We all Need Someone to Save Us- Beronica

"Forever forged"

A/N: Quick update, to make up for being late last time and the really short chapter last time. Also, this is kinda short too but whatever.

*a few months later*

Betty's POV:

I've been dating Veronica for a couple months now and things have dramatically changed. After she had punched Archie at Pop's, the bullying died down when she was nearby. And she was always nearby. As for the depression, she never pushed, just told me that I could talk when I'm ready and she would be there to listen.

She is so supportive of me, it's kind of weird. It took a while to get used to her encouraging me to do things I want, nobody else has done that before. Not even Cheryl, she was too worried about our parents. 

I smile as I lay next to Veronica on the blanket she brought. The girl had decided to take me stargazing and here we were. I cuddled up into her arms and knew it was time. Preparing myself for the 'that is so horrible I am sorry's I knew I would get, sadly making me feel worse 'cause then I feel like a charity case, I spoke. "I'm ready." 

Veronica looked down at me, confused. "I'm sorry love, I must have missed something. You're ready for what?" I giggled at her confusion, but then got serious, "I'm ready to tell you what happened." Her body tensed up against mine in realization. "Oh." She said. 

I looked into her eyes and said, "Ar-Archie raped me. Everyone calls me a slut because he recorded me begging him to stop, but he made it sound like I was begging him to continue. I'm so sorry. I understand if you don't want me now that you know. You deserve so much better then some dirty, broken girl. But, I love you and I had to tell you because you needed to know. No, because I needed you to know."

Still laying in her arms, I watched her face as she processed what I had said. Then, instead of the 'I'm sorry' and 'that is horrible' I was expecting, she wrapped her arms around me, pulling me tight against her. She softly spoke into my ear, "Of course I still want you, Betty. Nothing could ever change that. You are not dirty. I love you so much. Don't worry I'm here now. Archie and those other boys will never lay another finger on you, I'll make sure of it. Thank you for trusting me."

Tears just leaked out of my eyes and my body shook, as I broke in her arms. Veronica is the most caring person I know, she makes me feel so safe. I love her so much. For once, my tears were happy ones. Happy because I had Veronica and I knew Veronica would never, ever hurt me.

"Sssshhh, I've got you love. It's okay. Let it all out." Her voice was so soft and tooth achingly sweet. So, I flipped around and kissed her, soft and slow. Everything else melted away, like it always did when I am kissing her. Everything, but the beautiful girl I am kissing. Everything, but the happiness and love in my heart.

Veronica POV:

Last night was amazing, even with the secrets revealed. Betty thinks I wouldn't want her after knowing that, but the opposite is true. If anything, I want her more. I want her to know what it is like to be loved and cared for. I want to protect her. I want to be with her and see all of the most amazing parts of her life. But, that doesn't mean I don't want to be there for the low points too.

So, I happily sit in her lap, pressing a kiss to her lips, in the break room. She may have baggage, but I love every part of it. I love every part of her. "You know I love every part of you, right?  No matter what happens, I'm gonna stick with you. B&V forever forged." I say. Her cheeks paint themselves a light pink and a shy smile appears on her lips. "Yeah, I love you too Ronnie. Forever forged." It's my turn to smile and we seal the deal with a kiss.

A/N: Thank you all for reading!!! I love this story, but sadly I fear it is coming to an end. I have maybe one chapter left. Have a gay day, all!!!
