PROMPT — March 26th, Argument
Summary: Veronica Lodge was done with her boyfriends Jughead, Sweet Pea, and Fangs not treating her like she should be when they forget another one of her events. So, she breaks up with them.

“No… No, Veronica, don’t… don’t do this, please.” Jughead whispered, begging, stepping closer to her in an attempt to hold her hand, plead with her. “Think this through.”
Veronica smiled sadly, wiping at her eyes in hopes it would keep her from crying but it only made it worse. “The thing is, I have thought this through, Jughead. I’ve held it in the last few times, but I can’t anymore. I can’t put in all the effort, I can’t pull your deadweight. All throughout the auction, instead of enjoying something I took months to plan, I got to debate with myself over staying in a relationship that clearly isn’t working or leaving.”
“Veronica, that’s not fair. We don’t get to talk about this?” Fangs cried, “we’re a team, we’re supposed to—”
“Exactly. A team!” Veronica exclaimed, the tears finally falling. “But lately it just feels like it’s just me rooting for our team and you’re on the sidelines. I love you guys, so, so much, but if you’re not going to put any effort into our relationship, then this is where it ends.”
