My Boyfriend's Lover (A Beronica Story)

Chapter 2: Meeting Him

Betty

It was nearing the end of weekend and I kind of happy about it. Archie had made it clear he wanted me gone, but I was too scared to break up with him. He was all I ever knew and I didn't want to see it fully disappear.

Betty- "s-so I'll see you next weekend?" Archie- "uh yeah, sure I guess" he didn't take his eyes off of the tv which just made me sigh. I gathered the rest of my things before heading out the door

This weekend felt long and short at the same time. I don't know what I was holding on to but I knew that it was slowly slipping away. Once I made it to the elevator there was another girl standing there waiting. I had already seen her going up the stairs when I first got her but It was a little awkward but also strangely comfortable. We got on the elevator and I could hold it anymore and started crying silent tears.

I was trying not to make it obvious but it was quite hard. I just let everything get to me and of course it had to be when I was with a stranger in an elevator.

Veronica

I had packed up my stuff from Katy's and I was ready to go back to my own apartment. Katy was barely there all weekend so it felt like a waste. I was waiting by the elevator for a little bit before this girl stood next to me

It was the same girl I saw when I first got to Katy's a couple days ago. We got off the elevator and went out separate ways. I went to a little cafe that Katy took me too, and I was just trying to feel better about myself

I was sitting alone when all of a sudden, this guy walked up to me. He had red hair and was built like a football player. He looked familiar but I had no idea where I knew him from

??- "hey!" Veronica- "um hey" ??- "can I sit?" Veronica- "sure, knock yourself out" he sat down across from me as Ioved my bag off of the table. ??- "I come here almost everyday and I haven't seen you around" Veronica- "um yeah, I-I was just visiting my friend who lives a couple blocks away" ??- "oh yeah? Well she's probably not as cute as you are"

I blushed even through things like that never made me smile like that. Veronica- "I would say thank you but I don't even know your name" Archie- "I'm Archie, what about you?" Veronica- "Lodge, Veronica Lodge" I held my hand out for his as he shook it. Archie- "so Veronica, how about I buy you a drink tonight, I know a place" Veronica- "hold on there tiger, how do I know you don't have a girlfriend"

Archie- "you can trust me, I don't have a girlfriend"

Veronica- "alright tough guy" I pulled out a pen I had and wrote down my number on napkin. Veronica- "here, and I don't do this very often." I handed it to him before gathering my stuff and heading back to my apartment

Betty

I was on the train back to Riverdale and I couldn't stop thinking about the girl I saw in the elevator. She had beautiful black hair the most amazing body I had ever seen. Of course I had thought of girls like that because who hasn't but there was something about this particular girl. She just seemed different but there was no way I would ever see her again

I made it back to my small town and immediately went home to chaos. Polly was running around trying to help her two kids and mom was just sitting on the couch just staring into oblivion. The girls were running around screaming as I heard my dad's machines from upstairs

Betty- "hey guys" Polly- (pants) "hey.. Be.." I picked up Ruby who was running past me before Polly collapsed on the couch. Polly- "how was New York?" Betty- "it could've been better, how was it here?" Polly- (sighs) "dad had a scare but other than that it was pretty normal" Betty- "what?! Why didn't you text me? I would've come home" Polly- "we didn't want to bother you, and besides nothing actually happened"

I took my bags up to my room before walking into the room my dad was in. We decided on what to do with dad and he said that he just wanted to be home. It had only been a month but it was nice to have him there to talk to

Betty- "hey dad" I closed the door behind me as he turned the tv off that he was watching. I kissed his forehead before grabbing a chair and sitting down beside him. Hal- "hi Betty, how was your trip?" Betty- (sighs) "he's cheating on me dad" Hal- "what? How do you know" Betty- "he's acting weird and I just know him well enough to know he's not interested in me anymore" I put my hand on her cheek as my dad put his hand on my shoulder

Hal- "I'm sorry sweetheart, I know how much you love him" Betty- (sniffles) "I just wish he would break up with me so I wasn't waisting money to go see him, o-or just tell me so we can fix whatever the problem is" Hal- "Betty, I have something for you"

He pointed for me to grab his wallet so I did before sitting back down next to home. He reached in his wallet and started to hand me five hundred dollars but I was so shocked that I didn't move

Hal- "what I want you to do, is go back to Archie and dump him" Betty- "w-what? I can't do that" Hal- "why not? You deserve the world Betty" Betty- (smiles) "thanks dad, but I can't just go see him again" Hal- "you can do anything Betty, I taught you to be strong. So show me the girl who used to beat up boys to protect herself and her friends" Betty- (laughs) "that was one time, but okay, I'll go back to New York and break up with him"
