This takes place after the time jump and Jug,Arch and V are all crashing at Bettys house. Btw her mom is not home and no one knows about Bettys 'troubles'.

Veronica,Archie and Jughead were all staying at Bettys house until they had somewhere to go while they're fixed Riverdale. But no one really talked about the last seven years and mostly just about the present. It was easier to focus on that then re-living everything everyone has faced throughout the years apart.

Veronica was married and her husband was controlling and manipulative. Archie had just got back from war with no contact from all the friends he had made during those days because they had either passed away or just stopped talking. Jughead was a published writer and had problems with girls and was supposed to write his second novel but couldn't because of writers block. Betty was training with the FBI and had made a decision to follow of hunch of a serial killer which resulted in being held captive and a lot of PSTD. But all they were trying to do now was save the place where they had memories and their childhoods. The small town of riverdale.

It was their first night home after pops. They all talked for a while before going to bed. Around three in the morning a scream filled the house. It was so loud enough that everyone on the block could hear it. Someone sounded like someone was in pain,excruciating pain.

First Veronica woke up in Pollys old bedroom because she was a light sleepover. Then Archie who was sleeping on a blow up mattress next to the couch where Jug was sleeping. Veronica ran down to see Arch and Jug looking at each other in shock and trying to adjust to the light. Then they realized who's scream it was. Betty!

They ran upstairs to Betty sleeping but screaming with a thin layer of sweat over her body. She was gripping onto the sheets so tightly her knuckles were going a pale white color. She had shorts on revealing scars on her thighs and her shirts was rolled up a little to show a bigger scar on her stomach. It was like a scene straight out of a horror movie.

A of a sudden there was a noise coming from downstairs which sounded like a slamming door and shattering glass. Betty sat up in a panic and we a shot our gaze back over to her. She slowly moved her body to the side of her bed and looked around a bit.

Veronica then said "what's going on Betty?" "He's here,it's true"she whispered under her breath. They all looked around in confusion and then back at B. She then whispered "Veronica hide under the bed,Jug guard the door for V and Archie I need you for backup" all while pulling gun out her draw.

At first they all just froze and then as Betty started walking out the bedroom they took action. She walked down the stairs quickly and cautiously nervous of what she would find. As she got to the bottom with Archie right behind her she looked left. Nothing. Then right and saw a figure with their back turned.

She held her gun up as they turned around. It was Polly coming home from a night out drunk. She let a shaky breath out she didn't even know she was holding in as the pair made their way back upstairs in relief.

When she walked back through the bedroom door she started getting back into bed until Archie spoke up. "What just happened?"
"It was nothing" she said closing her eyes.
"No but B you were screaming" V said in panic.
"It's fine,it's just because Toffees not here" she explained.
"Who's Toffee?"the raven haired girl asked.
"My cat,she usually keeps me company".
"Betty what were you dreaming about?" Jug asked out of curiosity.
"I can't tell you because if I do you will treat me differently like everyone else I know" the blonde girl said tearing up a little at the memory.
"You can the tell us and we won't treat you any differently we promise" Arch said and the other nodded in agreement but Betty was already asleep with all the sleepless nights starting to take a toll on her.

The next next morning she did tell them what happened,fully trusting them. They helped her in any ways they could from hugs and talks in the middle of the night to helping with the mystery and going to therapy sessions to calm her down more. It was a roller coaster of emotions but in the end it all worked out.
