You Know Where I Am- Archie Andrews (2)

Part 1

Summery: Your eyes are firmly set on a certain dark haired boy not realizing who was your perfect match all along. Its only when you finally pull your eyes from him it’s when you see who is really there for you and who you really feel for.

Silence fell over you and your friend for a moment. Neither of you dared to move, or breath just looked at one another completely overtaken by your revelation. You had never admitted it out loud, hell you had barely even admitted it to yourself. But here you were telling Arch, it surprised you that he was the one you would tell. You were closer with the rest of the group an only really spoke to Archie if you both seen each other around or when the others were there, he was just there and you were the same for him. But he said nothing, he just stood watching you with his lips parted and his eyes slightly furrowed

The moment was shattered when a tear overflowed and ran down your cheek. Then everything began to move again. ‘I-I-You do?’ Archie breathed. ‘I mean, Veronica and Kevin were always guessing that there was but they were never really sure, and the rest of us. We didn’t think it was true’ You shrugged as another tear escaped. ‘Well, it is’ You look a shaky breath. ‘For me at least’ How could it be that everytime you looked at him you knew Jughead was the only one you would ever fully unload to, that he was your rock in this stupid crazy town, that if you were with him everything was okay, that once he was by your side you would be able to breath.....and he felt nothing.

With that Archie reached out wrapping his arms around you pulling you into him. The second your face hit his chest tears began to flow freely. Your arms wrapped around him as he held you his hand stroking your back. 

Later you were sitting in Calc. You were dreading this class, it was the only one you had after lunch with Jughead. You weren’t going to avoid him forever, just today, you just wanted to avoid him today. Knowing Jug he would want to talk about earlier that day and you didn’t want to have to try make up an excuse yet. You pursed your lips when you seen Veronica, Jug and Archie walk into the room. Your eyes met Archie’s and he turned to Jug muttering something before speeding up.

He smiled at you as he slipped into the seat beside you. ‘Eh’ You tilted your head to the side your eyes squinting a little. ‘Thought you need some company-other company’ You chuckled a little and smiled your eyes flicking to Juggie and you sent him a shrug. ‘Thank you’ You leaned towards Archie as Jug took his seat. ‘What did you tell him?’ Archie pulled out his calc book and opened it. ‘That I needed help with this’ You rolled your eyes. ‘You’re sitting beside Betty dumbass’ You chuckled and he shrugged leaning back in the chair. ‘Hey, you’re better at this than Betty is’ He nudged your shoulder and you smiled shaking your head.

Jughead:

Jughead leaned forwards his eyes still on you and Archie. ‘Hey’ He whispered and Veronica turned looking back at him. ‘What?’ She quirked an eyebrow. ‘Do you think anything is going on between them?’ He nodded towards the two as he watched you smile at Archie. ‘He just needs help with math’ She shrugged. ‘He sits beside Betty’ Jughead argued his head snapping back to Veronica.

She sent a quick glance at her two friends. ‘Maybe, but what would I know. I thought there was something between the two of you’ She turned back towards the front of the class with a flick of her hair. Jug just glared at the back of her head until he caught sight of Archie’s arm lying over he back of your seat. He barely greeted Betty and the confused look she gave him when she walked in. His eyes firmly focused on you and Archie for the rest of the class as he watched you lean in close to him and how Archie’s hand would tap your back every time he needed help.

Jughead cornered Archie as they let the room, you had disappeared almost before the bell had even sounded dashing out of the room and down the hall. ‘What are you doing?’ Jughead snapped at Archie. Veronica’s eyebrows shot up. ‘Going to the music room to practice’ Archie frowned. ‘Like I always do’ Jughead shook his head. ‘No’ He stepped closer his anger flaring. ‘With Y/n’ Veronica smirked her and Kevin shared a look. Kevin cleared his throat. ‘Jug, why would you care? You don’t like her?’ Veronica had to hide her smirk when the dark haired boy turned to them. ‘She’s my best friend’ He snapped and then turned back to his red haired friend. ‘And she doesn’t need some Jock all over her, so back off’ He snapped his face inches from Archie’s before stalking down the hallway leaving his friends wide eyed.

You sat watching the back of Archie’s head as he strummed the guitar in front of you on the bleachers humming notes. ‘You know you didn’t need to join me’ You smiled at him and he shrugged. ‘You normally don’t, you stay in the music room’ You took a drink of your bottle of water and grabbed the towel wiping your forehead. ‘It’s a nice day out I thought I’d watch you run’ He explained. ‘Creep’ You chuckled raising your foot and nudging him in the small of the back. He glanced up at you and smiled.

