"I'm at 1 day again... and single..."

Jughead: Where are you?
Jughead: Archie, I need you pls
Jughead: Pls, idk how long I can resist
Jughead: Archie
Jughead: Can I come to yours?
Jughead: Are you home?

*10 minutes later*

Jughead:You aren't home
Jughead: Archie, where are you
Jughead: Please
Jughead: Betty and I fought again
Jughead: And I found some old pills in my stuff again
Jughead: Archie please, where are you?
Jughead: I really fucking need you

Archie: Fuck, sry, I was asleep. Let me just grab a shirt and then I'll open the door for you, okay?

Archie opened the door to his apartment to find the raven haired boy pacing in front of his apartment, fumbling with his phone. When he heard the door open, he looked up and their eyes met.

"Oh my god, Jughead. I'm sorry, really. I was asleep" the redhead apologized, letting the smaller in.

"Here" Jughead mumbled, giving him a bottle of Oxycoton "I don't know, Betty and I fought again and while packing my stuff I found some old stuff, including that. I- I don't want to do that, I'm clean for exactly 146 days, I won't throw that away"

"Jughead, hey, from the start, what happened?" Archie asked in a calming voice, resting his hands on the other's shoulders, after having put the pills in his pants pocket.

"We fought again.... I... no, she... uh I don't know why we fought-"

"You never do" the redhead interrupted, the other giving him a glare.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Archie shrugged.

"It just means that you always fight. This has been going on since when? Three months? Four months? Every day or at least once a week, you've been having a fight with her and then you run back to me"

"Because you're my mentor, Archie! You're supposed to help me through that! I really don't know what happened... I just- I want to take something, Archie. Just something, anything... I-"

"It's always the same, you know? Every time it's Betty and every time you come here and give me something you found, only to give it to me so that I can throw it away, when you 'found' something else the next time already to give it to me again — which results in an endless cycle"

"That's not true, you don't know what I have. What do you think am I doing? Buy new stuff every day or week? Do you really think that? Do you know how expensive that is?? I don't have the money for that! I live with my manager from the bar, for God's sake! I sleep on a couch and literally only have one backpack of things. I don't have the fucking money and live from others, okay??"

"Well, do you want to hear something from me?? Veronica broke up with me a week ago, my father cut me off of all the money founds I used to have and now I have to do more than just the gigs! We all have shitty life's and you, with your oh so bad childhood and how shitty your life is and how it was to be homeless. You're feeding everyone up with that!" once it all left Archie's mouth and he looked at how sad Jughead looked, he sighed "Jug I... I'm sorry... I know that it was hard for you. I shouldn't have said all of that... I'm just fed up by yours and Betty's relationship. You constantly fight and then you run back to her because she can't stand being alone"
