This takes place after that nasty B*rchie kiss that we all had to witness.

Betty Pov:
I had to tell Jug about the kiss. I really didn't want to. I was scared of how he would react. But I love him, and he deserves to know the truth. I also don't want him finding out from someone else, so I was going to tell him that day. I told Jug to meet me in our room. I sat on our bed, my leg bouncing as a nervous habit. Jug knocked gently on the door frame, not wanting to startle me, seeing how nervous I was. "Betts, you okay? You're shaking.". I took a deep, shaky breath before looking into his eyes. Tears began clogging my vision. I shook my head, wiping my face before speaking. "Jug, promise you won't be mad. Please.".

Even though he deserved to be mad at what I was about to tell him, he nodded his head slowly. You could see the look of worry and confusion on his face. God, I don't wanna hurt him. Well, here goes. "Jug, I-I kissed Archie.". I watched Jug's face drop as he looked both heartbroken and angry. "Before you say anything, please let me explain, okay? P-please.". I bit my lip, trying my hardest not to break down. Jug let out a heavy sigh, waving his hand rather aggressively as a sign for me to continue.

"I-I was vulnerable. We had just had a fight, and I was really hurt. Veronica and Archie has just fought, too. I went to the rehearsal before the Variety Show, a-and it just happened. It was all in the moment. Then we met up at the bunker, but I SWEAR, we didn't have sex. We just laid on the cott, confused at what we were feeling. I mean, I had just kissed my childhood crush. We went back another night after having time to think about everything, and I told him that I love YOU, Jughead.And only y-you. Can-Will you forgive me?".

Tears were trailing down both of our faces. I had broken his heart, and I could see it in his eyes. He stayed silent, looking down into his lap as he let a tear fall. "I-I don't understand. I do, but I don't. And I'm glad that you broke it off with him. But why would you kiss him? Betty, we were still together!".

Jughead Pov:
I was upset, heartbroken, angry, confused, and overwhelmed with this whole new situation that had been revealed to me. Betty kissed my best friend. My best friend kissed my girlfriend! "J-Jug, please. Try to understand. It was heat of the m-moment and it caused confusion, but I realized that I don't love Archie. It was just the fact that I used to like him, a lot, and had never truly confronted that part of my childhood. I love YOU. Please. Please say something.". She reached up to cup my cheeks. I reluctantly let her. As she caressed my cheeks while I silently cried, I realized what needed to be done.

I sighed. "Betts. I can forgive you, but it'll take time to trust you again. I'm only doing this be-because I can't lose you. I love you, Betty. You're the light and love of my life, and I don't think I could survive without you. What you did really hurt, but at least you came to your senses before anything serious happened.". She smiled timidly. "Really? Y-you're not going to leave me? I deserve it.". I put my hands over hers and got closer to her. "No. You realized your mistake. People make mistakes, Betty. What's important is that you didn't go through with it.".

Betty sobbed harder. "Can-can I kiss you?". I chuckled slightly. "Yes. You're still my girlfriend, aren't you?". She giggled a little as we both leaned in for a soft, love-filled kiss. I felt a spark, and I knew I had made the right decision with Betty. But I had one thing left to take care of. There was still anger brewing inside of me, and I had one way to relieve it. I pulled away, my forehead resting on hers. I took her hands in mine and looked once more into her eyes. "Thank you for telling me, Betty. This can be our secret. I forgive you. But there's one thing left for me to do.

She nodded as I got up and left the room. I grabbed something from my dad's office safe, and texted Archie to meet me by Sweetwater River. He responded quickly, saying that he was on his way. I walked speedily, wanting to arrive before he did. It was midnight, nobody was around, and everything was serene for the time being. I turned around as I heard Archie running down the path towards me. "Hey Bro, what's up? What's wrong?". I smiled kindly at him. "Nothing, Arch! Just come over here. I wanna ask you something!". Confused, he made his way over.

"What's your question, and why couldn't you just text me?", he asked. "I want to see your reaction when I ask.". I laughed half-heartedly before continuing. "Did you kiss Betty?". He froze, clearly in a state of panic. "Hmm, yeah interesting. Thought it would stay a secret, did you? Ha! No, Betty told me ALL about it. How you didn't even want to stop meeting in secret and SHE had to break it off? Some best friend you are.", I snapped. I was pissed, but I was going to have my moment of triumph over Archie soon enough. Archie looked taken aback. "J-Jug, I'm really sorry, Bro. It was r-really confusing for the both of us! You've gotta believe me.".

I rolled my eyes. "Bullshit! It was confusing for Betty because she used to like you! But what did you do? Huh? YOU REJECTED HER! And then you pretend to like her again?! What a nerve.". I reached into my back pocket before looking back up at him. "Go to Hell, Archibald.". Without any hesitation, I brought my hand that was behind my back out and shot Archie right between the eyes with my dad's pistol. I was tired of Archie being a womanizer, and playing with people's feelings, including mine! He messed with me, and he wasn't going to mess with anyone ever again. Yes, I would miss my ex-best friend, but I was more at peace now that he was gone. Him kissing Betty was the last straw.

🤭 Hope y'all liked this one. I enjoyed making Archie suffer :) Feedback is always appreciated! 💜
