Second part of the previous chapter.

Cheryl's POV

It felt like fate. After all these years, it was as if the universe was pulling us together. I knew it. I just knew. I could recognise her eyes any day. She looked gorgeous.

"TT?" I said as I moved my bag. She happily took the seat, maintaining eye contact with me.

Toni's POV

"There's only one person who's ever cal-" I watched as she finally caught up with me. "Oh my god! Cherry?" I asked. She smiled. We both wrapped our arms around the each other. I recognised her red hair. It was just as amazing as it was all those years ago.

"It's been years. I can't believe it. I didn't think I'd ever see you again." She stated.

"Me either." I admitted as I pulled away. There was a short pause between us.

"You've changed. The pink in your hair." Cheryl ended the silence.

"Yeah...uhhhh...it's nothing. It's stupid." I responded.

"No I like it. I think it's cute." I smiled at her words. Not many people liked it. I was simply trying to express myself through it and my clothing.

"Thanks." I mumbled.

"And still short, I noticed?" I gently tapped Cheryl's arm.

"Whatever...God There is so much to talk about. So how've you been?" I questioned her. I looked into her eyes. The same eyes that got me all that time ago. I listened as she told me her story of being adopted and her family. I didn't lose my smile once.

"What about you? How's your life been?" She asked.

"Good. Well, after you left the sisters I was devastated. I really missed you and I was so scared I wouldn't see you again..." I trailed off for a moment. I remembered back to the moment Cheryl left.

I stood there, hugging her tightly, not wanting to let go, but I could see the two people behind her waiting, and I didn't want to hold her up too long. I felt the tears collecting in my eyes, but I held them back. I didn't want to make her feel guilty for leaving or make her change her mind. I really wanted her to feel happy and excited about it.

We separated and I felt her hand in mine, as she dropped something into my grip.

"It's just a little note. I've got to go." Cheryl stated. I felt her thumb gently swipe across my face, catching a tear I didn't know had fallen. "Don't cry, Toni. I'll see you soon." I waved goodbye as she went to the car with the lovely couple.

I opened the thin piece of paper that was in my hand and started reading the words on it, that were written in her very tidy handwriting.

I may be going, but I will find you again. I promise. Even if it takes a hundred years. You haven't quite seen the last of me yet, TT. You're my best friend. This isn't the end of our story. I'll see you again. I love you

I knew I still had that note, somewhere. I kept it close after she left. I was happy for her. I really was. She had found her family.

"I'm so sorry about that." I felt her hand reach for mine. Our fingers locked together. It felt like old times.

"You have nothing to be sorry about. I mean, you found your path, in a way. After a while, I found mine too. Not long after you left, these two really kind men adopted me. I still live with them to this day." I explained. I felt myself getting emotional at the memories that were coming flooding back. Her hand was still locked with mine and I decided to press my free hand, gently, on top of hers.

"Well I'm glad they found you." Cheryl added.

"I'm glad we found each other. It was just like you said, in your note."

"I guess it was." She grinned. I was still in shock. The girl that I fell for all those years ago was here again. I had missed her more than anything. "So...Riverdale High, huh? What are the odds that we'd end up at the same school?" She said.

"Be honest with me...how awful is it?" I asked.

"Pretty awful. I tell you what, let's make a deal. We stick together, no matter what." Cheryl was looking directly into my eyes now. I nodded in agreement. "Pinky promise?" She added.

"Pinky promise." I said as our fingers touched.

Cheryl and I sat on the bus catching up on several things. It felt so good to see here again. Everything came rushing back. The memories. Everything, including my feelings for her. Honestly, they never really went away. I would think of her every day, wishing we were still together. She helped me get through the time there, so I tried to give her the same in return.

Whilst we were talking, I thought of the regret I had carried around for not telling her how I really feel. Should I tell her now?

"Hey Cher..." I was about to tell her, but very quickly backed out of it.

"And we have arrived. That went very quickly." Cheryl put her bag on her back and stood up. I did the same and made my way off the bus.
