CHAPTER 1

BETTY'S POV

We were on are way back to Riverdale, where my mum grew up, and I spent one year of my life, so I was obviously not going to remember it. But as we drove past the sign reading 'Welcome to Riverdale the town with pep' I could tell my mum did. She looked around in awe but also...sadness? Longing? I couldn't read it. We drove passed a diner that was called 'Pops chock' lit shoppe' and my mum smiled "After we get unpacked we can come here for dinner" She said making me smile a little and nod. After a few minutes of driving passed some trees we made it to the streets and with some turns my mum pulled up outside a large house with a red front door. I looked at her confused "Isn't this our old house?" I asked and she nodded "It is" She smiled "But didn't you-" She cut me off "Sell it?" She asked with a soft laugh and I smiled nodding "Well previously we were but I grew up here, there was to many memories, so we put the furniture into a storage unit and I got an old friend to watch over the place" She replied and as she said that I saw her briefly glance over to the house beside ours but then quickly looked back at our house. "Come on, our moving van will be here soon with some of the furniture then we can get another one to go collect the furniture from the storage unit tomorrow" She said smiling at me and I smiled. After my dad died, I took his death harder than my mum. I could tell she was sad but she also seemed I don't know I guess relieved? Maybe that he couldn't hurt us anymore. But I still missed him like crazy. I know what he did to us was bad, beyond bad, it was horrible but I still loved and missed him. I still have nightmares about finding him on the couch or loosing him, its always different. I told my mum the nightmares stopped but I lied since I didn't want her to worry. We both got out of the car and grabbed our suitcases and bags and walked up the brick steps and to the front door and unlocked it and walked inside. It was so beautiful. There was no furniture at all but I could just imagine my mum as a little kid running about the house. The thought made me smile "Go find a room honey" She said putting a hand on my back and I smiled "Ok" I said and quickly made my way upstairs with my bags in hand. I looked around upstairs and saw there was three bedrooms and a bathroom. I checked each of the rooms and as soon as I walked into one and saw the window seat I knew I wanted this one. I smiled setting my bags down and noticed there was also a bathroom attached to mine. I heard footsteps and my mum appeared in the doorway "I guess you found one?" She smiled and I nodded "You know, this use to be mine" She said coming over to me "Seriously?" I asked and she nodded with a laugh "Yep, I'm glad you like it sweetie" She said and I smiled softly and then wrapped my arms around her in a hug and she hugged back "I love you Betty" She said kissing my hair "I love you too mom" I said quietly and pulled away giving her a little smile and she smiled back.

JUGHEAD'S POV

I walked downstairs calling for my dad as I did so "Dad, why didn't you tell me we were getting neighbours?" I called looking at him sitting on the couch whilst Jelly played with her toys on the floor. He looked up confused "What?" He said standing up and we both walked to the window looking out it as a moving van pulled up "It can't be" I heard him mumble and I looked up at him "What can't be?" I asked confused "Um nothing, come on lets go greet them" He said going and picking Jellybean up. He sounded hesitant or something but he smiled and led us out the door. We walked down the steps and across the yard and stood beside the moving van in front of the neighbours garden and just as we got there the door opened and out walked a girl around my age I think with blond hair in a ponytail and what looked to be her mum. As soon as my dad and the women met eyes both their jaws dropped "FP?" "Alice?" They both said at the same time and then there shocked faces turned into large smiles as my dad kissed Jellybeans hair and then handed her over to me as my dad quickly went up to 'Alice' and they both hugged tightly. Me and the girl looked at each other with confused glances as I held my sister on my hip and I slowly started making my way up to them. They pulled away smiling at each other "How do you two know each other?" I asked confused but with a little smile. I hadn't seen my dad smile this big in a while. "It's a long story" He chuckled "I've got time" I said with a smile making them both laugh "Al this is my son Jughead and my daughter Jellybean" He said with a soft smile looking at us and she smiled holding out her hand for me to shake which I do "It's nice to meet you Jughead and hello to you little cutie" She said with a little baby voice at the end towards Jelly and she giggled making us all smile "I see you still stuck with the weird names huh?" She questioned with a laugh making my dad roll his eyes playfully with a grin "This is my daughter Elizabeth, but she likes to go by Betty" She said putting a hand on 'Bettys' shoulder and she smiled a little at us "Hi" She said quietly and gosh her voice was beautiful and was she. Wait no Jughead, you do not get into relationships nor get feelings. "Hey" I replied with a kind smile and then she glanced down to Jelly "What age is she?" She asked and I smiled "4" I replied and she nodded "She's adorable" she said in awe and I chuckled looking at my sister who was playing with the ears on her teddy bear. "So it looks like we have a lot of catching up to do. What about we do it over dinner?" My dad asked with a smile and Alice did the same "Me and Betty were actually thinking of going to pops for dinner, I'm dying for one of his milkshakes so how about we all go there?" She questioned and he smiled nodding "Sounds good, we'll all meet there around 5? Is that ok?" He questioned and she nodded "Perfect" She replied with a kind smile. "We'll let you get unpacked, also here's my phone number incase you need anything" my dad said handing over a piece of paper and she chuckled taking it and putting it into her pocket. "You live right next door FP" She said making him chuckle and smile and then take Jelly from my arms. "See you guys later" He smiled and they did the same "Bye" She said and they both waved as we walked down the path and back to our own garden. "So like did you two have a thing or?..." I trailed of with a little smirk and he laughed "God no, we were bestfriends. Alice got married with a man named Hal who was nice and then not so long after Betty was born they moved" He replied and I nodded with a smile. It was nice seeing him so happy. "What?" He questioned looking at me as we opened the door and I smiled shaking my head "Nothing, Its just nice seeing you so happy" I said making him smile softly at me. "Go get ready, we leave in an hour" He replied and I looked at him with furrowed eyebrows "What's wrong with this?" I asked sarcastically as I waved my hands at my black slightly ripped jeans and my black t-shirt that had a dark grey 'S' on it and my flannel tied round my waist with my muddy boots on and he raised an eyebrow making me let out a laugh "I'm kidding" I said making my way up the stairs and into my bedroom. As I entered my room and closed the door I noticed the girl from earlier, Betty through the window. Our rooms must be facing each other. Just as I was about to turn away to go into my bathroom attached to my bedroom to take a shower she turned around from putting clothes in her dresser and saw me through the window. I thought she would dirty look me or give me the finger and close her blinds but instead she gave me a little smile and came closer to the window and gave me a wave making me grin and wave back and I could see her giggle. We smiled at each other before going our separate ways. After my shower I tied a towel around my waist and walked to my closet and sorted threw it sighing. I eventually found a pair of denim jeans with black suspenders that hung down at my side and a plain white t-shirt along with my black Sherpa jacket and then slipped on my black high top converse and combed through my hair before making my way down the stairs to see my dad helping Jelly get her shoes on. "Juggie" She giggled as my dad finished helping her get her shoes on and then jumped off the couch and ran over to me and I smiled lifting her up "Hello" I said kissing her hair and she giggled "Look a bunny!" She smiled pointing to her top and I smiled. She was wearing some denim jeans with brown boots and a light pink top with a white bunny on it with a dandelion. I gasped smiling "Yeah its a really cute bunny huh? Are you ready to get some dinner?" I asked and she smiled nodding happily and I chuckled setting her down. "You ready son?" My dad asked and I nodded "Alright lets get going. Come on sweetheart" He said taking Jellybeans hand and she whined "Yogi" She said pointing at her brown stuffed bear sitting on the couch which she loved. I went and grabbed it handing it to her and she smiled at me before we walked out the door to my dads truck.
