Plan Pt. 6

Joon's pov :
Prom is within two hours and I insisted on getting ready by myself, well, I kinda sent Veronica to Betty so I know what she's feeling, belive me, I was relieved that this is the last day of the deal, yes I'll miss having Jughead by my side, yes I'll miss the beautiful feeling he gives me whenever we are close, yes I'll miss having his hand intertwined with mine, yes I'll miss his sense of humor and sarcasm, yes I'll miss Jughead but, I won't miss that annoying voice in my head that is actually telling me that he is not mine, that he doesn't want me, that his heart already belongs to the 'not so perfect' girl next door, I won't miss the feeling of worthlessness and being compared to someone, sure he didn't say that, he was sweet with me throughout the whole week we spent together, but again, it was the annoying voice in my head.
Sighing, I stood up and walked to my bathroom, I striped out of my clothes and stood under the water, the hot water removing all the stress and a small voice in my head tells me to enjoy the night before it ends, I shampoo and condition my hair then wash my whole body with Gardenia flowers scent bodywash, I step out of the shower drying my body with a towel, I looked at my reflection in the mirror, suddenly, every insult from betty came rushing into my head, not just betty, but from the whole cooper's, yes, even Alice sometimes made a snarky comment about me every here and there, believe it or not all of that was because of a medal, then one specific compliment came in the wave of insults "you always look nice", I blushed as the thought of the love of my life calling me beautiful came to my mind, I smiled before I heard my phone go off, I grabbed it seeing that I got a text message, surprisingly it was Kevin "get your ass out of the bathroom and get ready, you're lover boy is coming" I laughed at the message, typical Kevin, I quickly dried up and went outside, my dress was hanging on my closet handle, the dark forest green with glitter fabric hang inside a blastic bag, the heels box placed neatly beside, on my dresser, the make up bag that I use only on occasions, and important ones only, was placed in front of the vanity, I moved towards it and removed the bag, and took my hair tools out, I dried my hair then curled it and lifted it up, now make up, before I could start I heard a knock on my door and my mom came in, I smiled at her in confusion "I thought you were out of town" "well, I can take a day off, it's my daughter's prom after all, and she finally agreed on someone who asked her" she said dramatically and I chuckled lightly, she stepped in revealing a black Jewelery case, I frowned at it, my mom wasn't the one for jewelries especially the expensive ones, she opened it revealing a delicate necklace, it was silver and emerald green in the center, next to it, was a silver bracelet with the same design as the necklace with matching earrings and a small ring , I gasped as they were so beautiful "this was your grandma's, she gave it to me in my first prom, you know, I was like you in the beginning, never going with boys until your dad came and asked me to it, I was so excited, my crush had asked me to prom, I got dressed up and applied makeup then your grandma came in and gave me this, told me that it was mine now, she told me to give it to my daughter in her prom or to my son's wife in their wedding, and today is the day I pass it to you, listen jo, you and that boy have something great, just like me and your dad used to have, and I hope you get a happy ending, and different from mine " I hugged her as we both got teary due to the speech she just said, it was right, my parents had an epic romance that they used to tell me about every night, they both faced a lot of things but in the end they were together, I really wish I can have the love of my life like mom did, we pulled away as mom wiped her tears away and smiled "let's get you ready, your date is on his way" mom stood up and opened my stereo that played our favorite songs , as we sang and danced around for about half an hour, when mom finished and turned my around to look at the final result, I gasped, my eyes were lined perfectly with brown eye shadow and a hint of glitter, perfectly winged eyeliner and long, thick lashes, moving on, my face was covered with a perfect amount of foundation and concealer as a small amount of blush and highlighter sat on my cheekbones, my lips were painted in a neutral Matt color, she took my hair down and re-curled it and placed it on the side, she left the room to allow my to get ready, I pulled my dress on, the soft fabric feels nice on my skin, I slipped my heels on and added the jewelries, I sprayed some perfume and stood in front of the mirror looking at myself, the silk dress hugging my body perfectly, the makeup makes me look like a different person, the jewelries makes me stand out, I smile in content as I fix my curles, my phone went off with a text message from veronica "your lover boy is here and you won't believe what he did to you" I frowned at the text but before I could reply to her, mom called me down saying my 'date' is here, I took one last quick at my self before grabbing my cover cause it's freaking freezing outside, before I open the door I walked back to my drawer and took something out of it and threw it with my lipstick and small perfume bottle in my purse , I step outside of my room and gracefully walked down the stairs, one hand holding my purse as my cover draped casually on my arm , my other hand resting on the handle as I walk down the stairs , I keep my gaze on the floor until I heard my mom gasp, I looked up and saw tears in her eyes, beside her I saw Jughead with a genuine smile on his face, he was wearing a tux with white button up shirt and no tie, the first button was opened and his hair was brushed to the side and free from his beanie, he smirked once he noticed that I was checking him out, I stood in front of him with a smile "you look really pretty" "thanks, you look quite handsome