Author's Note: New installment of Runaway Love, people! Let's get going.
Riverdale belongs to its respective owners, I own absolutely nothing.
Chapter 40
In the hallway at Riverdale High, Veronica and Betty stood at their separate lockers, backs turned.
Grabbing her bag, Betty addresses Veronica.
"You were right," She said, closing her locker.
Veronica turned to face the blonde.
"And what you said about Archieā¦"
The Lodge girl shuts her locker and gave Betty her undivided attention.
"Sometimes it's hard to admit things to yourself." Betty confessed. "My mother is crazy. I'm afraid I'll never see my sister again. The boy I like doesn't like me back."
"He may not be crushing on you, but he does love you." Veronica pointed out, as she and Betty step closer.
"And he's legit miserable without you, if it's any consolation. My mom says sometimes a friend is better than a boyfriend. Maybe this is one of those times."
Betty smiles.
Betty: Pol, I could use some sisterly advice.
Polly: What is it, Betts?
Betty: Should I give Archie & Veronica another chance, after all what went down at Cheryl's? And Mom's being crazy, as usual. She says I shouldn't be friends with them.
Polly: Don't listen to her. Mom is trying to control you, Betty, like she did to me. Look how it turned out. You keep on defending yourself & stay strong. And do give Veronica & Archie another chance, they are only human. You'll find somebody else, when you least expect it.
Betty: Thanks, Polly.
Polly: You're welcome. Good luck at the pep rally & tell me all about it.
Betty: I will & stay safe, wherever you are.
Polly: Will do.
A/N: Coming up, Archie gets into a brawl with Reggie, while defending Jughead.
More soon!
