The Train Journey Home

The train journey back home was funny, their was a couple fight and arguing and about to split up and I was sitting across from them. They consistently argued and I personally was getting annoyed until, the guy sitting in front of me at the table tells her to leave because he's a dick, asshole and a piece of shit nobody wanted and She moved her seat and cried, I felt bad, so I it out of my seat and walked towards the crying girl in the train toilet, I chapped and she ignored me and told me an I quote "fuck off George, nobody cares anymore, I'm done" I kept chap ping an asked she was okay, he opened the door and I grappled toilet tissue and helped her, he was destroyed, this guy was a fucking arse whole! I looked at her wrist, 'it gets better'. in my opinion that phrase is over used a lot! But I looked up at the maybe 20 year old girl an I smiled, so she felt safe. I hope she did.

"Lilac" she said softly as ah pushed the tear covered hair behind her ear.

"Petal" I kept smiling so she knew I was fine and I wouldn't hurt her.

"Nice to meet you Petal" she pushed her shoulders back and took the tissue off me and furiously wiped her face with it.

"Nice to meet you two, Lilac" I felt happy for the young girl, "what brings you on the train?"

"Well we, I mean me. I was going to go to my nana's birthday"

"Well happy birthday to her, how old is she? 21?"

She giggled, "yeah, but in all seriousness she's 85"

"Wow, that grand age!"

We carried in our chatter when you hear her ex-boyfriend screaming and shouting; "lilac, I'm sorry, but you are a bitch!"

What a ass whole, I mean she was crying her eyes out and he still had the confidence to call her a bitch. I mean that's fucking stupid, I walked back to my seat with Lilac, she was smiling until she reached George, she started to go pale and the guy in front of me looks at me and moves George away, Lilac sat down beside me and smiled she got her phone out and started to smile, I looked over it was herself, mum and nana in a picture. It was a sweet picture. The train stopped, George was taken off the train and put into one of those transport police stations they have at every train station.

That 1 hour and 45 minute train journey want to bad, though I live in Bristol I think this is the first time I've actually enjoyed a train journey. Oh yeah I live in Bristol all by my self, well not exactly I live with my best friend Shaun, me and Shaun have been friends since I was at uni, yeah that long! I work as a props and design manager, while Shaun is a LFX(light effect) and SFX (sound effects) operator, he's your main man!

While leaving the train station, approaching the exit I bumped into Aubrey, Aubrey!! My best fried Aubrey!

We started chatting and stuff we left and walked to a little café we both loved we had coffee and a slice of cake or two, Aubrey was amazing actress, she did a degree in musical theatre worked alongside me at the Old Vic in Bristol then got offered 'Amber Von Tussle' in the broadway musical Hairspray, I was jealous a little because that was my favourite musical of all time! Though Aubrey is 3 years younger than me, she still looks 16.

My phone started to ring and I excused myself, I looked down to see Phee phoning me, I answered.

"Hello"

"Hiya, Petal I was wondering where you place my pjs?"

"Aw I washed them and placed them under your pillow, hope that was okay?"

"Yeah that's fine"

"Well I'm ping to have to excuse myself as I've just met Aubrey"

"You should of text me an I wouldn't of phoned, bye"
