Jughead stood there frozen not knowing what to do.

"Juggie you going to let us in?"Betty asked.

"Um yeah"Jughead said"come on in Betty and Veronica" Jughead tried his best not to try so obvious that someone else was in the apartment with him and Betty and Veronica knew what was up.

While in the other room when Archie heard Jughead say Veronica's name he bolted up and thought about what to do... option 1 go to the door and get viciously yelled at by Veronica and maybe Betty or option 2 go hide like a scared little girl and don't be a dumbass.... Well he chose option 2 Archie ran into the nearest room he could fine and shut the door quietly while Betty and Veronica pushed Jughead aside and walked into his apartment.

"Sure come on in"Jughead said sighing as he thought Archie would be dumb enough to stay in the living room but to his surprise he wasn't there and then they sat down"so where were you guys?".

"Well we went shopping and got some stuff"Betty said smiling at Jughead.

"By stuff she means lingerie for when you guys finally wed"Veronica said smiling at the two love birds, in the other room Archie was smiling hearing Veronica talk, it was like hearing the voice of a angel for him but soon after his smile turned into a frown when he heard Veronica talk again, Veronica got a text on her phone and took it out and read it to herself and smiled.

"Well if you would excuse me I have to go and meet my mysterious lover boy somewhere romantic"Veronica said.

"When are you gonna tell us who this mysterious lover boy is V"Betty said curious.

"When the time comes after senior year B"Veronica said while Jughead said there quite that Archie was hearing all of this"what's the matter Jughead you look like I killed your dog?".

"It's nothing Veronica"Jughead said.

"Whatever you say"Veronica said getting up and leaving the apartment. Betty then got up and started to go into the kitchen when she hit a duffle bag, she picked it up curiously and turned around to face Jughead.

"Jug what's this?"Betty said making Jughead turn around and seeing that Archie left his duffle bag out on the floor.

"Oh that's mine Betty I was planning to go visit my mom this weekend"Jughead said thinking of the fastest excuse he could think of but Betty is not dumb.

"Jug you haven't seen your mom since freshman year"Betty said making Jughead sigh.

"Fine Betty you got me"Jughead said"dude come on out". Betty was afraid of who was in the apartment with them but when she turned around and heard the door to the bathroom open she was shocked who came out.

"Arc...Archie"Betty said in disbelief"how are you here?".

"Hi Betty"Archie said smiling.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hi Betty"Archie said smiling.

"What are you doing here?"Betty asked her once best friend.

"I'm back"Archie said smiling"for good" Betty then gave him a hug Which he gladly accepted.

"So.... I'm guessing you heard all that?"Betty asked him.

"Unfortunately I did"Archie said"but don't worry I'm planning on fighting for her".

"Arch that's cute and all....but Veronica hates you now"Betty said looking down at the floor.

"Betty don't remind me, Jughead already filled me in on what she did"Archie said sitting down on the couch"look I know what I did was messed up and all.... but I had to leave and I told I was coming back for her".

"So Archie don't sit here and complain to us about her go and win her back"Jughead said.

"Your right"Archie said getting up from the couch"wait where is she?".

"Well maybe you should wait until later"Betty said.

"Yeah I guess I could wait"Archie said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's been a couple hours since the three musketeers talked in Jughead's living room and Archie was getting nervous as Betty just got off the phone with Veronica.

"So?"Archie asked Betty.

"She is heading back to her apartment now"Betty said"her mom is out of town on a business trip so she's there by her self".

"Thanks Betty"Archie said"I appreciate it".

"No problem arch"Betty said"now go win her back".

Archie then drove over to Veronica's apartment, Archie got out of his car and went inside and went to Veronica's door. He stood there thinking about what she might do when she sees him but then Archie grew his courage and knocked on the door waiting for his one true love to answer it.

"Just a minute"Veronica said coming from inside the apartment. Archie stood there thinking what he was going to say to her maybe that he's sorry and.... then the door opened and Veronica looked frozen looking at Archie.

"Hey Ronnie"Archie said softly"can we talk".

"Archie what are you doing here?"Veronica asked her once former boyfriend.

"I'm here to talk to you"Archie said"So can I come in".

"I think whatever you have to say can be said from out here"Veronica said Coldly, Archie was shocked that Veronica said that but he ignored it and carried on.

"Look Veronica I know what I did was messed up...but"Archie was then cut off by Veronica.

"No Archie! It wasn't just messed up it was a cowardly move!"Veronica said screaming at him.

"Veronica look I'm sorry"Archie said"I'm sorry that I hurt you and that I lied to you".

"Well sorry isn't going to bring back our relationship"Veronica said"I was mad Archie that you didn't even bother to call me after you left! Two years Archie, two! God damn years I waited for you!". Archie stood there sheepishly hearing her scream at him like that.

"Veronica! Look you read my letter you saw what I wrote down to you"Archie said"I said that I was coming back for you".

"Oh that's another thing your letter"Veronica said"where do you have the nerve to leave a letter to your ex-girlfriend!".

"Veronica look i know that your hurting... but can you find a way to forgive me?"Archie asked her.

"No Archie I don't know if I can"Veronica said.

"Why not I forgave you for what you did with Nick?"Archie said"I forgave you for cheating on me with your ex-boyfriend".

"And you know what, Archie I loved you for your such kindness for that but, now your using it as a way to make me feel terrible"Veronica said"look Archie I think you should just leave".

"I'm going to fight for you Veronica, I'm going to make you fall in love with the same person you did two years ago, I promise"Archie said softly".

"Goodbye, Archie"Veronica said shutting the door to the boy she once loved.