You glanced down at your watch. ‘I need to go’ You told him realizing the time. He nodded. ‘So you’re not joining us tonight?’ You shook your head. ‘Can’t parent’s aren’t home I need to look after my brother and sister’ You told him. ‘Is that an excuse or?’ He left the question open. ‘It’s actually true’ You shouldered your gear bag and patted Archie’s shoulder. ‘I’ll see you tomorrow’ He nodded still strumming away on the guitar as he said goodbye. ‘Hey’ He called as you reached the bottom of the bleachers. ‘You ever need to talk, you know where I am’ You waved at him thanking him making your way back to the school.

You backtracked slightly as you passed the music room seeing the rest of your friends in there. ‘Archie’s out at the track’ You said causing Betty to jump a little. ‘He was out there with you?’ Jug crossed his arms and you nodded. ‘He thought he’d keep me company’ You smiled slightly shuffling your feet. ‘Why would he do that? What’s going on between you two?’ He narrowed his eyes. ‘Juggie’ Betty hushed. ‘Not again’ But Juggie ignored her staring at you.

You crossed your own arms. ‘Nothing, the same that’s going on between us Jug, we’re just friends’ You smiled at the others. ‘I’ll see you all tomorrow’ You told them turning on your heel and walking down the corridor. ‘Y/n, hey’ You turned to see Jug skidding around the corner of the classroom and striding towards you. ‘I’m sorry about earlier, I didn’t mean it to be so-’ He paused for a second. ‘-harsh. I shouldn’t have said that. I’m sorry I made you leave’ You nodded giving him a tight smile.

It wasn’t Jug’s fault he didn’t feel the same way about you as you did him you couldn’t hold that against him. ‘Jug, I get it’ You shrugged. ‘I know what you mean but that wasn’t it. I just had to go, I-I still do I’m sorry I need to get home’ You turned but were stopped by a hand on your arm forcing you to face your best friend again. When you turned you caught a glimpse of the others peaking around the door. ‘Is it what Cheryl was saying about your Mom?’ He stepped closer his hand gliding down your arm to hold your hand. ‘Is everything okay?’ He squeezed your hand.

You seen Ronnie’s eyes widen and Kevin wince, you could only presume she had either hit him or was grabbing his hand very tightly. ‘It’s fine Jug, It is’ You nodded. He stepped closer and Kevin winced again and Ronnies face lit up. ‘Do you want me to walk you home?’ Jug asked quietly. Usually when you had something to tell him and you didn’t want to say it around people, or were just being stubborn and not telling him what was bothering you he would offer to walk you home. You would have accepted today only his words from earlier repeated in your head and you shook your head. ‘I’lll be fine Jug. I’ll see you tomorrow’ You leaned up on your tip-toes and pressed a quick kiss to his cheek. ‘Thank you’ You whispered and pulled your hand from his walking down the hallway towards the door.

Jughead stirred his milkshake which had definitely began to melt by now. ‘Jug?’ He heard his voice being called and looked up the gang looking at him. ‘I hurt her feelings didn’t I?’ He asked watching their reactions. All their faces softened and Ronnie sighed a little. Archie looked out the widow his eyes avoiding Jugs. ‘That’s why she didn’t come, she’s avoiding me’ He groaned.

Archie turned back to them. ‘No, she had to look after her brother and sister, her parent’s weren’t home tonight, that’s why she’s not here. Not because of you Jug’ Jug raised an eyebrow. ‘She told you that?’ Archie nodded and shrugged. ‘Yeah, I asked her why and she told me that’ Jug leaned in closer. ‘She wasn’t lying?’ Archie opened his mouth to speak but Jughead wasn’t finished. ‘Because sometimes when she lies and she’s uncomfortable about it her nose does this little wiggly thing and she bites the left side of her bottom lip. she doesn’t notice it but she does, did she do that?’ Archie gulped and shook his head.

Ronnie chuckled a little. ‘And you know this how?’ She nudged Kevin under the table and he tried not to smirk. ‘She’s my best friend, I’ve known her for years. I notice these things’ He brushed her off before turning back to Archie. ‘Did she say anything else? About why they’re not there?’ Archie shook his head. Ronnie leaned in closer to Kevin. ‘Do you notice those things about Betty?’ She whispered. ‘Not in the slightest’ Kevin shook his head muttering. Ronnie turned to him with a smirk. ‘Not sure people do if they’re not paying a crazy amount of attention to you’ Kevin shrugged and nodded a smirk on his face too.

