The southside boy

31

~ Archie's POV ~

It's been three weeks, since Jughead got taken away. I go into his room, everyday. I sleep with his blanket at night. It was the night before my birthday, I wasn't exited. My mom acted so happy, and that it was going to be the best day ever.

When it wasn't.

"Archie, I wanted to say that..I'll be going to host a party for you tomorrow, Reggie, Cheryl, Josie, Veronica, all of your friends will be there." My mom said

"What about my serpent friends?" I asked

"Archie-" my mom was saying until her phone rang

"This is her?"

"Oh."

"I assume..that's alright..if it's just that." She said hanging up the phone.

"Just get some rest, the party is nice and early in the morning." She said closing my door.

I covered up in Jugs blanket, as I slowly fell asleep scrolling through my camera roll of jug and I.

^next morning^

"Wakey wakey, birthday boy!"my mom said coming in

"Your friends will be here in a hour, the house is all decorated, I just need you up and ready!!" She said as I got up.

"Thanks..mom.." I said as she left. I got dressed and made my bed as I walked downstairs seeing balloons, confetti, all kinds of things on the walls, floors, it was crazy.

"How does it look!" She asked

"Looks great mom.." I said as the doorbell rung.

I opened it to see Veronica, Cheryl, Josie and Reggie standing there.

"Hey guys" I said "smiling" as they came in and hugged me

"Happy birthday, Archikins" Veronica said walking in with all the girls. A few moments later, much more guest came. More like a lot. The whole school was here. 

People were dancing to the music that was so loud, as others were eating, or drinking. But I..was sitting outside on the porch.

"Hey..." I heard a voice talking to me as I looked up to see Jughead

"Juggy?!" I said standing up, hugging him tightly.

"What are you doing here?" I asked

"Your mom said I could drop by to give you the gift..I bought for you." He said handing me it.

I opened the gift to see a necklace that says 'Jarchie' on it.

"It's not big..but it's all the stores on the Southside had, I got them to make it.." He said as I put it on.

"I love it, Jug. Thanks so much for coming..you made my night so much better" I said as we hugged

"Hey..Jughead.." my mom said coming outside

"I wanted to say that it was wrong of me to take you away from Archie, and I realized your not the only person I took away from a relationship. Kevin just told me about Fangs, and I'll be honored if you came back, along with your friend. To the Northside." She said smiling

"Really?!" I said smiling

"It took time for me to realize you make Archie a better person. And he needs you. So please come back home." She asked

"I would love to, thank you Mrs. Andrews." He said as I kissed his cheek as we walked inside.

It got later, people started to leave, until everyone went home.

"You boys can go to bed, I'll pick up" my mom said smiling.

We went upstairs into my room, as I closed the door behind me.

"I see you sleep with my blanket" he chuckled

"Yeah, it's warm." I said coming up behind him, as he turned around, wrapping his arms around my neck, as I lifted him up, sitting on the bed.

"I missed you..so much.." he said

"I missed you too.." I said, as I kissed him softly, as he placed his hand on my cheek, kissing me deeper. I took my shirt off as we fell back onto the bed. As Jughead took off his shirt, running my hands down his body.

"Hey boys before you go to-OH MY." My mom said walking in, covering her eyes.

"MOM, GET OUT." I shouted as she closed the door

"I'll..come back after?!" She said

Jug started laughing, as I got up and locked the door.

"I hope that never happens again" I said laying back on the bed

"Yeah?" He said laying on top of me

"Mhm" I said kissing him, pulling him closer.

^10:29 pm^

"Was that another good birthday gift?" Jughead asked me

"That was an amazing gift" I chuckled as I held him

"I was scared I wasn't ever going to see you again, Archie.." Jug said looking at me with tears in his eyes

"Oh, Juggy.."I said sitting up on my side

"I would have found a way to see you, no matter what rules there were. I hadn't thought of the right thing to do, that's why I didn't come sooner" I said wiping his tear away

"You still love me right.." he said looking down

"Three weeks isn't enough time to stop loving you, I'm not sure I ever can" I said pulling him close

"Please don't let go.." he said wrapping his arms around my waist

"I won't, until I have to go to the bathroom" I said as we both laughed, slowly falling asleep
