Author's Note: Hi guys, here I am!
Again, thank you to Boris Yeltsin, glad you enjoyed the updates.
Read on everybody! I do not own Riverdale.
Chapter 26
Betty is sitting on her bed, writing in her diary, when her parents knocked and opened the bedroom door.
Betty looks up as Hal entered, with Alice behind him.
"Hey, honey," said Hal. "We just wanted you to know, it's gonna be a bit of a late night for us."
"It's gonna be a lot of late nights for us." Alice piped up.
"I mean, an accidental drowning, who cares?" She scoffed. "But the possibility that the sociopathic son of the wealthiest family, was possibly murdered?"
"It's going to be a national obsession waiting to happen." Alice remarked.
"He's barely in his watery grave, Alice." Hal pointed out, not agreeing with his wife's notion of exploiting the Blossoms in the Register.
"His body has yet to be found, and on top of that, our oldest daughter is still missing."
"Can you warm up the car, Hal?" Alice asks her husband, dismissing any incoming conversations about Jason and Polly. "I'll be right down,"
Hal inhales and leaves the room.
Alice walks over to her youngest daughter.
"Betty. You know what I love most about you?" She asked, sitting on the bed.
"It's that you always want to see the good in people. Even people like Cheryl Blossom and Veronica Lodge and Archie Andrews. But when they betrayed you this weekend, you saw their true colors, didn't you?"
Betty didn't like how Alice was nagging at her about Veronica, Archie, and even Cheryl, she nevertheless put on the good girl façade.
"I did, I definitely did." Betty reluctantly agreed.
"So, no backsliding," Alice advised. "No Cheryl, no Veronica, and…"
"No Archie," Betty finished.
Meanwhile, the doorbell rings and Archie opens the door to find Betty Cooper herself standing there.
"Walk me to school?"
To be continued…
A/N: Yeah, that was a short chapter. But after the next short two chapters, there'll be longer ones.
More ahead!
