After betty and Claire left Archie went in my room "Bettys acting weird" I nodded "yeah she was super awkward ". "So how Long's this act gonna continue for" he asked , "once I can get betty jealous enough to feel anything towards me" he rolled his eyes "she  already totally likes you"  " what do you mean" I asked "when I talked about me shipping you to she literally uncontrollably smiled " I nodded "does she have like a controller dad or something " Archie asked , Betty never told me what happens to her dad just that he isn't in her life so I think her parents got divorced and he left , but idk "her dads not around I don't know what happened to him i guess he left " he nodded , "her brother said she was super outgoing and like basic , she was captain of the cheerleading team and was her olds schools it girl, something happened , I can tell" I nodded "maybe she just changed personalities " Archie shrugged his shoulder , I saw a police light outside , I saw betty walking out a cop car , she was in the front seat so she must have not really been in trouble , Archie and I played video games for but tell he left ,
The next morning I woke up and got ready for school , I turned on the tv it was the main headline "murder on the lose in river dale , leaving residents shaken " apparently someone in a mask killed someone last night and left a note saying he'd struck again, and even more if he doesn't get what he wants , it was fucking wierd he walked around in the woman's blood and burned her clothes in her stove and they didn't find a single fingerprint , odd
   The whole day they talked about this dude , I get there scared but it was annoying , after the bell rang I didn't have practice I went to the newspaper we're betty was always at , she has a couple papers on her desk and the office was only her , I saw a print out of the note from the guy and his height measurements and what you could tell from someone from looking at them , "how do you know all this?" I asked , she shrugged her shoulder "don't tell me your becoming obsessed with this like the rest of the town" I said , "I wanna know who did it" "your gonna get yourself killed in the process" she shook her head ,"I don't care it will be Intresting " "what are you talking about betty" he "nothing I just wanna find him , I want the family to be at peace" she said , "your talking like a crazy person" "
       "If I can bring one family justice for the brutal murder of there 11 year old that's worth anything" I nodded , I you could make lots of assumptions from that statement , "I met him , I think he knows me, last night I was at the library and he watched me and then chased me , he got in his car but he knew if he ran he'd caught me , he even slowed down when he was gonna run over me , he's not gonna hurt me yet" I nodded "you should tell the police , it's better for your safety" she shook her head , "no the second I tell he will be mad I can't make him mad not now , or he'll take something" "your talking like a cult member" she nodded "it's lots of pain and it will get to your head and it will twist everything you know , I want to know who killed her , I want the family to be at peace , if I have the brains and the opportunity to do it " I nodded "Betty , your using your trauma to try and think that your gonna get far in this , your gonna get yourself killed " she shook her head "but I know what that feels like , to lose everything , I want to help , if I can" I sat down "doing all of this betty isnt gonna ignore the fact your dads absent , if that's what this is about" , she started crying , damn ,I looked down at her hands , she was digging her nails into her hands deeper and deeper , I saw blood , I grabbed her hand "sorry I shoudnt have brought that up"
She pulled away her arm "then why'd you fucking say it , why'd you have to bring it up" "I'm-" she stood up and walked out , I followed after her while she was walking home , "I'm sorry betty" , after a couple minutes of just me apologizing I said "I know what it feels like to be abandoned trust me , I shoudnt have brought it up I'm a idiot" she got home and looked at me for a second then closed the door
