My brother's best friend

The Last Task

I woke up the next morning and got a call immediately from Archie. 

"Is it done?" He asked. 

"Yes! It's done! Now stop!" 

"No! One more task...you must get Veronica to go out with me again." 

"Archie, you're freaking pathetic! You talk to her yourself!" 

"Polly is leaving this afternoon. Still gives me time to-" 

"Fine, I'll talk to her. But you must promise me one thing." 

"And what's that?" 

"I get to tell Jughead I was blackmailed by you." 

"Deal." He said quickly. He hung up and I decided to call her instead. I couldn't see any anger or hurt in another persons eyes. 

"Hi B, I'm getting ready to go out with Sweetpea, so make this quick." 

"Yeah, about that. I think you should go out with someone else." 

"No thank, B. I'm happy with someone else. Someone that YOU suggested!" 

"I know! But I think you should...give Archie another try." 

"No! He was hurtful and we became bored with our relationship!" 

"I just think you should...try one more time." 

"B, you've gone insane. I'm happy with my relationship." 

"I know, bu-" 

Veronica then hung up and I felt anger in my heart. I called Archie and I was ready to tell him off. 

"Is it-" 

"NO! IT'S NOT DONE! SHE DOES NOT LOVE YOU ANYMORE! GO FIND SOME OTHER CHICK! I HONESTLY DO NOT CARE ANYMORE IF YOU DIE ALONE OR IF YOU WANT TO RUN AWAY! YOU CAN RELEASE THE DANG PHOTO OF JUGHEAD AND I! YOU HAVE DROVE AWAY THE LOVE OF MY LIFE, MY BROTHER'S GIRLFRIEND, AND MY BEST FRIEND! YOU'RE JUST AN UGLY AND PATHETIC LOSER!" I yelled. I heard sniffs through the phone. 

"Archie...are you crying?!" I said in shock. 

"N-no! Y-you are!" He said quietly. He then hung up. I wish I had just yelled at him a few days ago. I then called Jughead. 

"Hello?" He said annoyed. 

"Archie made me do it! He blackmailed me to breakup with you! He said he would hurt Polly if I didn't! I love you, Jughead Jones! You must believe me!" I cried. Silence. That's all there was. 

"Why-why didn't you tell me?" 

'I was just scared, Jughead. I'm just asking for your forgiveness." 

"Of course I forgive you. What hurt the most is you telling me that you love me, and then you dumping me." 

"When will you come home?" I asked quietly. 

"I don't know, Betts. I don't think I can come back for a while." 

"Alright. I miss you already though." I smiled. 

"I miss you too." He said. There was a loud knock on my door. 

"Hey, I have to go." 

"Okay, I love you." 

"I love you too." I giggled. I then hung up and got the door. It was Kevin. 

"We need to talk." He whispered. He then came to my room and I shut the door. We sat on the edge of my bed. 

"Moose is still in the closet about our relationship. I don't know how to help him." Kevin sighed. I put my hand on Kev's shoulder. 

"I think he should wait until he wants to come out." 

"He wants to but he's scared."

"Kev, I don't know how to help you. I'm not...I can't help." I sighed. Kevin started to get sad. He laid his head on my shoulder and cried. I held him. I hated seeing Kevin sad. He was my best friend. My pal. He cried there for awhile while I told him about life right now. We had a little cry fest. The hardest part of remembering life...was that I wouldn't see Jughead for a long time.
