Veronica POV
"So how do you feel about Betty giving up the baby?" I asked Jughead as we both got into bed. "Honestly V, I'm proud of her, she's giving something up to what people can't have." Jughead answered. "True, imagine what the baby will look like?" I joked."Let's just go to bed." Jughead groaned taking off his shirt and crashed on my bed. I unzipped my dress and hopped into bed with him. I looked up at him. "A Jones and a Lodge who would've ever saw that coming." Jughead looked down at me. "Let's make it a first." I whispered and ran my mouth into his. I could feel his soft arms all over me. I wrapped my legs around his waist. He was different to Archie. Archie was muscular and broad but Jughead was soft but had a hard side to him. His arms weren't as huge as Archie's but they were as broad. I understood what Betty meant. I felt his body roll on top of me as he pinned me down on my bed. I felt him pull back. "Why did you stop?" I panted. "Are you ready to-." Jughead asked. "Yes! Yes! Yes!" I giggled. We both laughed and carried on. Well that was an amazing night..
Betty POV
I was sweating uncontrollably. How could I say that in front of Archie. I mean I know he's my best friend and I shouldn't be embarrassed and all but I thought he wanted to..you know sleep with me! I don't know why I was overthinking it. I rolled out of bed and went downstairs to get a glass of water and would you believe it who was sitting on the kitchen stool? "Archie what the hell?!" I caught my breath. He was sitting in the dark drinking a cup of water. "Why are you up." He stood up. "I wanted a glass of water if you must know I could ask you the same thing?" I sat on the stool beside him our knees grazing against each other. "Had a bad dream?" He asked me gulping his last bit of water. "Maybe, you?" I asked him getting up and opening the fridge. "Nope just couldn't sleep." He said looking at me. "What were you thinking about?" I asked of curiosity. "I don't remember." He stammered. What a liar. We both sat in silence. The tension in here was thick but I didn't want to leave. The only thing that I could hear was me pouring the water into the glass. My hands were shaking as I poured the water into my glass. Why was I nervous around my own best friend? "Are you still coming with me to meet the couple I picked out?" I asked. "I wouldn't miss it for the world." He smiled moving his stool closer to mine. That made me sweat uncontrollably. Is he doing this on purpose? He leaned in all of a sudden. Was this what I think it was? I froze in case I set myself up for disaster. Thank god he was just getting his phone from behind me. I sighed with relief. I couldn't take this anymore. "Goodnight Arch." I huffed and ran to my room.
Jughead POV
"That was incredible." I panted lying down next to Veronica. "You think?" She replied. It truly was amazing, I couldn't keep away from her. I always heard Archie say this but I don't think he's ever meant it. "I'm crazy about you Veronica." I whispered in her ear. "Archie always used to say that." She turned around and looked at me. "Yes but I mean it." I said adjusting the duvet on her. "Can we not rush things?" She asked. I gestured at the bed. "No I don't mean that I mean, can we not say the three words and eight letters?" She asked me. "Um you do realise there are a thousand combinations in my head right now?" I scoffed. "I mean I love you, I lost Archie because we said it too soon there is no way I'm going to lose you too!" She hissed. "Has anyone ever told you you're so cute when you're serious." I tapped her button nose. She giggled like a little school girl. "Poor Smithers he has the bedroom next door." I whispered which made her laugh even more. "I made my room soundproof for a reason Jonesy." Veronica answered cuddling up to me. I put my arm around her and kissed her forehead. "Night V." I whispered in her ear. "Night J." She whispered back. It felt so warm to have her on me. Her hair fluffed against my chest, her legs against mine made me feel warm. It was the most incredible feeling. I fiddled with her bouncy raven curls until eventually I fell asleep as well.
Archie POV
I lied on Polly's hard mattress thinking about what just happened. Why was Betty acting so twitchy, I've never seen her like this before. I could see her lampshade was still on which means she's still awake. I checked the time. 3am. I crept up into her bedroom not wanting Alice to hear. Once I got inside, I shut the door. "Archie what are you doing in here?!" She sat up. "We have to talk." I said switching on her light. "Can it wait?" She asked gesturing at her alarm clock. "No Betty, no it can't." I sat next to her on the bed. "Well shorten it." She demanded budging up against her wall. "No what's wrong Betty, why are you being so twitchy and fiddly?" I whispered. She looked up at me with her emerald eyes. I looked back at her waiting for an answer. "I don't know Archie." She finally said. "You don't know?" I knew this wasn't true. "Yeah I don't know." She sighed. "Is it about the baby?" I asked her looking down at her stomach.
Betty POV
"Is it about the baby?" He asked me. I can't tell him the real reason why I was being so nervous around him. I nodded. "What's wrong?" Archie asked me. "Well am I making the right choice?" I whispered as if Archie knew the answer. "In my eyes you are you're giving someone something they could never have." He looked at me and suddenly put his arm around me. I froze trying not to shake. "Thanks Arch." I leaned on his shoulder but I couldn't fall asleep knowing I was next to him. I had this really strange feeling. Like..sophomore year all over again. This time I can't tell him about my feelings because I don't want to have that feeling of doubt anymore.
Archie POV
There I was, sitting on Betty Cooper's bed with my arm around her. I kept trying to steal glances at her but I could tell she was really deep in her thoughts. Part me of wanted to believe it was about the baby but the other part of me thought I knew what it was about. "Are you over Jughead?" I blurted out. She looked up at me in shock. "Um well it's pretty hard to get over someone you loved." She sighed. I don't know why but I felt something break inside of me. "Do you still love him?" I asked her again. "As a friend yes but as more I'm trying not to." She admitted. Why did I care so much? "Betty.." I whispered removing my arm from around her. I wanted her. I don't know why. "Yeah?" She asked. She's not over Jughead the time isn't right. "I'll see you tomorrow." I got up and paced to Polly's bed.
