Mad World ~A Jeronica Story

Six Feet Under

Jughead's POV

"Jughead, I think we need to take a break." Those soul crushing words broke me. In that instance I felt my heart break.

"What Veronica, why."

"Jug, I think we are just going too fast."

"That's an easy fix, Ronnie. We can just take things down a notch. There will be no need to take a break or anything, we can just take things slow from now on then."

"No Jug, you don't understand. Everything isn't just a quick fix. I just can't be in a relationship with you right now. I guess the timing for us just wasn't right. Maybe someday in the near future things with be different, but right now isn't right for us." I sigh as I take off my beanie in stress. I just couldn't believe what I was hearing.

"Fine Veronica, you win. I'll just leave so you won't have to see my stupid face for the rest of your fantastic night!"

"No babe, Jug, don't leave!" I pretend I didn't hear those last words as I walk over to my motorcycle. For once in my life, I take down my walls for someone and you know what happens. She breaks your heart. Never doing that again.I'm going to the one place that'll never leave me no matter what: Pop's Diner. I wasn't in the mood for the usual strawberry milkshake so I order myself a cup of coffee. Oh boy it's going to be a long night. Where did it all go wrong. About thirty minutes later, an oh so familiar walks through those doors: Toni Topaz.

"Jones, I thought that I'd find you here after what happened."

"Oh so you heard."

"Yeah, Veronica went to Cheryl after what happened and explained everything, including the real reason she decided to break things off between you two."

"She said that we were going too fast or whatever," I mumbled.

"No it wasn't that. I would tell you but she made Cheryl and I promise not to tell anyone." I sit there alone trying to figure out what Toni just said to me. Man at least I thought that there was still trust between us, but I guess not since she lied to me. I chug down my coffee in a sad attempt to make me feel better, but that doesn't work.

"Come on Jones, let's get you home and cleaned up. Cheer up, at least your birthday is in a few days." Shit, I forgot that my birthday is soon. I hoping to spend it with Veronica chilling, but I can't do that anymore I guess. I follow Toni outside. I get on my motorcycle and drive home to Sunnyside Trailers: Home of the Serpents. As I'm driving away, I see a familiar raven haired princess: Veronica. As I'm driving home, I feel some gets trickle down my face. I get home and lay done on the couch. I find some bottle on the floor and drink it. Probably Red Bull. The rest of the night was a blur. All I remember was I couldn't sleep right last night.

Veronica's POV

As soon as Jughead walks away and drives away, I break down. I couldn't handle so much pain inside anymore. I walk inside trying to avoid everyone, especially Betty. She was the one that suggested that I did it tonight and didn't wait a few more days. She said that it'll be easier tonight and that if he were to do anything dangerous that we are in a public place, so we'll be safe. Sure I am fine on the outside, but on the inside I am dying. My heart couldn't take this damage. I accidentally bump into Cheryl and Toni.

"Veronica, are you alright," Cheryl asks me.

"No, I'm not okay."

"Veronica, you know you can tell me anything so spill."

"Okay so you know how me and Jughead were dating."

"Who could forget that you and hobo were dating."
