The fall

A small town located in the city of Laxton. Laxton was a small city with a population of of only 50,000 people, it may sound like alot to some but the avergage city has a population of between 100,000- 300,000 people. The city was surrounded by small towns and villages. You had Centerville,Laxton Village, Greendale, Anthens, Rose Ville, Middleton Village then the small town of Riverdale, nick named the town of horrors or the town with Pep. The village had murderers, adulterist , rapist, gangs, drugs you name it Riverdale had it. But beside the bad stuff they had families. Close bonds and friendships. Strong relationships and loving marriages. Riverdale was turning into a better town day by day. With Harold Cooper dead and buried six ft under the fear of the black hood was wilted people began letting their children out and trusting others. The Gargoyle Kind Chick Reynolds was rotting away at Shankshaw with a hefty life sentence. 

But for a certain pony tailed blonde her pain and suffering wasn't over yet. She was forcing a smile faking her laughs. Acting as if she was happy. When really her mind was gone. Her soul trying to find her mother. The farm ascended and everyone forgot about her mother. Her sister. Cheryl and Toni had been there for her. But she was longing for her mother. Wanting to be safe. In her arms. She did orginally move in with the Jones family after Gladys left. But she soon returned and Betty Cooper stopped going to school.She lost contact with everyone. Jughead had left her. She was alone. In a cold abandoned building scared to admit the truth. She was infact homeless.The only thing bringing her comfort was knowing that they owned this ran down building. Even if she only had hot water. No electricity no heaters that worked. She could keep clean. She slept upon a mattress on the cold floor. A thin blanket covered her body when she slept with a pillow case stuffed with her clothes as a pillow. She had a wardrobe and thats it. She had nothing else. She'd live off sandwiches and water.  Her mother had taken her money. So she had nothing. She could turn to family but didn't want to belittle her self.

The fact she was out of the way, She was in a small shed like place. Which really only consisted of two rooms. One being a room with a shower and toilet. The other where she had two counters a space where a fridge would go. An arm chair a small table and her old mattress. Located on the edge of fox forest. Of course people walked past it but no one ever dared to go near the building. 

In the La Bonne Nuit under pops Veronica had arranged a get together for everyone. Bu everyone she meant, The Andrews Family, The Jones, The Mccoy-Keller Family, Blossom and Topaz, Not forgetting her own parents. "Ronnie is Betty coming"Cheryl asked as they gathered at the large table she had set out. "No Cheryl.  I tried to call her but she doesn't pick up. She's not at the farm as we know. She isn't with Archie,Kevin or me meaning she is with someone out there or maybe on her own. She skips school. She is failing her subjects."Veronica felt tears in her eyes "B is just slipping away. Her dad was shot infront of her. He may have been evil but that was horrible. An act of evil. Her family upped and left. Her boyfriend dumped her. I left her for one day and she left"Jughead felt guilty. He could have helped, "Oh Mija"Hermione rubbed her back. "Its my fault. I could have helped her. But i didn't see the signs"Kevin looked down "Cheryl,Toni and I we didn't listen. If we did Betty would have never had to face her dad alone. Or be forced to eat fizzle rocks. Have drugs forced into her system"Kevin was revealing things only he and Veronica knew.  "What. When. Who and how"Fred asked feeling some sort of guilt.

"Mrs S sent her to the sister of quiet Mercy. Where Mr Cooper sent Polly and where he sent Alice when she was pregnant with Charles. Mrs S did get her out but only because Betty began having regular seizures and she was screaming all the time. Sister Woodhouse convinced Betty she will be the black hood one day and that she's evil. Mrs S even said that Betty is evil. Polly said it too"Veronica explained "To her own daughter"Mary gaped "She would never do it voluntarily. Only when she and Edgar met.He patronised her. found a way to control her the way Mr Cooper did. He found her weakest subjects.Like Charles, And Hal.He used it against her. Convinced her Betty was a child of evil"Kevin explained but it was a shock. "I can't believe that for what 20 years i lived alongside them and never spotted anything wrong"Fred scoffed.
