When they're reunited four years later, will either of them be able to forgive the other for the life-changing secrets that they have both held close? Because, the thing is, Jughead Jones hadn't just left behind the love of his life that night...

He'd left Riverdale behind 15 months ago, following his mom to Toledo. He'd left HER behind. Now Jughead Jones is home, and he's finding that nothing is the same in the wake of Jason Blossom's unsolved murder. The deeper he digs into the crime, the clearer he sees the real danger to Betty. But will she see the truth & find her way back to the light? Season one AU, eventual Bughead.
