Is It Love Or Is it a dream

Chapter 8

--------------
Lee's POV
--------------

Stampy sent me the train ticket. I love how you can scan tickets now through your phone. I thought it was so cool. Anyway I started walking to the train station. I had my big duffle bag and backpack. It started raining again.

It was another thunderstorm, great. It was getting pretty ruff. The wind was howling and pushing me back. I didn't know if I was even moving forward. No one was out driving or anything. It was like a ghost town. It was still early, but you would think people were going to work. Maybe it was because of the storm.

I make it to town at least. My directions on my phone were correct. That's one positive thing.

The storm got worse as I got into town. I couldn't wait till I was at Stampy's, or at least on the train. I checked my phone.

Are you almost at the train station?~ Stampy

I just made it to the town.~ Me

Ok good. See you soon. :)~ Stampy

It made me happy that Stampy still liked me. I screwed up, but he still helps me out. It confused me, but I tried not to think about it.

I just kept walking. I made it to Main Street. Good, not to much longer to walk. Just a few blocks down. I was so happy I was almost there. Finally I wont be fighting the wind.

As I was walking I heard a few sniffles. The rain was blowing in my face so I couldn't see.

"Hello"? I asked a little frightened.

"Hello"? I heard a little girl say.

I looked over on the curve and there's a little girl sitting there crying. I run over to her and sit down next to her. I try and shield her from the rain a bit with my bag.

"Why are you sitting out here"? I asked.

"My dad was supposed to pick me up last night. I didn't want to leave in case he came. I'm guessing he's not coming anymore though. I feel dumb for sitting here, but I didn't know what to do". She said still sniffling.

"It's ok. I promise. Come with me." I said.

"Are you sure it's ok"? She asked.

"I promise. Just we got to hurry. Were going on a train to my friends house. If that's ok"?

"It will be better than this. Let's go"!

We both hop up. We start running to the train station. We finally make it. We were drenched. We walk over to wear you can scan your ticket. I scanned it and I just thought of the little girl. She doesn't have a ticket. What was I going to do? I can try and sneak her on. Crap, I'm not sure.

"Hey, how are you supposed to get on the train without a ticket"? I asked.

"I've done it before. It will be fine trust me." She said that with a cheeky grin on her face.

Our train arrived and we both walk over to it. She walks up to a random lady with a few more children. She budges in front of one of the kids. The mom had the ticket that you punched. The man punched all their tickets. He had to hold the last kid back.

"Hang on there little boy, you don't have a ticket so you can't get on".

The little boy starts crying. The mom runs back out and tells the man she had a ticket for him. She showed him and he let the boy on forgetting about the one that snuck on. I smirk a bit on how clever that is.

I get on the train and get to my seat. The little girl finds me and sits down next to me.

"You're very clever". I said.

"Thank you, I've done it a few times".

"So, I haven't got a chance to ask, what's your name"? I asked.

"My name is Bea Anna Clark, but you can just call me Bea. What's your name"?

"My name is Lee Carson, but you can call me Lee".

The train starts moving and Bea starts staring out the window. I was surprised she didn't recognize me from the news paper. Not that isn't a good thing. Finally, a person that doesn't know what I did. I'm sure she will find out soon, but not today.

A few hours passed. I had my ear buds in. I looked over and saw Bea asleep. I smiled a bit. She reminded me of my little sister. I turn on my phone and look at my photos. I was looking at pictures of me and my sister. I missed her so much. A tear came to my eye. It ran down my face and dropped on my hand.

Few hours passed again. We were both awake. I had a deck of cards in my backpack. I pulled them out and we started playing Go Fish. We both laughed. A while later we put the cards away. We both started telling some stuff about our selves. We really got to know each other. Except, she will never know the real me.

Finally we arrive in the UK. We got off the train. Stampy was there waiting for us. We both smile when we see each other. He gave me a weird look when he saw Bea.

"Hi Stamps, long time no see". I said.

"No kidding. Who's this little one"? He asked.

"Oh this is Bea. When I was walking to the train station I heard crying. She was sitting on the curve. She said her dad was supposed to pick her up last night, but he never did. It's nice here compared to Scotland".

"Hi, I'm Bea Anna Clark". She said.

"Hi I'm Stampy".

We started walking to the car. Bea looked up at me and smiled. I smiled back down at her. She put her little hand in mine. She felt like a little sister to me. She sat in the back seat and I sat in the front. Stampy drove us back to his house.

We got to his house and put our bags inside.

"Do you want your own room, or do you want to share one"? I asked her.

I saw Stampy peeking around the corner watching. He was smiling at us.

"I want to share a room with you, if that's ok"? She said.

"Yep let's go in this room then". I said.

We put our bags in the room with two beds.

We walk downstairs and sit on the couch. We were both very tired from our long day. Stampy turned on the TV. Before I knew it Bea fell asleep leaning on me. I smiled then shut my eyes.
