TW ⚠️ ~ mentions of sexual assault

"Betty!" Jug called up the stairs. "Your mom said dinner is ready, honey." Jughead moved to sit at the dining table along with JB as FP and Alice dished up their food. Jughead turned his head as he heard Betty's footsteps running down the stairs.
"Ugh, I'm starving." Betty groaned as she reached the bottom, turning the corner to sit on Jughead's lap, placing herself on one of his knees, as her mom walked over with the food, shortly followed by FP who was carrying a jug of water.
"Umm...Betty, you do know there is a chair right next to you that doesn't already have a human sitting in it." Alice reminded.
"I know." Betty replied, nuzzling her nose into Jughead's wild locks that were free from it's beanie prison for once. She lightly placed a kiss to his hair before turning and picking at the potatoes her mom had just placed on the table. Betty took a bite before turning and offering it to Jughead who gladly finished it off from Betty's fingers.
"I'm gonna miss you." She whispered, quietly into his ear, wrapping her arms around his neck and nuzzling her head into his chest.
"What do you mean?" He asked, confused.
"When you go back to school tomo- oh my god! I completely forgot! You don't go to Stonewall anymore." She gasped, suddenly at the realisation.
"You forgot that I go to the same school as you?" He chuckled, lightly.
"Oh don't say it like that. I still miss you, you know. Even though you're back, you have a lot of making up to do." She giggled, running her hands through his hair.
"That I do. And I will live up to that promise. I promise." Betty giggled at his repeated promises, not paying attention to the fake gagging coming from her sister in law, hearing the adults laughing along.
"Well considering you guys have a sex tape, which was made whilst you were at Stonewall, I don't think you missed out on much." JB stated, absentmindedly. Everyone stopped in shock and turned to look at the youngest.
"Did I just say that out loud?" She muttered, blushing.
"JB, honey, how do you know about that tape?" Alice asked, gently. Seeing her mother behave this kindly towards JB made Betty wonder if she would have been a better mother if Betty had been growing up now or if she simply felt like she couldn't treat JB the way that she treated Betty because she wasn't her daughter.
"I, uh...I heard Jug and Betty talking about it and my friend, Stacey told me that she'd heard a rumour that there were tapes being released and I know that there are some weird tapes going around at the moment but I was just scared that the next one was going to be of Betty and Jug. So...I-I followed Betty and Alice to Stonewall that one time, when Jug had his tournament and I got on the train. I heard these people talking about how they saw the tapes and then they started going into detail which was just grossing me out so I left, but before I could I heard about some lawsuit against Jug." Everybody sat in shock at this new burst of information.
"God, JB, how long have you been holding this in?" Betty asked, sympathetically, brushing the younger girl's hair off her face, still sat in Jug's lap.
"A while. Is J in trouble?" She asked, a sad look in her eyes. They all looked around the table not really understanding.
"About the lawsuit?" FP questioned.
"Yeah." She whispered.
"Did you hear what this lawsuit was?" Jug asked, confused.
"Yeah, but I don't want to say. It'll make you guys sad." She muttered, shyly.
"Jelly, it's okay, you can tell us." Jughead assured.
"They said you're going to be put on trial for sexual assault because of the content of the tape." JB blurted before turning beet red and lowering her head into her hands. Betty had tears in her eyes as she turned to look at Jug, who returned the somber look. Betty stood up and crouched next to JB's chair rubbing her hand up her back.
"I'm so sorry that you had to hear that, sweetie. But your brother is going to be fine. It's not like I'm gonna get up on the stand and testify that the accusations are true because they are far from it." Betty assured.
"Are you sure?" She whispered, quietly to Betty.
"Why in the world would I testify against my boyfriend?" Betty asked.
"If it's true you would." She squeaked, meekly. Jughead's eyes widened and Betty dropped her hand from her back in shock.
"I'm sorry." Jellybean mumbled before running up the stairs. For a while all four of the remaining adults, sat there contemplating what to say next. Betty sat up in JBs chair, running her hand through her ponytail and sighing.
"Betty...honey, why would they put Jughead on trial for sexual assault?" Alice questioned.
"I don't know...it's always consensual. Always. I mean...maybe the content is a little...heavy-handed...but it's nothing I didn't...ask for." Betty explained.
"Oh God..."Alice mutters under her breath.
"Okay, well...as long as Betty doesn't testify and there's some sort of...evidence...that it's consensual in the tape then it should be fine." FP assured.
"Well there's no way in hell that I'm testifying and Jug always asks if I'm okay or if I'm uncomfortable. I have no doubt that he asks during that tape." Betty spoke confidently. Jughead sat silently, head in hands, not really listening to the conversation.
"Juggie..." Betty whispered, hand combing through his hair. She heard him suck in a breath before lifting his head with tears in his eyes. FP and Alice noticed Jug's express and slowly made their way out to the back porch.
"Hey...talk to me. What's going through your head right now?" Betty questioned, resting her head on one of her hands whilst the other continued to ran through his hair.
"I'm sorry..." He whispered, quickly wiping away a tear that fell down his face.
"Why are you sorry?" She spoke in a hushed tone.
"I just can't believe that all of this has happened. If I hadn't gone to that stupid school in the first place then none of this would have happened. Not only that but now my little sister thinks that I'm capable of hurting you." Jughead rambled.
"Jug, she does not believe that. She loves you and she's just confused. I'll talk to her, okay? I promise she doesn't think anything bad of you." Betty explained.
"But what if I am?" He whispered as if he was committing to a felony.
"What if you are what?" She asked.
"Capable of hurting you." He replied.
"Jughead, you could never."
"Have I ever?" He questioned.
"Hurt me? Jughead NO! Of course not. You know I'd tell you if you were." She spoke, shocked.
"Sometimes I just get so lost in you that I lose control and...I don't know, I just-"
"Jughead, that's a good thing" Betty interrupts, "it shows me how much you love me. As much as you might think that you lose control, I know that you're always cautious of me, okay?" She explained.
"Okay...I think I'm gonna go for a walk down to Sweetwater River."
"Jug, are you sure?" She asked, concerned.
"Yeah, I promise I'm fine. I just need a little breather." He said, collecting his coat and putting on his shoes.
"Whilst you're gone I'll have a chat with Jelly and see how she is."
"Alright, just be gentle with her, this is probably really difficult for her." He said.
"Of course. I just want to see how she's doing with everything." Betty reassured. "I'll see you later." She gave him a quick peck on the lips, before he pulled her in by the waist to deepen it.
"I love you, Betts." He spoke sincerely.
"I love you too honey." She pecked his lips again before he made his way out the door.

