Fresh start

Chapter 26

A/N: Just thought I'd let you know I've never been to NY so I don't know what shops or anything that is there.

It was crowded down every street. Betty and Veronica, who had their arms linked tightly together, were following Alice down the path, heading to all of Betty's favourite shops. "Do you miss living here?" Veronica asked, starting a conversation to distract Betty from the flashing cameras. "Sometimes, But I prefer our small town. It's easier, less crowded and I get to go to an actual school. Also I have you guys now." The blonde smiled as they walked inside one of the many building, instantly feeling the warm air surround them. "It's nice and warm in here." Veronica mumbled.

B and V began scanning the racks of clothes. Searching for their colour, style and size. Veronica pulled out a body cone black dress that had a small slit on the side. "Like?" She questioned, raising her eyebrow whilst holding the dress to frame her body. "That's made for you Ronnie." Betty said as she looked over at the girl before trailing her eyes back onto the rails.

Whilst Veronica continues to stack up dresses, skirts and crop tops onto her arm, Betty was still looking for something. It never took her this long to find something she liked. Betty sighed and Veronica noticed. She looked up at her friend who was intensely searching through piles with a puzzled expression. "Can't find anything? Want me to help?" Veronica asked and dropped her clothes into a basket, swinging it on her arm as she walked to her friend.

Veronica ended up finding Betty cute ripped overalls and a baby violet crop top. "What shop next? My mum said she'd get us in an hour so we have time for one more shop and then food." Betty said and held her bags onto her right arm whilst her left one was hooked around Veronica's. "Can we go to Victoria's secret?" Ronnie asked. Betty smirked and wiggles her eyebrows making her friend flash a shade of red. "You guys already doing the dirty this early into a relationship?" Betty smugly smiled. "No. God No. Not yet. I'm just preparing myself. I mean we make out a lot and I need to be ready." Veronica said, leading Betty to the glowing sign reading Victoria's secret. "So if he were to ask you tomorrow, would you say yes?" Betty questioned. Ronnie shrugged. "I have had a crush on him since forever, so probably. It's not like I'm a virgin so it wouldn't matter. I lost my virginity last year to Reggie mantle, we were drunk and at a party and it sort of just happened." She admitted. Betty was shocked. She could tell Veronica wasn't a virgin, but to Reggie Mantle, she was not expecting that. "I've never really done anything with boys." Betty said and followed Veronica to a shelf in the store. She tugged a black lace lingerie piece out, observing it. "Nothing? Really?" V repeated, raising her eyebrows as she looked over at Betty, next to her. "Well, Jughead has touched my boobs, but that's about it. His dad walked in, extremely awkward." B laughed, blushing a bit when she said Jughead's name. "You're worse then me, Girl. Guys like Jughead should have to wait to touch your golden body." Veronica smiled. "Well a little late now. He's already kissed all over my chest. But just for you I won't go loosing my V card the night he asks me to be his girlfriend." Betty said, looking over at Veronica who had held onto the pervious lingerie she had found before.

Betty pulled out a matching white lace set, and bit down on her lip. She liked it. But she couldn't buy it, at least not with her mothers card or fathers, they'd kill her if they ever found out she had brought something so revealing. "I'll buy it for you." Veronica suggested already knowing what her friend was thinking. Betty shrugged and titled her head. She'd feel bad if her friend brought her it instead of buying it herself. "I can't let you do that Veronica." Betty sighed, pursing her lips together and placing it back on the shelf. Veronica swiftly snatched it from the pile and Betty furrowed her eyebrows. "B, you've taken me to New York, the least I do is treat you to something." The raven haired girl smiled and walked towards the counter with Betty following behind.

Veronica paid what the money from her purse and handed the small pink bag to Betty. The two hooked arms again and walked out of the store and made their way towards a McDonald's. They both ordered cheeseburgers with cokes and sat down at a table hidden away in the corner.

Veronica smiled at Betty as she took a bite from her burger and hummed in delight. "Good but not as good as Pops." Betty giggled, and Veronica nodded in agreement. "Speaking of pops," Veronica began with a teasing smile displayed on her lips, "Guess who I found out are going on a date there?" She added and wiggles her eyebrows, Betty picked up that Veronica tended to do that a lot. "I don't know. Kevin and someone? Who is it?" Betty asked, now extremely curious. She never liked the idea of gossip before she had attended Riverdale high but once she was in school and had a few friends she realised that there wasn't a lot to talk about at their age except gossip, parties and relationships, it's not like the all had kids or jobs, well except for Betty of course. "Cheryl asked your friend, Toni Topaz." Veronica smirked, and sipped onto the paper straw that was slowly becoming soggy at the bottom of the cup. "No way. She never told me that." Betty gasped and pulled out her phone and rapidly hit her keyboard, Girl when were you going to tell me you were going out with Cheryl, I'm going to help you get ready for it. Betty pressed send and placed the phone back onto the table.

Veronica and Betty sat in the back of the car with Alice driving. Veronica had her head placed on Betty's shoulder and Betty had hers resting on Veronica's head. They both had their AirPod in listening to their playlists on shuffle. "This trip went quick." Betty whisper, sighing against Veronica's hair making a few strands drift in the wind. "I know but I had a lot of fun." Veronica replied, her eyes slowly closing. Betty hummed in agreement too tired to say another word before drifting off into a short sleep.

A/N: Word of advise, never write multiple fanfics at once. I keep forgetting what has happened so far and it annoys me.
