Too Hard To Find (Book One)

Stay With Me

Veronica's POV

About an hour later Jughead hadn't came yet so I texted him.

❤Juggie❤

V: Are you still coming?

I waited a good five minutes. No answer.

V: Did you forget about me?

I giggled to myself thinking he had actually forgot about me.

There was still no answer ten minutes later.

V: Jughead? Are you okay?

I sent that then immediately got a call from Jughead's phone.

"Jug? Are you Okay? You haven't answered any of my messages. Where are you?" I asked.

"Not Jughead." It was Kevin.

"Kevin? Why do you have Jughead's phone?"

"Get to the hospital. Now! I'll explain when you get here." He said and hung up. He sounded worried. I quickly drove to the hospital. When I got there Kevin immediately found me. "Kevin what happened?" I asked. "It's  Jughead."

~~~~~

"Kevin, I need you to tell me. What the hell happened?" I asked demandingly. He sighed. "Well, Jughead was calling me. One moment was fine then the next. Oh, God!" He said. "Kevin! Tell me!"

Jughead's POV

I was getting ready to go to Pop's to meet Veronica and tell her about how and why I got suspended. And how long. I called Kevin to see if Veronica had left the school and she had. I walked outside, still on the phone with him. I was about to hang up when I heard a really loud truck. I turned my head to see it coming straight towards me. "What the hell?" I muttered.

"What is it?" Kevin asked.

"I don't know." My eyes widened ad I saw something be stuck out the window.

Veronica's POV

"Then, I heard three or four gun shots and I rushed to the trailer park." I slowly sat down with tears in my eyes.  "Oh, my God." I whispered. Kevin sat down next to me and pulled me into a hug. "I'm sure he'll be fine, Ronnie." He said reassuringly. "Do we know who did it?" I asked. "No, there was nobody there when I got there. He was just lying on the ground with blood coming out of him." "God, Kev! I don't want to hear that." I said still crying. "Right. Sorry." He said pulling me into another hug. After a few minutes I pushed him away. "Where is he?" I asked. "Huh?" "Where is Jughead?!" I asked. "He's in surgery." "I need to see him." "You can't, Veronica." He held me tightly so wouldn't be able to move. "He'll be fine. He's gonna get through." "And what if he doesn't? What if he dies and leaves me? Leaves his baby!" I then realized I hadn't told Kevin yet. "His baby?" He pulled me out of the hug and kept his hands on my shoulders. "What do you mean by his baby?" He asked. I looked down. "I'm pregnant, Kevin. With his baby. It's why Sweet Pea broke up with me. Even though everything happened before the two of us got together." I mumbled. Then I realized something. "What do you mean everything happened before?" He asked. "I think I know who did this." I said quickly standing up. "Kevin, I'll be back later. I have to go deal with something." I said quickly leaving the hospital and went to the trailer park.

I was standing right outside of one. I didn't even bother knocking I just went straight inside. When I did I found him sitting on the sofa with a girl on his lap and kissing him. The girl looked oddly familiar with her blonde hair up and nice ponytail. I smiled. "Well," they both jumped and looked at me. "Looks like you moved on fast, didn't you?" I said. "Veronica, what the hell?" Sweet Pea questioned. "I would like to ask you a quick question." He smirked and stood up. "Yeah, what is it?" He asked. I made sure to make it look like I wasn't scared and though I slightly was. "Did you shoot Jughead?" I asked just to get it done and over with. "What if I did?" He asked. "You wouldn't be able to do nothing about it." "Just answer the damn question." Betty stood up right next to him. "Veronica, what are you doing here?" She asked. I looked at her. "I could ask you the same thing, but seeing as I'm not apart of either of your lives anymore I don't care. Now," I said looking back at Sweet Pea. "Did you try and kill Jughead?" I asked more demandingly. He put his face real close to mine. "No." He said. "Now I would like if you would leave." I glared at him. "Gladly." I said and left, making my way back to the hospital.
