I sit on my bed, crying my eyes out. Why? Everything is such a mess right now. I've just gone and made it worse...

"I have this dream of us being a power couple, maybe even just a couple. Is that so hard to believe?"

...All I ever wanted was to to make everyone else happy, and the one time I tried to do something for myself, it all came crashing down...

"Betty, I just don't think about you in that way..."

...And if I had known my heart would be so broken, I would never have even tried to make it work...

"I'm asking you now if you love me, Archie."

...It was like a never ending circle of my feelings being forgotten about and thrown to the curb...

"Of course I love you, Betty. But I can't give you the answer you want."

...And now I'm so broken, it takes everything just to get up. How can live like this?

Author's note: This is probably the shortest part I'll ever do, but it's just to give a background and so that you have an idea of how Betty is feeling.
