"I can't do this anymore," Jughead mumbled glancing down at Y/N who was laying in his arms, head resting against his chest.

It was the perfect moment... That had to come to an end.

There they could be found laying in the meadow by Y/N's house in the Northside of town... God the serpent was dreading this moment however he knew that it was for the best.

"What do you mean?" She questioned glancing up at him.

"We can't be together anymore," He mumbled staring at her in the eyes, pain clouding his own.

"No Jug-" She started yet stopped as he began to get up, her brain losing the ability to function.

"I can't do this anymore- You have a husband... A family I can't be the one to destroy all that," His hands traveled down his face in utter exhaustion.

"No, you can't do this!" She exclaimed, pulling him back by a firm grasp on the arm… Not wanting the man she loved to leave her.

"You can't really give up all that for one man," He murmured avoiding her iron gaze.

"Please don't do this... I would for you," She tried to reassure him by reaching back out to him although it was too late.

"You have everything I would have ever wanted and I don't want to ruin that for you," He explained back now facing her. "And I won't ruin Sammy's life,"

"You don't have to Jug... He loves you," She explains trying anything for him to come back.

"Say goodbye to Sammy for me," He whispered now fully on his feet.

Sammy was her son... One of the leading reasons why he had to end this... He couldn't get in the way of her family- Her life.

"You can't leave me..." She exclaimed fingers brushing across his cheek as she gripped his jaw trying to get their eyes to meet.

He shoved her away though... This is for the best. He had to convince himself of that- He couldn't get in the way of her life.

Y/N grabs the leather of Jughead's jacket desperately although he doesn't make a move, he closes his eyes brushing fingers furiously through his hair.

"Forget about me Y/N I'm just everything of a bad dream,"

"I love you, Jug," Although soon she came to the realization of what had just escaped her lips there being nothing she could do to change his mind.

"Right back at you,"

The days went on after that, gradually sure, but they went on. Sam could tell that something was wrong with his mother however, he was simply too young to understand… Too young to know what happened to be going on. 

He hadn't seen Jughead in weeks and then those weeks turned into months and then a year passed and things still weren't back to normal. 

It seemed like they would never be back to normal. 

Sammy missed Jughead… He missed him with every small fiber in his body. Even if he hadn't known him for the longest time and even if he barely got to see him… He loved him, he wanted the raven-haired man back.
