----------Betty's POV---------

I pulled up to Archie's apartment, got out of my car, I took the stairs to get to the top floor where he lived. I hesitated to knock, but I finally did and waited for him to answer.

"Hi" I said as soon as he answered the door

He put his hands in his pockets before answering "Hey"

"I don't know why I'm here" I said nervously

"I didn't ask" he smiled "You want to come in"

"I don't know" I shrugged my shoulders

"Oh Okay. Well, I'll just leave the door open and go sit on the couch" he said sitting down

"Jughead is such an idiot" I said with anger in my voice

"Drink" he asked standing up

"Yeah I'll have a scotch on the-" was all I was able to say before he cut me off

"Rocks with a twist" he completed. "I remember"

I closed the door before going in and sitting on the couch

"Betty let me ask you a question" He said turning around to see me "Since we broke up did you ever think about me"

"No" I answered quickly

"Ahh" was all he said

"Because getting over you was the hardest thing I had to do" I said looking up at him "And I never let myself think about you"

There was an awkward silence before getting up and pacing around

"I miss this apartment . Now this is a grown-up apartment. I should be with a grown up. Do you know what I mean" I said admiring everything around me

"Yeah, you're saying you need to be with someone more mature. Maybe someone with a license to practice medicine" Archie said in a joking way

"You know let's face it. I'm not a kid anymore. I need to be with someone who wants the same things that I do Coming to my place of work and telling me that you love me. I want that! Talking about pig sex over lunch- I don't want that!" I exclaimed.

"I think that's fair" Archie said talking a sip of his beer.

"'Fair'.? Please. don't even talk to me about fair. Fair would have been you wanting to marry me back then. Or fair would be Jughead wanting to marry me now. Believe me nothing about this is fair. Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing" I started to raise my voice and get tears in my eyes

"It's okay. shh,shh." Archie comforted me pulling me into a hug

"Nothing" I mumbled into his chest.

"I don't know. I don't know. Um" I said pulling away from our hug

"I know" Archie said

"I-, I have to figure some, you know, some stuff, before I can..." I said not being able to say anything else

"Yeah, I understand" Archie nodded his head "Take as much time as you want. Ten even 20 minutes if you need it" he joked

I smiled at him one last time before opening the door and leaving.

----------Jughead's POV----------

I knocked on Archie's apartment waiting for him to answer. I heard some rustling inside before he showed up to the door making me even more worried.

"Jughead" he said when he opened the door

"Where is she, I'm not scared of you" I said walking in nervously
