Chapter 5.
*Beatriz's P.O.V*
It wasn't long before I found me and Bo sleeping on the train with earbuds hanging from our ears and books leaned against our faces. Small snores came our of our mouths as I was awoke by a woman handing us our lunch. Although Bo was a little more difficult to wake up, she instantly arouse to the smell of food. I looked outside the window and saw that it had been late. The sky was shadowed with the sunset as we passed loads of mountains and a large ocean. Bo stared at the view with me before we were interrupted by the lady asking us what drinks we wanted.
"Waters fine, thanks." I spoke for both of us. We ate in peace as the sky slowly filled with pitch black and it was soon midnight. The night was full of all sorts of games like 'who could spot the street light the fasted' and 'how many cars can you count in two whole minutes'. We fooled around with the passengers behind us by throwing paper planes with messages from the "dead" on the inside. We had giggle attacks and laughed way too loudly until our sugar high had came into a sugar crash way sooner than we thought at 2 in the morning.

We were awoken by jumping at the sound of a horn. I took a peak of the sky outside and saw that the sun had peeked out again. It was a nice morning sun rise.
"We'll be arriving in London, England in two minutes, Ladies and Gentleman."
I quickly took out the earbuds out of Bo's ears and she shook herself up as the message from the loud speaker repeated. We shared a loud scream as we were abruptly stopped my the train stopping. We smiled widely and picked up our bags and stood on line to get out. As we waited, we fidgeted with our fingers intertwined and squeezed each others hands. We were beginning to walk out and as we walked we passed the man that had helped us and we both waved at him. He slipped us a 100 euros each and whispered,
"Good luck on the journey." He patted our heads and we smiled and thanked him. We slowly walked out of the train with our eyes shut.
"Bo, open your eyes."
"No, you first." I scuffed.
"On three."
"Okay. One,"
"Two,"
"Three!" We both said in sync.
As we both spread open our eyes, we captured what was the beautiful sight of London. Our hands had been squeezed together so hard, our knuckles were white. The sun shined just perfectly on our atmosphere.
We turned to each other and briefly ran to the railings to look down to the streets. The air was cool, not too hot, not too cold. The people waved at us nicely as we waved down at them. We laughed and giggled and leaned down on the railings as we breathed in deeply, yelling as we exhaled. We jumped up and down and screamed as we span in a circle.
"WAIT-" Bo stopped.
"What?" I asked smiling.
"This is what it feels like to be free?" She spoke softy and sympathetically in her accent. I smiled down as we both calmed down slightly to speak,
"How does it feel?" I asked.
She took a moment to take it all in as she looked at the marvelous view.
"I- I feel so god damn alive." she smiled, as I reflected her smile.
We walked together as I said,
"Well, get used to it Bo, this is our life now. Let's go live it."
