Jugheads POV
I was at home when my dad came in.

I looked at him and he said "you moving back or what?"

I told him "I'm staying with Toni."

"You destroyed their lives...Bettys parents are now getting divorced and she's moving!" I shouted.

He laughed saying "I helped them, now Harold knows Alice never really loved him..."

He smirked and I said "you're such a monster... have you not realized your actions have destroyed a family!?"

He sighed and said "whatever..."

I said "I thought you loved me, because now you're getting your fucking wish! Bettys parents are getting a divorce! Bettys moving away! My heart...is broken..."

He looked at me and I said "I will hate you for the rest of my fucking life!"

I left the trailer and slammed the door and drove off.

Bettys POV
I was in my house with my dads bodyguard as he said "I'm sorry Miss Cooper...but your father said it's for the best."

I said "I know...I just...wanna get out of this stupid house."

He nodded and I packed boxes as my mom came by the door and the guard shielded me and I sniffled.

She said "why can I not just talk to my daughter?"

He didn't say anything and I sighed and said "mom just go away..."

She said to me "please Elizabeth...don't leave me...you and your father, you're the only people I have..."

I said "you told me that the serpents are a family, go be with Mr Jones for all you care...my relationship is destroyed because of you! My senior year is destroyed because of you! Ugh I can't even look at you right now!"

I sniffled and said "I don't care anymore...I just wanted my happy family together again that's all...but you ruined it."

I cried and shut my door and I sat down on my bed and cried.

He said "would you like to call your father?"

I shook my head saying "I'm okay..."

I sniffled and said "can you call Veronica?"

He nodded and I sniffled and he went on his phone.

I was with Veronica as she said "just a few more weeks...are you okay?"

I said "I don't know...I just...I'm trying my best..."

She said "hey...look I know it's not easy at all but you have to try okay...just make it through and then we can continue on a amazing pathway and journey for college. Besides you can sweep valedictorian next year. Those kids won't know what hit them."

I smiled and she said "let's eat ice cream, watch movies and enjoy whatever time we have left together because Im gonna miss my best friend."

I laughed and hugged her, she hugged me back and smiled saying "let's get you happy."

I nodded and she smirked. The next day I was at my locker taking my stuff out.

My dads guard asked me "are you okay?"

I said "no...I'm leaving all of my friends..."

He sighed and I said "I'm just...conflicted I don't know..."

He nodded and I saw Jughead and he saw me.

I gulped and said to the bodyguard "wait right here..."

He nodded and I walked up to Jughead, he looked at me saying "I can't change your mind can I?"

I said "I wish..."

He frowned and said "look...I...I'm sorry...for everything Betts, the moment I found out when your mom dragged you from the Wyrm I should've told you...but I was scared...scared of your mom, scared for us..."

I sighed and he said "I know you won't stay and I'm not gonna force you to stay either...I just...I hope that you're gonna be okay...if anything, call me or text me and I'll be there in five seconds."

He smiled and I smiled and said "I love you... and that feeling doesn't ever go away...and I don't know if it will..."

I gulped and he said "there's long distance?"

I sighed and said "I just...can't easily forgive you Jug."

He nodded and I said "but before I do go...I just..."

I held his hand and he held mine and I took off my ring.

He said "I hoped you would keep it..."

I frowned and a tear slowly left my eye as I held his hand and placed the ring in his palm.

I closed his hand saying "give it to the next girl you fall in love with...no matter it be next year...or in college..."

I smiled and he frowned and I sniffled and he held my face saying "I love you...more than anyone in this world, there's no one else for me Elizabeth Marie Cooper, no one..."

I stared at him and began shaking and shook my head.

I said "I'm sorry..."

I pulled his hands off and I walked back to my locker and grabbed my stuff in the box. I cried as the guard led me out. I turned back to the school and sniffled.

He asked me "are you ready to head to the airport Miss Cooper?"

I sniffled and suddenly I saw the doors. I saw Jughead as he ran down the stairs and I looked at him.

"Jughead please leave me alone..."

He grabbed my arm and I said "Jug..."

He held my face saying "just...one last kiss?"

Suddenly my dads guard grabbed him.

I said "it's okay Stewart...."

He let go of Jughead and I sighed and I said "okay..."

He smiled and leaned into me and kissed me. I held one side of his face and he rubbed my back and pulled away and leaned his forehead against mine. I dropped my box and held his neck and kissed him as I felt him kiss me back. I slowly pulled away.

He muttered out "goodbye Betty..."

I looked at him and hugged him saying "don't stay with your father okay?"

He nodded and I shut my eyes and sniffled.

I pulled away and said "take care of yourself, don't stay as a serpent. Or...go see your mom...stay with her. Please. Don't get into more trouble okay?"

He nodded gently as I kissed his cheek.

I let go of him as I went towards the car and waved him goodbye. He waved back and I went back inside.

I sighed and Stewart said "young love is always beautiful..."

I frowned and said "yeah it is...like Romeo and Juliet...they never get the happy ending they wanted."

He said "well...i suppose...but you can chnage that."

I frowned and said "let's just get to the airport..."

Hw nodded and we left.
