The Story Of Veronica Lodge

Chapter 10

Veronica Lodge's POV

I woke up to a red headed boy sleeping next to me. Oh Archiekins, if only you'd understand. Daddy's gone.

"How are you holding up?" Archie said while pulling me closer to him.

"He's actually gone, Archiekins." I say.

"Archiekins? That's new."

"I said that out loud?"

     "It's ok Ronnikins." He winked.

     I grabbed his hand and pulled him downstairs. Then I brought him outside, took his jacket and sat on it.

     "This was my favorite time with you." I said.

     "When we watched the stars?" He asked.

     "When you kissed me. And took my mind off daddy. I miss him." I explain, as a bury my face in his chest.

     "Lets have a little get together. You, me, Betty, and Juggie. How about it?" He says.

     "But Betty and Jug aren't really...close anymore." I explain.

     "We can play match maker." He suggests.

------------------------------------------------------

     Archie and I get ready upstairs, and wait for Betty and Juggie.

     "Did you ever read my diary?" I ask.

     "Yeah..." He replied.

     I smile, nervously. I gesture for us to go downstairs.  He follows me. I open the front door to see Betty and Juggie "confronting" each other.

     "Hey Betty...why are you here?" Juggie asks.

     "Hey Jug...I'm probably here for the same reason as you. Oh by the way, how's Cheryl?" Betty glares.

     "Hello everybody! Welcome to the Archiekins and Ronnikins estate." Archie adds.

     We all laugh and have a good time. I miss being able to hang out with all my friends at once, and I liked it. I decided since Betty and Juggie were getting closer, let's just take a sneak peak on their social life.

     "Excuse me, I'm going to use the restroom." I say.

     While I'm walking to the "restroom" I grab Betty's phone. I unlock it and I can't believe what's before my eyes. Pure gold.

Betty: hey <3

Juggie: heyo ;)

Betty: at the meet up tonight... pretend you hate me.

Juggie: you do the same

     UMMM WHAT THE ACTUALLY HELL.

    "Elizabeth Cooper! Get over here now!" I yell.

     "What's wrong V?" She asks.

     I show her the texts. My facial expression says everything. Liar. She tries to hug me but I back away. Breathe Ronnie.

     "I do not appreciate you going behind my back like this. You know I would be happy for you and Juggie. If you want him, I want you to have him. Please don't hide anymore from me." I pleaded.

    "I'm sorry V, I was scared you'd be mad. I love him and he loves me. It's like you and arch-" she says.

     "There is nothing going on between me and Archie! You're forgiven. I love you Betty and I want you to happy." I confirm.

     "Don't lie to her, Ronnikins. We are something." Archie's words made me smile.

     "Um thanks for understanding guys." Juggie laughed.

     "Group hug?" I ask.

     "Group hug." All three of them said.

     We hugged everything out and could now walk hand in hand throughout the halls with one another. We didn't have to be a secret. None of us did. Daddy would want me to be happy. And I am.

     Betty and Juggie left early, together of course. Oh and Archie. Archie stayed with me. Isn't that what boyfriends do?

     "Thank you Archie. For being a part of my story. Without you, without Riverdale, I'd be nothing. Just another "picture perfect" girl. But the problem is I'm not perfect Archie. I'm far from it. And you see that. But you love me, for me. You make me smile. You take my mind off my family issues. And I would appreciate if you would say a few words at daddy's funeral?" I explain.

     "Oh course Ron. Anything for you. If that's what makes you happy." He replied, excitedly.

     "I love you Archie." I grin.

     "Ronnie, look..."
