Betty's POV (1 year later)
------------------------------
It's been one year to this day since I moved from our little town of riverdale to Portland, Maine some where unpredictable in which they'll never find me. Life is barely bearable here I live in a tiny apartment that I'm able to pay for by working 2 jobs after school. One as a tutor and as a waitress at a place similar to Pop's called Ma's. I've taken a new name Lili Reinhart a 16 year old girl who moved from Florida to Maine who lives with her 'aunt'. Nobody knows that I ran away and live alone. I have no friends and am bullied at school. So life pretty much sucks the only good thing is being away from riverdale. Archie and Veronica call me everyday and leave voicemails in tears. Apparently Polly's back with the sisters and Mom went to an insane asylum. Dad moved out of state. Archie and Veronica are still looking for me. Kevin is back together with Joaquin. And no ones been in contact with Jughead but apparently he's causing some real havoc being leader of the serpents. I missed them all dearly in some way but I had to leave. But I still wonder to this day what would of happened if I listened to him and stayed but everyone knows the good girl and the mysterious dark loner were never meant for each other anyways.

Archie's POV (1 year later)
-----------------------------------
"It's been one year Archie and we still haven't found her!" Veronica cries into my shoulder as I soothingly rub her arm. "I know Ronnie but we'll find her someday. I promise." I tell her as Pop sets our milkshakes on the table. "Still haven't found her?" He asks and I shake my head and he frowns as he walks away. Not to long after I hear the bell on the door ring as I hear the familiar laughter of an old friend of mine Jughead Jones. "I'll be right back Ronnie." I tell her as I give her a kiss on the cheek. "Archie wait." She tells me but it's to late I run up to him and give him a slight tap on the shoulder. "What?" He asks me harshly. "Do you know where Betty is?" I ask even know they broke up I still need to know to hang on to the little hope I had left. "No and why would I care?" He asked but still sounds concerned just the how I asked him today one year ago. "Because she's been missing for one year Jug and it's all because of you!" I scream and threw the letter she wrote before she left at him and watched his facial expression soften as he read.

Jughead's POV
------------------
Has it really been one year. It feels like yesterday we broke up but yet I'm still not over her and I don't think I ever will be. I'm so scared to think she's in the big wide world somewhere all alone and I wish I could be there for her. I pick of the paper and begin to read her delicate fragile words on the thin crumbled piece of plane white paper which said. "And finally to you Juggie my Romeo who I doubt will ever read this you need to know that you've brought so much joy to my life and let me start living I'll miss you most of all with your perfect crown beanie and dark locks of hair, warm blue green eyes, and strong warm comforting arms. And I want you to know that I miss you and will miss you even more when I'm gone. So my Romeo "I love you like the stars above,I'll love you till I die" so just know I love you now and will love you forever." I read and my mouth drops. "Oh Juliet I'll love you till I die" I murmur. I never thought she'd leave because of me but I mean look what I've become. I'll get my Betty back no matter what  it takes because there was never a greater love story than Romeo and his Juliet.
