If You Want Me Like That (Varchie) {Completed}

chapter 21

Veronica's p.o.v:
When I walked into the pembrooke, I went straight Into my room. I was depressed and lonely. I took of my dress and  put on one Archie's t-shirts that he left. I missed him so much. He means everything to me. I love him so much. I layed in my bed and was about to fall asleep when I got a call. I sat up and looked at my phone.

Call from Betty

I sighed and picked up the phone.

"Hey." I say
"Veronica, hospital right now." Betty said quickly.
"Why? Betty are you okay?" I asked worried.
"I'm perfectly fine. Just meet me at the hospital and I'll explain." Betty said right before she hung up.

I sighed and stood up and put on a skirt and flats.
"Mom, dad. I need a ride to the hospital."
"Why whats wrong?" Hiram asked and stood up, getting his keys.
"I don't know. Betty just called and told me to meet her at the hospital and she will explain there."
"Okay lets go." Said Hiram.

We all got into the car and drove to the hospital, worried what has happened. They finally arrived at the hospital and went in.

"Betty!" I said running to her.
"Veronica...." Betty started.
"Where is Archie?" I ask worried.
"That is why we are here. He tried to kill himself." Betty said.
I hugged betty and cried my eyes out. Archie told me that when he lived in Chicago that he was suicidal but I never talked to him about it before.
"This is all my fault." I finally managed to say.
"How V?" Betty asked as she stopped hugging me.
"Because if I never helped my friend then this would have never happened." I say crying even more.
"No Veronica, it isn't your fault. It's no ones fault except the guy's. It's his fault for not knowing how to flirt." Betty said
"I just need to sit down." I say.
I walked to a chair and sat down. Everyone was talking about what had happened.
"Archie is suicidal." Said one person
"He's so stupid." Said another.
I just ignored them and sat there. Betty came over and sat next to me.
"Veronica, it's okay." She Said.
"No it's not. What if he dies? What if he survives but hates me? What if he never wants to talk to me again?" I started crying again.
"Veronica, none of that will happen. But he will survive. And I highly doubt that he will hate you, and never talk to you again. You were his first love. Correction, you are his first love, because I know he still loves you." Betty said
"Thank you betty." I said hugging her and drying my tears. "I just can't bear the thought of him hating me." I said.

Betty didn't say anything but just kept quiet. We hugged until Archie's doctor came in.

"Archie is..." the doctor started.
