New Pain

"So... you'll live with me?" Betty sat down on the couch next to Veronica, both freshly washed and dressed. "I'm still not sure." Veronica took Betty's hand. "Look, we don't have to get back together. We don't ever have to talk about us in that way again. It would break my heart, but you're still my best friend. I'd do anything to help you." Betty pulled Veronica closer. "Look I'm sorry about what I said." Veronica snorted, "Which part?" Betty looked at the ground sheepishly. "All of it." Veronica put her other hand on Betty's thigh, rubbing her leg slowly. "It's okay. I'm sorry for everything, too." Betty's blue eyes looked into Veronica's brown ones. "I love you, Veronica." Veronica's eyes widened. "Always have, always will." Veronica reached out to touch Betty's face, stroking her cheek lightly. "I never thought I'd hear that again." Betty leaned in and closed the space between them. Veronica's hands brushed through Betty's golden hair. She moved them lower, tracing Betty's curves lightly. Betty pushed Veronica down onto the couch, straddling her. Veronica giggled, "You're eager, huh?" Betty kissed Veronica until their lips were swollen. Then she whispered in Veronica's ear, "And you're not?" Veronica shivered, and flipped their positions so she was on top. "No you got me all wrong. I'm the most eager here." She pressed a kiss to Betty's neck. Betty moaned, a sound Veronica wanted to hear eternally. Betty chuckled dryly, "Oh yeah? Show me then." Veronica smirked, and ripped off Betty's shirt. Betty looked shocked for a moment, before doing the same to Veronica and smiling. They then both took off their pants, now in only their underwear. "I guess we're both pretty eager, hu—" Veronica started, but Betty crashed their lips together again. After the heated kiss, Veronica began to move lower down Betty's body, kissing as she went. Veronica could hear her heart pounding in her ears. Betty could feel her brain slipping into some kind of tranquil state. Veronica was about to reach the inside of Betty's thighs when they heard a knock at the door. "Shit!" Veronica nearly screamed as she fell of the couch, hitting her head on the coffee table. Betty stood up and offered a hand to Veronica, who accepted it gratefully. "Quick, put your clothes on." Veronica rubbed her head and nodded. The knock came again. "One second!" Veronica yelled. "Hurry up!" Oh shit. Was that—? "Cheryl." Betty grumbled. "Betty, hide." Veronica whispered. Betty finished putting her clothes on and scrambled over to a nearby closet. Veronica made sure Betty was inside of it before opening the door to Cheryl. The cheek that Betty had slapped was now extremely red and swollen. Even so, Cheryl smiled evilly through the pain. "Hello Veronica." Veronica put her hands on her hips. "Cut to the chase, Cheryl. What do you want?" Cheryl strutted inside the house, uninvited of course. "Well, a little birdie told me you are harboring a certain wanted criminal." "If you're referring to Betty, no I don't know where she is. And she's not a criminal." "Whatever." Cheryl began to search around the house. Veronica ran after her. "Hey! You can't just come in here and look around. It's not a museum. And if I'm not mistaken, you don't have a warrant. So get the hell out, you're not welcome here." Cheryl laughed, "Okay okay, I'm leaving." She walked out the door before whirling around again. "And hey, since it seems as though your precious Betty has abandoned you, if you feel like hooking up again." She made the "call me" hand motion and winked. Veronica slammed the door shut. "Betty? You can come out." Betty opened the closet door. "God! Who does she think she is?" Betty paced around the room. Veronica sat down on the couch. "So she really is looking for you." "Of course she is. How am I gonna get an education if I can't go back to school? What do I do?" Veronica sat quiet for a while. "I have an idea." Betty sat down next to her. "What?" "I could tell her I know where you are. Then I'll ask her if we hook up again will she let you go free, no suspension and no expulsion." Betty slammed her hand down onto the coffee table. "NO." Veronica quickly took Betty's hand and held it tight. "We don't need another injury, B." "You're NOT going to make out with her again." "I don't see any other way." "Ill just... move to another state or something. Yeah, I'll go to a different school." "Betty, you know that wouldn't work." "Why not?" "Your whole life is here. I'm here." "You could come with me!" "Betty..." "Veronica..." "You have to let me do this Betty. It won't mean anything. Not to me. I'll be thinking of you the whole time." "But what if..." Betty trailed off. "What? What is it?" Betty sighed, "What if you decide you like her better, and you leave me?" Veronica grabbed Betty's shoulders and kissed her, deep and meaningful. "How could you ever think that? I love you, Betty Cooper." Betty smiled, "And I love you, Veronica Lodge."
