Trust Issues

Chapter Six

Jughead's POV

I think I'm slowly falling for this person... I don't know what it is, but I just have this feeling of wanting to keep her safe from the hurt of others. This also gets me thinking about how I treat Veronica. I treat her so poorly just because I hate her father. But she is his daughter. But is that a good excuse? Yes, yes it is.

J: Wish me luck

I: For what?

J: I'm going to break up with my girlfriend today. She's either going to act really good about it or really bad about it.

I: I'm sure it'll be fine

J: You don't know her like I do

I: Well then, good luck

I chuckled.

J: Thanks, I'll need it

I then texted Betty.

Betty

J: Can you come over? I need to talk to you

B: Sure, when?

J: Right now. It's important

B: I'll be there in ten minutes

I sighed and put my phone down. She got here about ten minutes later. With the small knock on the door, I immediately felt horrible already. I don't want to hurt her, but if I shouldn't keep this going if I don't feel anything anymore, right? She also seems like she's not happy either. There was another knock, but it was little louder. I quickly got up and answered it. It was Betty. She smiled at me. I weakly smiled back.

"Oh," I muttered and let her in. I shut the door after her.

"What did you need to talk about?" She asked. I sighed and looked at her. "What?" She asked. I looked down. "Jug, what is it?"

"I-I can't do this anymore." I said quietly. She looked confused.

"You can't do what anymore?" She asked. I sighed again. "Juggie--"

"Us! I'm not feeling what we used to have anymore. I'm not feeling the love." It just stayed quiet. I sighed. "Look, I'm sorry, Betty. I just--" she cut me off.

"No, no... although this does hurt, I agree." I looked at her, shocked. "I've been thinking the same thing. Can we just stay friends then?" She asked.

"Uhh, yeah okay." I stuttered. She then hugged me. I'm a little confused right now. Then she left.

J: She agreed

J: She said she agreed that we didn't have the love we had before.

I: Well, that's good isn't it?

J: I think so. I mean, she looked hurt, too