"Knock knock." Betty spoke as she knocked on JB's bedroom door. She heard a sniffle before a quiet murmur of 'come in'. Betty made her way into the bedroom, seeing JB laying face forward on her bed, buried in the pillow. She slowly turned her head to face the door with small splotches of mascara littered under her eyes and on the floral pillow case.
"Oh sweetie." Betty sighed, sitting down on the bed, rubbing the girls back in comfort. "Do you wanna talk?" Betty asked, not wanting to invade her privacy. Jellybean nodded slightly before sitting up against the headboard facing Betty.
"Are you and Jughead okay?" Jellybean blurted out, "I'd hate it if I made things bad for you guys because you're both huge role models to me." She insisted.
"We're fine JB, but we're worried about you. Jug's pretty upset that you think he would hurt me though." Betty reassured.
"I know that he's a good guy and he's my brother so I love him but I'd never want to not believe you just because of that." Jellybean explained.
"I know and that makes you an incredible person. I'm so proud of you for looking at both sides. Especially in something as serious as a sexual assault accusation." Betty said.
"So it's not true?" She asked.
"Not even in the slightest. I promise." Jellybean jumped up from her position and wrapped her arms around Betty's neck. Betty sat in shock for a while before returning the hug.
"I love you." JB whispered into Betty's neck. Betty felt her eyes glaze over.
"I love you too, sweetie." Betty whispered back. "Why don't we go into mine and Jug's room and watch a chick flick on the TV?" She asked, pulling back from the hug.
"Clueless?" JB raised her eyebrows.
"Always." Betty replied, giggling.

"There's my two favourite girls." Jughead announced, walking into the bedroom to see Betty and JB sat on the bed with a bowl of popcorn between them.
"Hey...you feeling better?" Betty asked, whilst Jughead placed a kiss to her cheek.
"Yeah, the police skimmed through the..." Jughead cleared his throat, glancing in JB's direction before finishing, "the tape...and there is evidence of you giving consent and considering that you don't want to testify, they don't have anything to charge me with." He finished with a smile.
"Oh, that's great!" Betty replied, hugging him.
"You doing okay, tiger?" Jughead asked JB.
"After my mini meltdown I'm good." JB laughed.
"Good, I'm glad. Scooch!" Jughead flicked his hand indicating for Betty to move up enough for him to get onto the bed. "What're we watching?"
"Clueless." The girls replied at the same time.
"Ugh, as if." Jughead said, sending them all into fits of laughter.
