All I'm going to say is buckle up for the next few chapters😊😔 I looked it up and apparently Veronica's birthday is January 12th so this works out.

Veronica's POV...

A week later...

"Ronnie!!" Cheryl sing-songs walking up to my locker.

"You're quite chipper" I laugh lightly putting away some text books I won't need.

"Duh cause you're birthday is tomorrow " she rolls her eyes playfully.

"Oh yeah, I forgot about that" I close my locker.

"How did you forget?!" She links our arms and we begin walking down the hallway.

"I don't know, my birthday doesn't matter to me" I shrug walking out the school doors.

"Forsythe Pendleton Jones you better put some sense into your girlfriend" Cheryl threatens as soon as we make it to Jughead's motorcycle.

"What happened?" He asks looking at me.

"She thinks her birthday isn't important" she tells him.

"I mean I don't really like my birthday either, but Ronnie you've always loved your birthday" Jughead looks at me with concern.

"I thought I did, but it's literally just another day, only difference is I turn 18" I point out.

"Exactly 18 is an important age" Cheryl argues.

"Not really" I sit on the bike comfortably.

"We'll talk about this later" she gives jug a look the. walks away.

"Are you sure you don't want your birthday to be a big thing?" Jug asks sitting on the motorcycle.

"Yes, I rather just spend it with my closest friends" I tell him and he nods.

We drove to the Pembrooke and enjoyed watching movies together. Honestly I'm not sure how we haven't run out of things to watch.

It was the most uneventful day, but I didn't mind it because I like chill days like these.

"Ronnie you're falling asleep" Jughead plays with my hair and I open my eyes.

"Oh" I sit up and stretch my arms.

"Want to take a nap?" He asks pausing the movie.

"Yes" I nod grabbing the throw blanket from the other couch. I let jug lay down first then I lay down throwing the blanket over us.

"I love you Ronnie" he whispers kissing my temple.

"I love you too" I whisper back before falling back asleep.

...

The next day...

I wake up to the sound of whispering and the smell of a delicious breakfast. When I slowly open my eyes I see jug and everyone standing at the edge of the bed.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY RONNIE!" They shout on the top of their lungs.

"Thanks you guys" I smile and take the little tray jug put in front of me. It had pancakes, diced fruit, orange juice, bacon, a bagel, and a cupcake with a candle.

I recognized it from magnolia bakery.

"Today is going to be the best, so hurry up and eat so you can get ready" Cheryl says sitting on the bed.

"What do you guys have planned?" I ask.

"Now it's not a surprise if I tell you" she rolls her eyes playfully.

I hate that I love you...Where stories live. Discover now
