The Runaways Narrative

Improved Essays
Our story is about a small town. And the people that live in that town. From a distance, it presents itself like so many other towns all over the world. Safe, decent, innocent. Get closer, though and you start seeing the shadows underneath. The name of our town is Riverdale.

It was a warm and bright summer day. Red haired twins Cheryl and Jason Blossom sit in a canoe on the edge of sweet water river. Cheryl looks Jason in his gunmetal gray eyes as the sun began to shine down on his pale complexion. She firmly but quietly asked him, “Are you scared Jason?” He silently shook his head no.

They had planned the whole thing. A way for Jason to runaway with Polly. Polly is his fiancé, she was tall with long blonde hair. Bright rosy cheeks. And clear, light, smooth skin. She was pregnant with twins, Jason's twins.

Their families didn't hate each other, they demonized each other. Jason's great grandfather killed Polly’s great grandfather, because one day he decided he didn't want to share the profits they got. So from that day on the two families were enemies. But Jason and Polly loved each other. So they planned to run away together and raise the babies on a nice, quiet farm, far away from Riverdale. So they packed a car and made a plan. And Cheryl was going to help.

But really he was supposed to tell Cheryl goodbye and meet Polly at the car they had packed to leave for the farm. But that never happened because Polly didn't show up since her mother and father, Alice and Hal put her in a home for troubled girls. They lied and said it was because she was doing drugs. But really it was because they didn't want anyone to know she was pregnant. Especially with Jason Blossom’s
