Dark Bonds With Dark

Happy Endings?

Jughead

"Okay Jug, What is going on?"

Betty and I were sitting in our usual booth but today I honestly was feeling it. I had my suspicions. And Veronica may have just confirmed them.

After last night I couldn't stop worrying about her. Was she okay? Where did she go? And what had upset her so much?

"Nothing, Betty. I'm fine." I said not having the guts to tell her what really was going on. I felt like I was losing trust in both her an Archie.

"You haven't eaten anything since we arrived. And you look miserable!" Betty pointed out truthfully.

"I'm fine. Cut it out already." I grumbled pushing away by burger.

"Why Jug? Was it last night? If your worried about Veronica I ca-"

"It seems like I'm the only one who is." I argued.

"You know that isn't true." Said Betty looking sympathetic.

"You know what?" I asked her, "I don't what's true and what's not anymore."

"What are you on about?" She was clearly starting to get annoyed with me.

"Fine. I'm gonna ask you point blank." I stated, folding my arms in front of me. "Do you like Archie Andrews?"

Betty hesitated meanwhile I was anxiously awaiting her answer.

"Why on earth would you think that?" She said turning a shade of bright crimson.

"Look Betty, I'm not stupid. Veronica was crying for nothing. I've seen the way he looks at you...the way you look at him. Can you at least be honest with me? It's me or Archie, choose." I regretted those words as soon as they left my mouth. But how could I live if my love life was just a huge, fat lie?

"I-I...I don't know how to say this..."

I was already preparing my self for the worst. I mean me against Archie Andrews? Even Reggie Mantle could put money on it.

"...I choose Archie." As Betty walked away I could feel my tears coming. Betty had truly broken me, I don't how I could ever love again...

Veronica

"Ronnie? Archie is here he says he has something to ask you."

Once those words hit me I felt my eyes start to water and once again I couldn't breathe.

I opened my bedroom door to see Archie waiting outside.

As he walked in it was clear that the worst of the worst was going to happen.

"Ronnie," Archie began but he could make eye contact with me. "Whatever you saw..."

"Ruined my life." I finished for him saying nothing but the truth. Surprisingly, instead of feeling sad and depressed, anger began rising in me. "and you call yourself my boyfriend!" I yelled as I raised my hand to his face and slapped him hard across the cheek.

He flinched in shock.

"Look, Veronica. I'm so sorry. But I just can't do this anymore."

"You can't do this?!" I said absolutely outraged.

"I'm sorry. Okay. I love Betty."

Those words ring through my ears like the school's dreaded fire alarm. I love Betty. When? What? Why? How?

I opened for door and stood to the side.

"Just go, Archie. Just go!" I yelled pushing him out the door, "and never come back!" I slammed the door shut and jumped onto my bed. I felt ashamed. Wasn't I good enough?

Betty and I will never be the same...
