My Boyfriend's Lover (A Beronica Story)

Chapter 6: Feelings

A few weeks later

Betty

I was eating dinner alone again since Veronica was out with Archie again. It was getting lonely mainly because it was ever night now. She said they weren't going to be out late so I decided to wait for her. It was almost nine so I just turned on the tv and waited a couple more hours.I was starting to get a little worried but around midnight she finally came home with tears in her eyes and extremely messy hair.

Betty- "Ve? W-What happened?" Veronica- (sniffles) "n-nothing" Betty- "no something happened, what was it?" Veronica- "I-It's stupid, I'm sorry" she tried to push by me but I grabbed her hand. Betty- (softly) "I promise I won't think it's stupid" she looked at me as I gave her a small smile. Veronica- (tears up) "you- you won't? Promise"

I nodded as she led me over to the couch and took my hands in hers. Veronica- "I-I can't go out with Archie anymore" Betty- "why not, did he try something" Veronica- "be asked me back to his place, and I-I said no" Betty- "did he force you to do anything?" Veronica- "oh, no not at all. He was mad but he just left. I just didn't know why I said no" Betty- "did you figure it out on the way home?" Veronica- (smiles) "I-I did actually" Betty- "yeah?" Veronica- "I realized that I didn't want to be away from you, especially with him"

I was shocked I didn't know how to react so I just took my hands back as her smile dropped

Veronica- "I-I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that" she got up and went to her room and I just sat there. I knew that I should've followed her but I also thought she wanted to space. I was stupid to think that but I didn't know what else to do

I got into my pyjamas before watching a movie and falling asleep. Before I did though, I started crying heavy silent tears. I had fucked up, and I had no idea how to fix the problem I had created, but then I had heard a loud crash coming from Veronica's room

Veronica

I was sitting on my bed just crying silently. I had fucked up and I didn't know what to do. I stupidly told her that I liked her.. well sorta. She knew that I liked her, and when she didn't say anything back.. my heart sunk into my stomach before shattering into pieces on the floor. I looked at myself in my vanity mirror. I don't know how long I was there but I knew it was awhile. After I finally snapped out of my trance, I took my heel off my foot and threw it at the mirror

It shattered almost immediately before I started crying again. I got up and got undressed before just collapsing in bed. I was so tried and my eyes hurt so bad from crying.

It was only around three in the morning when I woke up to the sound of my door opening and some crawling into bed with me

Betty

I laid awake almost half the night, sure I was able to fall asleep in short bursts but it was never for more than half an hour, I was just left alone with my thoughts and that was a dangerous pastime. I stared at the ceiling when all of a sudden, something clicked

There was nothing stopping me from going into her room and telling her how I feel. There just wasn't, except for myself. I sat up in bed and only hesitated for second getting up and walking to her door. I knocked softly before opening it and quietly tipped toed towards her bed. I lifted the comforter before tucking myself in

Veronica- (softly) "B-Betty?" Betty- (in tears) "I'm so sorry" she immediately turned over and grabbed me. I didn't know when I started crying but I knew it hurt her to hear me. Veronica- (softly) "no, you have nothing to apologize for"

She held me tightly as I cried into her shoulder. She rubbed my back and was there for me like no one else had before. Betty- (sniffles) "Ve, can we talk.. please" she sighed before nodding slightly. We were both tired but we also really wanted to have this talk. She let go of me before standing up and turning on the light. I sat up and crossed my legs as she came over and sat across from me

Veronica- (softly) "I'm guessing you want to start" Betty- "I'm sorry I didn't say anything, you just surprised me" Veronica- "Be, I should've kept that to myself. On top of everything that you've got going on I shouldn't have put that on you as well" Betty- "no, Ve. That's what I'm saying. I think I have feelings for you" Veronica- "think? Or know." I smiled and took her hands. Betty- "I know. I know I have feelings for you"

She smiled back at me before pulling me into her arms. She had me as close as she possibly could as I smiled and started tearing up again. Veronica- (sniffles) "I have feelings for you too Betty, I have since I saw you in the coffee shop" I sat up and looked into her eyes before cupping her cheek. Betty- (sniffles) "so have I"

I leaned in and kissed me. It felt like there were fireworks going off around the room and I was the most happy I had been in a very long time

Betty- (sniffles) "I'm still sorry I didn't say anything before" Veronica- (sniffles) "that doesn't matter anymore, I have you. But why are you still crying" Betty- (laughs) "why are you still crying?" Veronica- "good point. I guess we just have a lot of feelings that want to come out all at the same time" Betty- "you got that right"

She turned off the light before getting back in bed for the rest of the night and it was probably the best sleep either of us had ever had.
