Forbidden love

Twenty first part

Flashback, 1 week earlier:
I walked back to Archie.
"I'm so sorry, I should leave"
"You don't have to, I'll talk to Jacob later"
"You sure?"
"Yeah, he'll understand"
"I'm sorry, but I just wanna go to bed"
"It's fine, you can go lay down in my bed. I'll just sleep on the couch"
"Okay, thanks" Archie walked into my bedroom and closed the door. Arizona came walking out of her bedroom.
"Is he gonna sleep here?"
"Yeah and I know it's a terrible idea but I think he needs my support"
"What about Jacob?"
"What about him?"
"What does he think about this?"
"I don't know, I'm gonna try to call him"
"You should. Him walking in on you and Archie can't be that good"
"He knows me and Archie are over" she raised her eyebrows at me "what?"
"Just, you taking care of Archie and all of that sorta makes it seem like you two aren't over"
"We can still be friends, can't we?"
"Not after what you told him"
"It was in the heat of the moment"
"Do you still love him?" I sat down on a chair and then looked down at the floor.
"Please Arizona, don't do this"
"So you do still love him" I looked up at her "okay, are you still in love with him?"
"I don't know, okay"
"What about Jacob, do you love him?"
"I do, but I'm not in love with him"
"Veronica, you have a big problem you have to deal with. Talk to Jacob now"
"I will" I tried calling Jacob, but he didn't pick up. Days went by and I spent them with Archie. We didn't do anything, after what my dad did I would never cheat on anyone.  We just talked, it felt like we were friends again. I liked it, but I knew I had to tell Jacob eventually.

After I was done telling Jacob what had happened between me and Archie these past two weeks he wasn't happy.
"Jacob, like I told you, we didn't do anything"
"I know you keep telling me that and I trust you Veronica. What I wanna know now is if you still love him"
"Yes, I do. Of course I do. Archie was my first love, he will always have a special place in my heart. You have a special place in my heart too. You saved me when I was drowning. I had just broken up with Archie and then I met you, the perfect guy"
"Just not perfect for you?"
"Jacob, don't say that"
"You know what Veronica. We've been trying to make this work since day one, but it's pointless. One of us always end up hurt"
"Jacob don't do this"
"You practically told Arizona you were still in love with Archie and that you just loved me, how am I supposed to compete with that?!"
"I love you Jacob, please don't leave me"
"See that's the problem. You love me, but, you're in love with him"
"Jacob-"
"Don't. I agreed to give it a chance when you came to my office. I thought that you would tell me the truth and I would find out I had been worrying for nothing. But I was right"
"I'm so sorry"
"Don't be, we can't help who we fall for"
"I really wanted this to work out, I love you so much"
"Just not enough. You told me nothing special happened between you and Archie, then just a second later you told me the truth and to me a lot of things happened" I stood up and walked over to my dresser. I started wiping away my tears and makeup with some wet wipes. When I was calm enough to talk again I turned to Jacob who was still sitting on my bed.
"I don't wanna admit it, but I know you're right. You and me were never meant to be. You are one of the most amazing people in this world. Whoever ends up with you will be so lucky, but it's not me" he smiled a vague smile at me. He stood up and walked over to me. He pulled me into a hug and kissed my forehead.
"I love you Veronica Lodge and I'm gonna regret saying this. But I think you should call Archie" I chuckled and pulled away.
"I love you too, but I sadly think you're right" he wiped away a tear on my cheek. He then walked out of my room and I followed him to the door. He grabbed my hand one last time before leaving. I knew that it was probably the last time I would see him and I couldn't help but cry a little bit more.

A/N: So I had accidentally written "2 weeks earlier" in the last part. It was supposed to be one so I changed it. I'm not even sure anyone noticed it, but I still wanted to tell you guys😊 Also sorry if this part is a little bit confusing. I realized it might be when I read through it.
