Written in these walls are the stories that I can't explain
I leave my heart open
But it stays right here empty for days
She told me in the morning
She don't feel the same about us in her bones
It seems to me that when I die
These words will be written on my stone

He left me. I should've known it was going to happen. He was the school's player. But why now? Why after 3 years of dating, he would go and sleep with some girl. It did hurt, but at the same time, I felt well....

Numb.

Is that a feeling? Is it good to feel like that? Why do I ask questions, I will never get answers to?

And I'll be gone, gone tonight
The ground beneath my feet is open wide
The way that I've been holding on too tight
With nothing in between

It was our anniversary. So I wanted to see him, of course. Worst mistake ever. I can still picture it. I can still remember it.

His lips on hers, his hands on her body. Her moaning his name. Him groaning her's.

I'll be okay.

I'll be okay.

I'm not going to be okay.

I kept telling myself, I was going to be okay. But I know I will not. Why try to convince yourself you're okay, when you know you aren't?

The story of my life
I take her home
I drive all night
To keep her warm
And time is frozen
The story of my life
I give her hope
I spend her love
Until she's broken inside
The story of my life

He did run after me. But I couldn't turn back. So I ran and ran. My face was red and my lungs felt like they were going to collapse. It was cold out, snowing. I felt the tears fall.

I ran to my best friend's house.

Archie.

Me and Archie have been best friends since we were little. We always are there for each other. Like now, he was here for me right now.

Written on these walls are the colours that I can't change
Leave my heart open
But it stays right here in its cage
I know that in the morning, now
I'll see us in the light up on the hill
Although I am broken, my heart is untamed still

"Y/n, it's going to be okay. He didn't deserve you. Your amazing and he was too blind to see it." Archie had told me, hugging me. Of course I hugged back.

"But what if it's not going to be okay?" My small voice had asked. He looked at me. We had stared into each other's eyes. He started to lean in, as I did too.

That day, I kissed my best friend.

And I'll be gone, gone tonight
The fire beneath my feet is burning bright
The way that I've been holding on so tight
With nothing in between

Maybe it was for the best. Just maybe.

Archie had his own problems to deal with, I couldn't put mine on him as well. So I left.

I left Riverdale. Never found.

The story of my life
I take her home
I drive all night
To keep her warm
And time is frozen
The story of my life
I give her hope
I spend her love
Until she's broken inside
The story of my life

I did return to Riverdale, one day. I looked different and had a different name. Instead of my brown hair, it was now red. Instead of my green contacts, I wore black. Yes black. Instead of the preppy clothes, skirts, dresses, short shorts, fancy shirts, I wore black clothes, black skinny jeans, wrist bands, I had one tattoo, a nose, lip, stomach, and ear piercings, I wore band tees. I wore dark makeup, instead of the light makeup I would wear.

I came back to town, Archie was with some girl named Veronica, Southside was at our school. Jughead was with Betty, black hood was caught. Jason blossom was dead. Cheryl was with Southside and some girl named Toni. Chuck was off the football team. And as for Reggie, well I don't know.....nor care.

And I been waiting for this time to come around
But, baby, running after you
Is like chasing the clouds
The story of my life
I take her home
I drive all night
To keep her warm
And time is frozen

Of course, people started to notice who I was. They started asking questions.

"Why did you leave?"

"Why were you gone so long?"

"Where were you?"

They all got the same answer.

"Reasons."

The story of my life
I give her hope
I spend her love
Until she's broken inside
The story of my life
The story of my life
The story of my life
(The story of my life)

I did end my life. I ended my life on February 4, 2018.

I'm dead, everyone gets a happy life. I was a burden anyway.

Bye world, or anyone who reads this.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I realized these are kinda short. So sorry for that, but I put alot of effort in them.

Yours truly,
