Barchie One Shots

8: When you left me

Betty POV 

I can't believe it, I didn't go with him, none of this would have happened if I didn't let him leave. He was dead, Archie Andrews was dead. He died in the woods of Canada after getting attacked by a bear. I was heart broken, I have never been so emotionless, I broke up with Jughead because of this, I broke my friendship with Veronica because of this, The only person I had left was Cheryl, yes her. My Mom and Sister have gone insane, my dad is in jail. I was kinda alone. Mr.Andrews hasn't left the house. I can't walk around this town without finding somewhere Archie and I have been. Today was the day I say goodbye.

"Betty are you ready?" Cheryl walks in the room. I had on a black mini dress, black tights. Archie always said how much he loved my hair down so I curled my hair and kept it down. There was a black bow in my hair too. I had no makeup on, tears were the only thing that was 'makeup' on my face.

"I guess" I look into my mirror.

"It's going to okay, he loved you" Cheryl rubs my shoulders. I look down at the picture on my desk, Archie and I cuddled on my bed laughing. Tears slowly go down my face.

"I can't believe he's gone" I say picking up the picture. A tear drop fell the picture frame.

"We have to go" She says grabbing my hand. I nod and set down the photo. As we walk out I get this awful feeling in my stomach, please say this is all a dream. We walk out of the house and get into a car Cheryl ordered for us to ride in. Once we get there, all eyes were on us. They all knew how much I cared and loved him. As soon as I saw Archie's face in that coffin I could hold the tears anymore. I can feel myself shaking, seeing all his pictures around then seeing his dead body kills me.

"Betty?" Fred says, I give him a hug.

"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have let him go" I say to Fred.

"Betty don't blame this on your self, I was the one who dropped him off" He rubs my shoulder, tears are flowing from his eyes.

"There was something he wanted me to give you, it was on a list I found in his room" Fred says, he takes out a box. I open it to see a beautiful diamond ring, there was a piece of paper on the top of it that says "Ask me when were 18 and i'll say yes"  I slide the ring on my finger in tears, this was only one year away.

"He was going to keep his promise" I laugh in tears, Cheryl gives me a hug as Fred walks away. This was one of the most difficult days ever. As it went on, I was one of the only people to make a speech about Archie.

"Archie Andrews left us too early, he was the love of my life. In second grade Archie was struggling in reading and if he wasn't about to read this book level he wouldn't pass second grade, I didn't want us to not be in the same grade so I helped him until he could read that book. Once I did he kissed me and asked me to marry him, I said 'ask me when were eighteen and i'll say yes' I never knew he wasn't going to make it to eighteen. We were going to graduate together, be married and have kids, we planned this all in second grade by the way. All of the bad things and relationship problems led to our friendship to weaken, I really wish I would have maybe not spent so many days in a useless and spent time with my best friend who I fell in love with. I never got to tell him this for real, but I love you Archie Andrews with all my heart" I finished talking in tears. That night I couldn't sleep. Night after night I couldn't sleep, I wouldn't leave my room much, I wouldn't eat much. I would stare out that window into Archie's room looking at it each month, something would get packed up until it was all gone. I kept a lot of his stuff and put it in my room, they stayed in a box though. Day after day, week after week, month after month. I couldn't take it anymore. It was the start pf senior year, I was supposed to be with Archie at Pop's. Every new school year, we would sit in that booth at Pop's and talk about our summer. I went to that booth and I talked to him.

"Archie, how was your summer up there" I ask,

"We all miss you, I can't live without you" My voice cracks.

"My summer was bad, I didn't have you with me"

"Everywhere I go, there is were we did this"

"Archie I need you back with me" Tears finally flowed out of my eyes. I look up and I see him. His red hair and big smile,

"I missed you too Betty" His voice haunts me. 

"Tell me how your internship was?" He smiles, I run out of Pop's and to my house, I finally get home, I run to the bathroom and grab my pills and all of my mom's old ones that she left behind. I stick them in my mouth and swallow them. 

"I will be with you Archie" I smile holding the ring in my hand. Things go blurry after a while and I drop to the ground. The light is coming to get me,

"Betty, live for me" Archie says

"Arch, I want to be with you" I say back,

"I want you to live and be happy for me" Archie says trying not to let me through the light.

"I can't be happy without you" I cry, it finally takes me, I'm with Archie.
