3 weeks has gone by Ali is at her grandmas Avery's parents. I walked knocked at the door, "come in" I hear, I walked in "jughead it's great to see you again after all these years! How've you been? How's your dad?" Dr. Keene asked me "great to see you again uh, my dads doing great..he's not an addict anymore.. and I'm a dad now as of 3 weeks ago" I said as she threw her arms out in excitement "ahh congratulations!!" She said and ran over and hugged me. "So what brings you back to therapy?" She asked sitting back down at her desk as I sat down in front of her, "Ali that's my daughters name..her mom Avery.. she didn't come back.. she's never coming back.." I said my breathing quickening as tears filled my eyes "I'm so sorry jughead" she said as I shook my head "she was supposed to be mine.. she was supposed to come back she was supposed to be a mom to Ali we were supposed to work things out but she.. SHE DIDNT COME BACK!" I said now sobbing, "my life just keeps falling apart.. and when I'm finally happy god decided to fuck things up for me again...maybe it's because I did something wrong in my past life.. but, we were supposed to be together... we were supposed to die together.." I sobbed as dr.keene wipes away her tears, "I want to be a dad to Ali I want to see her grow up I want to walk her to kindergarten, I want to be there when she has her first heart break, I want to be there when she graduates, I want to be there to move her to college dorm, I want to be there to walk her down the aisle, I want to be there to take care of her kids, I want to be there for my little girl but I.. I keep falling apart.. I don't know if I can do this.." I sobbed as Dr. Keene reaches for my hand, "look at me jughead" she sniffs as I look at her my eyes red as tears rolled down my cheeks "you can do this, day by day, the death of someone is hard but you shouldn't let it tear you apart, I know Avery has been there for you since 7th grade you two have been together since the 7th grade and I know it's hard to expect the fact that the person you saw every day not around anymore but what do you think she would want? Do you think she'd want you to give up on your daughter and give her up for adoption?" She asked me as I looked away and chuckled "she'd actually call me a coward for giving up and then force me to try again"I said as.
After my therapy session. I walked out of the building and there stood betty right there in front of me, "jughead hey.." she said as I smiled "hi" I said "I heard that your a dad now.. and I'm so sorry for your loss" she said as I smiled "thanks" I said and looked away, "How about I treat you at pops tonight?" She asked me, if she had asked me that in high school my heart would have filled with joy but now, I don't feel much..maybe cause I'm numb or maybe cause she was a high school crush.
But honestly.. I know it's because I still love Avery and she just died and left me with this huge responsibility that I don't know what to do so I'm constantly calling my dad for help but I know that if Avery was here she'd force me to say yes but she's not. "As much as I'd like that I have a new born waiting for me at my apartment" I said "can I stop by later I'll bring some food and if you don't mind I can meet your daughter?" She asked me. I thought for awhile. It's been lonely since so why not. "Sure I'll text you the address" I said and walked away.
I picked Ali up and walked into the house. I began to tidy up a little just then there was a knock at the door. I walked over and opened it to see betty "come in" I said as she walked in. She walked over and was about to sit down "DONT! Ah I'm sorry..please don't sit there.." I said as she got back up and sat down on another area "s-sorry" she said as I shook my head "no sorry it's just..that was Averys favorite chair.. she wouldn't let anyone sit there and I guess it became a habit.." I said walking to the kitchen "do you want anything to drink?" I asked her "uh water will do" she said as I grabbed a water bottle and gave it to her. "Let me go grab Ali" I said walking to the bed room and picked her up.

Jughead brought her out and god she was so small, "here you go" he said handing her to me.
I looked down at little Ali, "she's beautiful..she looks just like Avery" I said. Avery was a beautiful independent women, people always compared her to me and saying she's was ugly and fat and the they started calling her a slut because she got pregnant, but I always saw her as perfection she's beautiful in her own way and since kindergarten people shipped me with jughead and in 7th grade when Avery and jughead got together they started making fun of her and bullying her in every possible way.
( the people in the comment section in the first part bullying my made up fictional character lol)
I didn't know her personally but I what I did know was that she and jughead were that endgame ship to me.
