Our Place

Here we are, staring up at the sparkling stars in the infinite darkness of the sky. Perfectly content with everything in life. My hair pulled out of its classic ponytail and spread out on the blanket we're laying on.

This is our place, it always had been. It was hidden in the small woods near my house, it was quiet, calm with the trees separated so we could look up at the sky and see the stars. We often came here, like I said, it's our place.

It's where Jughead had asked me out, it's where we first said 'I love you', it's where he asked me to marry him and it's where I agreed to marry him. I never thought I'd ever be living this kind of life, I never thought I'd ever find this kind of love.

But here I was, at age 24, with the life I'd always dreamed about, the love id always dreamed about. Everything was perfect.

I lean over and press my lips to his cheek in a gentle kiss. I see him smile in the dim light. I look down at the ring on my finger, reminding me of the promise to marry him that of course, I'm going to keep.

Almost everything was ready for the wedding, oh my, how nervous I am, and it's just in one week. One week until I can call Jughead my husband, something I've wanted to do since I was 16 when I realized he was the one.  One week until we can be together forever officially.

And then I remember that one detail that makes tears sting my eyes.

"Betty?" Jughead asks as he turns to me.

Tears begin to fall down my cheeks "P-Polly's... she's not gonna be at the wedding..." I say quietly

Jughead pulls me closer to him, my head on his chest. "I know.. I know losing her was hard... but she's always with you"

I nod weakly. My beautiful older sister Polly had been in a car accident that claimed her life just before Jughead proposed. I miss her so much.

When I was 11, she promised that she'd be at my wedding, and I promised I'd be at hers. I was at her wedding, but she wouldn't be at mine... a drunk driver hit her when she was driving home from work one night. I loved her.. she was one of my best friends. I wish she could be there at the wedding.

My train of thought is broken when Jughead kisses the top of my head and says "Our wedding is going to be beautiful, and Polly's always with you, she'll be there in spirit"

I nod "Yea, but I miss her"

"I know you do... It's hard to lose someone you love"

I look at him "Never leave me" 

"I would never dream of it"