yourself" we both blushed as we looked at each other, then the flash light snapped us from our thoughts, we looked at mom who was smiling widely at the picture she's holding, soon after, mom took what seemed to be hundreds of pictures, until one picture, Jughead was staring at me while I looked at the ground trying to hide the excitement of being near him, you would think that I got used to it by now but you're wrong, I still didn't get over it and I won't need to get over it, this is the last night I'll spend this near to him, the flash light, again, snapped me out of my thoughts "there you are, you're free to go" I breathed in relief as I hugged her and jughead said his goodbye,before I step outside, I snatched an umbrella big enough for us both,cause, we're in riverdale, you don't trust the weather, we went to his truck, he opened the door for me and helped me inside, then he took off to the school, the radio playing 'when I look at you' the ride was silent, none of us mattered a word, him focusing on the road and me staring at him, enjoying his presence, a smirk came to his face "its rude to stare, princess" he looked at me for a moment then back to the road, 'not when it's worth staring at' I thought to my self as I smile at him and look away, soon enough we arrived at the same time as our friends, jug was quick to my side and helped me out of the car, Kevin, Ronnie and Cheryl approached us with huge grins on their faces, small drops began to fall on us, I opened my umbrella and held it above us, I glanced around before smirking at Ronnie "where's your lover boy?" a blush came to her face as she looked down, Kevin smiled in pride as Cheryl rolled her eyes with a smile "he is parking the car" just as she finished, Reggie came jogging toward us and hurrying under the umbrella Ronnie held in her hands, soon we heard a car pull up from behind, stepped out of it was Archie Andrews , Betty Cooper and Valerie Brown, the three of them move toward us as Jughead takes a hold of my waist, pulling me closer to him, Betty gave me the stinky eye, Archie and Valerie smiled at us as they gave us complements on our looks and we returned them, I noticed that Betty was shivering, that idiot didn't bring a cover, as much as I wanted her to freeze to death for the headache she gave me the day before , I asked them to go inside as it was getting cold, when we first entered the hall, kids were running around and jumping like they care about nothing in the world, balloons were flying around, the teachers standing on the side, we found a table so we can set, we quickly broke into conversations, soon veronica wanted to 'dance' with me, she pulled me to the dance floor and we swayed for a few minutes before we went to the bathroom, once we were there, she took a hold of my hand "did you talk to him?" I shook my head and smiled "it's okay vee, he's not mine, I'm used to it" she groaned in frustration "how do you know that he is not over her" "because he would have said something, he kissed me veronica, and he tried to again twice, he slept with me in the same bed and he took me to prom and yet he didn't say anything, I love him vee, don't you think that I want to hear him saying the same thing to me, I want him, so badly, to say that he at least has a little bit of feeling for me, but he doesn't, so I won't keep torturing myself like this, yes I love him, yes I might not be able to have him, but tell you what, I'm happy that at least I got to spend some time with him and know how it feels to be loved by him, even though it wasn't real, I love Jughead Jones and I'll always love him and no one will take his place, not now and not in million years "I finished wiping the tear that fell from my eyes roughly, she nodded at me" give him a chance, he has something toward you, I saw that the day he came running to you when you got injured, give him a chance until the dance, please joon " she pleaded to me while holding my hand, I hesitantly nodded at her, I checked myself in the mirror, making sure I didn't look like I was crying, when I was satisfied I walked outside and bumped into someone, I prayed to God that it won't be him, unfortunately, it was him, panic rushed through me as a look of horror flashed my face, did he hear what I said?, he can't be, even if he was outside , we stayed still like this for a while , veronica anxiously standing behind me as Jughead's eyes roomed my face, I gulped and forced a smile "you okay?" his monotone voice shaked me on the inside, I smiled and nodded at him as we made our way back inside, this time there was a slow song playing, he smiled at me and offered his hand, veronica took my cover and went to the table while me and jughead moved to the dance floor, his hands flew to my waist as mine rested on his shoulders, we swayed with the slow music , I stared into his green eyes, fighting my tears, I wish he can hear my thoughts, I wish he can hear how much I love him and how much I want him, I wish he noticed me from the beginning, but everything comes to end and my end came when I saw betty storming outside with tears falling from her eyes , I sighed as he followed my gaze and saw her running outside, he turned to me and I weakly smiled at him and pulled him outside, grabbing my purse in the way, I opened my purse and grabbed his hand, I took the medal I won in the writing contest against Betty and placed it in his hand, he gave me a puzzled expression, I just smiled at him "this is what started the whole problem between me and betty, give it to her and tell her I'm sorry if I ever did something wrong, you two are perfect for each other, I happy for you, now go after her" he looked confused and dare I say, hurt "what about you?" "I'm fine, don't worry about me now go and fix your relationship with her" my words screamed fake and did not convince me or him, he hesitated before he eventually ran after her, as soon as he gave me his back the tears ran down my cheeks and sobs were heard echoing through out the hallway, that's it, that's the end of my story...
