"B! What took you so long?" Veronica says, eyeing me. "I got caught up with Jughead.." I look down at the floor, failing to hide my blush. "You.. Kissed?" She asks, a smile widening on her face. "Yes." "I never knew you liked him!" She says, hugging me. "V, I honestly didn't think much of it. As in the feeling in my stomach when I saw him." I exclaim. "You know? I went to the south side before this, and I may have found my future husband." She murmurs. "Who?!" I ask. "Sweet-Pea." She mumbles. "Really?! Wow! I'm so happy for you, V!" We hug for a while, then begin shopping.
THREE WEEKS LATER
That night, I couldn't sleep. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't. At around 2 AM I gave up, and went outside for a walk, hoping it would tire me out. I was walking towards Sweet Water River, when I saw a figure. "Jughead!" I shouted! He turned around, "Betty! What are you doing here so late?" "Going for a walk-I couldn't sleep. What about you?" I ask. "Same reasons." He said. I leaned in for a kiss. "So are we a thing now?" He asks, in a soft whisper. "Mhmm." I mumble. Our lips touch again. I run my hands through his dark hair, which is usually covered by a beanie.
"B?" Says a shaky voice from behind. I turn around to find Veronica, with Sweet-Pea on her hands who has a shot in his stomach. He's covered in blood, so are her hands. "Help.." she sobs. "Call 911 Jug!" I scream, running to his aid. I check for pulse. Weak, but still there. I put pressure on the wound with my hands to stop the bleeding. "Who did this?" I ask, panicked. "A-A-Archie." Tears run down her face. I hear the ambulance, and see the blue and red lights coming closer by the second. "Stay with me, stay with me." I whisper. Jughead is by my side, calling his dad. I get into the ambulance, and hold Veronica, "it's going to be alright." I say, holding on to her tightly, feeling the rivers of tears fall down her red face.
We get to the hospital in practically no time at all, and Sweet-Pea is rushed into emergency. The three of us sat in the waiting room for a while. "Do you want to go home? Get some comfortable clothes, take a shower?" I ask, Veronica. She nods her head silently. Jughead said he'd stay here, if there's any updates. Basically, Jug is in this gang of the south side of Riverdale called The Serpents. His dad, FP is the leader, and Sweet-Pea is one of the members. That's why he was also heartbroken.
Since my parents are out in Bali on their anniversary, I bring Veronica home. She gets cleaned up, and I make her some Jasmine tea, to help her relax a bit. After she drinks her cup, we go back to the hospital. "Any news?" I ask Jughead. "No, not yet. He's still in surgery." He says. FP is here, talking to the receptionist. So are some other Serpents.
After around 10 hours of crying, waiting, and stress we finally get some news. "I'm sorry to inform you but he didn't make it." Announced the doctor. Veronica breaks down in tears. "NO!" She screams, "NO!!!" "V, I'm so sorry." I say, rubbing her back. "I loved him." She wept. "And he-" She pauses to take a breath. "Was taken from me, by a person I trusted." She finishes.
I walked home with Jughead, who asked to stay over. I took a shower following his, and got dressed in a white tank top with lifts blue shorts, my hair was brushed down. "Today, was a hell of a day." He says, putting his arm around me. "Agreed. Are we turning Archie in tomorrow?" I ask. "It's the right think to do." He shrugs.
I lean in to his lips. The feeling of his tongue against mine makes me tremble. I run my hands through his gorgeous hair, while taking off his shirt, He goes to my neck, kissing down to my collarbone. Then, it takes off.
After some sex, I get a phone call. I struggle teaching my phone, "Hello?" I ask, trying my hardest not to moan. "Hey. Reggie and I are coming over. We're almost there." Pants Veronica. "With Reggie?" I ask. "He's been great support." She sighs. "Okay-we'll I'll see you." I mumble, hanging up. "What's wrong?" Asks Jughead. "Veronica and Reggie are coming over. We have to get dressed." I roll my eyes. We quickly put on some clothes, right as they ring the doorbell.
"Hi!" She says. "Hey, come on in." I gesture. I see that Veronica has a worried glance on her face. "Is everything alright?" I whisper. "No. Reggie and I had sex before this." She sighs. "Holy shit Veronica!" I say. "I don't know how! He was so nice, I couldn't control myself. I needed something to distract me. What do I do?" She looks at me desperately. "I'm not sure, V." I sigh. She slumps down on a chair. The men were too distracted to notice. I brought us beers, and we drank them in about a minute. "Speaking about sex, I lost my virginity this evening." I said. Her eyes widened. "Jughead?" "Yep." She giggles, "Wow."
Veronica and her so called lover Reggie left late at night. "What'd you guys talk about?" I wondered, climbing into bed. "Mostly school, something about Riverdale's mysteries as well." He replied, placing the piece of hair on my face behind my ear. "Goodnight." I sigh, giving him a little kiss on his soft lips. "Goodnight." He mumbles. Soon, I fall into a dreamless sleep.
My eyes open to the bright light of morning sun. I look over to my left, and Jughead's still sound asleep. I take a shower, and brush my hair, and teeth. I head downstairs, and make some toast and egg for us. Then, I wake him up, kissing his forehead. "Good morning, sunshine." I grinned. His bright green eyes focused on me. "Morning, Juliet." He whispered, pulling me into a deep kiss. "I made you breakfast." I chirped. "I need to get dressed first." He said, smiling. "Not like I haven't seen you naked." I snorted. He gave me another kiss, and got up, getting dressed. "I still love you." He laughed. "Highly doubt that." I insisted, dragging him downstairs.
We're in the middle of breakfast, when my phone rings. "Hello?" I ask. "B, I did something bad." Veronica confessed. "Are you okay? What happened?" I say, worried. "I slept with Fangs Fogarty." She cried. "V.. What are you doing?" I sigh. "I don't know anymore! I loved Sweet-Pea, he got shot. Then, I needed something to distract me, so I slept with Reggie. After that it got out of control, so I went with Fangs." She sobbed. "It's going to be okay, V. But you can't keep going around sleeping with everyone when you have a boyfriend." I explain. She lets out a deep breath, "I'll talk to you later, thanks." "No problem. Bye." I hang up. "Another one?" Jughead asks. I nod.
Today, Jughead and I wanted to go visit Archie. The mad person who shot Sweet-Pea. I didn't know how I felt about this. I used to like him, and he turned out to be a murderer. I looked through the iron gates, separating us, from a person I once knew.
