Next day, after school, Archie saw Veronica sitting in the bleachers writing in a small book. Ronnie? Writing? What's going on with her? It's like she's a completely different person. He thought, he walked over to the bleachers, he sat next to her. She slammed her book closed.

"Archie. What are you doing here?"

"What the hell is going on Veronica?!"

"What do you mean? We're done, I've moved on."

"No, I know you Ronnie, this is something bigger."

"You don't know me, you know Riverdale Veronica, the girl that wanted to change. But that's not me! I'm New York Veronica! All dark no stars Veronica! Let's face it, you could never handle this Veronica."

"Why the sudden change?"

"C'mon Archie, you've read the tabloids, I'm a cheating lying bitch, it couldn't have come to that much of a shock that I can't commit to just you. I've dated celebrities, millionaires, billionaires, and cheated on them. What makes you so special?"

"Ronnie-

"Why do you care so much about me Archie? Like you said, I'm a slut."

She said getting her bags and getting up, he pulled her back down.

"That's not true Ronnie, now what's going on? You can tell me! Whatever it is we'll get through it together!"

He said, and for a minute I believed him, because when I see those brown eyes they make me believe that we can handle anything if we do it together. But that's not true, he can't fix this, I wish he could, believe me I do, but he just can't. I have to push him away, it's the only way to save him. She thought.

"What aren't you getting Archie!? We are done! I never loved you! I love money! I love Chanel bags! I love vacations in Paris! All the things you can't supply for me! You aren't good enough for a girl like me! If not for the fact that my father is in jail, and moving to an entirely different town! I would have never even looked your way!"

"You don't mean that-

"Yes I do! You Archie Andrews, are an average boy, with an average life, and a less than average voice. FYI, your songs are awful!"

"Veronica-

"To think you thought this was real! You thought I meant those things!? I only dated you to get on my mother's good side! "Being friends will Fred Andrew's son will give us an in on his father's company!" She said, so I obeyed, because she bribed me with those Louis Vuitton shoes I wanted! No wonder your own mother left you! You're a terrible excuse for a son!"

"Wow."

He said with tears in his eyes. It killed her to see him cry, but she had to stay strong.

"What?"

"Now I know there is something wrong, because I know you and you would never say those things to be, no matter how mad you are you'd never dare bring up my mother. So I'm not gonna ask what you're hiding, because I know you're trying to protect me. So I'm just gonna say this: I love you, for all you're flaws and scars. So whatever you're hiding or protecting me from, I will find out what it is."

He said walking off. Great, I did that whole damn speech for nothing, now he definitely knows I'm hiding something. He's right I would never bring up his mother.
