My Everything ~ Jarchie

Twenty-One

Betty

I shut the trailer door, then place the key that I user back under the plant. I couldn't stand to see him so upset about Archie, I know Archie is the reason he gets up in the morning. I looked at my watch at 1:27 visiting hours start at two and go to three. I have time.

I called Veronica's butler and asked him if he could take me to the prison that Archie was in. Once I got there the officer looked at me "who made you here to see?" "Archie Andrews." He slowly nodded looking through a vanilla folder, he nodded "okay right this way."

He took me into the room filled with other inmates visiting their family's. I sat down at a table and soon saw the ginger come through the doors. He beamed with light as soon as he saw me, he clearly wasn't taking it well either. He had sunken in eyes from the lack of sleeping and they were red and puffy from crying. Bags under them as well, just like Jugheads eyes, also the light gone from his eyes just like Jugs.

He sat down and smiled at me "if Jughead okay?" The first three words out of his mouth were, I like that he cares so much about Jughead, it shows that he really loves him. I slowly sighed "he isn't doing so good. Hiram made it impossible for him to see you. He was only gotten out of bed for the bathroom, I can see the bones in his hands. Paler than usual, has the same side effects on his eyes as you do. Fp told me that when he does sleep, he wakes up screaming and crying for you to hold him." I said as I hold back a few tears for Archie and Jughead.

Archie would break down now if nobody was around but me, but there are people around. He tugs at his hair, "anyway that I can help?" I slowly nod, I slip over a tape recorder. He looks confused, I smile at him "its blank, I would call him up but we can't use phones while visiting inmates. He said he misses your voice the most." He takes it in his hands, he presses play "Hey Juggie."

Jughead

I manage to get in the shower the next morning, I eat three pieces of toast too. But then I go back to bed, in a new pair of clean clothes. I hear the door open, the bedroom door opens to reveal a girl with her iconic ponytail.

She smiles at me and slides me over a box wrapped in black wrapping. I hold it up to her "what is it?" "Jughead I wrapped it so you could find out what it is." I slowly wrap off the paper, she smiles dim going to go, I think this is something for you to find out by yourself."

She walks out, I hear the trailer door close. I slowly open the box to see headphones and a tape player. I slowly take off my beanie and place the headphones over my ears. I slowly turn it over and then press play, "Hey Juggie." Stop, press, I press restart, "Hey Juggie." It's him, its Archie, it's his beautiful voice.

I slowly wipe away the tears forming in my eyes and press play. "Hey Juggie, so it's been a while since we have last seen each other. Betty has told me that you haven't been handling this well, frankly neither have I, I haven't been sleeping well. I can't hold you or kiss you or hear your beautiful soothing voice telling you that you love me has been hard. But you know I might be in here for.. awhile. So I want you to keep moving, I understand that you are an upset ad, not a day will go by that I don't think about you but, its summer Jughead. Just pretend I'm visiting my mom in Chicago and will be back the next day. I just want you not to cry every day I want you to have fun this summer. Go investigate Diltons murder, I know you love playing detective. I love you Juggie I'll find a way to hold you soon."

I wiped a single tear from my eye. I slowly get up and place my beanie on and walk out the door to see Betty waiting for me. I nod, we then start heading to Dilton Doylies autopsy.

I tried my best not to think about Archie for the rest of the day. I'm trying best to block him for my mind for the day but I couldn't stop thinking about him. I guess it is going to be hard to think of him less.

After I got pictures of the weird symbols in Dilton's back and Betty went home I called up Sweet Pea. I heard couching over the phone "hey Jug what's up?" "Hey change of plans you two are back in and I'm up for it to go back to be leader again."

"Awesome, thanks Jug. So want me to fill you in?" I smiled "yeah what's been going on recently?" "There are two new gangs in town." Oh, geezer, in the span of two weeks, this can't be good, "only talk to me do you know the leaders of the gangs?" He sighs "well Cheryl is the leader of the Pretty Positions, we might be able to use them as an asset. But the other gang no way, we don't know anything about them except their name." "Okay well, what is it then?" There was silence over the phone for at least a few seconds "there called the Gargoyles."
