Jughead P.O.V
I was playing xbox with Fangs when I got a call from Hog Eye. Usually he always calls me when his shift is over to tell me how Betty is, although it's never good news because she always comes home drunk and locks herself in her room. Most of the time she is so drunk that she falls asleep in the bathroom after vomiting so when that happens I clean her up and take her to bed. We may be angry and not talk but I still worry about her.
As I supposed Hog Eye wasn't calling with good news. He told me that Betty had been there for less than an hour and had already had 15 shots, which was not normal. Normally drink 2 or 3 shots and 3 drinks. And that Trev wasn't taking care of her like usually and Hog had a bad feeling, so he asked me if I could stop by the bar to take Betty home.
''Fangs stay here, I'll be back in a moment, I have something important to take care of at the Wyrm and I will probably need your help when I get back'' I said worried and putting my shoes on. ''Betty?'' Fangs said sadly. Obviously he has also been very concerned this past month, we all are. I just nodded and left.
''Where is she?'' I said to Hog almost out of breath leaning on the bar and he pointed me to my father's office. I entered without bothering to call and I saw Betty lying on the sofa. ''What happened?'' I asked to my dad kneeling in front of Betty.
''Listen to me boy, I know you don't want to talk about it, but Betty has been like this for a month now and it's getting worse and worse. And it makes me sick to see her this way every Saturday'' my father paused before continuing to speak. ''I don't know what happens between that guy Trev and her but I can assure you it's not a good thing. Look at what Hog found next to her when she entered the bar after calling you'' He finished saying and threw a plastic bag containing cocaine on the table.
''That son of a bitch'' I muttered, punching the table. ''I'm going to fucking kill him'' I exclamed angry. ''Boy!'' My father yelled before I went back to the bar to kick Trev's ass. ''First we'll take her home and make sure she is fine, this cannot continue. You know how dangerous it can be if she keep this up, look what happened to your mother'' my dad said serious and I nodded.
My father opened the back door for me so I wouldn't have to go past the whole bar with her in that state so Trev wouldn't see me leave with her. I took her bridal style to the apartment and laid her on her bed, when Fangs saw me enter with her unconscious the questions started to rain down on me. ''Look Fangs, I don't have time for this, you stay with Betty. Try she don't roll her on her back, always keep her on sideway. I promise that when I come back I will explain everything, call the others to come'' and I went out of the apartment.
I got to the bar and just saw red, I grabbed Trev by the arm and put him in my father's office. ''Dad, out. NOW'' I yelled angry. My father went out, after all, my father was almost as angry as I was with Trev, so he didn't care what I did to him, this is how gangs work.
''What the hell do you want Jones. Where's Betty?'' Trev said mad. ''Don't you dare mention her ever again in your life'' I yelled getting closer to his face. ''Oh yeah? Or what?'' Trev said trying to intimidate me.
I grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and pushed him against the wall, putting my forearm against his throat. With the other hand I took my razor out of my pocket and brought it to his face. ''Because if you don't do what I tell you, I swear to God I'm going to kill you. I don't want to see you near her again, I don't want you to mention her again or even look at her again. Listen carefully, come back to her and it will be the last thing you do. Is it clear to you?'' I said full of anger. Trev was trembling and only dared to nod. ''Now out!'' I yelled and he ran away of the office.
When I returned to the apartment they were all in the living room except Fangs but without saying a word I went directly to Betty's room, I didn't care about anything else right now. ''Can you go out for a moment?'' I asked to Fangs and he left the room.
''Why would you do that Betts?'' I said brushing her hair from her face as my eyes filled with tears. I knew she couldn't hear me because she was passed out but I didn't care and keep talking to her. ''I'm so sorry Betts, I never should have let you get away from me, from your friends. It's all my fault I'm so sorry Betty, I lov-'' I was saying when Toni entered in the room.
I pulled away the tears and asked she what was going on. ''I just wanna see her'' Toni said crying and kneeling next to me and I hugged her. I kissed her in the head. ''What happened to her?'' Toni said sobbing and I explained all, including the plastic bag with cocain who did that Toni cried even more.
