Too Hard To Find (Book One)

Dead or Alive

Veronica's POV

He's been in the hospital for a day now and it's hard. I don't know how much longer I can do it.

Cheryl and Toni are with me like always. They haven't really left my side like I haven't left Jughead's side. Kevin left to go get food. I sighed.

"Veronica, are you okay?" Toni asked. I nodded. "I'm fine." I said. "Don't lie. We know your scared and upset." Cheryl said. I looked at them. "If you know then why ask?" I asked annoyed. Then Betty walked in.

"Has Juggie woken up yet?" She asked. I rolled my eyes. "No, he hasn't, physco baby." Toni said. I smiled. "Well, notify me when he does." She said. "Why on Earth would we do that?" Cheryl asked. "Because we know he would want to see me when he's wakes up. He loves me." I really wanted to punch her right there, but I couldn't because one She walked right out. And two I don't feel like hurting someone cause I know Jughead wouldn't want me to do that even if I was mad or annoyed with the person.

He shifted. I looked at him. "Jughead?" I whispered. "Is he waking up?" Toni asked. I shrugged. "I don't know, but he moved." I said. His eyes opened and he started to look around the room. "What the hell happened?" I groaned. He started to sit up, and I could tell he was in pain. "Jughead, don't move." I said stopping him. "I'm fine. What happened?" He asked. "You were shot, Jug." I said. "Oh, I remember. I was on the phone with... Kevin. I think." He said. I smiled. "Thank, god." I mumbled. "What?" He asked. I shook my head. "Nothing. Nothing at all." I said.

"Okay, guys. I'm back with the food!" I turned back and saw Kevin walking in. "Also, Betty's in the waiting room." He said looking over at Cheryl and Toni. "Kevin." Cheryl said. "What?" He asked. He had an slightly confused smile on his face. "Kevin, look." He looked over at Jughead. "He's awake?" He asked. "What does is look like?" Jughead asked. "I'm not lying on the ground anymore am I?" He asked. My smile went away. I guess Jughead noticed this. "Hey, I'm sorry." He said and grabbed my hand which was setting on the hospital bed right next to his hand. I looked at him. "It's fine. I just don't want to hear no more about it, that's all." I said. "Alright." He said. "Come here." He said. "What?" "Come here." "Why?" "Can I not get a kiss from my beautiful girlfriend." I smiled. "Stop!" I said. "Just kiss me." He said. I sighed and leaned over and kissed him. "I love you." He mumbled when we pulled apart. "I love you, too." I smiled. "Should we leave you two?" Toni asked. I looked back at her. I shrugged. "Well, the moment you leave, Betty's gonna think he's awake; which he is." I said. Cheryl smirked. "Not if another story is told." Oh, no!

Betty's POV

I was standing in the waiting room when Toni, Cheryl and Kevin walked out of Jughead's room. I smiled. "I'm guessing he's awake because Veronica's the only one in there?" I asked. They all three looked at me with sour faces. My heart dropped. "Betty... he's dead." Cheryl said. My eyes started to tear up. I ran over to the room and stood at the door to see Jughead's lifeless body and a very upset Veronica. She looked back at me, tears running down her face. "Oh, my god." I whispered and ran off crying.

I got to the trailer park and knocked on Sweet Pea's door. The tears still in my eyes. He opened the door. "Oh, Betty! What's wrong?" He asked in a worried tone. I looked up at him and smiled evilly . "It's done." I said. He  smirked. "Really?" He asked. "Yep! That nasty slut will be all alone with Jughead's baby." I told him. "Maybe she won't be able bare the thought of taking care of her dead boyfriends baby and abort it." He chuckled. "Or even better, herself to." I said. "Come here." He said pulling me into a passionate kiss. Not going on...
