"LILY WAKE UP OR YOU'LL MISS YOUR TRAIN" Mia calls from downstairs

"COMING MIA" i call back down to her, i slowly walk downstairs with my bag, i walk into the kitchen for Mis to look me up and down with a disapproving look

'I hope you aren't wearing that to the funeral' Mia says shaking her head going to back to cooking Gerald food, i look down at my black tracksuit pants and pink tank top

"Come one Mia, i am not insane...i am wearing it on the train Eve and Kai would give me the same look" she chuckles at my comment

"Do you want a ride to the train station?" Gerald asks walking into the Kitchen

"No thanks Gerald, i should be alright to walk"

"You are walking! With that bag...nope i'll take it to the car now" Gerald grabs my bag and walks out the door before i could protest, i grab a green apple...my favourite

"I best be going, bye Mia, i'll call you when i arrive" i say hugging her and walking out to the car where Gerald was waiting, he saw me walking out and got into the car buckling his seat, i climb into the passenger seat and off we drove, it was a 7-10 minute walk and like a 5 minute car ride.

"Are you going to be ok kiddo?" Gerald asks breaking the silence

"Yeah, I will. It isn't my first funeral for dead parents, but it's the first i'll remember" i chuckle as he stays quiet, i mean i'm not wrong.

"You know the rules, right" he says looking at me as i nod in response, looking out the window i see the trees zoom past, he pulls into the train carpark and he stops in the drop off taxi zone. I jump out of the car and grab my bag, Gerald winds down his window

"Amber, call Mia when you get there ok and be safe, bye" with that he zooms off, now don't get me wrong i love Mia and Gerald and i'm thankful for them but they aren't the fittest and Gerald is 100% going to die soon, he is a weird dude. I walk into the train station and go to the front desk

"Hi"

"Hello miss how can i help you?" the lady was young, she look around mid 20s

"I'm looking for a ticket to Scotland"

"Yep, there is a train leaving in 3 minutes if that suits you?" she asks

"That's perfect thank you" she prints the ticket and hands it to me and waves over a man, he was tall and had a gut, his brown shaggy beard and long shaggy hair was quite a sight

"This man will lead you to your gate, quick quick" geez i feel like royalty

"yeh better be quick or your goin' ter miss the train, this way ter 9 an' 3 quarters" he spoke a bit...funny, wait

"9 and 3 quatres!?"

"yes miss smith, yeh do know your past" i freeze in my tracks

"WHAT" i shout drawing unwanted attention

"quick quick yeh, i'll explain on the train" he says lightly pushing my back as i start walking, we run onto the train and into a big compartment must be for him, as we were sealed off i could still see other kids my age and younger and older boarding the train and some teary mums and comforting dads waving at some children, there was a group of nine that walked passed us and one of the boys, tall curly brown hair and chocolate eyes you could get lost in, a little cut across the bridge of his nose too, he was hot...our eyes were locked the whole time his group walked passed and he had a confused look in his eyes as he kept walking, i sat there looking in shock and about 5 minutes later the train whistle broke me out of my thoughts, i didn't know i was thinking about him till the whistle.
