- Veronicas point of view -

- oh you know strong as a lodge. Archie joked trying to cover for Me. I Loved him But he was a terrible liar.
- Archie that's the worst lie I ever heard. It's okay I'll tell them just not here. I  said calmly.
We all got up and walked to the park.
-okay sit down and then I can tell you. I Said and sighed. We sat down on one of the benches.
- so my real name isn't Veronica Brooks. My name is Veronica Lodge. I said and paused.
They looked at Me shocked.
- wait a minute, you have the same last name as one of the most notorious hit man Hiram Lodge ? Jughead asked.
- My dad is Hiram Lodge. I whispered. They both looked at me in shock and disbelief.
- how can you protect someone like that? What if he killed Jason ? Betty asked.
- he did, because Jason tried to force himself on me before Archie stopped him. I Said now they where both quiet not sure what to say.
- I'm so sorry Veronica none deserves that. Betty said and gave me a hug.
- Jason was a creep. Jughead said and hugged me.
- thanks Guys , but you can't tell anyone about this ! Swear to me you'll keep my secret. I pleaded . Jughead looked at Betty who seemed thorn but then he took her hand and looked at me.
- we promise but let me ask you one thing. He said to me. I just nodded.
- you've never thought about turning him in ? He asked. A memory flew into my mind.

* flashback*

My dad was packing his things in his bag in a hurry.
- but I don't want to leave! I said mad.
- damn it Mija we have to don't you understand we're in trouble ! He said angrily.
- no dad, You're in trouble not us so why do we have to pay for your mistake. I asked sad.
- we are family Veronica. He said stopping to look at me.
- maybe I don't want to be a killers daughter. I said mad.
- don't say that. He said and slammed his fist on the table.
- why not maybe I should turn you In so mum and I could live in peace. I spat.
- I've killed before mija don't make me do it again.

*End Of Flashback*

- he'll kill me before the words leave my lips. I said not knowing I was crying.
