Location: Outside Dave’s Liquor Who: Amelia Leon Alvarez & @pcppersawyer What: Amelia and Pepper reunite for the first time since Amelia ghosted her best friend ten years ago. Triggers: deportation mention
Okay, so coming back to Hidehill probably wasn’t the best idea Amelia ever had but it was definitely not the worst. However, that didn’t remove the ample amount of awkward encounters and conversations with people of her past. Emilia had been the hardest, obviously, but the second hardest was probably this one right here. Pepper had been her best friend growing up, the two of them thick as thieves, but when Amelia fled the town after her break up with Emilia and the deportation of her family, she had cut ties with Pepper. The once former friends had not spoken in a decade and yet, here Mel was waiting for Pepper to finish her shift at Dave’s. It was probably wrong to ambush her ex-best friend like this but she didn’t know what else to do. When the other finally walked out of the liquor store, Amelia inhaled deeply and took a step forward. “Hey,” she said awkwardly, rubbing at the back of her neck. “I heard you worked here now so I figured I would come and say hi.” What else could she really say?
