Chapter 22

*Your POV*
She leaves and I close the door. I let all my tears fall that were held back from earlier. I turn around, and lean against the door. I start crying more as I slide down. I eventually fall all the way down, and sob..

My eyes slowly open, and my body feels really sore. Then I remember everything from yesterday and last night..including me sleeping against my door...I slowly stand up and grunt from my back pain. I check my phone, and it's 10:49. There's also a text from Archie, Betty, Veronica, and even Toni.

Archie😹:
Hey, just seeing how you're doing. Call me when you can?

Betty🙃:
Just checking in. How are you doing?

Veronica🖤💞:
I heard what happened, I'm so sorry, girl. Break-ups are honestly the worst...Talk to me when you can.

Toni🐍🐲💖:
Break-ups suck. I'm here if you need.

I don't feel like talking to anyone. Not right now anyway. I put my phone down, and go into my bathroom. I could use a shower. Maybe it'll help a little at least. I turn the shower on and strip my clothes off. I get in, and the water is just the right temperature. Normally, I take two to three-minute showers, but I think I was in there for a good hour. Just crying, and thinking. God, I'm such a weak person for letting this break up get to me like this. But I can't help it. I thought that Jughead was my person. I get out and change into some sweatpants and a sweatshirt.

My phone starts ringing, and I look to see who it is. It's Cheryl...I groan for a second and think about answering it. After a couple more rings, I pick up. "Cheryl? What is it?" I say, tiredly.

"I..heard about you and Jughead. Archie told me."

I sigh, "Yeah...Can you come over?"

"I'm already here." She knocks on the door. I get up, and open the door. She's there, with some take-out from Pop's. "Hey.."

My eyes start to water. "Hi." She walks in, and set the food on the table. She turns back to me, and pulls me in for a hug. I start crying into he shoulder. She circles my back. We stand there for a couple more seconds, and then she leads me over to my bed. We both sit on it, across from each other. My legs are crossed.

"So, tell me what happened. So I can help."

I sniff, "So," I nod, "he made Betty tell me. She said that he thought that I was going to get hurt by the Serpents if we were still together. Which, I think is really stupid, because I don't care what happens to me."

"You should. I don't want you getting hurt, either. You're my friend," she sighs, "I know that you really loved him."

"I still do. But I don't know what to do anymore." I look over at the food on the coffee table and take it. "Thanks for this, by the way." I take out a hamburger. I give one to her, and then take another for myself. I start eating. "I haven't eaten in like 15 hours." I chuckle. We sit there and talk about all sorts of things. We watch some funny movies, too. She told me a little bit of what's going on in her life, and I did to her, too. Tonight's supposed to be some sort of fun party for everyone that she wants to go to. I think that her family, Veronica's, and Nick's are all going to be there. She didn't give me much detail on it, but that's okay.

After about four hours or so, she is about to leave. "Well, have fun at your party tonight." I say.

"Thanks. And, I hope that this made you feel better."

"It definitely did. Thank you, Cheryl." We hug, and she leaves.

I close my door and turn around. I honestly am feeling a little better. I get out my phone and start texting everyone back.
