Jughead Jones imagines.

she broke u apart 2

It had been a week since you had come to the cabin. You hadn't done much but cry for the first few days, but now you realized you needed to bite the bullet and return to school. You needed to get my education, so you spent your last day in the cabin packing up all the belongings you had taken with you.
It was about 2.30 pm when you had finished packing, knowing you would return home at about 4 pm if you left now, so that is what you did. Locking up the cabin and hitting the road back home.

You walked straight into your parent's house calling out, "mum, dad I'm home" instantly they both come out of the living room clapping you in a bear hug. Only at that moment, you realized how much you had missed them in that week you had been gone. 

After making a cup of coffee you all sat on the couch and started talking asking how it had all been, they told you that Jug had come around to see you a couple of times but they had said that you had gone away for a little bit and still had not returned, and when he had asked gone where they had simply said you had never said where and never told them even when you had spoken on the phone. 

You asked when the last time he come around and they said a couple of days ago, you just nodded not knowing what to say you knew you didn't want to see him right now. 

What I didn't expect was the knock at the door that followed that thought. You looked at your parents and shook your head, they instantly knew that you didn't want to answer in case it was Jug. The even bigger surprise was when your mum said "hi Archie you instantly looked over and nodded with a small smile, not sure how this conversation was going to go. 

With Archie entering the room your Dad said he was going to help your mother with dinner, leaving you and Archie alone in the living room. You turned and smile with a small "Hi" coming from your lips 

"Hi Y/N... How are you doing" 

"As good as I can be, considering." You said with a look that said I know he would have found out what was going on.

"Yeah Jughead told me what happened, If it's any good for you to know, he has been miserable. He's the reason I'm here actually here." You give him a puzzled look, unsure of what that was meant to mean. "He seems to think that you have been here the whole time and you had just asked your parents to say that you aren't here just so you don't have to talk to him." Archie said giving you a look that said he thought that, well how could he not when Every time Jug comes 'you are not here' and the one time Archie comes you are here. 

You sighed "No that's not the case, I went to our family cabin just outside of Riverdale, I got back today actually, I just needed some time away. Some time to myself to decide what was going to be best for me." 

"I get that, but did you decide what is best for you?" You just shrugged "Somewhere along the line, I guess I did..."
You paused. You could feel Archie giving you a look that screamed oh no. You continued.
"I just don't know if I am ready to open myself back up to that kind of feeling again. I think I just need to work out who I am and what I want out of life. I want to decide where I am going. Make some decisions for me."

Archie gave you a small smile and you knew he understood. "I get it, you need to be you for a while, make yourself glow again. I am here if you need me."
"Thank you" You gave Archie a hug, and you told him that it was probably best that you kept to yourself at school for a while, you didn't want anyone to feel like you had abandoned them but you needed to some decisions without everyone chipping in with their opinions.

Archie promised he would let everyone know, you thanked him again before showing him out. You ate dinner with your parents, before heading upstairs to unpack and go to bed for the day ahead tomorrow.

...

You awoke to your alarm waking you up for school. You hated Mondays anyways but you knew this Monday was going to be extra hard with everything going on. You decided to avoid seeing everyone you would get there early. Grabbing everything from your locker and heading outside to sit for a while before class. As normal you sat with your earphones drowning out the noisy crowds of people.

In the distance you could see Jug walking in, you see him look at you and you could tell he was going to come over but Archie pulled him along clearly telling him that its best he didn't. You were thankful, making a mental note to thank him later. 

Jumping at the sound of the bell ringing brings you back from your zoned-out state. You walked to class knowing you would only just make it before being late. You did this purpose, of course. luckily you didn't have any classes with Jug but you did with Betty and that was enough to make you want to skip and go home.

You walked into class and realized that you were actually late, the teacher gave you a look that just said hurry up and get to your seat, so that's exactly what you did. Rushing past you couldn't help but notice Betty looking at you, you couldn't decide if the smile she had was mocking or not. You just looked away.

...

The day passed slowly but when the last bell rang, you could not be quicker at wanting to get out. You want to just get home and hide from the world. But to your dismay on your way out you spot Jughead and Betty, you knew to get out of school you would have to walk passed them, so you drew a breath and just started walking. You walked as quickly as you could passing them, shoving your earphones in as you did. As you walked passed you could feel their eyes on you. 

When I was finely out of their line of vision I slowed my pace, to slow walking. Enjoying the breeze and the sun rays hitting my face.  Feeling more at ease than you had done all day. You must have only been a few blocks from home when you could faintly hear your name being called, turning around without taking your earphones out, you could see Jug running to catch up to you. Starting to feel the heartache creep back in from just seeing him, you turned back around hoping he would somehow get the message or you would be home before he reached you.

But as normal luck was not in your favor when you felt the tug on your sleeve with him grabbing it as he run around you to be stood directly in fount of you.  You froze when your eye met his for the first time in weeks. You just stood, staring with a black face at him, not even wanting to address him. You could feel him gently remove your earphones from your ears, suddenly hearing everything around you again. 

"Please Y/N... I just wanna talk, I want you to know how sorry I am.."

"Just stop Jughead, I can't stand here and listen to your apologies right now, if ever. Cant, you tell I just need time away for everyone, from everything?"

"Y/N please..."

"No Jug I can't I need you to realize that I can't put myself back in that position to be hurt again.  how I don't even know how I meant to come back and sit with everyone as friends because just being near you or Betty brings back all that heart brake all over again. I knew I was always the disposable one since I joined the gang later. I knew I never really fit in.  I am trying to do what's best and let you go, letting to be happy with Betty. I don't know why I am finding it so hard as you have hardly been around in the last month anyways. So sorry Jug but it still stands, we are over and nothing is changing my mind. so don't follow me, don't keep trying to come to find me, and don't call or text. It's for the best"

You finish your rant a little out of breath but push around him anyways and continue to walk home. Leaving Jughead stood there in shock. I hurt to see him like that because of you, but you knew it was for the best, not just you but everyone. You didn't really know what was going to happen from here. or what you were going to do as you had never really pictured life without Jug since you had been together. But somehow you knew it would be okay... eventually.

A/N : sorry for the long wait. I know I am the worst.  hope you like this chapter, it is a little longer than the last one. let me know if you guys would like me to leave this here or add a 3 part.
