The Story Of Veronica Lodge

Chapter 16

Can we just take a minute and appreciate how Camila and Madelaine slayed that performance. Ok ok back to the story.

Betty Cooper's POV (different person don't get confused)

I didn't know where I was. I was with Archie and Jughead, we were looking for Veronica. Veronica!

"Veronica! Where are you? Veronica!" I screamed, so loudly I could feel my throat burning.

"There's no use in screaming dearie. We've already killed your friends. You're next." Mrs. Cliff, the funeral home director, assured.

"What are you doing here? Did you get captured too? Will you help me find Veronica?" I asked.

"I'm the one who kidnapped you guys!" Mrs. Cliff said, holding a gun up to my head, "Any last words?"

"You won't shoot me, because if you do, the police will track us and arrest you." I finalize.

She stares in disbelief. She opens her mouth to speak, but no words came out. I screamed and kept screaming for help. I wasn't tied up, so I could easily move. I wonder what mom is doing right now, is she trying to find me as well? I get up and make my way to the door. But I keep falling. My legs are like jelly. I keep walking, I need to get to Veronica. Mrs. Cliff raises her gun at me.

"Don't shoot me." I say, as I walked into the hall.

"Veronica! Veronica can you here me!?" I hear two voices yell.

"Guys it's me Betty! Help!" I call out to them.

I hear footsteps running towards me. Archie and Jughead. They see me and I signal them to be quiet. "We don't want to get caught" I mouth. They nod in response. They followed me through the halls. Until we heard screaming. It was very muffled, so we didn't know if it was Veronica or not.

"Veronica!" Jughead, of all people, call out.

The screaming became louder. We twisted and turned through different halls. The screaming was only getting louder. The muffled screams of my best friend, made me cry. I kept going, I needed to find her.

And there she was. Her hands chained to the wall. Her arms and legs covered with blood and cuts. Her head, not even able to lift itself up. Her dress ripped. Her pearls gone. Her mouth taped shut. She was helpless. But her hair, was still properly split down the middle. I smiled, we found her. I stood there as Archie and Jughead rushed to unchain her. We found her.

Jughead and Archie lift her up. They consume her in their arms, she's crying. But her smile is still there. I can't focus. I have no words.

"Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Tha-" Veronica was crying.

"We wanted to help you Ronnie," Jughead says, "We would've helped you if you were stuck in a tree for all I know. You little spoiled rich kids."

"Juggie!" Veronica snaps, "You're not so bad I guess. "

Archie didn't say anything. He was crying himself. I didn't understand how he could fall for her in such a short amount of time. We've known each other since preschool. But I have Juggie now. But even he seems so interested in V. What's so special about her. She's pretty, yeah, gorgeous. She's rich. She's funny. She can sing. But I can be all those things, if I tried.

"Where Betty boo?" Ronnie asked.

"I'm over here V." I reply.

"What did they do to you?!"

"They didn't do anything to me. Just locked me in a room. Why did she do this to you?"

"Mrs. Cliff was mad at my father, for loving my mother. So she took the next best thing, me. But she didn't realize he was dead until I went to plan a funeral for him. Not someone else. So she blamed me."

"I'm sorry V. I should've came with you."

I was engulfed into a hug. I could feel Veronica's tears, strolling down my neck. I'm sorry I doubted you.

"Come on let's get you out of here." Archie said, wiping his own tears.

We ran through many hallways. Archie had to carry Veronica, for she hadn't eaten in days, and was so weak.

"Where do you think you're going?" Mrs. Cliff questioned.
