"I believed him one too many times; this was the last." She looked down at his body the gun in her hand held steady still smoking towards him. "I'm sorry Arch. But you have lied to me for the very last time."
Footsteps stopped dead behind her. "Betty! What have you done?" A chocked rough voice spoke.
"What does it look like Ronnie?" Betty's eyes still looking down at the wide eyed surprised and scared ones of Archie Andrews. "What does it look like. I had enough of Archie's lies … so I put an end to them." Her head slowly turned and stared into Veronica's eyes just a few feet from hers. "I'm free now."
Tears rolled down her cheeks. "No you aren't. You aren't free Betty. You will never be free." She wrapped her arms around her waist. "I can't protect you from this B."
"I don't need you to protect me." Betty smiled as the hand that held the gun moved to the side of her head. "I'm at peace now."
"No!" Veronica shouted just as finger pressed into the gun. Her eyes widen in horror as her screams let out in the dark Riverdale night as Betty's body crumpled at Archie's feet.
