Big Brother

Six years had past in the small town of Riverdale. The children had returned from college. Veronica was engaged to Reggie Mantle this came of no shock to anyone. Veronica owned her own brand, with businesses around the world.Jughead had sold books world wide and was now a well know author no relationship compared to Betty. He had meaningless sex with meaningless flings except one which lasted a year. Archie was a musician. Playing songs and thriving. He hadn't had a relationship that lasted well in many years. Kevin was a drama teacher working at Riverdale high, Alongside Cheryl who was a lawyer plus a part time cheerleader who taught the Riverdale River Vixens. Toni was the Riverdale high mechanic teacher. The girls were engaged. And Kevin Married.

Alice and Fp they spent a while together but it ruined when he slept with Gladys again. Hold habits die hard. Hiram Lodge died 5 years ago now. He was buried in New York. Fred was Heavily remembered. Mary had moved back with her wife Jenna. Hermione and Alice were close. They helped Veronica, It was fair to say Alice had chosen Veronica's side when Betty and Archie kissed and slept together.  Fp worked with Tom at the construction sight and then there was Charles. He had left for 5 years popping back now and then. But the reason was still unexplained. He still worked in the FBI.

And then there was Betty. She left town not finishing Senior Year. She carried a secret when she left Riverdale. But everyone who she had trusted had let her down even Archie. She moved away. To England. Charles tailed behind her. She attended a nursing course. She got a degree in Journalism and First Aid. She kept a tight bond with Charles. He lived with her. Helping her whilst she attended Oxford University.  Only 9 months ago they returned to Riverdale. 2 bodies heavier.  

"Betty we don't have to go"Charles smiled down the phone, she had been invited to the La Bonne Nuit for a reason she did not know. She hadn't spoke to any of them not even her own mother in six years. But a month ago she received a random direct message from Cheryl asking her to come, so she accepted. She knew everyone would be there.Everyone that turned their backs on her. Except Charles. They were the closest. Best friends and siblings.

"Are you sure you will be okay with her"Betty asked gesturing to the little girl "Of course. Babe. Have a good night. Just let me know where you will be incase i need to gate crash with Juliet because she misses you to much"Jake smiled looking down at her. The pair had met in a pub in London 1 year ago. On meeting Jake revealed he is orginally from London and was visiting his parents but he now lived in a town called Greendale. Betty smiled at this factor. Of course Greendale wasn't far from Riverdale. That is when she decided herself and Charles along with the girl would move back to Riverdale. Betty bought a house which was in a private stretch only 3 other houses in her area. One belonged to an old couple. One belonged to a lovely gay couple with their adopted daughters and the last belonged to a middle aged couple and their teenage sons.  Jake lived 15 minutes from her in Greendale they weren't quite ready to move in together yet.

Well, Betty was preparing to move him into her home. She wanted to expand the family now she was 24.  "If you need me call, I messaged you the address. Benji is fed and walked. Juliet is bathed. I have her in her pyjamas for you. But as i said if she has a crying fit come straight to me. I don't mind. Plus Charles will be with me. I left her clothes on the chair for if she does have a fit"Jacob placed a kiss to her lips and grabbed her left hand, running his finger over the large diamond ring that sat on her finger. "I love you"He whispered "I love you too"She flashed her smile and walked out. A horn beeping.

"Look at you little sis"Charles whistled. Her golden hair was curled sitting below her breast. Her skin had a light glow to it, her eyes sparkled.Since Charles said to dress casual thats what Alice told him she was wearing a short sleeved black t over her body was a yellow crepe check pinafore dress. Which emphasised her curves and skin. He had a white shirt with black jeans. "If it gets to much just squeeze my hand and i will get us out"Betty rolled her eyes. "Its going to be hard. But i need to do it"He smiled "How is the fiance"He smirked "Jake is good."He nodded "And Juliet"Betty's heart leapt at her name "She's perfect as is the new pup Benji"Charles drove the 20 minutes to pops. Where beneath sat the La Bonne Nuit.