You rubbed your temples as you listened to them fight again. Your little brother and sister were asleep, you had made sure of that and only checked them a moment before, they were out, they weren’t waking up at all tonight. You shoved your chair back from the desk and stood. Quickly you crept over grabbing your shoes and pulling them on before opening the window.

You pulled yourself out before quickly climbing down the side of the house, something you had done hundreds of times before. Your feet hit the ground and you shoved your hands into your pockets before turning away from the house and walking down the street. You just wanted to walk, and clear your head.

Part 3

What has been your worst "nice guy" experience?

So, possibly one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. I mean you know how you hear the “women want him, men want to *be* him” stuff in old movies? Well I’m a man and by *god* I wanted to be this guy. Anyway!

I’m having dinner with my girlfriend at the time, and behind us are a couple on a date. It is.. not going well. Guy was being rather creepy and making some pretty inappropriate comments, the girl doesn’t look at all comfortable.

The girl finishes her appetiser really quickly, my guess is she wanted to get it over with. Guy proceeds to comment on it and says “well, least I know you can swallow right?”. Loudly.

Girl goes red and tells him that isn’t appropriate, he literally waves his hand in a “shoo” type motion and says “oh calm down I was going to find out in a few hours anyway”.

I missed her exact reply as she moved to a hushed tone, but it was fairly obvious what was being said - fuck no, fuck off, fuck this. He responded with “sweetheart I picked you up, I know where you live”. She lost the colour in her face and said nothing.

No. No. Fuck no. I’m one of those “get involved” type of people and there is no way I’m sitting here watching this go down. I get up. I don’t know what I’m going to do, but I’m 23, fighting fit and happy to put that motherfucker through a wall. I may have had a slight temper in my youth. But anyway.

I was halfway out of my chair when a hand came down on my shoulder and I look up to this mid-50s but super fit guy who says “Easy.. I’ve got this one son”. Absolute, total confidence in his voice.. so seeing as my current plan amounted to “stab him in the neck” and I’m already thinking maybe that’s not the best idea, I sit down.

He walks over, grabs a nearby chair, flips it around and sits down with the couple. Then.. he pulls out his police ID and puts it on the table. Now the guy doesn’t have any colour in his face.

Cop: “So, I’m quietly celebrating my daughters birthday with my family when I distinctly hear you threaten this young lady, would you care to explain yourself?”

Guy: “I, ah, well, um, you see..”

Cop: “That’s what I thought. Now see, we take a *very* dim view of that kind of thing, so right now I’m deciding if I want to have some of my buddies come pick you up.”

Guy: “oh no well that…”

Cop: “But that would disrupt everyone’s dinner, so how about you hand me your ID, because I wouldn’t want you running off on me, then you go see one of the staff here and settle your bill.. the full bill now, this young lady shouldn’t go hungry on account of your poor behaviour. Or we can go with the first option, I’ll leave it up to you.”

Guy: “No no! That’s perfectly fine!” \*hands over ID, gets up and walks very quickly in the direction of the counter\*

Cop: \*while writing down the guys details\* “Sorry about that miss, I hope I’m not intruding it just seemed like you could use some help. Oh and don’t worry, if you want to pursue this further I’ll have some of the boys pick him up on his way home, we can definitely take this further.”

Girl: “No, thank you so much, I wanted to run out 30 minutes ago but he drove me here”.

Cop: \*shifts from hardarse cop to comforting father figure in about half a second\* “Well I’m here with my daughter, she’s about your age, perhaps you’d like to finish your meal with us? We can run you home afterwards if you’d like, unless you’d prefer to call someone else?”

Girl: “Oh.. that would be really nice.. thankyou so much!”

\*guy returns, so does the hardarse cop\*

Guy: “Uh so, I’ve paid the bill, if I could have my ID back..”.

Cop: “There you go.. now I have your details right here so I *highly* recommend you don’t go near or contact this young lady ever again.”

Guy: “Yes yes of course, I’m so sorry!”

The guy pretty much fled the restaurant, the girl went and sat with the cop and his family and by the time we left they were still sitting around talking and laughing about random crap.

It was hands down the best way I have ever seen anybody handle any situation, ever. That cop is my hero.

hope your pets stay healthy in 2017
