I felt a someone shake my shoulder, I groaned, rolling to my side. I felt another shake on my shoulder, "Go away." I mumbled. Then I realized that I lived alone.
I sat up, immediately, I lay back down when I see that it's only Betty. "How did you even get in here?" I said, covering my face.
"Happy birthday." she said, sitting on my bed. I slowly removed the pillow off my face, staring at her. "It's your first birthday ever since... I-I just thought you needed someone." Betty said, "I-I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned it." she stuttered. "It's fine, Betty. Thanks." I said, trying to smile.
"Well" she cleared her throat. "Just go downstairs, I have a little something for you. Actually I've been waiting for a while, it's noon for Christ's sake." she said, shoving my shoulder. "I love sleep a little too much." (sometimes it all gets a little too much, but you gotta realize that soon the fog will clear up. i love shawn mendes, bye)
She laughed, "I'll be down in a while." she nodded leaving the door.
I pull my phone out of it's charger, it came to life and on my background it was a picture of Jughead and I in the hospital, it was a stolen shot, we were holding each other's hand while he was kissing my forehead. I smiled sadly, tears pooling in my eyes, it was the last time I've ever seen him.

flashback
I turned the doorknob, opening the door, I was greeted with Jughead, furiously typing on his laptop, though he was sick, he still continued to do what he loved. (he did you, jkjkjkjkjk)
He looked up, smiling, "Hey, Love." he greeted, tugging his beanie down, covering his hairless head. He was always shy about it, and refused to face anyone without his beanie, no matter how much I say that I love him, with or without hair.
"Hey, Jug. I got you some fruits." I said, lifting the basket, I placed it on the table next to him. "I heard that it helps." I smiled, sitting on the side of the bed, next to him. He intertwined our fingers.
"Thanks, I got you something as well." he said, staring at me. I furrowed my brows, "You didn't have to get me anything, Jug—"
"No, I wanted to, don't think about it." he reassures, he shuts his laptop and reaches for something on the other side of the bed, before turning to me. I look at what he's holding in his hands, it was a tiny blue velvet box. He opens it and there was a ring, it was shaped as an infinity sign, with tiny diamonds around it. "Jug—"
"It's a promise ring." he interrupted, clutching onto my hands for his dear life. "A-And I promise for forever, even for when I'm gone—"
This time I interrupted him, tears already forming around my eyes. "Baby, don't say that." I said, caressing his left cheek.
"Y/N, I have stage four colon cancer, even I know I won't last for long." I opened my mouth to interrupt him, but he gently placed a finger on my lips. "Y/N, wherever I may go. If I stay. If I don't. If I go to heaven. If I go to hell. I just want you to know that my heart belongs to you. It will always be yours." I let out a sob, burying my face in his neck, he wrapped his arms around me, stroking my hair.
"And if I don't make it, I want you to move on, be happy." he said. "But promise me one thing."
I pulled away to make eye contact, "Anything." I said, wiping my eyes
"Don't forget me"
