Epilogue
As we laid on our picnic rug on the edge of Sweetwater I couldn't help but look into Archie's piercing brown eyes. He was absolutely beautiful and I was in love this summer it had felt like it was only the two of us, that we were the only people that existed it was amazing and I didnt want to wake up from this dream. "So, school heads back soon, are we making this official?" Archie asked as he rubbed the side of my waist, "Arch, you know we can't do that, Betty…" I started "Will get over it… I want to be with you. I don't want this to be a secret anymore, she'll appreciate the honesty" he said holding my hand. "I'm sorry just a little longer, besides don't you feel a bit like a naughty school kid… sneaking around… making out behind the bleachers" I laughed, "April, I would still love if this wasn't such a secret, you're my girlfriend and I kind of want to show off too" Archie giggled as he pulled me in for a long passionate kiss. "I love you" he said as he pulled away. Oh my god! I can't believe Archie Andrews just told me he loves me, I honestly wanted to scream with excitement. I pulled him in for another long kiss, before I whispered the words "I love…" BANG!
A loud shot came from somewhere over the other side of the river. Archie and I glared at each other as we sat up. "What was that?" I panicked, "I don't know, I'm going to go check it out" he said as he stood up. "No Archie" I said grabbing his arm and pulling him back. "We need to go" "April someone could be really hurt" "And then what? Us next?" I asked glaring him right in the eyes, "We know nothing about this okay" I warned him. "April" he said pulling me in close "No Archie, I'm sorry, I think it's best we just have some space" I said feeling all guilty but also terrified. I picked up my jacket and headed home, what I was about to find out was that Jason Blossom was murdered in cold blood.
