**at a bookstore
Betty: where are we?
Jughead: a used book store *puts a hand on her lower back* this way
Betty: do you have connections Jughead Jones?
Jughead: maybe
Betty*giggles*
Jughead*knocks*
Manager: JUGHEAD!!!!! I miss you man *hugs him* Oh who's this lady?
Jughead: this is Betty
Manager: Betty Cooper? I love you in Heathers and Wicked
Betty: thank you so much
Manager: could I get your autograph?
Betty: of course!
Manager: come in, come in. Let me grab a pen *runs upstairs*
Jughead: sorry I-
Betty: it's fine, so what is this place?
Jughead: it's a bookstore I come to pretty often because there's this letter library
Betty: a what?
Jughead: come on *grabs her hand and leads her over to the letter library*  this is the letter library, pick up any book and just start flipping through
Betty*sits on the ground and picks up a book* this is so cool
Jughead*sits beside her* it's one of my favorite places in New York City, I get to witness everyone's feelings without even knowing them
Betty: it's awesome *gets closer to jughead* we should get going
Jughead: yeah let's go
Betty: but I have to give him an autograph
Jughead: of course

**after they leave
Betty: so what's next?
Jughead: it's all a surprise
Betty: whyyyy?
Jughead: stop complaining we have a limited time

Betty's POV: ugh Jughead Jones is the most annoying person ever and I love him. Holy shit, I didn't think I'd ever say that again. But I also can't ignore what happened, how we left things? What he did

**a few stops later (3 am)
Betty*stops*
Jughead: Betty?
Betty*crosses her arms* we've been waking around for hours and you still haven't said anything
Jughead: Betty, what are you taking about?
Betty: What happened between us?
Jughead: Betty lets just keeping going
Betty: I'm not going till we talk
Jughead: about what?
Betty: ABOUT US
Jughead: Betty
Betty*starts crying* you lied to me and left, after I told you I love you. Then you let me leave
Jughead: what was I supposed to do? Make you stay with me
Betty: you didn't give me a chance, you moved on without me, You didn't put in any effort
Jughead: I'm sorry
Betty: whatever *storms away*
Jughead: Betty wait
Betty: NO *whirls around* No more Betty wait, I'm done waiting Jughead. Me and Archie are engaged so this is over. I did what I said, I-
Jughead: showed me what I'm missing, you sure did
Betty: I'm so done with what if and maybes, so just leave and let me leave New York in peace *walks away crying*
