It was always her
Betty.
Betty.
Betty.
  
She was always on my mind. It was always Betty, I have never liked anyone else. She was on my mind when I woke up in the mornings, before i went to bed.
  
It's not an obsession, I just cared for her, a lot. She cared for me too, she was always there for me: like when my dad became an alcoholic,  when my mom and Jellybean left me and my dad, she would stickup for me when i was bullied as a kid. I am so thankful for her. I just wish she wasn't always so caught up with Archie all the time.

Archie.
  
Archie, Betty and I have always been best friends since we were kids. We still are in fact, but not in that way. Betty has always loved Archie, but Archie has always been so oblivious and would break Betty's heart without even knowing it. Then I would go and comfort Betty, she would feel better, and go back to playing with Archie the next day.

   Betty still likes Archie, the jock of the school, and then there's me, the weirdo. I don't even know why me, Betty ,and Archie are even friends, we are all so different from each other.
————————
   It was the last day of summer before school starts and I have basically just wasted the whole day at Pop's writing, thinking, taking to Pop, and of course eating!

   I totally forgot that Betty told me she was going out tonight with Archie, until
I saw them walk in the door. Thank goodness I was sitting in the far booth down in the corner, so they couldn't see me. God, Betty looks so beautiful tonight. Stop! I can't think that! They went and sat down in our usual booth with Archie facing me, he still didn't see me, great! Everything looked like it was going well, Betty's curly ponytail would bounce ever so often. I could just imagine Betty's smile, her perfectly white teeth, her glossy lips, and her slightly blushed cheeks.
  
   The bell rang, indicating someone had just walked in. A raven haired girl, with lots of makeup, a pearl necklace, and a very expensive dress with matching heals. She caught Archie's attention. Poor Betty. Next thing I knew she was sitting with them, right next to Archie. Of course. I need to help. I gathered all of my stuff up and went over. "Hey guys, I saw you here and I wanted to say hi." God it was so hard to try to be nice. The raven haired girl stuck out her hand and said "Veronica" "Jughead" I said without shaking her hand, I didn't want to be too nice to her because she probably just ruined Betty's night. I look over at Betty, her eyes glassy. "I'm so sorry" i whisper, taking a seat next to her.

   We sat there for about 5 minuets until Betty said "Walk me home Jug?" Her eyes still glassy trying not to cry. "Of course"  We leave in silence. We take the long way back to her house, once we are out of sight from Pops she turns and stops me and I pull her in for a long hug. "I am so sorry Betty, he doesn't deserve you." she starts crying on my shoulder, still not pulling away from the hug. "I don't know why I kept running back to him, over all these years and he never once liked me and kept pushing me away. Why did I have to be so oblivious?" "Shh" i start rubbing circles on her back trying to comfort her. After I finally calmed her down we stared walking home and shared old memories and jokes. We finally got to her house, and had to part. "Thank you for waking me home Jug, I really needed it" She said while pulling me into one last hug. I loved her hugs, her strong sent, she always hugged tightly. "No problem Betts, anytime" I said with a chuckle. She pulled away from the hug. "Goodnight Juggie" "Goodnight Betts" I waited until she shut the big red door behind her, and then i started to head home.

   The whole way home she was the only thing on my mind. Her beautiful golden hair, her soft, pink, plump lips. Her beautiful blue/green eyes. She was all I could think about on the way home.

It was always her
