~THREE~

I woke up. The summer sun shining through the window. Josh's arms were wrapped tightly around my torso. His body was against mine as his chin rested lightly on my head. He noticed I was awake.
" Hey sunshine" he said in a sweet but also groggy morning voice. He smiled.
I got up and sorta gave him a death stare. I don't like pet names and he knows that. My hair was in knots all over my head
" Ooh sorry. Not Miss. Sunshine" he said grabbing a hairbrush. I rolled my eyes.

He knelt behind me and started to comb my matted hair. When he was finshed he kissed my cheek.
" You missed." I said plainly. He grabbed my jaw turned my face towards him. He smashed his lips into mine as our lips moved in sync. He pulled away.

"Come on let's go shopping before you have to go." He said. I smiled as he took my hand and helped me up.

We walked around for a bit. We went to a few stores. He bought me a new switchblade and a new leather jacket. And most importantly. Matching sunglasses. Josh unlike me, had money.

It was a nice day. The air was warm with a breeze and the sun was shining.
We walked passed my apartment as the fuzz swormed the building. I knew it was about Charlie and my mom.
" Let's get out of here," Josh said. He took my hand and pulled me away from the building. We ran back to his house laughing like little kids.

It was starting to get dark out. I sat on Josh's bed as he packed away some of the clothes I had left from previous sleepovers. The suitcase was now about to burst. His clock read 7:50. Is was about almost time for me to leave.

We took his car down to the train station. He held my hand the whole time starting when we first got into the car all the way up to my train rolling to a stop in front of us.
He let go of my hand. I looked at him. Tears filled his eyes slightly.

" Oh don't cry, baby. It's ok" I said sadly tilting my head slightly and cupping his cheeks with my hands. I looked deep into his eyes.
He nodded.
" Promise me you'll visit." He said clearing his voice obviously trying to sound tough.
" Yeah" I said nodding my head. A single tear fell from my cheek. " I promise."

He nodded. " Just call me when you get where ever your suppose to be. Okay?" He said. He wiped the tear that had slipped down my cheek. He kissed my lips and pulled me into a hug. He hugged me tightly. I hugged him back never wanting to let go.
" Way to go asshole. You made me cry." I said laughing and crying. He laughed slightly too. I wiped my cheeks with the back of my sleeve.
He helped my heavy suitcase up onto the train.
" Goodbye Joshua." I said to him.
" Goodbye, Delaney." He pecked my nose with a kiss. He walked back to the platform of the station.
He gave one last wave before the train doors shut.
The train started to slowly roll along the tracks. Josh turned away and started to walk to his car.

I walked through the train hoping to find an open seat.
I saw a young lady sitting in an aisle seat.
" Excuse me? Mind if I sit there?" I asked the yound lady
" Oh ofcourse not! Please I would love some company on this long ride!" She yelled. Oh great. I hate talking to talkative people. All they do is cut you of in the middle of your sentence and never shut up!

I smiled. Kinda. I slid my bag under my seat and made my way over her and into my seat. "Thanks" I said.

" What's bringing you to Tulsa sweetie?" She said. She took off her sunglasses. Now she looks to be around her forties.

" I'm going to live with my brother." I said. " I haven't seen him since I was like ten, so he probably doesn't recognize me." I layed my head against the window. I watched the trees pass.

" Oh I'm sure he will remember you." She said. " I'm going to see my grandson. His name is Robert. Handsome young man he is. He's 17." She said smiling clutching her purse.

" Grandson?" I said confused.

" Oh sweetie, I'm 67." She said laughing.

" Ma'am, you look not a day over 20" I said plainly and bored. I could have been more enthusiastic but I didn't feel like it. She just went on and on about everything in the world.

This was going to be a long 40 hours.
