughead: okay, so I'm really sorry like deathly sorry *stops* bad choice of words umm
Betty: Jughead stop beating around the bush *looks right at him* Tell me what you need to
Jughead: Betty I love you
Betty: I know
Jughead: no you don't cause I don't just love you. This is isn't a new feeling that I just now have
Betty: what are you talking about Jug?
Jughead: Betty I've loved you for so long. Longer than you could ever know. It's stupid anyway
Betty: Jug please just tell me, I wanna know
Jughead: fine I've loved you since I first met you
Betty*giggles* how is that possible?
Jughead: Betty Cooper, I've loved since the first time I saw you in the hallways of Riverdale middle school, or when Polly surprised on
*at the same time
Betty: my 13th birthday *smiles*
Jughead: I knew I loved you even more when Archie asked you out for the first time. Man was I furious, I was even more furious when y'all broke up. Because you've always been my girl. My Betty Cooper
Betty*laughs and cries happy tears*
Jughead: I saw you, but more importantly I saw past you. I saw all the bad and you were still my light. I would look to you and see someone I wanted to be with. Your energy gave me life, so I've always loved you and I'm so sorry for what I did. I just wanted to protect you
Betty: I know
Jughead*sits on the edge of her bed and sighs* I didn't do that good of a job
Betty: I think you did pretty great *reaches for his hand*
Jughead*grabs her hand and kisses it* Betty Cooper, you drive me crazy
Betty*smiles*
