Last sentences as a recap from the last part: She led me to there bathroom and when I got there, the first think that I saw was blood on the broken mirror, leading down to Archie sitting unconscious under it. Water was splashed everywhere and there was a broken glass jar on the floor. "What happened?" She exhaled and went into the bathroom. "I don't even know where to start" I followed her into the restroom, turned her around and held her hand. "Let's start from the beginning" I said as I rubbed her palms and she nodded.
Ok lets start the story!!!
Jughead's POV:
We both sat down on the bathroom floor. Betty exhaled "OK so I was driving home from a shift at pops. Normally he-." she paused for a moment "He hits me and gives me bruises when I get home but today was different, He was being kind and gentle. He even offered me a bath, I didn't know what was going on but I didn't question it. This was the first time I've felt loved in a long time. I agreed to the bath, not knowing that was probably one of the worst decisions I've ever made. My first was agreeing to be his girlfriend. Anyway, so once the bath was ready I went inside of it and he was putting soap inside the water, he was rubbing my shoulders, doing everything he could to get me relaxed. He took advantage of it though. He told me to hold my breath, I was confused so I looked at him but right after I did, he pushed me into the water. It was a terrifying experience. I didn't get to suck in any air so it was harder for me to hold my breath, he was pushing my shoulders deeper into the water every second leaving." She moved her sleeve, letting me see the bruises on her shoulders "these. Just as I was about to pass out, he took me out of the water and I finally was able to breathe. I remember coughing a lot and scared to look at him in the eye, but I built up enough courage to do so. He asked me how it felt even when he knew exactly what it felt like, he was the one who did it to me. I thought he wanted me to suck it up and be a happy girlfriend so I said that it felt great. I don't know if those were my exact words but I remember perfectly that rage started to form in his eyes. He said that if I enjoyed it so much that we should do it again, so he pushed me back in there. I can't really remember much that happened, it all happened so fast but I remember getting this glass jar." She was going out to reach the broken class on the floor. "don't touch that, you could cut yourself." She looked at me "I've gone through worse as you could tell." She picked up the piece, stared at it for a while, then continued with the story. "When I felt this jar on the side of the tub, I quickly hit him in the head with it. He fell over, I shot up from the water and started to cough uncontrollably. I knew he didn't go unconscious so this was my only chance to get away from him or just call someone for help. I stood up and tried to make a run out for it but I felt his hand grab my ankle, pulling me back making me fall on my knees which hurt so much by the way. He dragged me across the restroom floor, picked me up and slammed me onto a bathroom wall. He started slapping me and telling me awful things like I was a slut and that I don't deserve him." I saw tears starting to come out of her eyes. I held her hand "I-I started to feel angry and I-." she looked down then up at Archie. "you can tell what happened." I was in shock of everything that I just heard. I was mad at Archie but more mad at myself for not knowing that she was going through all this. "Betty, I'm so so sorry that this happened to you. If I would have dug more into this, none of this would have happen-." She put her hand on my leg "No Jughead no!" I could see her lip shivering. "you can not blame this on yourself! You had no idea that I was going through this, no one did." I nodded. "Betty we have to tell the police about all this." She looked me and shaked her head repeatedly. "No no no, I don't want anyone to know about this." I could tell she was holding in her tears. "Betty we have to. He abused you mentally and physically." She looked down for a second the up at me again and I could see that she finally let all her tears fall out. "I don't want anyone to know what happened, and I don't think I would ever be ready to talk to the police about what happened. I could barely bring myself to tell you." I grabbed her hand "I will be here with you through everything, I promise. You will feel better once the police are involved because he will go to jail for a long time and you will be safe." She let out a shaky breath and closed her eyes for a couple seconds before saying. "ok." I looked up at her "what?" She bit her lip "I'll talk to the police." I smiled a little bit when I heard her say that and she gave me a smile back.
summary of what happened
They called the police and they took both Archie and betty in for questioning. Archie was soon enough behind bars for the abuse of betty cooper.
Two months later after everything was cleared up:
Jughead's POV:
Betty moved in with me after the whole Archie incident because I wanted to make sure she was ok and that she didn't try anything. She's gotten better and has been going to therapy. I still haven't confessed my feelings for her because I thought it was to soon after her last relationship, but I think I'm gonna try asking her if she feels the same way today. We were watching a movie on the sofa right now. "Hey Betty?" She paused the movie and then looked at me "yeah?" I bit my lip then sat up "um, I know that your past relationship wasn't a good one and that you might not be ready for about what I'm about to tell you but." I looked down then sighed "Betty I like you. I've liked you since the day I met you, your eyes, your hair, your personality. You were so perfect. I never built up the courage to tell you and Archie got to ask you first. I know you might not be ready and I totally get it and I get if this changes things between us but, I can't keep my feelings inside anymore." I finally looked up at her, straight at her eyes. "I love you, Betty cooper" She had a soft laugh, smiled a little then shook her head "This is some corny shit but. Jughead Jones, I love you to." I sighed in relief. "Thank god, I did not want to be rejected." She giggled then went up to me and kissed me. ( FINALLY ) Me and Betty were finally at peace, I got to express my feelings for her and she finally found someone who will love and adore her. Me. I guess some stories do have a happy ending. (:
