My story
~Betty's POV~ 
I already know that he was going to talk about that . I was already  prepared for it. I knew he saw me smoking. But I don't know to that I should trust him or not . Because why all of the sudden he cares about me . But he seemed like very nervous to talk to me . I think he is afraid that talking of that will trigger me or something. I already had been through worse. Now I'm used to it. 
After some moments he said J-" h..hey it's ok if you don't want to talk about it, I..I  can understand ." I was right he was nervous. I had a blank expression on my face. B-'' it's not that , it's just… how can I trust you ? And why do you care all of a sudden ?  " 
J-" ye..yeah you're right , it's hard to trust me , but believe me I actually care about you ."  it  looked like he actually cares . B-" yeah…..but why all of a sudden this care  ?"  J-" Look Betty I know we are not on good terms. But seeing you like that it..it.it.  ju...just….. I can't explain , but it just that you don't deserve that ,  no one does . "
At that moment I had tears in my eyes . Except from veronica and Kevin jughead was the first one to care about me.  Even my own mother don't care about it , she just shrug it off  like nothing happened and everything is normal . I wasn't looking at him I was constantly looking at the table and fidgeting with my fingers . 
After few minutes of silence I speak up and said . B-"so.. ummm.. basically you want to know m..my story ." I said looking at him . He nodded and he looked very concerned . J-" I'm not pressuring you . If..if you want and feel comfortable about it . I'm just curious  and I really want to help you." 
B-" ok I'll tell you my story but on one condition ".      J-'' What ?"     B-" You have to tell me your story . " After few seconds of thinking he said J-" ok done deal." He said smiling a little .  B-" ok then let's start from the beginning . " I took a pause . B-" So I never had a good childhood . My mom was controlling and my dad didn't care about me at all . He always used to talk to me rudely . I have an older sister ,Polly . She was the favourite child  . She was perfect in everything she was a straight A student , a cheerleader and has a perfect reputation in school . My mom always used to force me to be like Polly and have everything perfect just like her. But one day Polly ran away with her boyfriend . My parents were furious about that . That's when it all started . My father started to abuse me and my mother knows all about this but she didn't care at all. " Till now I had tears rolling down my cheeks and  I was looking at the table. I can't look at him in his eyes .
After few minutes of silence I wiped my tears and looked at jughead . He has a mixed expression he was shocked , angry , confused and worried . J-" Oh My God Betty , does anyone know about this ." He asked worriedly .    B-" Only kevin and veronica ."  J-" a..and ho..how long this i..is happening." B-" Two years ." I said with a broken voice . He was shocked. After few minutes of silence I looked at my watch and I was late . My father is going to beat the shit out of me . 
B-" Jughead I gotta go home." I said a little freaking out while standing up . J-" Okay…, but why  are you freaking out ?" He said standing up . B-" If I would be late my father is going to beat the shit out of me ."  
J-" Ok then I'll give you a ride ." I don't have time to argue so I agreed with him . B-" ok come on let's go ." I said and we payed the bill and went out of the pops .
I saw jughead  walking towards his motorcycle . I always wanted to ride  a motorcycle . He sat on his bike and passed me his helmet . B-" And what about you ?" J-" Oh I'm fine ." I sat behind him . J-" Just hold on tight." He said and I wrapped my arms around his waist . 
I could literally feel his abs . After I hop on we drove away . 
When we reached we were 5 minutes late. I entered my house and saw my dad with a glass of whiskey in his hands , Oh Lord . 
H-" Elizabeth You Are Late , Where The Fuck Where You ?" He asked aggressively. I flinched , then jughead came behind me and said , J-" Sorry Mr. Cooper for being late , she was with me at pops , we were working on a school project and lost the track of time." I looked at him and he winked and smiled at me . My Dad calmn down a little and said H-" Ok now go to  your room." With that we went upstairs . B-" Thank you for that." J-" Anytime. And I don't want you to get in trouble because of me ,  because your five minutes late ." He smiled and I smiled back . B-" Ok then , I'll see you… in the morning . Good night."  J-"Good night."  With that we went into our room . I couldn't stop thinking about him . I mean he was the first person who cares about me ofcourse except for veronica and Kevin . I get into my payjama and fell asleep while thinking about Jughead.
