If I Could ; a Jeronica Story

Fizzle Rocks

I let out a small sigh and then reveal the packets of Fizzle Rocks to Jughead that Betty found inside of the medicine cabinet located in the main bathroom. It didn't take a genius to figure out these were Jugheads as my father or mother wouldn't be brainless enough to hide them in a darn medicine cabinet. I don't want to upset Jughead so I give it a gentle approach.

"Jughead.. Why are you taking Fizzle Rocks.. Please don't lie to me I know these are yours" I look into his eyes and then place the packets back down beside me

His eyes shift between the packets and my eyes, they finally settle back on me. Jugheads eyes become slightly glossy and his breath becomes heavier, please don't freak out on me Jughead Jones.

"I- I got them from your father a little while back.. he recommended them to me when I first took up football" he runs one hand through his hair "It was supposed to enhance my game performance, I got really - really stressed halfway through the season Veronica and I uh.. I guess I misused them"

He hesitates a bit and then swallows his feelings back down his throat, continuing his explanation.

"Sometimes I just feel so lost and I don't know what to do anymore" his voice cracks as pain re-enters his system "I'm sorry Ron"

My heart aches for him, I went through a similar patch where I was just so lost and helpless with nobody to guide me through it. Jughead needs me right now, as his friend, and I'm going to be there for him no matter what it takes. I don't want to show it in front of him but I'm silently breaking for him, he's such a strong and emotionless guy on the outside but he's secretly hurting not allowing anybody in on his real feelings and struggles.

"Jughead, it's ok I'm not judging you nor am I disappointed" I place my hand on his knee and he looks up at me "From now on we need to be honest with each other no matter what"

"I really appreciate you Ronnie" he shoots a small smile at me, flashing his deep blue eyes at me

"I appreciate you too Juggie" I smile back at him, still looking into his eyes

The glossiness of his eyes fade away, reminding me of the gentle tide like an ocean, an ocean the shade of his eyes. How have I never noticed how gorgeous and deeply piercing his eyes are.. I could get lost in them - I am getting lost in them. I begin to shift down to his lips, he's driving me crazy, I can't tame myself any longer.

I move one hand from his knee and onto his cheek, cupping it gently while stroking it with my thumb. I lean over and dive onto his lips, my mouth taking control over his. He gently pulls away and whispers while looking into my eyes.

"Veronica.."

He pulls me back in and reconnects his lips with mine. My hands moving to his neck, wrapping my arms around the defined muscles on his neck. He slowly pulls away from the kiss once more, our faces just inches apart, I can feel him smiling against me before he goes back in for more.

This time round has more passion, our lips moving together in a smooth motion that feels so natural as if we've been doing so for a long time. I move one of my hands from his neck and into his beautifully dark hair as it glides through continuously. My tongue presses against his bottom lip, seeking for invite into his mouth until he lets me in. We eventually pull away after losing breath, both of us smiling gently with our eyes closed.

"Who knew Jughead was so experienced hm?" I flirtatiously smile at him with a slight wink

"Same goes for you Veronica Lodge" he smirks back at me "I must say though - I thought you didn't like me in that way"

I guess this whole time I really was falling for Jughead Jones, who would have guessed, certainly not me. They say opposites attract, but do they really. Cliques don't cross pollinate, they are just destined to fall a part right?

"Well to be honest I didn't think I did either" I fall back onto his bed, staring at the ceiling

"So.. What happens now Ron?" he falls back onto the bed too and stares at the ceiling with me

"I'm not actually sure.." I turn over to face him "We just wait and see I suppose"

I slowly get up from the bed, flashing a cute smile at him before I leave his bedroom. A Huge Part of me wanted to go back and say that we should Try us out, but of course I didn't do that because I never do what my heart tells me, I never do what I want. Maybe it was too soon, maybe we aren't meant to be. But maybe we are, I guess we really do just have to wait and see.
