60.

IRL

Veronica walked inside of Pops.

But what she saw in front of her made her lose her appetite.

Toni and Cheryl were sitting across from each other, they seemed to be laughing about something and Veronica noticed that their hands were touching.

Jealously boiled in Veronica's veins. Even though she was with Archie now she had always cared about Cheryl, even though Cheryl did cheat on her.

Veronica wanted her back. 

But Cheryl had fallen in love with someone new.

Tears clouded Veronica's vision as she realized she wasn't even hungry anymore and left the diner.

Veronica wiped them with the back of her hand. She needed to forget about Cheryl and Toni.

She needed a distraction.

She needed trouble.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Later that night, Veronica snuck out of her house to the White Wyrm.

She knew she could get her mind off of things and just be free from everything, and that was what she wanted more than anything.

Veronica was dressed rather different than her usual style. She knew she would attract any male there.

Once she opened the doors and the sounds of loud talking and some music rang through her ears, she knew she was in the right place.

"Veronica Lodge," a voice said, "I don't think we've formally met."

He held his hand out "Sweetpea."

She shook it "oh yeah, you used to be a part of the group chat."

"Yeah" he replied "I started my own actually. But it's for Serpents only."

"Don't worry, I'm not interested," she told him.

He eyed her "you look sexy tonight."

Veronica didn't even blush "thanks. I could really use a drink right now, any idea where they are?"

Sweetpea grinned "follow me."

He led her to the bar and asked for two drinks.

He took a sip of hers "you know, I thought you were more of a Northside kind of girl."

Veronica shrugged "why not try something new."

Sweetpea grinned again, and Veronica took a sip of her drink.

The alcohol ran through her veins, making her want more.

The redhead remained in Cheryl's head, she was always in Veronica's head.

For a second, Veronica imagined Cheryl and Toni kissing. Then she asked for another drink.

She needed to forget Cheryl.

Before she would take over her mind.

Sweetpea had left the raven-haired girl and she had now lost track of the number of drinks she's had.

She spotted a beanie in the crowd, and Veronica smiled walking toward them.

"Jughead" she slurred "what are you doing here? Thought you would be cuddling with Betty at this hour."

"Betty had a big test coming up, so I planned to come here with Toni. But she ditched me" he said.

Veronica was so drunk she didn't even think if Toni was with Cheryl or now.

"What are you doing here?" Jughead asked.

"Just came" Veronica replied.

"Are you okay? You don't sound like yourself" Jughead said.

Veronica took a step closer to him "oh, I'm fine."

Jughead began to get uncomfortable "um Veronica you sound drunk. Really drunk."

"So?" She said backing him up against the wall.

"Um Veronica I'm with Betty, remember? Your best friend?" Jughead said trying to get away from her "and you're with Archie too."

"You know, I've always felt like we've had this kind of connection," she said ignoring his words "I've always thought you were kind of dark and sexy, of course, I never said anything because Betty was madly in love with you. But I've always wondered what it would be like if...if I could kiss you."

"Veronica you need to stop," he said getting serious.

"I want you, Juggie" she whispered.

For a second, their lips touched.

But Jughead pushed her away "I-I need to go."

He left, and Veronica was alone once again.

Please don't kill me
