#poor jughead

Summer before college can't live in the house of Betty so move to Archie's where Fred made him feel safe. Yet, Fred isn't there and Mary doesn't care. (So is Archie going to buy the house in 5x04 or where is he going to stay?)

He doesn't even try FP in Toledo because he got turned down at graduation. Maybe reminds him too much of Gladys turning him down after his father got arrested.

So he just goes to the bunker. To be by himself. The newest drive in. He feels alone. Abandoned yet again. By his family and his so-called friends.

His most loyal is Pop. That scene at the end as Jug was there. Pop's face showed it all. He like Jug was trying to justify it.

Jug is a friend, he cares and hopefully one day he will understand he deserves more. He deserves to be loved and cherished. He needs to fight for him too. He grew up almost as an adult and he survived homeless, almost murdered twice but he never gives up hope. Good for him. I hope he never gives that up.

“No, no way, man.” Jughead shook his head. “Absolutely not.” 

“I feel you,” Reggie said with a casual shrug. “But I don’t think you’re going to get a say.” 

“How can I not get a say? It’s my birthday!” 

“She’s trying to do something nice.” Reggie threw the basketball he’d been holding at him, smirking when Jughead winced at the impact. “So if you act like a dick, you’re going to be the one sleeping on the couch, bro, not her.” 

“Okay, first of all, that sort of thing is outdated, Betty wouldn’t punish me by kicking me out of our bedroom. And second of all, I’d never make Betty sleep on the couch no matter how mad I was.”
