WARNING: Yes, this is fan fiction. No, you do not have to watch Riverdale to read this. I include explicit details so it's easy to follow.

Summary: Betty Cooper is hopelessly in love with Archie Andrews, and she'll do anything to protect him, including looking into the new music teacher who seems to have captured his heart.

Even if it means breaking her own.

1x04 Canon. (In which Betty puts herself second, and him first. She really is hopeless.)

"Well I guess what hurt me most of all,
You were playing with my heart

Tell me, why am I emotional
When I knew it from the start

And tell me, why does my heart burn, when I see your face?
You have made the decision, put me in my place
And the lies you've been hiding, taking up your space

Tell me, why does my heart burn this way

When I see your face"

"LOOK, I GET THAT IT'S WRONG. I do. But she means a lot to me. She believed in me when no one else did." 

Betty tried not to let her face crumple as his words rang in her ears. 

She believed in me.

No one else did.

Betty glanced down at her hands to find them hanging limp on her plum corduroy jeans (her mother wouldn't let her wear black, too harsh for Betty's soft features), tears blurring her vision until they were nothing but a swirl of pale skin fading into purple.
