Too Hard To Find (Book One)

What Is It?

Veronica's POV

The whole day went on with everybody looking at me and whispering behind my back. I just rolled me eyes and shrugged it off because I don't give a shit what other people think. I may be only seventeen, and pregnant, but I don't care.

After school Jughead and I went to Pop's went for a milkshake.

"Are you sure you're okay, after earlier?" I nodded.

"I'm fine, Jug. I promise. It's a couple people at a highschool being highschool teenagers." I said. Honestly I'm not fine. I'm still a little upset. I mean, I used bestfriends with Betty and she would never do that. But now that I think about it, was she even my friend?

"Are you sure? You seemed a little upset all day, and you still do right now." He said.

"I said I'm fine, Jughead!" I said getting a little angry. I immediately felt like crying after saying that. "I'm sorry." I said and put my face in my hands.

"Hey, hey no." He came over and sat next to me. He removed my hands from my face and smiled. "You're fine. You're perfect. I just want you to tell me what's wrong." He said. I sighed.

"Just, I thought I knew Betty better. I never thought, even if we weren't friends anymore, that she would do something like that. And I don't even know what I did to hurt her. I mean, I do, but I don't understand why it's such a big deal." I admitted.

"She's jealous that we're the better couple."

"Jug, that's not funny."

"Okay, I'm sorry. Don't listen to her or anybody else. If you'd want we could stay home tomorrow and not go to school. We can just take the day off." He said.

"But we just got back yesterday. We don't need to--"

"I insist. Besides, you look stressed and it's not good." I smiled.

"Thank you, Jughead." He smiled.

"You're welcome." He said and pulled me closer to him.

"I love you." I mumbled.

"I love you, too." He said and kissed my head. I smiled and layed my head on his shoulder.
***
I woke up the next morning in Jughead's arms. I smiled to myself. I love him, and I'm glad I'm with him, and im glad im pregnant with his baby.

"You just can't keep a straight face when you're with me, can you?" I rolled my eyes.

"When did you wake up?" I asked.

"About an hour ago." He said.

"Why didn't you wake me up? And why didn't you get out of bed?"

"One answer for both if those questions, you were too adorable and peaceful."

"Yeah, okay.".

"Yeah, you're right. You're adorable all the time." I felt my face heat up.

"Stop!" I said. He chuckled.

"You love me."

"Eh, maybe." I said.

"No, you love me." I smiled.

"Yes, I do." I said sadly.

"Like I said. You love me. You always will love me."

"And you love me."

"Yes, I do." He said and leaned over to kiss me. It was soft and gentle.

"We should get around for the day." I said.

"Why? We aren't going to school. We can just stay in bed and cuddle." He said. I'm shocked.

"Jughead Jones cuddling? Wow, that's knew." I said.

"Don't be so surprised." He said. Okay I gotta ask this now.

"Okay, I'm just wondering, did you ever cuddle with Betty?" I asked. I really wanna know.

"Mmm, not really. Not that I remember. She probably did when I was asleep." He said looking at me. I smiled even more knowing that's what I do.

"I'm asleep when I do that." I slightly lied.

"Mmmhmm. Keep lying to me." He said. I rolled my eyes.

"I'm just gonna get out of bed then." I said wiggling out of his arms and got off the the bed.

"No, come back. I miss you!" He said. I smiled back at him.

"You don't want me." I said.

"Yes, I do." He complained

"You are such a child." He smiled.

"I know." I sighed and laying next to him again. He pulled me closer as I just started at the ceiling.

"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Mmhmm." I hummed.

"What are you thinking about?" He aksed. I sighed.

"Just Betty and how much she's changed. I just can't stop thinking about her. I wanna know what's going on in her life. I wanna know why she's like this." I told him.

"Hey, don't think to much about it. I'm not saying that you can't. Just don't spend all of your time thinking about it." I nodded.

"Yeah, I know. And I won't, I promise." I told him.

"Good."
