Mary and Betty still weren't speaking to each other, they  were the Olivia De Havilland and Joan Fontaine of Riverdale right now. Mary, Betty, Archie, Jughead, Veronica and Kevin were all sitting in the Student Lounge. 

"My mom and dad don't want to get the police involved." Mary muttered sitting on the arm of chair that Archie was sitting in. Betty couldn't even look at her.

"They don't want anyone to know that she ran away, or about her shameful condition." Betty added on and whispered the last bit. 

"Please." Veronica exclaimed. "What decade is this?" Veronica asked rhetorically. Mary just nodded her head in agreement. 

"Also, since she knew where Jason's getaway car was, they're afraid people might think that she burned it and that if she did." Mary started to explain before Archie started to speak. 

"She could be the murderer, trying to cover her tracks." Mary just nodded her head with agreement.

"Who did burn the car, then?" Veronica asked. Mary looked over to see Reggie speaking to the burnouts off the school and that was strange due to her weird behaviour around them and not his usual bullying behaviour. 

 "Sheriff Keller says it's possible someone was following us." Betty explained leaning in closer to Jughead.

"Oh, my God." Kevin exclaimed.

"Honestly, guys, we should just move." Veronica added on looking at everyone.

"Trust me." Mary muttered. "I will move as soon as I leave." She added on looking at her feet. 

"And I can't wait for that." Betty added on smiling cynical. Mary just rolled her eyes and everyone had fallen silent. 

"Guys, what if Polly's really hurt? What if whoever killed Jason is coming after her next?" Mary muttered to herself and Betty just rolled her eyes and stood up.

"Mary you don't even like Polly!" Betty shouted walking up to Mary who stood up and they both stood centimetres apart. "Are you doing this for sympathy? Because you crave attention don't you." Betty extended and Mary held back the tears. 

"Betty what the hell is your problem?" Mary screamed and people began to look at the sisters fighting. 

"You! You stayed at home all summer and then murders happened, drama happened!" Betty shouted and Archie butted in.

"Betty come on." He added but everyone else just shook their heads at him.

"Are you saying that I am the murder, that I cause everything. I am the problem!" Mary shouted and Betty just nodded her head.

"If the shoe fits." Betty smirked and Mary just stormed away.

"MOVE!" Mary screamed marching down the corridor in anger. Betty just sat back down and Jughead continued the conversation.

"Betty, even though your parents don't want to, maybe you should go to the police." Jughead said and Kevin eagerly jumped in.

"Second it." He shouted. "We can talk to my dad together about how he has to be discreet." He extended but Jughead shook his head.

"No offense, Kev, but your dad answers to a higher authority than God, the Blossoms. They're the first people that he would tell."

"And if there's anyone to keep this a secret from, it's the Blossoms." Archie added on looking over at Betty. 

"They'd twist it around and go after Polly out of spite." Betty sighed and Veronica looked over at her.

"How can we help? Tell us, B, and we'll do it." Veronica replied and everyone smiled at Betty. Everyone was on Betty's side and Mary just felt isolated, she always did.
