I made a Pinterest board for this fic. It has a section about Betty's style, My OC's styles and what Betty's social media would look like

Anyway, here's the link, if it doesn't work then either search fanfic116 in accounts or When it all comes crashing down in boards.

Chapter 13

Betty laid on the couch and drank her meal replacement she had a nap then woke up a few hours later and started heading towards the stairs

"If you're going to smoke can you go out outside please, don't wanna stink out Alice's house, shed kill us both"

Betty laughed and made her way outside. She struggled but managed to sit herself down on the top step. She laid her crutches down and lit a cigarette. When she had finished she put it out under her shoe. She had been outside for a few minutes, watching the road, flinching every time a car drove by; when she heard voices coming toward her. She looked over it was Veronica and Archie.

"fuck me" She mumbled.

They didn't seem to notice her until they were directly in front of her.

"Betty, we-" Betty cut her off my doing a shooing gesture with her hand to indicate to them to leave. "I just need some time" They didn't budge at first. Betty continued to ignore them and eventually they moved along.

"see Wyatt, I told you they give up on my easily" Betty stated. She turned her head and saw Wyatt sat next to her. She was shocked to actually see him.

"but that's exactly what you wanted" She heard him say.

"hush" She fell comfortably back into talking to him. He'd left an empty void.

"it's cold, go inside you don't want to catch a cold" Wyatt said.

"okay." She hollered for Cassie, who came out and helped her up.

Betty woke up in the middle of the night. She'd relived the crash in her sleep again. She shot up but cried out at the shooting pain in her stomach. Cassie came running in. '

"just a nightmare and my stomach" Betty whispered. Cassie climbed in bed with Betty and held her close. It reminded Betty of Veronica's birthday and how Wyatt comforted her.

A month later

Betty was still seeing and talking to Wyatt every day. maybe it was the grief making her see him. She didn't want to tell anyone. They would put her on more meds and make it so she can't see him anymore. Cassie had gotten all of their stuff sent to Riverdale including all of Betty's clothes but she was still just wearing Wyatt's clothes.

She had successfully ignored and avoided her ex friends for a month. She kept silent in class and stayed away from them. Except for in Newspaper but she stayed to herself and just sat there headphones, on. Glad they got the message and didn't attempt anything. But she could tell they were starting to get restless

One morning Betty had to walk alone to school, Cassie was starting a job in Riverdale General Hospital. Betty left her stuff in her locker knowing she wouldn't be able to carry it all alone. She never properly shut her locker as she couldn't open it with her hand and still hadn't gotten good at using her left hand.

She limped through the school to her locker. Which was unfortunately near her old friends' and Archie and Kevin were there. She tried and failed to open her locker with her non-dominant hand. Someone must have shut it.

"Just ask them to help" She looked up to see Wyatt leaning on the locker next to her.

"no"

"well how else are you gonna get your stuff"

"urgh fine" She turned to Archie.

"Betty" He said hesitantly.

"please could you open my locker for me I can't do it" She asked quietly

"yeah sure" He opened it for her. She painfully grabbed her bag and hung it on her Crutch.

"thanks" She whispered.

"we were wondering if- "

"I gotta get going bye" She stated.

"that was rude" Wyatt said beside her

"I have the right to be a little rude" She said she saw people staring at her. "people are probably thinking I'm talking to myself"

"maybe they're just shocked to see you did disappear for nearly a year and you look"

"a mess"

"a beautiful mess"

"I have homeroom now" Betty made her way to homeroom slowly. She still couldn't put any pressure on her leg. Luckily no one she really wanted to avoid was in her homeroom. She had math and biology, she had still managed to avoid everyone, only Veronica and Jughead were in her math class and Cheryl and Archie in biology and she had sat far enough away from them that they couldn't try and talk to her. At lunch, she sat alone and called Wyatt's phone and left a voice message.

"I miss you. I still see you and talk to you, maybe I'm going crazy" She laughed a little "if we were both home right now we'd be going off campus to smoke and eat and watch Elijah try and get dates with everyone he sees"

She looked around to see if anyone was looking at her. A few were.

"I'm doing my physio exercises a lot the sooner I get better the sooner I can go home." She sighed "I love you" She put the phone down and looked up.

Wyatt was sat in front of her. She grinned.

"do you remember the time we accidently started a food fight between everyone on our table.

"okay that was Roma's fault"

"nope it was totally yours"

"okay mine and Roma's" Betty admitted. "I wonder what they're doing right now"

"you should call them" Wyatt advised "after you finished your meal drink. You have to get your energy up for gym"

"urghh" She scoffed but complied

"I am looking forward to seeing you in shorts again"

"I'm not"

"so you only have a few minutes left so if you're gonna call them then do it"

"It's going to take a few minutes to get to the girl's locker room so I best go now" She threw her empty meal replacement in the trash and left slowly. She walked into the changing room. It started filling up. Veronica and Cheryl were a few lockers away. She struggled but managed to take her jacket off. She also managed to change into a pair of short gym shorts. She heard gasps when her brace was fully in sight. She'd ditched all of her gym classes up till now but after hearing that the physio wasn't having the desired effect she wanted to try anything.
