Bettys POV
I was in my room as Jughead rubbed my back and Veronica had left because...I think it was obvious....
Jughead looked out my window saying "I have no clue where your mom is but she was supposed to be here and I'm not sure how?" 
I asked "is it true?" 
He turned back to me and asked "what is?" 
As he pulled my curtains and I frowned saying "is it true...is it true you knew about my mom and didn't tell me?" 
He looked at me and gulped and I said "how long have you known?" 
He frowned and I shouted "how long!?" 
He sighed and said "I never knew she was your mom...but the moment I met her through you...it just clicked..." 
I scoffed and said "my dad hasn't even been... when was the first time you saw them?" 
He sighed and said "please can we no do this now?" 
I shouted "Forsyth Pendleton Jones the Third just fucking tell me!" 
He gulped and said "about a year or so ago..." 
I bean shaking as my hands felt numb and my whole body didn't feel like it could move.
"My dad...he moved during my freshmen year...so you're telling me right when I'm about to be a sophomore..." 
He sighed and I screamed holding my head saying "I said you were honest! I looked up to her! God you both are fucking liars why didn't you tell me!" 
He shouted "because she threatened me! She has a reputation of actually hurting people Betty! She threatened us! Our relationship! Besides would you have ever even believed me!?" 
I shouted "yes! Because I trust you! Why would you make up something like that even if!?" 
He frowned and I said "I...I...get out..." 
He said "no Betts the front door..." 
I shouted "get out! Get out! Get out! I never want to see you again!" 
He grabbed my face and said "please...we can fix this I'm so so sorry it won't happen again...I love you please..." 
He kissed me and held me tightly as I cried saying "yet you make it so hard to believe..." 
I cried and he said "don't leave me Betty...you're the only one who makes me see through my darkness please..." 
I said "I'm sorry..." 
I took off my necklace and shoved it at him "maybe you can find somewhere else to stay...using that money." 
He frowned and said "please..." 
I told him "get out..." 
He ran out and I cried and sat on the end of my bed and held my face and screamed into my legs. I saw my mom come inside and she saw the door and saw me.
She said "oh Betty..." 
She ran to me but I shoved her away and I said "is it true? You're cheating on dad!?" 
She sighed and said "I was trying to tell you that during the break but it's over! Seeing your father again made me realize how much I love him and how much I can't live without him." 
I scoffed and said "dad has been fucking loyal! He has been in New York, he asks about you every night, every morning of every single fucking day and second. He tells me the most romantic shit about you two only for you to be fucking someone else!" 
She shouted "language!" 
I said "you don't get to tell me what I can or can't say anymore." 
She said "you're grounded." 
She walked past me and I said "that depends... how long have you been with Mr Jones?" 
She stopped and she turned to look at me as I said "you destroyed my relationship...how long were you with him?" 
She frowned and said "the start of your first summer as a high schooler..." 
I said "wait...dad left for New York June 15...you're such a whore!" 
She slapped me and I held my face and I said "you never loved dad!" 
She said "go to your room now!" 
I said "you're the worst mother ever! How did I ever look up to you!" 
I ran to my room and slammed and locked my door as I held my head and cried and shoved everything in a duffel bag I barricaded the door with my desk and grabbed my stuff and got it in my bag quickly. I saw my ring Jughead gave me and took it off. I sighed and looked at my phone and texted my dad and frowned. I shoved my bag out the window. I looked back and jumped out of my window. As I walked and cried it began raining. I looked up and held my phone tightly as my dad called and I picked it up. 
He said "Elizabeth I love you but the text you sent scared me...are you okay?" 
I sniffled and said "I know you might not believe me...but I've never lied to you and I'm still not gonna lie to you..." 
He said "you're scaring me Elizabeth what's wrong?" 
I sniffled and said "mom she's...she's not been loyal...she's sleeping with someone else... Jugheads dad..." 
He said "as in...Forsyth Pendleton Jones Jr?" 
I stopped and asked "how do you know?" 
He said "your mom and him dated when she met me, she chose me over him..." 
I sniffled and he said "he nearly killed me when he found out...your mother...when Elizabeth?" 
As I sat down on a bus bench I said "freshmen to sophomore summer..." 
He said "when I left?" 
I frowned and he hung up and I cried and called him again but he didn't pick up. I held my bag tightly and suddenly a car pulled up in front of me. I looked up seeing Smithers and he came out quickly and I cried and he helped me up and got me inside the car. As we got to the Pembroke the door opened and I saw Mrs Lodge as she saw me. 
I cried and she shouted "mija! It's Betty!" 
I saw Veronica and she frowned and I cried as she ran and hugged me.
I held her and cried holding her and said "everything's ruined..." 
She rubbed my back saying "how about we...get you showered, some new clothes and some tea?" 
I sniffled and nodded as she let me inside.
