❝I don't know what you went through, and I know we aren't going to go back to where we were for a long time, maybe even ever. But if I knew that you were about to go through the worst time of your life, I wouldn't have left. I swear.❞

With my stomach full of hot chocolate, and my mind inspired by a cheesy Rom-Com, I left Betty's feeling a wave of confidence. After suffering through another frigid walk, I made it back home where I started my car, turning the heater on.
I waited to warm up, cupping my hands and blowing air into them. It gave me time to think about what I was about to do.
I imagined myself pulling up to Jughead's trailer, him opening the door, and giving each other a longing stare, before collapsing into a fit of kisses.
I smiled a little to myself, feeling my cheeks, nose, and ears turn rosy from the excitement.
I grew impatient and pulled out into the road, driving towards the South Side.
I imagined what could go wrong. The worst being Jughead not feeling the same way. The other is him not being home. Biting my lip, I worried about his reaction but knew that if I didn't confess at that moment, I wouldn't have any other chance.
With all of the thoughts running through my head, it made the drive much quicker. Before I knew it, I pulled up in front of his trailer. Then everything happened so fast.
I hurried up the steps and knocked on his door with a smile on my face. I waited, shivering, but happy.
The door opened, and my mouth ran. "Jughead I-"
I was cut off by the sight of another girl. My smile immediately fell, and my heart dropped to my stomach.

"Who are you? " She asked.
I blinked a few times, trying to process my thoughts.
"Catherine," I told her. I so badly wanted to say with bold confidence "Jughead's girlfriend" but the sight of another girl in his trailer, the two alone, made me lose all of the confidence I once had.
