Veronica's P.O.V
I woke up, blinded by the morning sun. My dad, mom and I were in New York for some business trip which I didn't even want to attend. Although, I would be lying if I said I didn't miss it here. The busy streets, the nightlife, my friends. As soon as I came back into my old apartment it made me realise how much I loved living here. I rolled out of bed and went into my bathroom, I play some music and hop into the shower. Brushed my teeth and I curled my hair. Whilst doing this I could smell the scent of a breakfast being made. I got dressed and put on some makeup and headed downstairs. "Morning mom" I said as my mother was sitting at the table. "Hello mija, have a nice sleep?" She asked, taking a sip of her orange juice. "Yes, thank you". I take a seat and start to eat my meal. "Uh mom, when will we go back home?" I ask, and to my surprise it wasn't the voice I felt so safe around. "We are home, Veronica." My dad says to me. "What? Daddy you can't be serious, what about Archie and Betty and Jughead!" I say raising my voice, starting to get angry. "What about them, this is our home now whether you like it or not". I look at mom in hope of reassurance but her head is down and she is staring at her hands. A tear sheds from my eye and I run upstairs to my room and slam the door. All I wanted to do was scream and smash everything in my sight. I grab my phone and text the one person who I loved more than myself, my boyfriend.
~Text messages~
Ronnie❤️~ Archie... call me as soon as you can, it's important.
~End of text message~
My phone screen was now drowning in my tears. I just sat at the end of my bed sobbing in despair until I heard a light knock on my door. "Veronica, darling can you let me in?". I looked at my door and approached the handle, turning it slowly only to reveal my mom standing there with her arms wide open. I collapse into her chest and she pulls me into the tightest hug. "Don't worry, we will go back home, and by that I mean Riverdale" my mom whispers into my ear whilst stroking my hair. Hearing those words together, home and Riverdale, made me smile. Knowing my mother was finally going against my father made me let out a massive sigh of relief.

9:15 pm New York

The three of us went to our favourite Italian restaurant, which was for me and mom, our last meal here in New York (for now anyways). Even if I don't get on with my dad, I do still love him and all of the things he provides us with. I didn't want to lose the father daughter bond that we had beyond our arguments. I asked my mom to take a picture of dad and I so I could post it on Instagram.

I scroll through the comments and giggle to myself. I could not wait to be back home with the people I loved.

A/N agh, this is my first ever book that I've written, I hope you all like it ( plus writing with acrylic nails is extremely hard so bare with😂). 💗
