Jughead wrapped his fingers around the silk dress, wishing that Betty would suddenly appear, looking gorgeous while wearing it.

He remembered that night, he had planned a moonlight picnic, just for her. She didn't show up. He could still recall the small basket overflowing with food, takeout from Pops. How he changed into his suit, gelled his hair. Finally, he was in his finest hours. But she wasn't there to see it.

Jughead wondered why she left so suddenly, without telling. If he could make a guess, he would think that Alice Cooper forbid her to go. Because this type of love, dangerous and bold, no one ever wanted to sacrifice for it. It was like a burning fire, beautiful to look at but it would hurt if you even got as close as touching it.

He never told Betty, but he wrote poems about her. How her eyes were this brilliant green, lusher than thriving trees in a forest, her hair was more gold than blonde, and just as precious.

And he never told her how stupid he felt after that, so silly and how he deleted all of it and decided to stick with writing novels. Betty was too good for chunks of texts on a screen. But apparantly, Alice thought Betty was too good for him as well.

He promised he wasn't going to let anything come between them, break them apart. But now it seemed impossible, this shaking reality was yelling at him to wake up, stop dreaming. To get real. Riverdale was no place for long lasting love, even if it seemed to never end.

His bed was empty again, his body was cold. And his heart was broken. Dreaming about Betty and if she was ever coming back.

It was like Romeo and Juliet, except they could never even be together in death, when they would she was untouchable. They were as far as heaven and hell, but when they met, he knew it was going to be alright. Everything would be perfect. He would never let her go.

You'll never be alone. You are always on my mind, in my heart, breathing the same air as me and in the same universe that we exist in. Next time, I will never let you go.
