It's Always Being You

18-Broken

Betty's POV
I could feel my self slowly breaking and shattering to pieces as I saw the sight in front of me. Archie's eyes met mine with the most amount of regret and sadness spread across his face that I had ever seen while his eyes slowly filled with tears. I quickly turned on my feet and ran out of the garage while the tears slowly ran down my face falling into my dress as I ran through the yard.
"Betty. Betty wait!" I heard Archie yell as he followed me out of the garage chasing me throughout the yard. I quickly made it inside the house immediately meeting Veronica's eyes as the smile on her face slower faltered after seeing me quickly run past her with tears all over my face. I could here Archie's footsteps chasing after me as I exited out of the house and began running towards my house, I could tell that he was getting closer to me as his footsteps got louder.
"Betty! Betty please! Betty stop!" He yelled as I could feel his footsteps coming in 5 centimetres behind mine before he grabbed my arm and swung me around just as we reached the middle of the pathway leading to my front door. As my body turned my arms slightly moved up to Archie's chest shoving him back lightly making him stumble a few steps before taking another step forward towards me. I could see the tears welling up in his eyes and the regret and sorrow that grew on his face as he looked directly at me as every second past.
"No! No! Just no!" I quivered out my lips as more tears began falling while I took a step away from Archie. Though we 30 centimetres apart I could still feel his breath lightly tickling my neck, a sensation that I used to love was now one that broke me inside.
"You know Archie, I thought this was real. That we would last, I'm not sure how long but I figured we were both in for the long haul but I was wrong. I was just someone you choose to have until someone better came along. Well you got what you wanted so go be with Haley." I yelled while gesturing my hands in all different directions as my body slowly grew tense. I could see Archies figure trembling as we stood out in the cold. His face looked as though someone had ripped him apart and as much as it hurt to see him that way I couldn't care less.
"Betty that's not how it was. Haley kissed me you have to believe that. Can we please just talk about this?" Archie pleaded as he gestured his hands in the space between us before stepping closer towards me. As much as I wanted to listen to him, I was to hurt on the inside that all I wanted was to be away from him.
"No Archie. There's nothing to talk about. I thought you would never do this to me, I never thought that you would break me like this and I hate you so much for it. I've got nothing to say to you." I yelled before changing my voice into a quivering tone as my lips trembled and a stray tear slid down my cheek. I could see a tear escaping Archie's eye as he clenched his jaw tightly before moving his gaze away while wiping the tears away before returning his heartbroken gaze to mine.
"Please Betty just let me explain. She kissed me catching me off guard, I didn't initiate or anything. It meant nothing to me. I love you more than anything in this world." He explained as he slowly moved his large hands placing them on the side of my arms coming closer to me before I quickly squirmed out of his hold and pushed him back. I could see the hurt on his face growing bigger as I moved away from him.
"Yeah, well it means something to me. Goodbye Archie." I stated before turning on my heels and walking up the remainder of my path to the front door. I couldn't look back, I restrained every part of me ensuring that I wouldn't turn around and look at the boy I love just shattered to a million pieces.

Archie's POV
I didn't want to watch her walk away but I knew that if I chased after her I'd regret it later. The emotions running through my body is endless, all I can feel is frustration, Anger, Regret, pain and sadness. I couldn't believe that I could be so stupid, I saw the signs earlier but I didn't think anything of them and now I've lost the most important person in life. I quickly turned around and balled my fist before clashing it against the metal banister creating an instant swelling and bruising in my hand with several cuts. All these thoughts swam through my mind with the combination of pain to the point where it all became to much making me lose my balance slightly where I'd slowly fallen back onto Betty's front lawn with my knees brought up 10 centimetres away from my chest as my elbows rested on them as my arms crossed over one another balancing on my knees while my face rested on my arms.
