|3 and a half months later|
It seems that it had been so long...
After Archie broke up with me, he was too sad, I couldn't believe the way he had pushed him to do that. The following days I dedicated myself to taking care of Jughead, it was the only thing I had left.
After their recovery, our parents got married and officially we all lived together under the same roof. Archie and I were not the same again, we almost didn't even talk to each other. Jughead was there for me every night, supporting me and comforting me. In October he asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes. It had been a great support for me, and every day that passed I realized that in the end Archie was right, no matter how much he didn't want to, he still wanted it, and a lot.
I can't say that things were going wrong, but I still felt that something was missing... something was missing in his kiss, in his hug, in his touch. Come on, Betty, admit it, this was not what you expected.
Today was the graduation dance, after so much work Juggy and I managed to enter Yale, "the dream of our lives" he had said.
But... Is it really the dream of your life, Betty?
I sighed looking at me in the mirror again. It was such a beautiful dress but I didn't feel happy. Today would be the dance and in a week I would leave Riverdale to live a life with my boyfriend, our happy forever... I was lost.
I finished getting ready and something inside me made me look, at least a minute, towards the window.
I saw my neighbor finish getting ready in front of the mirror. He looked so handsome! I made half a smile and he turned around. He looked at me for a moment and smiled back. I missed that silly smile so much. I went to the window and put my hand on the cold glass. I felt like a fool until he imitated my action.
Oh, Arch...
《Narra Archie》
Being without Betty for the last three and a half months had been torture.
All the time I missed her, all the time I wanted to kiss her or just be with her but I also knew that I had to give her space.
When I did it, what I knew would happen happened happened: he came back with Jughead.
They became the perfect couple at school. At first I was angry and I tried something with Veronica but it didn't work, we just stayed with friends.
"If they are destined, I will come back to you, Archie," my father said one night.
Every day I had the hope that would come true, I prayed that one day it would appear at my door. I loved her.
Today would be the last school dance, and weeks ago I saw her sadder than usual. We didn't talk so I found another way to let him know that he was still here (and that if Jughead hurt him, he would break his fucking face).
When I finished fighting with my bow, I turned around and saw her standing in front of the window. He smiled at me and smiled back. Out of nowhere he approached and put his hand on the window, I remembered the time he had put a sheet saying "Romeo, save me," my body shuddered. I approached and put my hand on the glass.
Betty...
