Bad boys bring heaven to you

[Twelve]

I rushed to the hospital trying not to run over someone on the way. After I had heard the news I had called her parents. They said that she had been at a coffee shop outside of town and a man had gone in and shot a few people, including Veronica. They had caught the man and Veronica was stable so it was going to be fine, she was going to be fine. But I was still worried about her so I still hurried to the hospital. When I got there I walked inside and asked for Veronica's room. They said that she was in recovery but that I could see her in a few hours. I waited in the waiting room for just a few minutes before Becky showed up. I had called her cause I didn't want to be alone. Her parents had already been here this since it happened but they had gone home to get some of her things and they would be back when she was allowed to have visitors. I had promised them to text them when it happened. I sat there holding Becky's hand for two hours without them calling me in. The clock was almost 9pm and the doctor had already told me multipule times that visiting hours ended at 8pm but I didn't care. Becky was the one who finally got me to leave. She told me that the best thing I could do was go home and come back the next morning for visiting hours, so I did. She followed me home to my apartment "I can sleep on the couch, you take the bed"
"I can't do that Archie"
"Yes you can, you've helped me so much lately plus you're maybe pregnant with my baby"
"I know but you need the sleep, you've been through a lot today. First finding out you're maybe becoming a dad in February, then breaking up with Veronica and then finding out that Veronica has been shot. You must be exhausted"
"I am but I've slept on the couch before"
"Fine but only because I don't have the energy to argue with you. I'm going to bed even though it's just 9 but I'm exhausted, goodnight Archie"
"Becky, wait" she stopped and turned around to face me "thank you for helping me today. I know that you don't like me and you never needed to show up at the hospital when I called"
"I do still love you, but just as a friend, and definitely not as much as Veronica loves you. You know that you don't deserve her?"
"I know, she's way to good for me"
"You're good too, you've just made a lot of bad decisions. But I meant the fact that she's way hotter than you" she smirked at me and I chuckled. "goodnight Becky"
"Goodnight" she walked into my room and I heard her immediately lay down on my bed. I felt so bad for her, yes she could be a bitch sometimes but after all she was my best friend. That was something I hadn't told Veronica. Me and Becky had been friends since kindergarden and when she found out I was leaving things got a little bit, well, emotional. We ended up sleeping togther and now she was pregnant, maybe with my kid. She did say that she have slept with a few other guys but since she was 3 months pregnant and I was who she had slept with 3 months ago it most likely was mine. When I had moved to Riverdale almost 3 months ago she had been so pissed at me for leaving her that she hadn't even helped me with the move. After I had moved I wanted her to come and visit, I didn't know anyone in Riverdale and I didn't feel like going out and look for friends. When school started I had immediately met a few friends and Veronica. And that is when she decides to come visit. That is when I relized it, that night at the bar when she met Veronica for the first time, did she know she was pregnant? I tiptoed to my room and lightly opened the door. Becky lifted her head and looked at me "hey"
"Hi, did I wake you?"
"No I haven't fallen asleep just yet, why?"
"I just needed to ask you something"
"Sure, what's up?"
"That night at the bar, did you know you were pregnant?"
"No.."
"Don't lie to me, you said you had been to the doctor before"
"Fine I was going to tell you but you said you were bringing your girlfriend and it just felt awkward"
"And that's why you show up at the cabbin and just blurts it out infront of her"
"I'm sorry okay! Is that what you want to hear? I'm sorry for never visiting you, I'm sorry for not helping you with the move but I was terrified that being around you would make me fall in love with you and I couldn't. You're my bestfriend and I didn't want to lose you"
"Calm down okay, the stress can't be good for the baby and I guess that I'm not mad. But the reason I wanted you to come visit me was because I thought we were more than just bestfriends"
"But?"
"But then I met Veronica, fell in love with her and realized that what I felt for her I had never felt for you"
"I get that, I was never in love with you either. I was just scared of losing you"
"Well you haven't, you have to bear with me for the rest of your life" I walked over and sat down next to her and pulled her into a hug "what are you going to do?"
"About what?"
"The baby. If it is yours you'll lose the love of your life"
"I know and I'm not sure. Hopefully Veronica will be okay with it and if not I just have to figure it out. Now lets get some sleep, I have to be alert tomorrow when I'm visiting Veronica" I walked out of the room and crashed on the couch. I fell asleep immediately and woke up the next morning to the sound of cooking.
