We Could Meet Again Somewhere

Welcome home

A black luxury mercedes arrives in the small town of Riverdale. A magnificent lady steps out of the car with her daughter.

"You will love Riverdale mija, you will see" said Hermione to her daughter, Veronica, as they walked in their new house. "Heres our new home, I know its not like the one we had in New York but.." "Its okay mum" Veronica interrupted her "Im gonna get used to it, dont worry.. at least I will try"

The two ladies had to leave their luxury lives in New York and move back to Hermione's hometown because Veronica's father, Hiram Lodge, got arrested for tax evasion. Well at least that was what they told, the truth is that the Lodges were really in deep with the mafia world and Hermione wanted to protect her daughter from all this mess.

"Lets treat oursleves with a milkshake at pop's. You will love it! I used to hangout there all the time when I was your age" said Hermione trying to cheer up her daughter.

Hermione and Veronica stepped in at pop's and sat down. Thousands of memories came back to Hermione but a voice interrupted her thoughts.

"What can I get for you Mrs?"
"Two chocolate milkshakes please. Thank you pop." She smiled
"Do I know you from somewhere?" Pop asked
"I am Hermione" she paused for a while "Gomez. Hermione Gomez"

Veronica looked at her mother and she was trying to figure out why would she introduce her self with her surname, Gomez and not Lodge.

"Oh my god, I don't believe it! Hermione its been ages!" Pop continued. "And let me introduce you my daughter Veronica"
"Veronica Lodge, nice to meet you"
"You look just like your mother young lady! So glad to meet you. Im coming back with your order. Welcome home ladies"

As Hermione was talking to Pop she was feeling that someone was looking at her. She looked around and she saw across the room a blondie, behind a laptop, looking directly at her with her green eyes.
Hermione felt a weird feeling, like she went back to time. She would recognize those eyes anywhere. Without even thinking it so much, she decided to go and say something to her.
"Excuse me for a second mija" she said as she stand up and walk across the room until she was standing in front of those green eyes. She had no idea what she was doing. She stood there for a moment just staring at her.

"Alice- Alice Smith" she tried to say as calm as possible and just prayed that she would answer to just hear her voice again, after all this time.
"It's Alice Cooper actually. Something you wouldn't know of course since you left and never looked back. Right?" Alice stood up and left really quick from the shop.

Hermione stood still, she tried so hard not to cry. She knew that even if she run behind Alice she wouldn't have anything to say to defend herself. She knew Alice was right. Since she left for New York she never called or texted, not because she had nothing to say but she needed to protect both of them.
One thing she didn't know is that Alice got into her car and cried so much and screamed so loud. She couldn't believe that the love of her life was back to Riverdale. But she also never forgot how much it hurt when she left her and moved to New York. And it still hurts, every single day.
