Betty's POV
I walk out of the house and head for Archie's house hoping Jug will be there. I walk up the stairs leading to the door, and knock. There was silence followed with the wind shaking the leafs of trees. Jughead opens the door and looks at me. His eyes were foggy until he snapped out of his trans. His eyes lit up and he smiled. I gave him a small smile and asked him if I could come in.

"Of course." He said stepping out of the way so I could come in. I walk into his house and look around. "So.." he says awkwardly, standing behind me.

"Do you want to get out of here?" I say. He raises an eyebrow, but then drops it. "Where should we go?"

I turn around and start walking towards the door, "anywhere, but here." I turn the knob and walk out, being greeted by a small gust of wind. I look back to Jughead, "let's go investigate." He looks a little surprised, but then he smiles and follows me out the door.

Time skip~At F.P's trailer with Archie and Veronica~

Archie's POV
"We have two suspects left," I say, looking at the board that holds pictures of all the suspects Jughead and Betty have look into. The two pictures that haven't been crossed off is the Blossoms, but why would one of the Blossoms kill Jason?

"If I were a clue where would I be?" Betty says pacing back and forth.

"The only thing we have is Jason's football jacket." Veronica says, looking around F.Ps trailer for the third time. Betty jumps at Veronica's comment, Jughead, Veronica, and I run to her.

"Got something Betts?" Jughead says putting a hand on her shoulder. She smiles at us, "I always leave stuff in my pockets of my jackets,"

"Ok, so.." Veronica says confused. "So, there might be a clue in the pockets!" I say nodding to her, signaling for her to check the pockets. She puts her hands in both pockets, she frowns. After checking a bit more she stops. "What the.."

"What's up?" Veronica says leaning closer to Betty.

"There's a hole in the pocket." She reaches more into the pocket and stops, she pulls out a hard drive. We all look at the drive until someone says something, "Nancy Drew does it again." Jughead says smiling. We walk over to Betty's laptop and put the hard drive in.

The computer screen goes blank, then a black box with a play button shows up. Betty's clicks on the play button. It takes a few seconds before the video loads then it shows a storage room with a boy strapped to a chair.

"Jason.." Veronica says not looking away from the screen. I put my hand on hers and give it squeeze and she returns it.

Jason is struggling in the chair as the killer walks into the room, Clifford Blossom. They share some words and Jason struggles in the chair some more. Clifford brings out a gun from behind his back, aims it at Jason's forehead, and pulls the trigger.

Everyone jumps at the sight of Jason's murder. "Oh my god..." Veronica says crying, I pull her close to my chest and stop the tears in my eyes from falling. I close the laptop and look at Jughead.

Betty gets up from the couch and pulls out her phone. "Betty what are you..." Jughead says, but is interrupted by Betty talking to someone on the phone.

"You need to get out of there, now!" Betty says, shaking.

"I understand," the voice says from the phone, "thank you," the person on the other side of the line hangs up. Betty's looks back at me then at Jughead, she starts to shake uncontrollably, Jughead runs to her side and catches her before she falls to the ground.

She starts to cry into Jughead's chest, Jughead holds her and looks at me, "we need to tell someone, now." I nod, and look at Veronica who's now going over to Betty to comfort her. I get out my phone and call the sheriff, I explain everything to him and tell him he needs to go get Cheryl, her mom, and grandmother. I hang up on him and stare at the floor.

"It's finally over.." I say in a whisper.

Cheryl's POV
After I get the call from Betty, I stare at the mirror across from me. I see a tear fall from my face. I get up and walk down stairs to see my Mother and Father eating dinner. I walk over to my mothers side and look at my father.

"You did a bad thing, daddy," he looks up at me confused. "And now everyone knows,"

"What are you talking about, Cheryl?" My Mom says looking at my father then me. By the time I could answer, my father gets up from the table and walks out of the house and into the wine barn. I explain everything to my mother, but she has nothing to say.

"The police are coming to get daddy." I say walking towards the door. She soon follows me and meets the cops face to face. No one says a word, all we do is point to the wine barn. The police and sheriff nod, making they're way to the barn.

The police come back empty handed and say the ambulance is coming, they explain to us that daddy had hung himself. "The cowards way out.." my mom says walking back into the house. I stand there looking at the blinking lights.

Time skip~ that night~
I finished pouring the last of the gasoline in the house, I stand at the door where my mother finds me, "What the hell.." she says wide eyed.

"I'm giving us a second chance, mommy." I say smiling, I drop the candle I was holding and the house began to burn.

My mother and I walk out of the house and watch the house burn, letting our lives go with it.