''It's all my faul, I- I shouldn't have left her alone, I shouldn't have listened to Veronica'' Toni said. ''What? Veronica? What does she have to do with Betty?'' I asked separating a little from Toni to look at her. ''She was the one who told Cheryl and me to give up trying to help someone who didn't appreciate the effort we made'' Toni cried.
The blood began to boil through my veins and I stormed out of the room to the living room. ''Why would you do something like that ?! I thought she was your friend, but I see that you only care about yourself. Betty could have died you know? And all because you and the rest of us have let her go without knowing what she was going through!'' I yelled to Veronica furious with tears down my cheek. I never show my feelings in public but this time I didn't care, the only thing I cared about was Betty.
''Omg relax Jones! It's not my fault that she was a selfish bitch and left us all aside for Trev, she's the only who asked for it'' Veronica said looking at her manicure like she didn't give a shit. ''How dare you Veronica? Get out of here right the fucking now, I don't wanna see you again!'' I yelled pointing to the door. ''Glady!'' She said standing up and get out of the house.
''What the hell was that. What is wrong with her?!'' Cheryl said indignant. ''What I would like to know is what you meant by the fact that Betty could have died'' Sweets said crossing his arms on his chest. I put the bag of cocaine on the table and the words weren't necessary.
''Why would Betts do something like that?'' ''Omg poor B'' ''What the hell'' Sweets, Cheryl and Fangs said at the same time. ''I don't know why she would did something like that but I'm sure Trev has something to do with this'' I said angry. ''She's been acting weird all the fucking month and we didn't give a shit about her!'' I cried out.
''And what are we going to do?'' Cheryl asked crying too. At this point even Sweets was crying for her. ''We can't let that motherfucker get close to her or her to him'' I started saying ''but for the moment we are going to stay the night doing turns to watch her and in the morning we are going to talk with her''. All agreed to that so we started with the turns. First I was going to watch her, then Cheryl, Toni, Fangs and last Sweets.
In the morning Betty woke up around 11am disoriented and asking about Trev. Then she started to vomit so Sweets took her to the bathroom. I could barely sleep at night not to say I didn't sleep at all. I kept thinking about Betty and what she had to go through this month to end up like this. Judging by the faces of the others they couldn't sleep either.
Sweets took Betty into the living room and on her face you could see the terror of seeing us all there. ''How are you feeling Betts?'' Toni asked. ''What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here if Trev finds out I'm talkin with you...'' Betty said with fear in her voice.
''What did that asshole do to you so you are like this Betty?'' Sweets said angry. ''Like what? I'm perfectly fine!'' Betty yelled getting angry with us. ''Sure Betty, because having to change practically every week of wardrobe because your clothes are too big is to be perfectly fine-'' I started to say angry moving my arms in the air. I wasn't angry with her, I was angry with the rest of the world.
''-Oh! And don't forget about the fact you drink in fucking school nights and you went to class high with weed! Do you think really that's be perfectly fine? And now the fucking fact that you're using cocain! You can die for putting that fucking shit in your body Betty!!'' I keep yelling still gesturing with my arms.
''And what the hell do you care huh, Jughead?! You can't control what I do or don't do with MY life'' Betty yelled back angry too.
''I don't now, maybe I care about the fact that I fucking love you more than I might think I fucking could love someone. I love you so bad that I thought I was going to die this last month seeing you with that asshole every day who didn't even care about you. Seeing you every fucking day broken crying in your room and throwing up all the holy nights of how drunk you came home! But obviously you didn't remember the next day that I was the one who spent every night helping you in the bathroom and taking you to bed. But noooo, I don't care at all Betty, I'm just fucking in love with you. And you clearly don't realize because you're so fucking blind by that asshole!'' I shouted frustrated without thinking about what I was saying and I was paralyzed when I realized that I had just told Betty how I felt in front of everyone and had been keeping quiet for over a month.