Jughead's pov :
I heard her sobs while I ran after Betty, I didn't stop, I don't know why, I wanted to, as cheesy as it sounds, my heart screamed, begging my brain to force my body to a stop, but nothing came in response, eventually it stopped when I found betty, she was in the parking lot crying, yea I felt bad but, not as bad as I felt when I left joon, I slowly approached her "betty?" she turned toward me shooting daggers with her eyes "what do you want?, why aren't you with your mistress?" I felt anger because of the insult she threw at joon while the girl didn't do anything to her, my face held a deep scowl at her " don't call her that, you don't know what she did for you" I snapped at her, then scoffed as she was about to talk " you don't have any reason to be angry at her, did you know that me and her weren't dating, it was a deal we made so I can fix things with you, you should have seen how broken she was when I told her, she thinks that I didn't notice but I did, she took the pain just to make me happy, to make us both happy, and I'm not better than you betty, I used her and I broke her heart every time she remembered that this was a deal, that every time I pulled her closer to me or held her hand was only to make you jealous, every time I glanced at you and ignored her to look at you, I was being selfish to her, and now I heard her saying that she loved me, that she was willing to let go of her happiness just for me, she said that she wanted me, yet she allowed me to go after you, because she thinks that my happiness is with you, but now I realize that my happiness is with her, I don't know why I left her but I came to give you this "I took the medal out and held it for her" this is the medal that started the whole problem between the both of you, she wanted me to give it to you and fix things between you and her, even though you don't deserve it, she insisted you have it, I'm sorry betty, I love joon and I already let go of her once, I'm not letting go of her again " she took the medal with a stunned expression at my words, before she could reply, I walked back into the school, searching for her, I spotted veronica with Joon's cover looking around frantically, I approached her" have you seen joon" we asked in the same time, she frowned while shaking her head at me " why aren't you with Betty?" I raised my eyebrow at her before smirking "why would I be with another girl other than my girlfriend?, I know we started as a deal but, I love joon and I want her, I want her to hear me saying it and belive me, I want to apologize for being an asshole with her and using her, I want her to be my real girlfriend " she smiled widely at me before handing my Joon's jacket" she must be at home, run! "I grabbed the jacket and ran out of the school moving towards Joon's home.
As I climbed to her window, I saw her in her room, sitting on the bed, she was still wearing the same dress as she was looking at the photos her mom took before we left, music was playing in the background as tears ran down her face, even with slightly smudge makeup, she was still beautiful, I knocked on her window and her head snapped toward me, she quickly wiped her tears away and smiled at me, she opened the window and allowed me inside, she frowned slightly, clearly confused as why I was here "I think you got the wrong room, Romeo" I chuckled lightly before lightly tossing her cover "you forgot this, and no I'm in the right room, I wanted to ask you something" she nodded in confusion "in your opinion, if I loved two people at the same time, who should I choose?" she seemed taken a back by the question but answered anyway "you should choose the second, at least that's what I would have done " I stepped closer to her with a smirk "why?" she blushed from how close I was to her "if you loved the first, you wouldn't have loved the second, why are asking?" by now I was centimeters away from her "because I love you, joon, I realized that later than I should have, I'm sorry joon, for everything, for having you dealing with hatred from me while you did nothing wrong, for using you to get back with betty, for making you feel bad about yourself, I'm sorry joon, for being an idiot and realizing that the person who truly loved me was the person I treated badly for no reason, I love you joon, will you forgive me? " a tear ran down her cheek and I wiped it away, a smile crossed her face" yes, I love you too, juggie " I hugged her tightly, enjoying her presence with me, her small body fitting perfectly in my arms, the lights in her room was dim  and the music was playing in the background, the song 'lover' was playing as she spoke" you know, I've been in love with you for more than three summers "I chuckled lightly at the song reference she made" I know, I heard you, if I didn't, it would have taken me a bit longer to confess to you" she pulled away with a smile, her hands still on my shoulders as mine rested on her waist "I'm glad you heard me then" we started to lean in, our lips brushing against each other, finally they connected in a slow kiss, I felt the 'butterflies' in my stomach as I pulled her closer to me, her hands tangled in my hair, we broke the kiss when we needed to breathe, I smiled at her as slow music started playing "shall we have this dance?" she grinned at me as she rested her head on my shoulder "we shall" just like that, we swayed with the music, like normal teenagers, both of us happy with being in the other's hands without fearing of losing him to someone else...
