“ Why didn’t you tell me what you were planning to do? You think your mother is a better partner than I am?” One of his eyebrows was raised, a smirk was dancing on his lips but he was still worried. After they’ve discussed the tapes and the need for them to figure out who was the mastermind behind it all, who held the key to all of the answers they needed, he decided that they needed to focus on their relationship too. He loved her, he knew that something like that couldn’t destroy what they had but still it felt as if they were growing apart.

“ It’s not the first time you are doing something alone. Something I could have helped you with.” He explained as his fingers started abusing his hair. “ I know you are stronger than Bret and that you are not some damsel in distress but we don’t have any idea what he is capable of. We don’t know what kind of connections he has.” @jrnalst​

The ringing gave him a dull throb in the center of his forehead, and he knew only a mug of Pop’s coffee would help it. It was always worse on rainy days and today was no different — he glanced up at the overcast day, eyes squinting behind his sunglasses even though they blocked the worst of it. One of those days, one of those days ( yet he’d been having ‘ one of those days ‘ for months now ). Yet perhaps it was the music from this particular iPod doing the damage, and Jug glanced down to see its vibrant green color in his palm. He hadn’t seen a Nano in years. The thrift shop had been kind to him.

He wondered if the owner had been a sad person. More than that, he wondered if he took on too many personalities at once — which one was his ?

The familiar bell rung as he pushed open the door and into the diner, eyes already looking across the table tops for HER. She had become a friend, a confidant, a STABLE PLACE in this chaotic town. Deep down he knew it wasn’t her job to be this figure in his life but he couldn’t help himself from it, and every time he stepped into the diner his resolve crumbled. If he depended on this, then THEY would have something to attack.

     “      YOU  KNOW  YOU’RE  CUTE  WHEN  YOU’RE  TELLIN’  ME  OFF,      but  if  my  sheriff  dad  can’t  stop  me  from  causin’  trouble,  then  some  cute  blonde  with  a  ponytail  ain’t  gonna  stop  me  either,      ”

His lips were pressed into a fine line, it was a heartbeat too late for them to discuss what they had to discuss. What he had learned for the past few months was that there were always consequences, good or bad. Her need to be independent and his fear not to involve her into his mess of life got them here. They were just a minute too late but there were already consequences. A sigh escaped his lips as he nodded. “ We should have.” Yet, they didn’t and they didn’t have a choice but to state the obvious now.

It was impossible to keep a secret in a town like Riverdale, it was impossible to hide a piece of information before it turned into a well-known fact. He should have known better, they’ve been here many times before. “ We are stronger than that, aren’t we?” he questioned but it wasn’t a question at all. There were a few things that Jughead Jones was certain of and one of them was their relationship. They’ve hit rock bottom many times but like a phoenix, they rose from the ashes and were ready to burn down the world together again.

“ It’s too late to talk about it now, we need to act.” He concluded as he ran his fingers through her hair. “ Don’t worry,Betts. The night is ours. “ And even though he was not sure if they had enough time, they had tonight and it seemed as if it was all they needed.

     “      I  KNOW  THINGS  HAVE  BEEN  ROUGH  WITH  US,      ”      understatement  of  the  year.      things  had  been  more  than  rough  with  betty  and  him,  especially  since  it  had  been  revealed  that  he  was  from  a  long  line  of  werewolves  and  she  was  raised  to  hunt  him,  she  had  only  been  friends  with  them  so  she  could      KILL      him.      but  then  things  hadn’t  exactly  worked  out  that  way,  plus  he  had  come  close  to  nearly  killing  her  in  those  moments  where  the  animal  took  over  and  he  had  lost  himself.      however,  he  missed  his  friend,  betty  cooper.      he  missed  going  to  the  movies  with  her,  he  missed  talking  with  her  over  a  burger  and  he  just  wished  that  things  could  return  to      NORMAL      .      this  was  their  normal  now,  he  was  the  werewolf  and  she  was  the  hunter,  they  just  had  to  figure  out  how  their  friendship  would  develop  from  here,      “      but  you  have  no  idea  how      GRATEFUL      i  am  for  you  and  how  there  is  no  way  i  can  repay  you  for  what  you  have  done  for  me  and  jb,      ”

he sees her staring . most likely because she’s just walked into the otherwise empty girl’s bathroom , and he’s leaning against the porcelain sink , cloud of smoke spreading from his lips and polluting the air . bender takes a breath before holding out the joint to her . ‘ you want a drag ? sharing is caring , right ? ’
