Veronicas POV:

I'm currently on the way to school, thinking about Betty. What the fuck did I do? I have to talk with her, it's gonna be okay. Why is she even mad at me? I didn't to anything, yeah okay, maybe. We kissed, but there's always two persons to kiss each other. She can't just be mad at me.

Finally I get to school and walk through the hallways, looking for B. I don't know what to say, I don't even know why this happened. We're best friends and we'll always be. Nothing more than that. I think...

Suddenly i run into someone, "Oh... I'm sorry,", I say stuttering and embarrassed. I look up to see Archie, it makes me even more sad to see him, especially right now. I hate the way he broke up, wait I hate him. Why'd he do that? I never did anything bad towards him, I always loved him and I was always good to him... and he broke up. Okay, I'm fucking mad.

"It's okay Ro... Veronica, I mean.", he says uncomfortable. This fucking asshole! I just look at him and say nothing, until I go away. Okay, this was, I don't know...

Then I remember that I have to find B, I really need to talk to her. I wish I would not have found her, because she is standing there, with Jughead, his arm around her waist. Holding her tight. What the actual fuck? Did I miss something?

I go to them in a fast pace, "B... eh what the...?", She just looks at me shocked, trying to say something, then she looks down, at her hands, playing with her fingers. "Oh okay, I understand.", I say pissed as I go away, I feel tears starting to swell up in my eyes, but no, Veronica Lodge is not gonna cry about this, not about B or Archie or anybody.

"Wait V, no!", I hear her screaming, while runs after me. I just continue to walk, I don't wanna talk to her anymore. But I know she won't stop walking after me.

I turn around trying to look as normal as I can, but I know she notices the way I'm feeling about her and Jughead being together again. she notices that I'm sad, she always does, "Why?", I ask while my voice begins to break and she looks at me, not saying anything. Her beautiful green eyes looking in mine, I'm forgetting the rest of the world, like I always do. I look away, shy, "I don't understand B.".

After a moment she grabs my wrist and pulls me into the locker room. She looks around to see if anyone is here and lets go of my hand. As soon as she does I miss her touch, I miss her even if she stands right in front of me. It's only been one day, but since she ran away I couldn't think of anything but her. The way I messed up everything because I let her kiss me, but it felt so good, so right, even though it's not. Her adorable green eyes and-

"V?", she says as she waves her hand in front of my face and pulls me out of my thoughts. I look at her with my eyes wide open."Eh- sorry. Did you say something?", I say stuttering, now looking down at my hands, cause I can't look at her right now. Playing with the ring on my finger.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you Veronica. I wanted to call you, but eh- after yesterday I just couldn't.", she explains, sadness in her voice. She pulls my head up under my chin, so that I'm looking at her. I can not read the expression in her face right know.

"But... How?", I ask after a short silence and put her hand away from my chin, it was hard, but I can't handle her touch right now, it is just too much.

"After... I left the Pembroke, I couldn't go home, I was... sad. So I got to our place, you know where I mean?", I nod and she continues, "I was thinking and after a while it got too much for me and I hated being at that place without you.", after that she makes a little pause, probably because she thought about it, "I... I just went away, I didn't know where exactly to go and without realizing it I was at Jugheads trailer."

She stops at that, probably because it is hard to explain, to me and herself. "And what happened then?", I ask her unsure. And she looks at me, trying to find the right words.

„We talked and..."

Flashback:
Bettys POV:

He got a little closer to me. „I know what this is about...", he says concerned. Wait... What does he mean? Maybe he knows about Veronica and me... Just act natural, „You do?". He looks at me, „Of course. Okay, I know you're sad and I have an explanation why I broke up.", oh he thinks it's about the break up, okay, I have to act like it is.

I just look at him sad and confused as he continues, „I had much stress lately, mostly with the serpents. I know I didn't spend time with you or Archie nor Veronica and I'm so deeply sorry for what I did Betty.", he says truthfully. I don't know what to say but he comes closer to me. It doesn't feel the same, I don't wanna kiss him or even hug him and I wish Veronica was here to help me, she always does. But I just kiss him. „It's okay Jughead, I understand."

Back to reality:

„That's how it happened.", I tell her, without talking about the part of her, she looks sad and says nothing. „I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, but I think it was... is complicated between us, after yesterday.", I say, trying to get words out of her. I take her hands, but she pulls them away and looks at me.

„Sorry, but I can't do this right now.", she says, „This is to much for me.". She looks so sad, tears in her eyes, ready to come out. I hate seeing her that way, I almost never saw it. Veronica is bad in showing her feeling, she once told me it's because if people know how you feel, they can put it against you. It's not true, I would never do that.

„Please V.", I say, „I need you, you know that, you're my best friend.". Best friends... it's hard to say that. She's so broken, does that mean she wants to be more than that or is it cause I didn't tell her? She can't leave me, I'm nothing without her, my V.

„You don't need me, you have Jughead.", she says as she storms out, leaving me alone in the locker room. I feel the tears starting to fall out of my eyes and on my sweater.

I wanted to tell her, I don't love him anymore, honestly I don't know what I feel for anyone right now. But I know, I don't need him, I need her.
