Betty's POVWe went to the mall and I had brought a few clothes and a new phone, then we headed back to the apartment. 'Want to watch the second paranormal Activity?' Jughead asked as he opened the door, 'do we have to, the last one scared me' I pouted and he chuckled as he chucked the keys on the counter. 'Yes unless you have a good enough excuse not to' he said, 'Juggie, please' I pout fluttering my eyelashes. 'Fine' he sighed and I hugged him tight, 'go take a shower and I'll order some food' he said and I walked up to the bedroom. I put all my clothes away in the draws and wardrobe before having a shower.
I changed into his top, a pair of underwear and shorts before brushing my hair and walking downstairs. 'What did you order?' I asked sitting on the sofa, 'Dominoes' he replied and pulled me closer so I was resting on his chest. 'So I know this is going to sound really dumb,' he said 'We're back together right?' He asked and I giggled. 'We never broke up' I joked, 'you actually broke up with me' he said and I nodded, 'yes because I didn't want to make you feel alone because your girlfriend wasn't here with you' I added.
We laid like that for a few minutes in silence, till the door bell rang and Jughead went and paid, he placed the pizza box on the coffee table and opened it. I grabbed a slice, it was a cheese pizza and it was pretty big. 'Me and my sister, Polly, always use to secretly order these and get the delivery dude to pass it through my bedroom window' I smiled and took a bite, 'where's Polly now?' He asked and I shrugged, 'she was in LA last time I spoke to her, she does a lot of traveling. My parents always told her that she needed to find a well paying job and stay in one place but She didn't listen, Polly was the rebellious one, always getting into trouble, she eventually had enough and left,' I said, 'My parents were always strict, they didn't let me go to parties but Veronica always manages to sneak me to them, they barely let me have a sleepover, I wasn't allowed a boyfriend unless I planned on marrying them, I had to get straight A's, any lower and my parents would tell me how much of a disappointment I was, I couldn't wear a skirt because they'd say I was a slut even if it was below my knees. My mum and dad never loved each other, they just wanted the perfect image so they stayed together, when I turnt eighteen my dad died, and it sounds bad but I didn't cry, I wasn't happy about it but I also wasn't sad, my mum told people that he got into an accident but he killed himself. After that my mum began to take her sadness and anger out on me, she would yell and scream and lock me in my room, I eventually had enough and left too' I sighed, Jughead gave me a sympathetic look and rubbed his hand on my back, 'I'm sorry Betts, you know I think you deserve the world' he said and I gave a small smile before biting into another pizza slice.
'My parents weren't all loved up either, my mum had found out my dad was cheating and decided to confront him, when she did he was drunk and hit her in front of me, the next day my mum packed up her things and took my little sister, Jellybean, and left, I asked her to take me too but she said she couldn't afford too and she'd come back for me as soon as possible but she never did and since then when I lived at home my dad would abuse me, he'd wack me because he was angry or just because he was so fucking pissed,' he sighed, 'and the next time I saw my mum she was broken, and never told me why till a few days after, Jellybean was dead, she killed herself, she was so young but at the same time so depressed and no one noticed, when we did live together me and Jelly were more like best friends then siblings, we'd go pops together, or the park and even where I took you today, she use to hang out with me and Toni sometimes, Jellybean was the coolest, and I miss her but I can't bring her back, and after months of crying I went back to school and became the asshole I am today. My mum left to marry another man and well I don't know what happened with my dad, i don't really care either. I left home and lived on the streets till Toni found out and I lived with her for a bit, eventually I became king of the serpents and managed to earn money.' He said and my heart broke, I thought my story was bad but his was terrible, no one cared for him in his family and the only one that did died.
'I'm so sorry, Jughead, your childhood was terrible and I was here complaining about mine' I said, I hugged him tight for a minute before letting go, 'Jelly would of loved you. I crashed because that day was eight years since she's been dead, I was coming back from the graveyard where I had put flowers and was just so angry and sad I lost control for a second and crashed.' He said, he seemed so vulnerable, he was hurting and you could see it in his eyes, he didn't like talking about his past for a reason, and I guess it's because it reminds him of Jellybean, 'I think I would of loved her too' I whispered as I laid my head on his shoulder when I hugged him.
'I'm sorry, I killed the happy mood, we're back together and I killed the mood by telling you my past' he said once we finished eating, 'no no no' I pouted, 'I'm happy you told me, now I feel more closer to you then ever, and I can be there for you when you need me, I'll come with you to visit Jellybean whenever you want ,okay.' I said and he smiled 'and that is why I love you, your too good to me Betts.' 'I love you too,' I smirk and chucked the box into the bin, 'every time I say that I won't be able to stop smiling' I laugh and he chuckles.
'Do you want to watch a movie or go to bed?' He asked and I shrugged 'I don't mind.' He got up and we walked upstairs, 'finally I get my night cuddles I've been wanting for the past couple of months' he smiled and I giggle, I jump into bed and he does too after he stripped down to his boxers. He wrapped his arms around my chest, rested one leg in between mine and nuzzled his head into the back of my neck and let out a satisfying sigh, 'I've missed you so much' he mumble. I smiled not that he could see it and we both fell asleep.
