The next few days were a slow drag for Betty, no new evidence had been fount and all traces of Veronica Lodge were gone, almost as if she had never existed. Slowly people began loosing hope, but never Betty, she couldn't.

Jughead hated seeing Betty in so much pain, it pained him as well, to see the frown lingering over her once perfect smile. He wanted to find Veronica just as much as anyone, but he couldn't help but think about how Betty was maybe trying too hard, grasping at straws, but what did he expect? Betty loved veronica like a sister and having her taken away was breaking her. Breaking every little spec of hope she had left.

Betty had been through so much over the past year. And this might just be the thing that breaks her once and for all.

It wasn't until three days after Veronica had been taken that she figured something out. Something important. 

She hadn't seen Archie Andrews for so long. Like he had completely vanished. Normally Archie would phone Betty, beg for forgiveness, stalk her sometimes even. But ever since the party, he had stopped. It was like as soon as Veronica was gone, Archie was two.

'Jug' Betty mumbled.

'Yes, baby.' He replied softly.

If Betty weren't in such a bad situation right now she would of freaked out at the fact that he called her baby.

'I think I just figured something out, for real this time' Betty said, with hope and desperation in her voice.

'Really? What is it?' Jughead questioned, hoping it wasn't something stupid, so he wouldn't have to shut her down.

'Well, ever since the party, Archie has stopped pestering me, calling me and following me around. Ever since Veronica disappeared. Maybe this is just me hoping, but I haven't even seen him around his dorm' 

'Hm, that is actually a really good point, perhaps we could go to his dorm, see if he is there' Jughead agreed.

Betty nodded and slipped on her shoes and opened the dorm door, ready to see if Archie was there.

Jughead quickly followed behind her. 

As she made her way to his dorm she began piecing things together, praying she truly had a lead 

and that she wasnt just over reacting.

When she tried the door, it opened straight the way, and on the inside of that door

was cheryl blossom.

Dead

and archie was nowhere to be seen
