Too Hard To Find (Book One)

Can't Happen Again...

Veronica's POV

I woke up the next morning in Jughead's bed. I looked over at Jughead who was still asleep. I sighed and sat up. I got up and put my clothes on. I went and sat on the couch. Why did I do this? I don't want to give him the wrong impression. I mean I do like him, but don't know if it's in the way he wants it. God this is so messed up! I'm messed up! Not to long after Jughead came out from the room. He had gotten everything, but his shirt on. I sighed trying not stare to long. "What are you starring at?" He asked. I didn't realised I was still starring. I quickly looked away. "Nothing I was thinking." About you when I really shouldn't be. He came and sat next to me. Okay I can't do it. "Hey we need to talk about last night." I said and looked at him. He looked at me. "Yea?" He questioned. "Look it was great I'm not gonna lie, it was, but I'm still with Archie and I know you and Betty--" He cut me off. "Are broken up. And are you and Archie even like together together?" He asked. I sighed. "I... I don't know all I know is... is that this can't happen again. At least for the time being. Okay?" I asked. "So your just gonna keep playing with my feelings like this?" He asked getting up and standing in front of me. "What no?!" I said. "Are you sure?" He asked. "Why are you getting so angry?" I asked. He sighed. "I... I don't know... look I'm sorry I've just been hiding my feelings and nows it's pissing me off for how long I didn't say anything." He said in a calm voice and sat back down next to me. "I'm sorry." He said looking from me to the ground. I grabbed his hand. He looked up from the ground, at our hands then to me. "It's okay. I get it, if you need to take it out on someone take it out on me, this is my fault anyways." He chuckled. "No, it's not you, it's just my anger getting the best of me." He said with a smile. I smiled back. "Okay." I said. "How about we go to Pop's, get something to eat and forgot all of this?" He asked. "That sounds like a great idea." I said. "Great. Let's get around." He said. "Well I'm gonna take a quick shower then." I said. "Okay that's fine with me." He said. "Okay."

I got in the shower purposely left the bathroom door unlocked sort of hoping he'd walk in. But at the same time hoped he didn't. Well he didn't walk in he only knocked on the door once.

When I was done and I was dressed he was sitting on couch on his phone. "Okay we can go now." I said messing with my damp hair. He stood up. "Okay." He said and we went to Pop's.

When we got there he ordered a burger and fries and I just ordered a small thing of fries. When I was done with my fries I was still hungry so I started taking his fries. When he finally noticed he moved them. "What th hell are you doing?" He asked. "Taking your food." I said. "Why eat your own." He said. "But mine are gone." I complained. "Well maybe you should have gotten more." He said. "But I haven't eaten anything all day." I complained again. "Well maybe that's because it's eight o'clock in the morning." He told me. I rolled my eyes. "Fine maybe I don't want your food." I said. He laughed a little. "Good." He said. "Asshole." I muttered. "I'm hurt." He said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes. "Okay, I'll be right back." I said. "Where are you going?" He asked. "Outside." I told him and walked outside.

Jughead's POV

I watched as Veroncia walked out of Pop's. I put my burger down once She was completely out. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I love her. I mean I can't tell her that it wouldn't change a thing. She will always be in love with Archie and there's no changing that. I looked out of the window to see if I could see her. She was standing with her arms crossed and starring off into the distance. She looked like She was in deep thought. Should I go out there or not? Er I think I'll go out there and talk to her.
