I feel the coldness of winter as I step out of my car towards the school. I can't stop thinking about the letters. How could she be alive? Of course I want her to be, I want that more than anything but what if this is one big prank? I step into the school and the same heavy ness that lingers in me while I'm at school settles back. I remember so many things in the halls, as I walk to my locker I try not to think but that's all I can do. I get to my locker and unlock. Something falls out and I quickly pick it up. I know what it is I carefully fold it, sliding it in my pocket. I grab my things and head to class. As I sit down I grab it from my pocket. I start to read it,

Dear Jug,
Thank you. Thank you for everything, you are the best thing. I needed you to know that. You mean the world to me, you are my world. You make my days brighter, thinking of you keeps me alive. It keep my veins pumping. All I want is you
Sincerely, Betty Cooper

I take a shaky breath and fold up the note putting it in my binder. I would have done anything to keep her alive, she's the love of my life. I feel a single tear fall, I reach up quickly wiping it away. I need to see her again, she smile, her face. I need to hold her hand and kiss her lips. I need her. I shoot up from my seat. The teacher yells at me but then surrenders. I leave and just walk, I know where I'm going. Somewhere I've never been. The cemetery.

**at the cemetery
Jughead: Hey Betts, I-I umm. God what am I doing? Betts are you dead? I know you can't answer but I don't think your dead. I love you, I will find you *stands up and starts to walk away* wait, okay if I never find you and you are dead. I love you, I will never stop *leaves a flower* your my girl forever *walks away*
