Veronica's POV

I woke up in one of Cheryl's and Toni's extra rooms. I got up and walked downstairs. Cheryl and Toni were in the kitchen. They smiled at me.

"Hey, V!" Cheryl said. I tiredly smiled back.

"Hi, guys." I said.

"You Okay, Veronica?" Toni asked. I nodded.

"Yeah, I'm just tired, that's all." I told her.

"You try sleeping with Cheryl! She fucking kicks me all night." Toni said.

"I think I'm good." I laughed.

"By the way, Jughead called us. And he came over a little after you fell asleep." Cheryl said. I looked at her.

"He did? What time did I go to bed?" I muttered.

"At like ten. You out like a fucking light." Toni said slightly laughing. I rolled my eyes.

"Okay, well, what did Jughead say?" I asked

"He was wondering why you seemed so upset earlier. I told him what was happening." Cheryl said. "You did what?"

"He was concerned, Veronica. After I told him he wanted to see you. We told him you were asleep. He insisted on seeing you anyways. We let him in and went to find you sleeping." Cheryl said.

"You two were adorable though." Toni said. Both Cheryl and I looked at her.

"What?" I asked.

"He fell asleep with you for a bit. I walked by the room and he was asleep and you were cuddled upto him." She said.

"You've got Jughead Jones to cuddle?" Cheryl said. "He doesn't seem like the type to do that." I smiled and shrugged.

"I guess I'm just special." I said. The two girls just smiled at me. "Speaking of which I should go. I want to go see him." I said.

"He might not be there. The boys were here with him when he came here." Toni said.

"I'll surprise him." I said and started walking off.

"Don't do anything stupid! You're still pregnant after all." Toni said.

"I wasn't planning too!" I yell and I walked out of the front door.

When I got to his trailer it was empty. Toni was right. I waited a bit before going out to get food. I went to Pop's.

Once I got to Pop's I ordered food and sat in a booth and waited. The bell on Pop's door chimed. I looked up to see who it was. What the fuck?! When did he get back? Where did he even go in the first place? Why is he here? He started walking over to me. He stood next to the booth and looked down at me. I slightly glared at him.

"Hey, Ronnie! Long time, no see?" He said and sat across from me. I just looked at him for a second.

"Where have you been?" I asked really wanting to know.

"I've been around." He said with his charming smile.

"Well, why are you back?" I asked.

"Can't I just came back to this town without being questioned?" He asked. "Besides, I wanted to see my baby again." He reached over to grab my hand. I quickly pulled my hand away. I stood up.

"I think I'm gonna go now." I said.

"After I just got here? Why dont you stay and we can chat for a bit, Ronnie." He said and stood up to. He was blocking my way so I couldn't pass him.

"Archie, I'm with someone else. You can't keep calling me that." I told him. He looked at me kind of angrily or annoyed or... both.

"What? Who are you with?" He asked. I shook my head.

"No... nobody. I really have to go." I said walking passed him and out of Pop's. I quickly walked all the way back to the Southside. I got to Jughead's trailer, and right before I was about to go inside someone said something.

"Jughead's trailer, really? Is that who you're with?" I turned around and saw Archie standing there.

"Archie, what the hell? Are you following me?" I asked, but he completely dismissed my question.

"Are you fucking Jughead?" He asked. I just looked at him. He started walking over to me. I quickly opened the door to the trailer. He pushed me inside and walked in to. I looked up at him as he shut the door and started walking over to me. I started fearing for my life.

"Archie, what are... what are you doing?" I asked.

"I know you still love me, Ronnie. I know you want me still." He said. He had backed me up against the wall and was standing right in front of me. He moved a strand of hair behind my ear. I started to feel really uncomfortable.

"Archie, I'm with somebody else. You can't do this." I said my voice was starting to shake a little.

"You just missed me. I know you did." He dragged me to the room and threw me on the bed.

"Archie, what are you doing? This isn't you!" I said. He chuckled and stood in front of the bed.

"Oh, Ronnie, I've changed. So much. You see, while I was gone something hit me. I just woke up one morning and everything was different. There was also something telling me to come back home, to see my girl, and so I did. Now I find out you're with someone else. And its Jughead. You would really picked Jughead over me? Ronnie, you can do so much better than him. And I'm gonna show you that you can right now." He said climbing on the bed and forced me down. I felt my eyes fill up with tears. I started struggling to fight against him. He started to undress me. He struggled, but he got to a point. I tried pushing him off of me and twisting and turning, but it was no use. I tried screaming for help, hoping somebody in the trailer park would here me. He started to force me to kiss him. I was crying at this point. Then the door opened and Archie was pulled off of me. He was pulled out the door and I was brought into an embrace by two sets of arms. It was Cheryl and Toni. I heard yelling and shouting from outside.

"Shhh. Shhh." They both kept saying. "You're fine. You're fine." They would tell me. I finally calmed down enough to say something.

"Whe... where's J... jug... Jughead?" I asked.

"He's outside with Archie." Toni said softly. The tears still falling out if my eyes, I got up. "Veronica, where are you going?" I walked out if the room and once I git to the small living room, I saw Jughead leaning up against the door. He looked at me and stood up straight. I walked over to him and hugged him.

"Oh, Jughead." I said and he tightly wrapped his arms around me. I continued to cry.

"Shhh, princess. Shhh. You're safe now." He said, pulling me impossibly closer. I pulled away a little and looked at him. He was all beat and his lip way bleeding.

"Jug, you're hurt." I said and wiped a few tears which more kept falling out of my eyes so it was no use in wiping them. He shook his head.

"I'm fine, okay? I promise. Let's just go lay down. Let's just forget about this mess, okay?" He said and I nodded. He picked me up and carried me back to the room. Cheryl and Toni were standing by the bed now. They looked at us as we walked in.

"How are you feeling, Veronica?" Cheryl said. I shrugged and Jughead put me down on the bed.

"I'm fine, I guess. Juggie and I were just going to lay down for a bit." I said and he sat next to me. I looked at him and was taking off his shirt. I looked back at the girls. They nodded.

"Okay, We'll leave. Call it you need anything." Toni said. I nodded and layed down. Jughead did too, wrapped his arms around me  and pulled me closer to him.

"How are you feeling?" He asked. I just sighed.

"I just want to forget whatever had happened." I said.

"Okay." He said.

"Adorable." We heard from the door. I looked over and saw Cheryl and Toni standing there.

"Will you two get out of here!?" I yelled and they ran away from the door laughing and giggling. I layed my head back down and closed my eyes. I eventually fell asleep.
