Sacrifices // Bughead fanfic

-Chapter Two-

[Betty's POV]

     I slowly close the front door with hesitation. Since I couldn't verbally say goodbye, I decided to walk past some of my closest friends' houses and reminisce on good, old memories. Besides, I have a lot of time left. My first stop was the one closest to me. My childhood friend, Archie Andrews. I remember our adventures along with Jughead. I remember tutoring him when we were younger.

Ah, the good times.

     My next stop was at Kevin's place. I was actually pretty scared considering his dad is the sheriff. I just stood there, staring at their household. I remember gossiping about the latest news at school with Kev. He was the best gay best friend anyone could ask for. Moving on, I went to Veronica's apartment. I've known her for just a year, but it seemed like she's been my best friend for years. We just clicked. I'll never forget the times when she defended me and made me feel better. Suddenly, I had the urge to walk past Thornhill. I may hate that family at times, but Cheryl's actually a pretty kind person at times. We've actually had good conversations before. Standing in front of Thornhill's gates gave me the creeps. The vibes in that place were not pleasant. I looked around, making myself more creeped out, so my visit there wasn't as long.

     Before going to my last stop, I passed by Pop's. It was our favorite place to hang out in. We would always go there when we need to cheer up or when we want to celebrate something or when we just feel like going. I imagined all of my greatest memories in that diner. Dates with Jug, hangouts with my friends, or just eating with my family. I was tempted to buy something, but I wouldn't have enough time. I still needed to visit Jughead Jones. 

Best for last, am I right?  

     I walked slowly to the back of his trailer. The lights in his room appeared to be open. I guess he's still awake. I hid behind a bush so that he wouldn't notice me if ever. I think I'm going to have to stay here for a long while if I'm gonna be reminiscing on our good memories. We have a ton. I remember our first kiss. Butterflies swarmed my stomach as I thought of that moment. I will forever hold that memory in my heart. I imagined a future with him. A happy one. It breaks my heart knowing it won't happen anymore. Tears stream down my face as I remembered all of the things we did together. Solving Jason's murder brought us so much closer, and I don't and will never regret solving it with him. I'll miss his warm embrace. I'll miss wrapping my arms around him and burying my face against his chest. I'll miss brushing my lips against his. I'll miss intertwining my hand with his. I'll miss his goofy smile. I'll miss his caring eyes. I'll miss him.

     I wipe my tears as I shakily stand back up to get ready to go to the address that was given to me. Well, at least I tried wiping my tears away. I covered my mouth as I cry my eyes out, trying my best not to make a sound. I stare at the light that was kept on in Jughead's room, and a random thought popped in my head.

I wonder what he's doing...

[Jughead's POV]

     I look up from my screen as I check the time. It's twelve-thirty in the morning. I don't quite plan on sleeping. I just don't. I just want to type away on my laptop until the sun comes up. I suddenly received a call from Betty even though we already texted each other goodnight. I smiled widely. I was excited to hear her voice even though we saw each other this morning. My smile quickly turned into a worried frown once I heard her speak. I knew something was up. I knew it with the way she spoke. It was like she saw a ghost, but she was trying her best not to show her fear. I didn't want to believe her excuse for calling me, but I guess I'll ask her tomorrow. She needs rest. I guess I really won't be able to sleep knowing that there's something wrong going on with Betty. I spent most of my night worrying about her as I continued typing my novel.

Wow. This is WAY too short. Whoops. I'm sorry, but I hope it's okay~
