Betty and I have always been best friends.

She sat beside me, each of us sitting on one end of the couch in my father's trailer. We have ditched Veronica's confirmation party, knowing that it wasn't really our scene. Besides, since I've become a Southside Serpent, Betty and I have been drifting farther apart. We rarely get the chance to hang out, I barely get to see her even if we now went to the same school again. It's like she's avoiding me.

"So, you and Toni?"She asked, her voice soft as she fiddled with her fingers and the hem of her dress. She was looking down at her fingers, her head hung low. I turned my head slightly to look at her, taking a deep breath. "No."I honestly replied. "You and Reggie?"I couldn't help but notice how close she and Reggie were getting, and if I wasn't thinking better, I would've told her I was jealous.

But Betty shook her head. "No."She simply replied, and I nodded my head, turning my head back down, looking down at my hands. "Okay."I muttered, feeling a wave of relief wash over me. I'd be damned if they had something going on between them, if Reggie got a chance with her and I didn't because I was too scared to try.

Truth is, I love Betty.

I have been ever since I met her.

Betty's hair was out of her quintessential ponytail, her blonde locks in delicate curls, framing her face. She was wearing a new pink dress, one that she bought to celebrate Veronica's confirmation. If Veronic hadn't required us to wear something very fancy, I wouldn't have gone out of my way to get myself a fancy suit. Plus, even if Veronica did tell us to wear some fancy clothes, I wouldn't have listened to her.

But one reason I got myself one was because I wanted to impress Betty.

Maybe she's impressed, maybe she isn't. Either way, I'll never get to know.

"You've been spending a lot of time with Toni."Betty spoke, almost sounding like she was hurt. "I thought you liked her, and people have been saying that you two were a thing."Bullshît.

I let out a low chuckle. "How can you believe them, Betty? Since when did you believe what they say?"I asked.

"Since you've been avoiding me to go hang out with Toni."Betty replied immediately, looking at me with watery eyes. "Since you haven't been answering my calls, or my texts because you're always 'doing stuff' with Toni. Since you've been spending more time with Toni than you are with me."

"You're the only one who doesn't see, Betty."I spoke. "The only one who doesn't see."I repeated, realizing it was time for me to admit everything I've felt for her, to confess everything. If we're gonna avoid each other more in the future, then might as well exchange good words so that if it will be the last words I tell her, then at least they were good.

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?"She asked.

"I like you, Betty."I admitted. "Hell, I'm in love with you! For the longest time I've been there for you, been holding you whenever you cried, been supporting you in everything you did, but you never noticed me. I didn't complain then, because how could you even love me back? How could someone so perfect even have feelings for someone like me? How can a man so brokena and so dämn stupid deserve a girl like you?"

Betty was silent, thinking of what she was going to say as she replayed my words over and over again in her head. "We'rr not as different as you think, Jughead."She spoke through gritted teeth. "Didn't you ever stop to think that maybe I'm just as broken as you are? If not, well I am! You accuse me of being blind of your feelings towards you, but do you think I'll be hurt so much of your relationship with Toni if I didn't like you?"

Betty wiped her tears from her eyes, crossing her arms over her chest. "You never noticed it either—I've been in love with you for as long as I could remember."How did I not see it?

Maybe I was too busy being with Toni.

Maybe I was too buys thinking that Betty would never love me.

Maybe I was too busy being jelous of Betty and Reggie.

"I should probably start heading home."Betty spoke, sniffing back a few more tears, wiping her eyes dry. She looked around, setting her eyes on anything other than me.

"Or you could stay."I blurted out, looking at her. She turned to look at me, like she was debating whether or not she should stay. I was witing for her to speak, but when she didn't, I placed my hand on hers, grazing my fingers ove rher skin. "Stay."I begged, and our eyes locked together.

And then the impossible became possible.

Betty moved, closer to me, brushing her lips against mine. Her hands cupped my face, and mine were cupping her cheeks softly. She pressed her lips harder on mine and straddled me, kissing me deeper. My hands left her cheeks and went around her, searching for the zipper of her dress, pulling it down once I found it, ripping her dress off of her, pulling it down to her waist, leaving her in her bra.

My lips left her and kissed along her jawline, down to her neck and to her collarbones. My lips trailed kisses down to the top of her breasts, my hands on her back, pressing her body closer to me. I could hear her moan softly, her breath labored.

"Wait, wait, I want to say something."She gasped softly, her arms loose around my neck. "What?"I asked, pressing more kisses onto her skin. "What is it?"I asked, pulling away to look up at her. Our gazes locked, and I could see passiona nd lust burning in her beautiful, innocent eyes. "Nothing."She said.

"I just...I want you. I want all of you...tonight."She whispered, unbuttoning my shirt, keeping her gaze on mine.

Our lips met once again.

Just pausing my life real quick to remind you that Bughead had sex.
