The southside boy

25

~Archie's POV ~

It was the last week of school until Christmas Break, and as always it's impossible to get Jug up.

"Jug, we have to get to school rather you like it or not, get up" I said

"No.." he said covering his head with the blanket

I smirked, as I took the blanket off from his head and kissed him deeply.

"Get up" I said

"Fine, fine." He said getting up.

We walk into school, Reggie comes up to us.

"You think your slick huh Jones?"

"What the hell are you going off about now, Reggie?" Jughead said

"Your 𝖽𝗎𝗆𝖻𝖺𝗌𝗌 decided your gonna keep Andrews away from football practice?

"How is it his fault, I got busy, Reg." I said

"What, you got busy doing what, that is so important more than football, it's this SouthSider." Reggie said

"Reggie, I am sick of you acting like a little 𝖻𝗂𝗍𝖼𝗁." Jughead said

Reggie punches Jughead right in the face, as jug drops to the floor. I slam Reggie against the locker and punch him across the face. As he switched sports and slams me against the wall and kicks my stomach.

"MANTEL, ANDREWS!!" Principal Weathebee said taking us apart

My mom had to pick us up after Weatherbee suspended me

"Archie, you have ONE week left in school until break, and you GOT in A FIGHT."

"He punched Jughead mom."

"I don't care, Archie. You didn't think to stop and get a teacher? So now, your grounded."

"WHAT?!" I shouted

"I don't want to hear it, you are going STRAIGHT. To your room when we get home, understand?"

"Yeah, whatever mom." I said.

We arrived to the house, I went upstairs and just closed my door, as Jughead sat on the upstairs couch watching the 'Shawn Mendes Documentary' on Netflix.

^8:05 pm^

Someone knocked on my door, as I was laying in bed.

"Come in." I said

"You alright?" Jug came in and sat on the end of my bed.

"My mom acts like she a punch is like murder, when she has DONE murder." I said sitting up

"Well you got him to shut up I'll tell you that" jug chuckled

"I'd do anything for you, Juggy" I said wrapping my arm around his shoulder.

He got up and turned on 'California Girls' by Katy Perry, and pulled me up to dance

"When I'm down you do this, so I'm now doing it to you" he smiled

I laughed as we danced in circles until I tripped over my own foot and we both fell.

"Smooth, Archie" Jughead said as we laughed

"Juggy, I have to start thinking of things to get you for Christmas" I said

"I already know what I'm getting you" he said

"Oh really, what is it?" I asked

"If I tell you it's not a surprise" he said chuckling

"I do have a question, would you like to go ice skating?" I asked

"Your grounded." He said

"Who's going to tell my mom we left?" I said as we went to a lake.

"A lake..are sure its safe?" Jughead asked

"I use to skate on it when I was younger, of course it is" I answered putting on skates as jug does and I grab his hand as we skate on the ice.

We skated in circles as I pulled him close, kissing him softly. As I twirl him spinning away.

~Jughead POV ~

"Arch, we should-" I looked over to see a hole in the ice where Archie was standing.

"ARCHIE?!" I took off the skates and slid over reaching my hand down in the hole, trying to reach him.

"The current has him." I quickly said running around trying to see him through the ice.

I saw a little bit of his sweater under a piece of the ice, I ran over and punched the ice. I kept hitting and punching it with my fist, making them bleed as it breaks, I grab his hand pulling him up onto land as I take out my phone a dial 911.

The ambulance come and takes Archie to the hospital.

I called his mom, sobbing as I watched the doctors doing the best they can hooking him up to things, injecting things in his body. I couldn't bear to watch.

All of a sudden I heard nobody moving. Nobody talking.

"Jughead, Mrs. Andrews.."

"Yes? Is Archie okay?!" I said as we stood up

"We tried doing the best we could. But we didn't have enough time"

"What do you mean?! Your giving up?! Y-you can't just let him keep dying you have to save him, please you can't let him die" I said as I started crying .

"We will keep him hooked up for the rest of the night, but if by morning he doesn't come back.."

Mrs. Andrews sobbed as she said "I can't be here, I don't want to see them taking him away." Walking outside

I sat by Archie's hospital bed, I just cried.

^4:13 am^

"Beep. Beep..beep.." the heart monitor started going off

"Can I get a doctor in here?!" I shouted as two came in and smiled

"He's breathing!" The doctor said.

The doctors got him medicine and injected it into his body.

"He should be waking up within the next 30 minutes" the doctor said as I cried with joy

"Thank you so much" I said as I hugged the doctor.

It was around 15 minutes later.

His eyes opened.
