"Before we are out of town" Cheryl began as she pulled into a gas station "let's get some supplies"
"I don't have any money," Betty said feeling stupid when she realised that all she had in her pocket was was chapstick a necklace Jughead got her and her phone
"I've got you covered" Cheryl smirked pulling a backpack out from the bag of the car and showed Betty the hundreds of ten dollar bills, as much as Betty wanted to ask where Cheryl got the money she knew better than to ask
"what do you want?" Betty asked
"anything, get a lot whilst I pump gas" Cheryl said handing Betty a wad of cash
Betty got a lot of snacks varying from healthy to unhealthy
they drove all night on the freeway then stopped at a dinner for breakfast
they sat down in a booth vaguely similar to pops
"ugh my phones dead, I don't have a charger, do you have your phone?" Betty asked her fiery-tempered cousin
"left it," Cheryl said not looking up from her overcooked dry eggs
"this food is shit," Betty said stabbing her fork at her burnt waffles
"yep, let's go we will be in Ohio by nightfall we can find a hotel"
Betty was pulled from a deep sleep by the sound of Cheryl putting the roof up over the convertible the sky was dark and clear naked of stars and the moon hidden behind trees
"you're awake"
Betty only could hum in response rubbing her eyes sitting up
when did I fall asleep?"
" a few hours ago, there is a motel off the next exit we can stay there tonight," Cheryl said glancing at Betty
"Cheryl?" Betty asked quietly
"yes?"
"thank you for this, I needed it," Betty said glancing and Cheryl
"any time Betts"
it was nine at night when they arrived at the motel
"a room please," Cheryl said to the receptionist
"two beds or one?"
"two," Cheryl said producing a fifty dollar bill
"room 16," the woman said plainly
they walked into their room and sat down on their beds
"I'm going for a shower, I'll be back in a few minutes," Betty said walking into the bathroom near Cheryl's bed
she turned the light on and stripped down and wrapped a towel around her self, she looked at herself in the mirror and wiped her make up off then got in the shower
"Betty?" Cheryl said from the other side of the bathroom door
"Yes?"
"Considering we only have one outfit each, let's go shopping"
"Ok let me just put my clothes on" Betty said stepping out of the shower and drying off put her clothes on quickly, she felt a icy cold grip on her shoulder she slowly looked up into the mirror and saw the stone cold stare of the shady man, she screamed at the top of her lungs and ran out the bathroom and saw a concerned Cheryl sat on her bed
"what is everything ok?" Cheryl said standing up to comfort her trembling cousin
"i - I thought I saw the sha- never mind"
"you can tell me, Betty"
"are you sure?" Betty asked locking eyes with Cheryl
"tell me," Cheryl said
"Chic killed a man in my kitchen and my mom made me help her dispose of the body"
"oh my god," Cheryl said wide-eyed
"can we ignore the fact that I am an accessory to murder and go out shopping"
"let's go," Cheryl said grabbing her bag, they strolled out to the car and drove to a shopping center
"what do we need?" Betty asked planning where they need to go
"clothes, we need clothes toiletries and a phone charger for you," Cheryl said looking around at the shops
"is there a pharmacy here?"Betty asked quietly as she was quite ashamed of her mental health status
"no, but we could find one, why?" Cheryl asked confused
"I need to get my Adderall I didn't bring it," Betty said looking at the floor
"why do you need Adderall?"
"my therapist says I need something stronger but I don't need it so I'm sticking with Adderall for now"
"ok, if you ever need to talk" Cheryl began
"you make me sound like a charity case, don't worry I'm fine," Betty said
