Betty POV:

I woke up to the bright sun shining through the curtains. I sit up in bed and stretch out my arms.

I get out of bed and open up my suitcase.

The convention is today and it starts at about 12pm. Right now it's currently 9:25am.

I pull out a crop top and a pair of shorts. I spray on some perfume and then I brush my hair so it didn't look like a bird made a nest out of it.

After a few wrong turns I made my way to the lounge and took a seat while I wait for Ryan to get up. I was scrolling through my instagram when I got a call from Joaquin.

( Betty and Joaquin on the phone )

Betty: hey Joe. I say
Joaquin: hey Betts, how are you?
Betty: I'm actually pretty good.
Joaquin: that's good, I'm really happy. So what are you doing today? He asked.
Betty: today's the convention and then the rest of the day I'm not really sure.
Joaquin: I hope you have fun, be safe. He says protectively.
Betty: I will, bye Joaquin. I say.
Joaquin: bye Betty. He says and hangs up.

( end of call )

Shortly after my call with Joaquin, Ryan got up and we ate breakfast together.

By the time we left the house it was 11:40am. It only takes about thirty minutes to get there.

We arrive and it's much bigger then the one in Riverdale. We started taking a look around but the more we looked the more we discovered that there wasn't really anything interesting or new. We had a list of all the panels and they were only covering the basics, like the stuff we learnt when we were 7 years old.

Joaquin POV:

After my call with Betty it definitely reassured me that she wasn't going to do anything stupid. I'm also glad that she seemed happy on her Snapchat story. Yes, I have my sister on all social media's. I need to look out for her. It's only really ever been me and her. We have to look out for each other, no one else will.

I wish she didn't have to go to New York but I know this will do her mental health a world of good.

I walk out of my room and sit at the kitchen table with Sweet Pea.

Sweet Pea: how is she? He asked me.
Joaquin: she's doing much better. I say.
Sweet Pea: that's good. He says while eating a spoonful of his cereal.
Joaquin: yeah. We've just got one problem to deal with, Jughead. I have no doubt he'll be coming back here when Betty comes home.
Sweet Pea: we'll punch him until he gets the message. I smirk.

Later on in the day we decided to head to the Wyrm. We needed to get out of the house otherwise I'm pretty sure we would have created a whole operation on how we were going to kill Jughead.

We get on our bikes and head down to the Wyrm. When we arrive we're greeted by Toni who is working at the bar.

Toni: Hey guys. Where's my favourite Cooper? She asked with a grin.
Joaquin: he just entered. I say making us all laugh.
Joaquin: she's in New York for some convention thing. I say to her.
Toni: bet her lover boy is lonely. She says with a chuckle.
Sweet Pea: they aren't together anymore. He informs her. Her jaw dropped.
Toni: what? They were so cute. What happened? She asked.
Joaquin: Jughead kissed his ex and Betty saw. I say.
Toni: that asshole did what?! She says getting mad.

Toni has always been defensive when it comes to Betty being hurt. Betty is one of the only North Siders who don't judge us. And the fact that Betty is an all round nice person makes Toni lover her even more.
