     It was last day of summer and today we all have to go our separate ways. Well most of us. I'm going in NYC with Veronica. Archie will stay here in Riverdale. Kevin is moving to L.A. and do Steve and Liz. They're a thing now. Two of them hooked up over the summer and I'm really happy for them. They look cute together.

     Archie and I were hanging out at his house, but I had to go back home and start packing, cause I'm leaving tomorrow.

     "I'm gonna miss you.", he hugged me.

     "Archie, calm down. I'm not leaving yet, I'm just going home to pack.", I laughed.

     "I know, but still...I'm gonna miss all of you guys."

     "Well you'll still have Reggie.", I said smiling. "But yeah, I'll miss you too.", I said. "Okay, I gotta go now. You can come a bit later if you want and help me with packing."

     "Deal."

     Just when i got home and just when I was about to open the door, someone else opened them.

     "Oh hey, Betty.", he said.

     "Billy?", he smirked. "Sorry, I'm in a hurry. I gotta pack my things. I have no time to chat.", I just went around him.

     "So you're not curios to know why I'm here?", he asked me, just when I was about to go upstairs.

     I turned aroud to face him. "Hmmm...Let me think. No, I don't think so."

     "Alice told me that you're leaving for college tomorrow.", I rolled my eyes

     "Great!", I said going upstairs.

     He went after me. "Would you maybe be more interested to talk about Jughead? He was just here a few minutes ago. I sent him away, he really hates me.", he said. "I know you two were together over the summer. But not anymore. Why? What happened?"

     I turned around once again. "Cause I made him choose. Me or his stupid obsession for solving mysteries. He chose wrong, obviously. Now please, leave me alone, I gotta go and pack.", I left slamming my door shut.

     After two hours packing, I was almost done. I went downstairs to see if my mom got home and to eat dinner. "Mom! Mom!", I called her why I was going down the stairs, but she still wasn't home.
    
     I got into the kitchen and opened the fridge looking for something interesting to eat.

     "Would you give me the same choice?", I closed the fridge door and turned around to look at him. "Would you make me choose between..."

     "You can't do this to me, okay? You can't just show up and say stuff like that. Why don't you just go back in L.A."

     "I will leave, if you answer me this one question."

     "What is the question?"

     "I want you to tell me do you want me in your life, but I want your complete honesty. And if you say no, believe me I'll go away for good. I just want your honesty, that's it."

    "Billy...I'm starting college tomorrow. In NYC, and I'm gonna build completely new life there and leave my past behind. Plus I have so many plans and dreams, but I'm sorry you're not in any of them."

     "I get it.", he said.

     "No, you don't get it! But that's not what I want right now...God, I hate myself for what I'm about to say.", I said. "I will tell you this, only if you promise me to go away after it and never come back in my life like you said."
