[Three days later]
Cheryl's POV
Betty and Archie were really annoying today. Petty said some things to Veronica, that weren't true. She said, that Veronica was a slut and a bitch and also, that she was the one, who actually stole Archie from her. She reminded her all the bad things, that were happening at her family. But the thing, that hurted her the most, was when she said to Veronica, all the things that Jughead was saying about her, before they started working out as friends. Hearing all those things from her, Veronica slapped Betty and started crying. Petty left and ran to Archie. I hugged V and we all comforted her.
Veronica's POV
After hearing all those shit, I couldn't help, but remember that my life is all fucked up. I cried and everyone hugged and comforted me.
"C-Can I talk with Jughead, please?"
"Sure, V. Take as much time as you want." said Toni and they left ne at the student lounge with Jughead.
"Veronica, I'm so fucking sorry. I didn't want to hurt you. I-I was talking like shit, because of your father. Please, forgive me. You are an amazing person and you have nothing to do with your father, I swear."
"Jug, I am not mad at you. I'm really not..."
"Then why are you so upset and sad?"
"Because no one loves me here. No one needs me. I have nobody."
"You are so wrong. You have us. Me, Cheryl, Kevin, Toni. And we love you. We need you. I need you."
Veronica smiled at me and we hugged for a couple of seconds. Later, I found Petty and I had a serious argument with her, but Archie showed up and we started fighting. As you probably guessed, we both went to the principal.
"Mr. Jones and mr. Andrews."
"Yes, mr. Honey?" I said.
"We were you fighting again at the student lounge?"
"He started it!" we both said and glared at each other.
"Silence! Mr. Jones, what happened? Why did you hit mr. Andrews so hard?"
"Because, his girlfriend, Betty Cooper, talked shit to my friend, Veronica Lodge and made her feel incredibly bad and I got angry, so I found Betty and told her not to talk like that to Veronica and then, Archie showed up out from nowhere and started hitting me. I had to fight back, mr. Honey."
"Yeah, Betty wouldn't say the truth to Veronica if she didn't make her feel like shit at the first place."
"This wasn't the truth!"
"Screw you, Jones."
"Fuck you, Andrews!"
"Language! This is a school and you have to behave." yelled mr. Honey.
"I decided, that you two will get in detention for three days and learn how to behave."
"How the hell is that fair?!" I yelled back.
"I'm telling you here, this asshole with his slut hurted my best friend's feelings. God, he was cheating on her with Petty for two weeks or something and Veronica had already family drama at her house with Hiram Lodge! She is hurt and that's because of him! Can't you fucking understand that?!"
I was so pissed with mr. Honey.
"LANGUAGE, MR. JONES! Mrs. Lodge may have family drama and lost her boyfriend, but these are problems, that she has to deal with and not me. It's not my bussiness."
"You are a fucking ass!"
"This is it, you are suspended, young man!"
"I don't fucking care! It may be better that way, but Andews is the one, who really deserved to be suspended."
I walked out of his office and slammed the door with anger. People here are so heartless. And the more I think about it, the more I realize, that I used to be the same shit as them.
I used to say horrible things about Veronica. And that was, because everytime I looked at her, I saw her father. I couldn't understand, that V was such an amazing human being. She deserved happiness. She deserved a family. She deserves the world. Fuck, she is just like me. My family is ruined. How could I be so fucking blind?!

Veronica's POV
I was with Toni and Cheryl, when Kevin walked towards us with a shocked expression on his face.
"What's up, Kev? Why this face? Did something happen?" asked Toni.
"I just learnt, that Jughead got suspended."
"He what?!" I was as shocked as my friends.
"Yes, V. He had a serious argument with mr. Honey and he got suspended."
"Why would he do something like that?"
"Veronica..."
"Tell me, Kevin."
"He did this for you. He also gave me a note before he left."
He handed me a piece of paper and I opened it.
I really tried.
This is what it was saying.
"Kevin, what did Jughead do?"
"I just heard some yells from the principal's office."
My eyes were glossy. Why, why do I always have to destroy the people, I care about? I keep doing this eveywhere I go. I fucking got Jughead suspended.
Cheryl, Toni and Kevin hugged me. I wanted to cry, but I didn't want to be a crybaby. I wanted to talk to Jughead.
"V, were are you going?"
"I'm skipping school, Toni. Tell mr. Brown, that I wasn't feeling so good."
"V!"
"Please, Toni. Just let me go."
"Fine...I'll tell him, that you had a horrible headache again."
"Thank you."
I ran out of the Riverdale High, making my way to the bunker. To Dilton's bunker.
[After a while]
Jughead's POV
I was laying on my bed. I couldn't think or sleep or do anything. Suddenly, I heard footsteps. I got up from the bed and saw Veronica. What was she doing here? Wasn't she supposed to be at school?
"Jug, hi."
"Veronica. You are supposed-"
"To be at school. I know. I just learnt that you got suspended and..."
Veronica sat down next to me.
"I don't want to get you in trouble, Jughead. My life is all fucked up and I have no family. I am alone here. And the last thing I want to do, is to get you in trouble, because I am a drama queen."
"Ron, you are not a drama queen. And you won't get me in trouble. I am in trouble, because I chose to be. I couldn't stand the fact, that I was being punished and Archie or Betty wasn't. They are the bitches. Not us."
I held her hand and she looked at it.
"And as for the alone part... You are not alone. You have your friends. Our friends. You have...you have me. And I will always be by your side."
"Juggie, you are so sweet."
"I am so sorry, that all those years, I couldn't understand and see how beautiful you were and still are."
"I forgive you."
I got closer and hugged her. She hugged me back and I pulled away, holding her shoulders.
"You are so important to me."
We stared at each other's eyes. I can say, I got lost in hers....
Author's POV
Jughead and Veronica were staring at each other's eyes for a few minutes. They both started leaning in, until their noses were touching. Jughead leaned a bit more in and now, their lips were brushing.
"I like you so much, Veronica.." he said and closed the gap between them. At first, Veronica didn't kiss back, but after a few seconds passed, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him. Jughead was shocked. He didn't thought, that Veronica would actually kiss him back.
Veronica's POV
I was kissing him back. His lips were so soft and warm. He made me feel safe. After one minute I think, we pulled away, staring again at each other's eyes.
"You kissed me back.."
"Jug..."
"No, please. Don't ruin the moment. All this time, I was quietly into you. I didn't tell you, because I didn't want to ruin our frienship, Ronnie. But your lips...I just couldn't help it. "
"I like you, Jughead Jones the third."
"Wait..You really do??!"
"I-I...yes. I haven't understood this the whole time. All I needed was a kiss, to make me realise, that I have feelings for you."
Jughead kissed me again and we both smiled. This is the man I need. He makes me feel special and safe. He has nothing to do with Archie. He is mr. I'm weird, I'm a weirdo. And I like it. I like, that he doesn't care to admit it. And I want to be a weirdo, too. His weirdo.
As we pulled away, Jughead got up from the bed and kneeled in front of me.
"I was going to ask you..."
"Oh my God, don't tell me, that you are going to propose! I'm not ready."
We both laughed and he took my hand and kissed it.
"Will you be the Serpents queen? My Serpents queen?"
I jumped on him and kissed him with passion.
"Yes, Jones, I will be your Serpents queen."
We smiled and chuckled. This was probably the most amazing moment in my life.
