"how far away are we from that hotel?" Betty asked impatiently
"about an hour"
"uugghh do we have any food or drink my head is going to fall off or I'm going to pass out or die"
"don't be so dramatic" Cheryl scolded
they finally arrived at 12 am and ordered room service straight away
they ate their food quickly
"Are you going to wash all that blood off your face?" Cheryl asked wiping her face clean of her signature red lipstick
"I'm too tired i will in the morning, can i tell you something?"
"sure"
"you can't tell anyone" Cheryl nodded "my mother and father hit me all the time and Chic tried to get me into his business" Betty said beginning to cry
"you are not going back into that house, you and me are going to get an apartment ok?" Betty nodded wiping away tears
"As a matter of fact when we are going to get an apartment and we aren't leaving until we have one"
Cheryl went to the lobby and Betty stayed in the room and slept, Cheryl asked for a laptop to use, she found a two bedroom apartment near Pops for four hundred dollars, she bought it and arranged to pick the keys up in two days, she returned the laptop and went back up to the room and found Betty sat on the balcony
"Guess who got us an apartment!" Cheryl said excitedly
"Really?!" Betty asked smiling
"Yup"
"On the way here I saw a hair tattoo and piercing shop"
"What are you implying dear cousin," Cheryl said getting a wet cloth and cleaning the blood off Betty's face
" I want to get a tattoo and dye my hair, you don't have to but I want to"
"Count me in, matching tattoos? I want blue hair" Cheryl said
"I want bright red hair" Betty said
"Let's go" Cheryl grabbed her bag and coat
They got to the shop quickly
They walked in and saw two men with a lot of facial piercings
"Hey, we want dye jobs and tattoos" Cheryl stated
"ID?" The man asked
"Oh I hardly think that'll be necessary, Cheryl said flashing a wad of cash
"Take a seat, we will be over in a minute you two pick what colour you want your hair and what tattoos you want"
They sat down and they chose matching rose tattoos on their left shoulders, Betty got a stud nose piecing and Cheryl got a lip piercing and bright dark blue hair and Betty got bright red hair, they thanked the men and went back to the hotel but before they went in Betty spotted Josh's truck he must have followed them
"Cheryl, that's Josh's truck"
"Is he in it?" Cheryl asked
"No, I'm going to see what's in it" Betty snuck up to the truck and opened the door and saw four guns
"Get two" Cheryl said Betty reached for the gun
They heard Josh's voice
"Let's go" Cheryl whispered
They got in the car and drive away they had been driving for three hours with no sign of Josh they were ten minutes away from Riverdale when a bullet was fired at their car,
"He's behind us" Cheryl said reaching for one of the guns and firing back
Josh drove right next to Betty and fired and hit Betty's arm
"He shot me Cheryl"
"Apply pressure I'm going to drive fast"
Betty took the mesh black blouse off that she had on over a lacy black crop top and held it against her throbbing arm
Then Josh drove straight into the back of the convertible causing Betty and Cheryl to fly forward and hit their faces on the dashboard, Betty's nose began to drip blood and Cheryl cut above her eye,
They passed the infamous sign
'You are entering Riverdale the down with pep' they had seemed to had lost Josh Betty turned her phone on for the first time in what seemed like years and called the first contact she saw which was Toni
"Hello?"
"Toni it it's B- Betty"
"Oh my god are you okay where are you"
"W we a-are going to d die" Betty stuttered
"What's going on"
"Where are you?"
"At school in the student lounge with Jughead Veronica Fangs Kevin Josie and Archie"
Betty hung up
"Cheryl go to school"
"Betty we need to go to a hospital"
"Just go" The drove twenty miles over the speed limit
"What if they don't recognize us," Betty asked
"I think you have lost too much blood"
"Well we both have biker outfits tattoos piercings, blood everywhere and different hair colours"
"We are here" Cheryl help Betty out of the car they were both holding the guns, they stumbled down the hallway and slowly opened the door to the school lounge
"Who's there?" Jughead asked
"Us, long time no see," Cheryl said helping Betty
"What happened where have you been!" Toni asked
"Wait you have piercings tattoos and dye jobs!"Kevin screamed
"Why are you covered in blood" Josie asked
"Another tale for another day" Betty whispered weakly
"Who has a car and can drive us to the hospital mines totalled" Cheryl asked
"Why do you need to go to the hospital" Archie said walking towards the girls
"I have a car ladies" Josh said from behind Cheryl and Betty
