Archie Andrews (Riverdale)

Part 3*

" I was going to eat that Veronica."

"Well now you are not Archiekins"

She winked at him and he laugh. It was weird being here with them again, eating lunch and talking like we used to do. Was really good but strange at the same time. Betty was to focus on Jughead, Veronica was to focus on stealing food from all of us. Archie...well he was trying his best to avoid looking  in front, or in other words, at me. Which I may say...he was really good at. Now I...I was horrible at it, I would always find myself staring at him. I feel left out of the group and I know that's my fault. I was the one who stepped away in first place. I gave my food to Ronnie and smile lightly receiving a confused look from her.

"What are you doing? Aren't you going to eat that? Did you touc it at all?

"I'm not really hungry and I can see you are so...be my guest."

"You need to eat."

That was the first time I heard him speaking directly at me. I looked at him a little shocked and opened my mouth to respond but nothing came out, was like if my voice got away, my throat was dry, every muscle of my body was tense just by the sound of his voice. I swallowed and picked my bag. I started walking away ignoring him at all. He couldn't tell me what to do. He lost that right.

"Emma I'm serious you need to eat. You haven't touched your food. You can't just stay without eating all day."

" Shut the fuck up Archie! Don't you fucking tell me what to do!"

I turn around to look at him furious. Who the hell he think he is? He's worried now? After everything he said he is now telling me that I need to eat? He's trying to show them he cares about me? I could feel all eyes on us. Betty was in shock, she knew what happen, how I was feeling, and especially how I felt after all that. Jug was frozen, holding his burger next to his open mouth like if he was about to bite it but instead was just staring at us. Veronica who didn't knew about our "little" fight was just standing with confusion all over her face.My vanes were fuming, my heart was beating fast, my face was getting hotter and I was starting to get angrier second by second. The way he spoke to me, the tone on his voice, the way those words came out from his mouth harsh and cold made my rage rise. If I could I would punch him hard.

"Don't you talk to me like that! I was just trying to be friendly and you are just be a b...."

"Being what? Being what Archie? Say it! Call me a bitch again! Go ahead! Isn't that what I am? A stupid bitch?! Wasn't that what you called me the last time I tried to be "friendly" with you? That I was being a bitch like I always am?! Say it!"

He stood there in front of me closer than I expected. Eyes wide open and mouth straight in a line, face as red as his hair and hands closed in fists. I could see the rage in his eyes, I could feel his hot breath on my face. One more step and there would be no space between us, but that didn't stopped him for stepping closer to me collapsing our bodies and looking down at me. Now he was taller, even with my high heels he was taller than me and that made me mad. I was feeling smaller and I know he was loving it. His eyes were locked on mines, his heart was beating so fast I could swear it would fly out his chest right to the corner of the room . A pair of hands grabbed my wrists and pulled me even closer to him, his head moved closer to mine and our lips were only a few inches apart from each other, his hot breath mixed with mine and my knees got weaker.

" A bitch! You're being a bitch just like in that day yes! But for your disgust....that's not what I think of you...not even close."

"What am I then?"

"I think you are just too stubborn to give up your pride. You are hurting and because of that you fake this hate for me. I know what I said that day and I am sorry for every single word...but you can't give up your stupid pride and rage to listen to the others and then you  go to hurtful bitch mode. That's what you are Emma....a stubborn proud girl that hides herself, her feelings to prevent getting hurt.....and I'm sorry for being the one who hurted you."
