(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Dont Wanna Be Right| Bughead \Continued/

Twenty Nine

I don't even know how to begin with my apologies to all the people who have anticipated updates and supported me throughout this whole book, I started this when I was like 12 years old and had a mad, somewhat unhealthy obsession with riverdale and now I'm 15 and planning on writing normal fiction books one day but I feel as though I owe it to everyone to see through with this book so here it is, me attempting to end the book.
A few chapters left!

RECAP: VERONICA HAS BEEN FOUND AND IT WAS ARCHIE ANDREW WHO MADE HER INDURE SUCH TORMENT. Now here's to bughead getting a happy ending ☺️

Betty's POV:

We spent the next hour or so talking about everything that had happened since Veronica had been gone.

I told her about Cheryl and how we had a small suspicion it was Archie, I'm ashamed we didn't realise it quicker, but I decided I could no longer dwell on the past and only look forward in hopes of a brighter future with the brilliant people in my life.

I just couldn't understand why Archie had become such a cruel villain in our story. He and I had history, bad history sure, we had our ups and downs and he was an overall asshole but there were the good moments too, we would sometimes sit and laugh for hours on end about stupid things and study till we physically couldn't hold any more information, we'd kiss romantically under mistletoe and Christmas and cuddle on cold, stormy nights.

We were one hell of a power couple for a while, but looking back at it now, i'm glad its over.

Why would he go to such extreme lengths to kidnap Veronica though. It was something I was still struggling to wrap my head around it but it was evident that V was in a mental state of torment re-living the events so I steered clear of the topic and talked like we were just old friends casually having a conversation. The rest of the world zoned out for a little while.

That was until our version of a small idealistic reality was broken and we were brought, no DRAGGED, back to reality.

"Miss Lodge, we are going to need you to give us a full victim statement and let us ask you a few questions, we can no longer pro-long this as it is key information in the investigation." The tall, intimidating police officer said.

Veronica had a pained look rest across her face, although it never truly left, as she realized she would have to relive what I assumed to e her worst nightmare, but Veronica also knew that she had to, so Jughead and I respected this and left the Hospital, promising to return as soon as we could.

"Thank you so much Mrs and Mr Lodge, we really appreciate you letting us see her." I politely thanked them as we passed them.

Jughead nodded his head besides me in agreement.

"Its really no problem, you are like family to Veronica and that means so much to us, you didn't give up on her and that surely helped." Mrs Lodge was such a sweet caring women and it meant a lot to me for her to say this.

Leaving the hospital was a bitter sweet reminder of all we had faced in the last months, bitter because it happened and sweet that it's over.

At the beginning of this year I could have never imagined myself with someone as caring as Jughead and I was conceived with every bone in my body we'd be good for each other.

"Betty, I know these past few weeks we've both been pushed to our limits and although it's only just over and you may need some time for yourself, I'd like to ask you to officially be my girlfriend because even though it's been a nightmare we have braved through it and I just hope I get to take you on a real date soon, not at some tacky party for desperate people." Jugheads words held such passion and the respect he held in his eyes was overwhelming, I could look into them forever and never feel like I'm drowning. His eyes were a sanctuary.

"I'd really like that Jughead Jones, I really would." I smiled to myself as we walked hand in hand, ready to fight for each other and fight for veronicas recovery.
