Hit Me With Your Best Shot ~ VARCHIE

Chapter 20 ~ You complete and utter ass!

Veronicas POV
I stared into the darkness of my room. I felt nothing but pain. I was so afraid to go to sleep, knowing that in the morning... I would have to face archie.

Startled by a sudden buzz from my phone i sprung from my bed and headed to the bathroom. Gradually, my eyes adjusted to the light, and i flicked the switch pulling my phone off the charger on the wall. Archie had messaged me at half last one. "Whats going on?" Was his first message, "I don't want to talk about it." I replied, bringing the phone into my room and okaying it on my nightstand. "Buzz." I turned over, hoping to fall asleep. "I cant stop thinking about what happened." He messaged again as i picked it up, desperate to see what he was messaging me. "I don't want to talk about it Archie." I sent again. "God, veronica! What do i have to do?!" He replied.

"Leave me alone."

I felt awful, I wanted to fix things with archie more than ever. And without this whole situation i would have. But it was too late now. Archie would hate me.

Quickly, i pulled of the promise ring. And clutched it in my hand. A tear ran down my face, then as i thought even more i started to cry harder. I grabbed my leather jacket... and left.

No. No. Im not like this. If archie and I weren't meant to be... then i needed to get over him. Asap. Maybe, I needed to go back to my roots. I needed to go back to my serpent ways and stop having all these emotions, stop opening up. Relationships were fine. But a future? That was hopeless. I needed to do something. But what?

Archies POV
"Betty, i just... i wasnt to know whats going on." I silently cried a few tears as betty comforted me. "Oh Arch, shes probably just going through a lot right now." I sighed. Betty pulled me closer to her, hugging me tightly. "You just need to let her know your there for her. Tell her how much you miss her. And just... be there." Betty advised. I nodded as she stood. "Ive gotta go to be arch. Ill see you tomorrow?" She whispered. I nodded again, and pulled out my phone again. "I here for you Ronnie. You don't have to talk. You don't have to do anything. But I'm here. And i love you." I typed. But i deleted my lies. "Tap tap tap." I heard a faint knock on the door.

"Veronica?"
"Archie..." She stood in the pouring rain, soaking wet from head to toe. "Archie Im sorry. Im sorry for everything. But we cant be together."
"Whats going on? Talk to me!" I need you to talk to me."
"Archie! I cant have kids!" She shouted. As tears streamed down her face, masked by the rain, i pulled veronica closer to hold her tightly. "Then you can find another way." I whispered. Now I was soaked. "Its okay Ronnie, you cant have kids. But there is always another way." I whispered again.

As we pulled away she smiled, holding her hand in mine. "I love you archie." She pulled a ring out of her pocket, and slid it quickly onto her finger. "I never should have doubted how much you loved me too." She whispered. The sad thing was... I didn't love Veronica anymore. "Im sorry. But i cant." She took a step back and glared at me. "Im sorry?" She repeated. "I... I slept with Betty. Im sorry Veronica... I just-" She stopped me mid sentence, pulling off the promise ring. "God you are a complete and utter ass! You piece of crap!" She screamed pushing me backwards, i went to grab her hands. "No! Don't touch me! Don't ever talk to me again!" She through the ring at me and ran off. My heart sank. I hurt her, and i felt so bad about it.

Heya guys! Sorry this is so short! Thanks for your continued patience. Also, what the hell is archie doing with Betty? Well. Im the writer so I should know. 😂😘❤️ - Doodle
