her last words

trigger warning.
suicide , mention of self-harm, mention of bullying.
this is a very triggering topic. pls read at own risk 🥺

Betty Cooper
It wasn't getting better. Archie had left me, Veronica had turned away from me. All I had was Jughead.

Not saying that Jughead was here but he was always canceling on me. For the Serpents. Or for Toni. But then again, why would he care?

Everyone at school hates me. I don't fit in. I have no friends. I keep every fucking thing bottled up. Long sleeves. Even during summer. Jughead didn't pay enough attention to realise.

I was ready. It's not like anyone would care. I don't matter. If anyone would care a little bit, it might be Jughead. But I've tried to fit in. It didn't work. Riverdale's 'perfect girl next-door' isn't perfect. I'm the opposite of it.

I get anonymous messages everyday telling me it wouldn't matter if I go anyway. So why not? I roll my sleeves up and stare at the new and faded red lines on my arm. I sigh and sit down at my vanity, grab a pen and paper. 

I should at least give Jughead and my mom some closure. If they care at all. My shaking hands manage to write them both a letter. I grab the rope that had been stored in my attic. I stood on a chair and my breath was cut.

Alice Cooper
I found out what was happening to my daughter today. I found out I was her only 'friend'. I decided to take her out tonight. Although our plans were changed.

I walked into Betty's room and fell over. Not tripped. I fell over. At the sight of my daughter. Skin pale and face bare. Tears streamed down my face.

"B-B-Be-tty." I whispered.

I managed to get out. My daughter felt that this was they right way. Ever since Polly was pregnant and ran off, I had softened. Hal left after Polly so it was just us.

I grabbed her phone and went to her contacts. I clicked on 'Romeo 🥺🥰' as Jughead and called him.

"Betty? What is it?" He huffed. Mad almost.

"I-I-I Jughead." I sobbed.

"Fucks sake Betty. I'm at a Serpent Meeting." He growled.

"Jughead." I said again.

"Mrs Cooper?" He asked.

"B-Betty, she didn- isn't here."

"She's probably at Pops."

"I mean- Jughead she- suicided." I sobbed.

I heard a long pause.

"Alice, are you serious. Why would you lie about such a thing." He sighed.

"Fine." I sobbed.

I ended the call with Jughead. I wish I could have helped my baby. She didn't deserve this. She deserved much more than I gave her. I looked on her bed. I saw two notes. One to me and one to Jughead.

I carefully opened mine.

'Dear Mom,
I'm so sorry Mom, but this world is just not my place. I've tried for so long to try to fix this and fit in, I've come to realize this world's full of sin
There's nothing for me here, I'm just a waste of space
I've got no reason to stay here with this awful race

It's a disgrace, I was misplaced
Born in the wrong time and in the wrong place
It's okay though, 'cause you'll see me soon
You'll know when your time has come, just look at the moon

As it shines bright throughout the night
And remember everyone's facing their own fight
But I can't deal with the pain, I'm not a fighter
You'll make it through the night, just hug your pillow tighter

So let the world know, that I died in vain
'Cause the world around me, is the one to blame
And I know in a year, you'll forget I'm gone
'Cause I'm not really something to be dwelled on

That's what they used to tell me, all those kids at school
So I'm going by the law, "majority rules"
My presence on this earth is not needed any longer
And if anything, I hope this makes you stronger

You're the best friend that I ever had
It's such a shame I had to make you so very sad
But just remember that you meant everything to me
And to my heart, you're the only one that held the key

Now it's time to go, I'm running out of space to write
And yes I lost my fight, but please just hold on tight
I'm watching over you from the clouds above
And sending down the purest and whitest dove

To watch over you, and be my helpful eye
So this is it, world, goodbye.'

Tears fell onto the note and I closed it. How did I not realise sooner. I held the note to my heart. I thought why Jughead wasn't happy. I didn't know why. But he was being an ass. I can't believe he though I would lie about it.

Jughead Jones
Betty was being so clingy lately. It was so fucking annoying. Alice lied to me about Betty's suicide. She has no reason to. It's bullshit.

But I wasn't just about to not go check on her. So I pulled up infront of the Cooper house. I walk to Betty's window and climb up the ladder. As I reach the top I see the worst thing ever. My Juliet, hanging from a rope. Alice Cooper, sitting on her bed sobbing.

My breath shortened and I started sobbing. She was gone. Forever. I went down the ladder and knocked on the door. A few minutes later, a tear stained face, alice cooper appears.

"i-i-i'm so-" i started.

"don't be." she sniffled

"she wrote something for you."

I sighed and went to her room. The second I did, I broke down. I could smell her scent. I saw the note on her bed. I carefully open it.

"Dear Jughead,
I'm sorry. I'm no longer needed here. I'm sorry I've been so clingy lately I just didn't want for you to leave too. Just like Archie and Veronica. I love you, Romeo. Please move on. I'm gone. You deserve happiness. Just don't forget me. You are my soulmate. I get why you would wanna hang out with Toni instead of going on the dates we planned. Everyone eventually gets tired of me. She's way prettier. If you ever want to talk to me, look up at the moon. I love you so much J. you will forever have my heart. go to college. get a writing job. have kids. move on.
- elizabeth cooper ♡"

I burst out in tears and realised it was my fault. It was all our faults. and we have to deal with the empty hearts. i'll never love someone the way i love you betts. you'll always be the juliet to my romeo. no one can compare.
