* Black Hood gets unmasked while also being arrested. Betty sits all alone watching as her enemy gets taken away by the police when one by one, each of her friends show up *

"You. You made me lose the trust of my mother. You made my best friend hate me. You made my boyfriend think i hate him. I hope you rot all alone in that cell." Betty says. One single tear falling down her soft cheek. Her face is red with anger.

Black Hood doesn't say anything before he gets ushered into the cramped back seat of the sheriffs car.

And still, as they drive off, Betty stands all alone. The person that's caused all of her pain is gone but the actual pain is still very much there.

"Betty?" a small voice calls behind her. There stands Veronica with open arms. Betty doesn't even think twice as she runs into her best friends embrace.

"I'm sorry, V. He made me say all those horrible things to you. He told me he'd-"

"Shh." Veronica stops her from finishing he sentence. "I understand why you did it. It's okay. We're okay." she reassures her.

Betty sobs into Veronica's arms until she feels a hand on her shoulder. She looks up seeing Kevin standing there with his charming smile.

"Oh my god, Kev. I'm sorry i've been so cold towards you." she hugs him.

"You did what you had to." He says pulling away from their embrace. Behind Kevin, stands Archie. Betty quietly walks over to him trying to read his face for the answer she wants. She needs.

He slowly shakes his head no. Even more tears – that she didn't know she had – start pouring out of her eyes. He's not coming.

She puts her head down as she starts to give up hope for her relationship. Veronica walks up to Betty from behind to place her hand gently on her back to comfort her.

That's it. Betty's lost. Drowning in her own tears. The only person she's ever loved as much as she does, is gone. He must hate her for how she's been treating him and she honestly doesn't blame him.

She would do anything to tell him she doesn't mean it. That she was being threatened and if she didn't do it he might be hurt, or worse.

All these thoughts spiralling while she collapses into Veronica's arms. Thinking that her tears will never stop. They'll just keep coming and coming until she doesn't have anymore. And then what?

Betty feels Veronica stiffen. She pulls away when she about to question it when she sees Veronica looking. into the distance not moving. A smile starts to spread on her face.

Not understanding, Betty turns to what Veronica's looking at and there he stands.

In his light blue denim fur coat, Jughead Jones stands before Betty Cooper. In this moment, no one else exists. It's just the two of them. Wrapped in their own little universe that they never want to leave.

"Jug," Betty starts.

"Don't say anything." Jughead interrupts. "Just come here."

She doesn't let him change his mind. She quickly closes any visible distance between them. She throws her arms around her beloveds neck.

"None of it was true, Jug. He made me say those awful lies." Betty tries to explain though the tears still pouring down her cheeks.

"Hush. I know." Jughead starts to tear up. "I'm sorry i wasn't here sooner. And i'm sorry i didn't fight for us."

"Betty, i've never hated myself more than i have the last couple of weeks. I knew something was wrong with you but i was too distracted to confront you or ask you what was going on.

"And i am so truly sorry." Jughead sobs into Betty's shoulder.

She pulls away and grabs his face in between her hands. "Stop. I don't ever want to hear you say that." she wipes a tear that trickles down his face.

He starts to bend down to kiss the one person on this planet who he loves and cherishes the most.

The second their lips mold to each other, it's like they've been silently choking. Suffocating. And they've just received oxygen is their lungs again.

Coming back to planet earth, they realize that their still in the public eye so they pull apart.

"I love you . I'll never stop loving you." Betty says putting her forehead against his, not letting his lips out of her sight.
