Too Hard To Find (Book Two)

Girls

Jugheads's POV

I woke up to yet another boring and horrible day. I miss her. I still think about her everyday. I know I was the one who messed up. I know it was me who drove her away and to breakup with me. I know it was all me, but I still miss her like fucking crazy. It's been two years. I don't know where she is or how she's doing. She's probably moved on to bigger and better things after leaving this stupid town. I just wasn't going to be apart of it.

I got around for the day and went to work. I work at Pop's. I have for like a year now. When I got there, it was somewhat empty. That's only because its seven in the morning. Just wait till about noon.

The bell on Pop's door opened and I looked up. It was Kevin, Cheryl and Toni. Cheryl and Kevin went and sat in a booth. Toni walked over to me.

"You look dead." She said and smiled. I laughed.

"I am." I said.

"You know what we want, right?" She asked. I nodded and she walked off. I looked over at them and they were talking.

Toni's POV

"Did you tell him?" Cheryl asked. I shook my head.

"I don't want to say something when she hasn't even asked Kevin. Cheryl, maybe one of us should try contacting her." I said. She sighed.

"Yeah, we will when we get home. Maybe telling him might not be good. It might get his hopes up." She said and I nodded. Then, Jughead came over to us.

Jughead's POV

When the day was over I went back to my trailer. In case you're wondering, I haven't been with anybody else after her. It just feels wrong. Even thinking about being with someone else feels wrong. She's the only one I've ever loved. I need to stop thinking about her! I need to get her out of my head! But I can't! And I don't think I'll ever be able too.

I decided to go to the Whyte Wyrm and loosen up a bit. I don't want to go alone and I want somebody to be able to cut me off just in case. I texted Toni.

Toni

J: Do you want to come to Whytr Wyrm with me?

T: Sure. Cheryl's out anyways.

J: Great. Meet you there?

T: Yeah

By the time she got here I was three drinks in. We just talked and everything. After about an hour and a half everything was a blur.

~~~~~

I woke up the next morning in my own room. I looked at my phone. Shit! I'm late. I then felt a small hand in my shoulder.

"Hi." A girl said. Wait, what the fuck?! I quickly got up. She just continued smiling. "Where are you going?" She asked.

"Work." I said and started getting around.

"Why? Can't you just stay here?" She asked and stood up. I shook my head.

"No, I would like to keep my job. You can show yourself out." I said and left.

When I got to Pop's it was nine and I had a major headache. After about an hour Toni walked in by herself. I sighed and quickly walked over to her.

"Hey, Toni! Can I talk to you for a second?" I asked. She looked at me and nodded.

"Yeah, but make it quick. I need to just get food and go." She said.

"Okay, what happened last night?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" She asked.

"Did you know I went home with a girl?" I asked and she nodded.

"Yeah, I let it happen." She told me.

"Why? Toni, you were supposed to keep me from getting too drunk and doing that." I said. She sighed.

"Jughead, you've got to get over her. It's been two years. You have to understand, she might not be coming back. Not even to mine and Cheryl's wedding. Well, we don't know for sure. She hasn't texted Kevin back." She said.

"Wait, you guys invited her?" I asked. She nodded.

"I wasn't supposed to tell you, but yeah. She might not come. We didn't want to tell you and get your hopes up." She said and I nodded.

"Yeah, yeah. I don't even know this girl though." I said.

"I know that. But you've got to get over her." She said. I sighed.

"Toni, you remember how hurt you were. She was your bestfriend and when she left you were broken." I told her.

"Hey! This isn't about me. I've gotten over it. You haven't. You need to move on with your life, Jughead." She said and quickly left. I sighed. I agree with her. I have to get over her. She's got her own life now, and I'm just not apart of it. I've got to understand that. There's nothing I can do. She did say they invited her, but like Toni said, she hasn't even responded so she might not even show up. I'm not gonna be able to do this.
