Betty POV:

I woke up and all the memories from yesterday came flooding back to me. Today is going to be a long day.

I slowly pull myself out of my warm bed and have a shower. I turn the hot water taps on and let the water glide over my body. It felt nice to just relax for once.

After this past month, I need a break, not that I think I'll get one. I've been through a breakup, a kidnapping, going to the Ghoulies lair, finding out about a brother and having my mother trying to claim the house. When does it stop?

I turn the taps off and step out of the shower. I wrap a towel around my body and began to blow dry my hair. I then moved to my cupboard and pulled out a light dress. It was a warm day in Riverdale, something so rare.

The sound of the birds chirping made me smile. I walk downstairs and sit at the table with Sweet Pea. Joaquin still wasn't home yet, he wouldn't be for a while anyway, unless there was an emergency. I'll be using this knowledge to my advantage.

Sweet Pea: morning. He says while passing me some food.
Betty: Morning. I say as I take a bite of my food.
Sweet Pea: are you going to tell Joaquin about Dylan? He asked.

I would have to, he would find out anyway. I need to figure out what Dylan wants. Because if he wants to get to know his parents it would be pointless for him to live with us. He should be with Fp, if it is his kid. I can't tell if I want it to be Fps kid or not, it just creates more mess in our lives. And does Fp even want another kid?

Betty: I have too, otherwise he'll find out some other way. I say and he nods his head.
Sweet Pea: he's probably not going to be here for a while.
Betty: that's where you're wrong. I need your phone. I say with a smirk. He gives me a confused look but passes me his phone.

I open up his texts messages with Joaquin. I type a quick text that I knew would make him come home. "come home Bettys been hurt". I typed.

Joaquin should be home in about ten minutes. I place his phone down and Sweet Pea still had no idea what I did. He picks up the phone and his eyes widened and he let out a laugh.

Sweet Pea: Betty! He says. I laugh.
Betty: this is the only way. I say with a laugh.

We then hear a knock at the door. Sweet Pea began doing the dishes so I went to answer it. It was Mary.

Mary: Hello darling, I came over to give you this, it's the contract. She says handing me a bunch of papers.
Mary: make sure you and your brother sign it all. She says. I nod my head.
Betty: Thank you so much, for everything. I say and she hugs me.
Mary: of course darling. She says and walked next door.

I close the door and walk to the kitchen table so I could begin signing my half of the contract.

I had just finished when the door swings open, revealing a worried looking Joaquin. He runs up to me and embraces me in a tight hug.

Joaquin: what happened? Are you ok? He asked frantically.
Betty: I'm fine, I just needed you to come home. I figured out the Alice situation. He gives me an unconvinced look.
Joaquin: how?
Betty: well Mary she works in legal. I talked to her and she got a contract drawn up that could help us. His eyes widened.
Joaquin: Seriously? He asked.
Betty: yep, you just need to sign this and then she will no longer legally own this house. I tell him.
Joaquin: I'm speechless.
Betty: thank you Betty, you're the best sister anyone could ask for. You are also so much smarter than me. I say mimicking his voice. They both laugh at me.
