We gather around the laptop, as Betty slowly puts the USB inside, all of us wondering what the hell we're about to see. For me it seems like the world goes in slo mo, as the screen appears blue, and then suddenly we watch a black and white security camera filming Jason tied to a chair. I instantly recognize the room to be the basement of the Wyrm, watching closely as Mustang taunts him. To think that this was happening in a bar I visit frequently, right beneath my feet, shakes me to my core.
Mustang then exits the room and to all of our surprises Clifford Blossom enters the room, Jason's father. "Oh my god." Veronica breathes out in shock. He then takes a ring in Jason's shirt pocket before turning around. For a moment I think he's going to leave, but then he turns back around, raises a gun in his hand and shoots Jason in between the eyes. We all jump back at the sound of the shot, Veronica sobbing to herself, and Betty looking teary eyed at the screen, who immediately closes the laptop, horror still in her eyes.
Out of everyone in Riverdale the last person I expected to kill Jason was his own father. Sure enough he is crazy, but I never thought he was this insane.
But if Clifford was the one to kill Jason, why the hell did my dad admit to it?
And a few hours on that day, I found out that Clifford Blossom had threatened both Jughead and I's lives, saying we would suffer the same fate as Jason Blossom had my father not confess to the murder.
Jughead and I had gone to see Sheriff Keller in hopes that due to the recent news of our dad not being responsible for Jason's murder, he'd be released. Only it turns out that isn't the case and he's facing 20 years minimum. Everything was supposed to get better after watching that video, yet I never realized then how bad things were going to get.
But one thing the video did make me realize is that life is too short to hold grudges. Even though I don't see myself going back to the way Archie and I had been for a while, maybe even ever, I think I want to be friends. I think I should forgive him.

"They're acting as if the last week or months didn't even happen." Betty tells Archie as we walk through the cold snowy weather to school. I've been staying at Betty's for the past few days, which surprised me due to her mom (Alice Cooper) despising me, so I already know full well about the dramas in the Cooper household. Though they could never live up to ones in the Jones'.
"Polly's back home, my dad's back home, my mom's back at the register. Everyone just keeps...smiling. And talking about the Jubilee." Betty continues.
"That's good...right?" Archie asks, but Betty shakes her head. "No. It's exactly the same way things were before, pretending to be normal and perfect when really we're like a Greek suburban tragedy." Betty responds and I furrow my eyebrows at the 'Greek suburban comment', not understanding but Archie clearly does as he lets out a chuckle. I hit him across the arm and he stops immediately. I can't help but smirk a little turning away from Betty's serious face.
