Vughead One-shots

Happier

Warning this is a very long chapter
Jughead's POV

I can't stand seeing them together. But, it's my fault. It's my fault she left. I did it to myself. She left because of a stupid decision I made. Why can't I ever just keep my mouth shut?

Archie and Veronica. My, supposed, bestfriend and ex-girlfriend. Only a month we've been apart and she's already moved on. But she looks so happy with him. Happier than she was with me. Seeing them anywhere together hurts.

I'm watching them, standing by her locker from across the hall. She's smiling. And even though it hurts seeing them together, it still makes me smile whenever she does. Even when I'm not the reason. Her smile lights up a whole room. She walks into a room and all eyes go on her.

I quickly walked off before either of them could notice me. That's when I ran into Toni, Fangs, and Sweet Pea.

"Hey, Jughead, we're going to Pops after school," she said. "Would you like to come with?"

"Uhh, sure I guess so. I'm gonna get to class," I said and walked off.

As always I sat in the back just be away from people. The bell rang and that's when people started crowding in. I looked up. Fuck I forgot. Veronica's in this class too. She used to sit back here with me, but after we broke up she moved.

I walked into the cafeteria and went to go sit with my friends. I sat between Fangs and Toni, who was sitting next to Cheryl Blossom, as always. I just looked across the room to Veronica. Watching her laugh with Betty and Archie. He had his arm wrapped around her. I should've known that Archie would have somehow swept her off her feet, knowing she's my ex. I'm just glad she's happy at least.

"Hey, Jones, where's your food? Why aren't you eating?" Sweet Pea asked. I just shrugged.

"I'm not really hungry right now," I told him. I heard Toni sigh, but she didn't say anything. "I'm gonna go," I said, getting up and leaving. I know I said I'm glad she's happy, but she's not happy with me and it kills me. I don't why its effecting me this much but it is.

After school I went home for a bit. The others would come by later to get me. I pulled out homework, but I couldn't focus on any of it. The only thing going through my head and taking over my thoughts was Veronica. I need to get over her. But how am I supposed to get over someone that I fell completely in love with? I can't.

"You Okay, boy?" My dad asks. I nodded.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just thinking is all," I told him. He nods and goes back to whatever the hell he was doing.

At about six there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see my three friends standing there.

"You still coming?" Fangs asked. I nodded and we started walking to Pops together.

As we were walking to the door, I looked up and saw Veronica and Archie through a window. There was no Betty. Are they on a date? I don't think I can't be with them.

"On second thought, I'm just gonna go back home. I have homework I need to finish, and I'm not really that hungry anyways," I told them. Toni looked up and in the same window I saw them. They all nodded and I left.

I hardly got any sleep last night. It was hard when I couldn't stop thinking about the person I thought was gonna be the love of my life. Before I ruined it. I keep blaming myself and everybody tells me it's not my fault. But they don't know the story. I don't even know how to explain it.

I slowly got up and out of bed. I don't really want to go to school today. What's the point? I'm just gonna get all heartbroken again. It's just painful seeing them together. But until I see her smile. Its just seeing her happy.
