Emily's POV
I was in the student lounge with everyone. Betty was telling us about how she found Polly hiding in her attic last night.
" I don't want Polly to run away. But if she can't live at home, then I don't know, I can rent her an apartment." Betty said sadly
" Let me talk to my mom." Veronica said
" No, you have your own stuff you're dealing with right now, V." Betty said
" Betty, Polly needs doctors, she needs prenatal vitamins She needs her family." Veronica said.

Me and Betty were in the Blue and Gold office when Cheryl walked in.
" What do you want, Cheryl?" Betty asked
" What we both want.For the baby to be safe. How can I help?" Cheryl asked
" You can't, I don't trust you, Cheryl." Betty answered
" So don't trust me. Watch me like a hawk. Tell me the barest minimum. But let me help you help Polly." Cheryl said
" You think Polly's crazy." I said
" I do, I think she's crazier than a serial killer on bath-salts, but so what? She's carrying Jason's baby. That trumps everything. Do you know where she is?" Cheryl asked
" If I did, I wouldn't tell you" Betty said lying terribly
" Oh, my God, you do." Cheryl said with a smile
" What? No."
" Wow, you are literally the worst liar I've ever encountered. Spare me the details, Betty. Just tell me how I can be of assistance to my darling nephew or niece."
" Okay, uh, Polly needs money. For a safe place to live. And for medical stuff." Betty said
" Cash? Is that all? I can talk to my mom and dad." Cheryl started but was soon interrupted by Betty.
" What? No, Cheryl." She said
" Jason's baby is a game-changer. We're all on the same team now." Cheryl said convincing Betty.

I walked into Pops to get my order for me and Veronica. I was going over to her place to get ready for our night out and then we were going to meet everyone else at the club. I went up to the counter to see if my food was ready but Pop said I had to wait a few minutes. I looked around the diner and spotted Archie, Jughead, and their dad's in a booth so I walked over to them.
" He writes for the Blue and Gold with Betty and Emily" Archie said as I walked up.
" I heard my name" I said
" Hey Emmy" Jughead said
" Hey Jug" I said then turned to the the others " Archie, Mr Andrews, Fp."
" Hey Emily, look at you all grown up. It's been a while since I've seen you" Fp said
" Yeah" I said.
" Care to join us?" Fp asked
" I would but I'm picking up food for me and Veronica. We are hanging out with Kevin, Josie, and Reggie tonight" I said
" Reggie?" Jughead asked with a hint of jealousy.
" Relax Jug, we are just hanging out" I said
" Well, it's Reggie, can't be to careful" Jughead said
" Dude, are you jealous?" Archie asked
" No" Jughead said
" It's Okay Jug, I appreciate the concern" I said " Maybe after you can come over?" I asked
" Yeah" He said
" okay cool, I'll call you later" I said giving him a kiss on the cheek.
" Since when have you two been dating?" Fp asked
" Since towards the beginning of the school year" Jughead said
" Well, it took you two long enough. I've been waiting for you two to get together for a while now" Fp said with a smile.
" Emily" Pop called signaling my food was done
" Well that's my cue" I said " See you guys later" I then walked to the counter and grabbed my food. " Thanks Pop" I said handing him a twenty to pay for the food.
" Of course Em, and it's on the house" Pop said
" Thanks, see you soon" I said walking out the diner.
