Never Leave Me {Archie X Reader}

Summary: with the help of your friends, you’ve managed to break Archie out of juvie, but not with consiquinces and not without injury. It’s been rough without him and now it seems like it’s going to be even more rough with him back in your life

Warnings: swearing, mentions of violence and blood

It had been only just 2 days since we pulled off the most incredible plan in all of riverdale a history. Jughead, Betty and I managed to break Archie out of jouvie but now we were left hiding in a share BnB in Greendale

Archie sat on the front hall bench staring off into space breathing heavily (gif above) I stopped cooking for a second and rushed over to him and knelt down in front of him

“Arch, Baby are you ok?” I waved on his face to try and get his attention

He didn’t budge but beads of sweat began to form on his forehead and his breathing got heavier

“Archie, it’s me are you ok? Tell me what I can do to help” I put my hand on his knee

It had been hell for the last bit since he got out, he would loose focus and just break down. I was mostly on my own to take care of him but sometimes Jughead and Betty would manage to stop by, no one else knew we had any clue where Archie was.

I move my hand from his knee to his cheek trying to calm his nerves

I had set off something in Archie, he jumped back and roughly shoved me off of him causing me to loose balence and fall onto the hardwood floors in the front hall. I knew it wasn’t his fault but it still hurt me, I began to tear up because I couldn’t help him in any way, but also because I cut a part of my arm on the shoe rack in the entrance

Archie blinked rapidly “y/n, shit I’m sorry I didn’t mean to I just got in a bad place -shit I’m sorry I didn’t even recognize you” he stuttered and rushed to help me off the ground

“Arch, as long as you’re ok I’m ok, I’ll be fine” I held his hand

“You’re bleeding” he sighed at his own mistake

“Barely, it’s fine I’ll wash up. Go rest I’ll bring you some food soon” I kissed his cheek right next to one of the many marks left by the punch of some other inmate

I washed my minor injury and grabbed some fruit and water to bring to archie who was watching the news in the apartment living room

“They’re after me” he tossed the remote while rubbing his eyes. I set the tray of food on the coffee table in front of us and sat next to Archie

“Archie, I’m sorry” I welled up with tears again

“For what? It’s not your fault. I never should have gone to that cabin weekend Veronica is bad news” Archie got stressed again

I handed Archie a glass of water and changed the channel to some dumb kids show

“I love you” he said softly

“I love you more” I covered us with a blanket and sat close to Archie until he eventually managed to fall asleep on the couch, I got up slowly so he could stretch out I looked at the clock and noticed it was almost 6:00 in the evening

I made myself some tea and sat on the small bed in the studio apartment we were renting choking back tears in pain for Archie and what he was going through

I was walking out to towards the kitchen when my phone started to ring, I was shocked and dropped and broke my glass mug

Archie shot awake and started to panic, once again I had fucked up and set him off

“I’m sorry! Arch it’s me -my fault I’m sorry!” I ran toward him and held his shoulder to calm him down but nothing was working

He started to mumble random phrases and still ended in a state of panic

“I’m here, I dropped something it’s just me!” I cried and shouted trying to get Archie to return to reality

I ran to my phone and read the caller ID and picked it up

“Jughead, he’s panicking again but I can’t get him to calm down I don’t know what to do” I bit my nails and tried getting Archie to breathe

“I’m downstairs that’s why I called, y/n buzz me up I’ll help” Jughead sounded frantic but much calmer than me. I unlocked the door and buzzed him up and he came into the apartment and sat in front of Archie trying just as hard as I was

“Archie, buddy it’s me and y/n everything is alright breathe buddy breathe” Jughead tried but failed to get Archie attention

“Jughead! I don’t know what to do please help! Should I call 911?” I panicked

“Call 911 to tell them the criminal on the run they’re looking for is having a panic attack because he escaped jail?” Jughead asked sarcastically but Archie just panicked more

“Shit I’m just-“ I was cut off my Jughead slapping Archie clean across the face I jumped at the noise and rushed closer to Archie who was now way more aware

“Archie, are you ok?” I begged

“Can I have some water?” He asked softly

Jughead got him a glass of water while I sat next to him and comforted him

“I’m sorry, I keep hurting you” I felt awful

“No, you’re doing your absolute best and I couldn’t ask for more. I’m causing you all too much pain” he shook his head

“What do you mean arch?” Jughead questioned

“I keep ruining everyone in riverdales lives all for my own benefit. I’m awful y/n” he put his face in his knees

“stop it, you’re amazing and right now is just a rough time we can get through” I rubbed the back of his neck

“What are we going to do? How are we going to get out of this?” He questioned

“You just sit back and focus on recovery. We will figure something out Archie I promise” Jughead reassured Archie

Just then we were cut off by a phone ringing and a knock on the door
