Chapter 7:
It was the Friday morning, Jughead had gotten up and got ready for school. He was waiting outside his house for a certain red head. Before he new it, Archie was there.
"Arch, I need to talk to you." Said Jughead quietly
"Yah what do you need?"
"You know me and Betty."
"Yah you to have been dating for awhile now."
"Well we aren't dating. She wanted to fake it, so I went with it."
"What the? You guys aren't dating? So, can I go after her?"
"We aren't but I still like her.
"Fine you win, I won't"
"Thanks Arch, lets get to school."
"Are you going to tell her the truth?"
"Yah but I don't know how to bring it up."
"Just tell her."
"Thanks again Arch."
"No problem"
The rest of the walk to school was quiet, Archie and Jughead didn't talk much other then the occasional question. When they got to the school Archie walked into the student lounge and sat right next to Betty who was sitting on the coach by herself. Jughead walked in moments later and sat beside Veronica which was the last seat taken.
"Hey Guys!" Betty said
"Veronica and I were wondering if you guys wanted to come to Veronica's cabin this weekend for a little time together?" Betty said
"It has a hot tub and is a quiet retreat." Veronica Stated
"I'm in!" Archie said
"Yah me too" Jughead said
"Great I will tell my dad and we will leave after school." Said Veronica
"Bye Guys!" said Veronica
"Bye Ronnie" Everyone said back
Now it was only Archie, Betty and Jughead in the lounge. Archie put his arm around the back of the coach and Betty didn't move, she started to talk.
"Oh, Archiekins we need to find you a Girl. You can't hit on me forever when you know your not going to have me."
"Damn Arch you just got burned." Jughead chuckled
'"Shut up Jug!" said Archie
Betty giggled
"Well boys I gotta go pack for tonight, bye."
Betty got up and walked to Jughead and gave him a quick kiss.
"Bye" said Jughead
Betty walked out of the room and now it was left to Archie and Jughead all alone together again. Jughead walked out after a few moments of silents. It was about 4:30pm when Veronicas driver went to pick up the whole gang. First was Jughead and Archie, then back to Veronicas and then to Bettys. After everyone was picked up, they drove to the Cabin. Once they got there, they unloaded their bags and went inside, Veronica was the first to speak up.
"Welcome to what I like to call Lodge Lodge. There are only 3 bedrooms, so I suggest that Betty and I share and Jughead and Archie have there own." Said Veronica
"Yah I'm good with that." Said Betty
"Same" said the boys
They all grabbed their bags and went up stairs to unpack. After they were done unpacking Veronica suggested that they go in the hot tub.
"So, what do you guys think of the cabin so far?" said Veronica
"Its great V." Said Betty
"Its relaxing" said Jughead
"Thanks, I knew that this is what you guys all needed." Said Veronica
"Does anyone wanna play Truth or Dare?" Said Veronica
"Sure!" Betty, Jughead and Archie said
"Ok I'll go first I dare Betty to kiss Archie. I know your dating Jughead but I'm sure he won't care." Said Veronica
"Jug, I won't do it if you're not ok with it." Said Betty
"Go ahead." Said Jughead
Betty stood up so did Archie, Archie threw his arms around her waist they fit perfectly, and he moved in for the kiss and they hit each other hard and tongues were exploring each of there mouths. Once the kiss was over Betty went to sit down next to Jughead, she was smiling. Jughead got up and walked away, Betty called after him and followed.
"Jughead!" Betty yelled
"Jughead where are you going?" Betty yelled as she was running to catch up with him
"What were you doing?" Jughead said firmly
"I was completing a dare." Said Betty
"Like that really Betty and you were smiling after."
"Jughead this is fake remember, no string attached."
"I know but that is not right even if this is fake."
"Sorry Jug, I can't handle this anymore, were done. You made this to big of a deal, this was great, but I think I'm gonna go home. I can't stay if you're here."
"Let me ask Veronica for her driver to come get you."
"Jug, that's enough I'll ask Archie to drive me home ok. I know he's the last person you want me to be with right now, but I am not going home with Veronicas driver."
"Fine, but can we still be friends? I don't want this stupid fake relationship to ruin everything."
"I'll think about it Jug but I gotta go right now."
"Bye, Betty"
"Bye"
Betty went up stairs to pack her things up, Archie came in her room awhile later.
"Betts, I'm sorry for what happened. Its all my fault." Archie said quietly
"Archie, its fine things weren't meant to be."
"Need a ride home?"
"Yah if you wouldn't mind."
"No Problem, plus I don't want to be alone with Jughead and Veronica."
"Why?"
"Before you came along, they were each others hook up buddy, I've always been the third wheel. Then you came along and now I'm not the third wheel and I am happy about that."
"Veronica and Jughead. I would have never guessed, I'm sorry Arch but I won't be around as much."
"Yah, I get that, but can we still hang out?"
"I would love that, you can come sit with me, Toni, Fangs and Sweet Pea anytime you feel like a third wheel."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
"Thanks Betty that means a lot, Lets get you home."
"Welcome, lets go."
Betty and Archie had their bags, Archie took Bettys and put them in the Truck. Betty went to say goodbye to Veronica.
"I am so sorry Betty I didn't mean for this to happen." Veronica said
"Its fine V, but I gotta go right now, I'll talk to you at school on Monday."
"Bye, B"
"Bye, V. I think the best thing I got out of the relationship was meeting you V, I love you."
"Aww I love you too B. I'm going to miss having you around. Come over anytime."
"I will, I have to go now bye"
Betty and Veronica hugged, they both wiped away tears and Betty turned around and left. She was happy that she pretended to date Jughead. She made great friends from her experience, but she wished that Jughead didn't take the relationship so seriously. Betty was now in the truck with Archie, it was quiet for a while in till Archie started to talk.
"Betty, Jughead told me about the fake relationship."
"That Bastard! He was supposed to shut up." Betty rolled her eyes
"Hey, I'm happy I knew because Jughead did like you but now I think he wants Veronica back. After seeing her in that swim suit half naked."
"Your telling me he's probably banging Veronica right now?"
"Yup pretty much."
"Well thanks for telling me Arch."
"Anytime Betts, I'm here for you"
After there little conversation the rest of the ride was silent in till they got to Archie's house. Betty had been sleeping on the way, after the day she had she was exhausted. She woke up when they stopped.
"Arch, this isn't my trailer."
"I know, you looked really tired and my house was closer. My dads not home, he is visiting my mom."
"Thanks, I'll crash on the coach."
"Definitely not! Your sleeping in my room, I'll take my dads room."
"Thanks Arch."
"Anytime."
Betty slowly got out of the truck, Archie grabbed all the bags and brought them inside. Betty was close behind him, after he opened the door. Archie lead Betty upstairs and into his room.
"Well this is it, shit I forgot your clothes down stairs I'll go get them."
"Arch its fine just give me one of your shirts."
He opened a drawer and pulled one out and handed it to her.
"Ok well, have a goodnight." Archie gave a warm smile and walked away
"Wait Arch."
Betty walked to him and gave him a little peck on his lips.
"Thanks for everything, Night Archiekins." Betty smiled at him and turned and walked back in to the room. Archie walked to his dads' room and fell asleep smiling, Betty on the other hand fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. Betty was happy but this time it was all real not fake.
