                  Betty's point of view
I was completely alone in me and Jughead's room. He was taking a shower in the bathroom to clear his mind. I turn over on the soft air mattress. "What the hell?!!" I yell. "Shhh" Veronica stands above me. Her cheeks are stained with tears and her eyes are puffy and red. "Betty..." She squeaks out. "Yeah?" I mutter.
Oh my god. Veronica shows me her wrist. Filled with cuts. Most of them new. "Oh my god! Veronica.. " She falls into my arms crying and hugging me like it's the end of the world. I pull her onto the air mattress so she feels comfortable.
Jughead passes by but before he opens to door he looks inside and mouths to me : I'll just sleep in Archie's old room. I nod and he walks away.
Veronica gets up and wipes those pesky tears off her face. She fixes her top and tells me she has to go. I'm still worried about her but I let her go. This was probably the worst mistake I could've made.

(Listen to the song during this next part)
I decide I'm going to go make breakfast so I walk over to the kitchen, passing Veronica's room. God I really wish I had checked on her.
I make some toast with Nutella on it and grabs some orange juice.
Jughead comes in and greets me with a kiss. He was about to grab some apple juice when he was me. "You should probably checkout on Veronica. I heard what sounded like crying coming from her room." Jughead tells me with a worried look on his face. I kiss him on the check and head over to Veronica's room.
I gently open the door..
Crash. The plate that I had been holding was now on the floor. Orange juice splattered everywhere and the plate shattered.
Veronica was hanging by a rope.
Clothes were scattered everywhere like she was planning on going somewhere..
Her feet were dangling and her face was blue.
I shriek for help as loud as my voice can take. Cheryl comes running while holding Toni's hand. Cheryl's top was missing and she was just in her bra desperately trying to put it on. 
I was almost expecting Archie to come running but I knew he wouldn't which depressed me. I whimper as my knees crash go the floor and tears pour down my face like a river.  Veronica was holding her phone in her hand which gave me an idea.
We never searched anybody's phone.
