I was worried about Veronica.

She only types in lowercase either when she's worried...

or when she's hiding something. Something important. 

I decided to go with

paired with a plain black shirt. To finish the look off I twisted my hair into a bun, leaving some hair out. 

As I got into Andre's limousine, I was feeling anxious. Curious. 

And then I remembered what Jughead told me. Uh, your boyfriend, and your best friend?

Crap. 

I didn't know what to do. Should I pound her to death? Should I forgive her? 

 But then again, you did indulge in Jughead's flirting. 

Doesn't count. Sadly, I didn't get much time to think, because I saw Veronica smiling softly at me outside off the mall entrance.

"Hey, Bee! I can't stay for long, I'm sorry." Her face fell as she said those words.

I put my arm around her. "Hey, whatever we have, let's make the most out of it, okay?"

two hours later...

We managed to spend a total of $3000.  Basically it was me splurging on Adidas, Nike, and Forever 21, while Veronica splurged on Gucci, Chanel, Michael Kors, Versace, and Sephora. 

"Hey, Bee, my dad just texted me. I gotta go." Veronica looked a little downcast. 

"Okay, but first, Veronica, tell me what's wrong?"

She grabbed my arm and took me near an area with a fountain.

"Don't say anything, Betty, or I'll cry, okay? So, um, I'm moving. Back to New York. And-and we're leaving today, so I just wanted to tell you some stuff. If Archie could only respond to my--"

I heard a thump against the floor. Behind me was a ginger haired boy sprawled on the ground with a grin on his face. 

"Sorry, I just got Veronica's texts. So what'd I miss?" Veronica rolled her eyes, and when Archie went to stand next to her right, she moved a step left.

"Okay, Veronica, Archie, what the hell is going on?"

Archie sighed. "Okay, so basically, to tell the truth, Veronica and I were having--"

"Yes, yes, I know that. Jughead told me." Veronica and Archie's mouths both dropped open. 

"And Veronica's moving back to New York, so you wanted to tell me before you left. Um, so let me guess, Archie wanted to end things, but Veronica wanted to keep the relationship, so you guys got mad at each other, and you're not talking anymore?"

"Yeah, pretty much," Archie shrugged, and Veronica elbowed him in the rib. 

"Well, I don't know what to say. I'm not surprised. I mean, you guys are pretty close. But, I hate to say this. I don't think we all should be friends anymore." Veronica opened her mouth, but I put a finger to her lips. "Look, I would have been fine with it if you told me the truth."

Then I got mad. "Actually, no. No, I wouldn't have. If I knew that some black haired monster like YOU was gonna come and act like she owns every aspect of my life, I would have STAYED in my mom's belly where I belonged. And you. Mr. Ed Sheeran of Riverdale. We've been friends for so long, and you couldn't even come and muster the courage to tell me that you've been SLEEPING with my best friend? This is why--" I choked back an angry tear. "Why we can't be friends. Anymore. Bye, Veronica."

And with that, Archie went back home, Veronica to the airport, and me to Jughead's house. 

Our hearts all ached for each other, but what's done is done. 

What have I done?
