The next morning Clara sat at her desk for at least two hours just looking at the cut and the bruise. She had tried every make-up technique she could remember to cover the cut and bruise but she could still see a little bit of the bruise making her take off everything and re-do it.
"Hey Clara have you seen my phone-what happened to you?" Kevin walked into his sisters room clueless until he saw the bruise around her neck and the cut on her cheek.
"Kev, I don't know where your phone is" She sighed turning away from him so he didn't see anymore.
"Clara, who did that to you?" He asked walking over to his sister and kneeling down in front of her.
"Was it Logan?" His eyes searched her face waiting for her to say something but she didn't "It was. I'm telling dad about this"
"What no!" Clara went to grab onto Kevins hand when he got up and walked away but he turned so he was facing her.
"Why Clara? Why can't I tell dad? Why are you trying to keep him out of jail?" Kevin asked narrowing his eyes at her
"I just don't want it to get worse" She sighed looking down and Kevins face softened before he brought her into a hug
"Don't worry, if he's in jail he can't get to you and you also have like an entire group looking after you. Just let me tell dad you don't even have to go and tell dad I'll do it ok?" Kevin moved so he could see her face and smiled in relief when she nodded her head
"Are you going somewhere?" Clara asked when he left her room to search for his phone again.
"I don't really have anything planned" Kevin shrugged before he went to tear apart his room again.
"Found it!" He yelled happily holding up his phone making her smile until they got a call from their dad
"Both of you Coopers house now" He demanded before hanging up and the siblings looked at each other in worry before quickly driving over to the Cooper household

"Riverdales best and brightest huh?" Alice asked sarcastically as she set down a tray of tea on the table.
Clara stood next to her brother, who was sat on the armrest of the couch, and Reggie who was stood next to her in front of the fire place.
"Thank you Alice for hosting" Mayor McCoy said and Clara took the time to see who was all there it was everyone from the party exculding a few and all their parents who were stood on the other side of the room.
"Of course Mayor McCoy. When I heard what happened at Nicks party I decided that we should come together to deal with this crew of liars, dope-fiends and fornicators. Except for my Betty, who was smart enough to leave the party before it descended into a bacchanalian free for all" Alice said and Clara crossed her arms sharing a look of disbelief with Veronica.
"Oh my god mom please don't" Betty begged not looking up at Alice
Clara looked at everyone seeing they all had their heads down not wanting to meet with the eyes of their parents. She also didn't want to look up at her dad knowing he would easily see the cut on her face.
"So this is for clarity Alice. You're hosting this little get together to what gloat?" Fred asked motioning his hand around the room.
She sighed when both sides of the room started breaking off into unrelated matters like how Betty and Jughead broke up it was about to go further until Alice cleared her throat and got everyones attention.
"Careful throwing stones there, acid queen Alice. I'm not the only one in this room that knows the story behind that mugshot that your daughter printed in her paper" Hiram said before Hermione spoke up
