Sam's P.O.V

Once again, I'm woken up by someone shaking me. 

Letting out a tired groan, I lift my head up off what seems to be a sleeping Calum's shoulder. And fuck my neck is sore. Molly is standing in the isle beside Calum's seat, looking like she's just woken up. Her navy tracksuit pants hang low on her waist and her dark, cropped, tie-dye muscle tee is wrinkled. I smile at how much of a state she is, her dirty-blonde hair falling past her shoulders and stopping just at her bellybutton. 

''Morning, stupid'' She 'greets' me. I look out the window and the sky is a dark grey colour which means the sun has basically just risen. ''Yeah, it's like 6am or something. We're arriving in 20 minutes'' I nod, understanding. The thought of having to stand up is horrible because of how tired I am. I rub my eyes and sigh as Calum shifts onto his side a bit more. 

''Sam, do you have any tampons or anything in your carry-on?'' Molly continues, leaning over Calum to speak to me. 

''Yeah, one sec'' I pick my backpack up off the floor and put it on my lap, unzipping it and searching around inside for the box. 

''Guys, take your 'Girl issues' somewhere else, I don't wanna hear about that stuff'' Calum groans, opening one eye and peeping out at me as I take a tampon out of the box. Me and Molly laugh as I wave one infront  of his face. 

''No!'' Calum yells into his sleeve as he edges away from my hand. We laugh again and  I throw it at Molly and she thanks me before walking away again. 

''Is it gone?'' Calum's voice is muffled in his hoodie. I just laugh and he lifts his head up again, stretching his back. ''How long until we get there?'' 

''about 20 minutes'' Calum nods, lifting up the armrest between us. 

''Let's sleep for 15 more minutes then'' I smile, shoving my bag back on the floor. That's the best idea I've heard from him in the past month. ''Cuddle'' Calum holds out his arm for me. He's always loved a good cuddle. Wrapping one arm around Calum's back and the other over his front, I let my head fall on his chest and he wraps his arm around my back. I can't help but wriggle my legs about because of the cosy warmth that's radiating off of Calum's body. Calum lets out a high-pitched, quiet laugh and we both fall asleep in seconds.

********************************

I tie my shoelaces and pull on my hoodie, leaving it open at the front. I pull my hair out of its ponytail and run my fingers through it a few times. I have a hairbrush but we're already in a rush so I don't think it's a good idea to start brushing my hair now. I zip up my bag and check on my seat for anything that I might have left behind. 

''You ready?'' Calum asks, standing up and checking his seat aswell. 

''I think so'' I stand up and step out beside him. I start walking towards the exit door on the train. Other students are filing out onto the platform outside. The sun is starting to shine and I can see all the very tired people, squinting at the sun and covering their eyes. It was definitely a good idea bringing my suglasses, especially seeing as I have no makeup on. 

''What is...'' I hear Calum start saying something behind me as I step onto the platform. 

''What'' I turn around to face him, looking at his phone screen just like he is. He tilts the screen towards me so I can see properly. Calum's lock screen is set as a picture of me lying stomach-down on top of him, his arm wrapped around my back. The two of us are fast asleep, our mouths slightly open. I can't help but laugh at how we're taking advantage of the length of the two seats, our feet tangled together against the window.

''Who did this?'' I ask Calum, still laughing. 

''Luke or Molly. They're the only ones who know my password.''

Almost straight away, Luke and Molly walk up to us, a grin playing on Luke's face. 

''You like your lock screen?'' He smirks, slinging an arm around my shoulders and taking my sunglasses. I stick my bottom lip out, looking up at him with my tired eyes.

''Love it'' Calums answers, sarcasm dripping off his words as he slides his phone into his back pocket. ''Stay away from my cellular'' He points a finger at Luke, putting on a ghetto accent and making us all laugh. 

************************************

''I can not wait to just get to the adventure centre and relax for the rest of the day'' I state, leaning my head back on the headrest. We'd just gotten onto the bus and were heading to the place we were staying all week. 

''How do you and Cal sleep so much, Jesus'' Molly murmurs, texting her Mum. I just shrug and and sigh, shutting my eyes as the warmth from the sun hits my face.

''Did he tell you why he stole my seat beside you on the train?'' Molly asks, putting her phone back in her bag. I shrug again, shaking my head slowly. 

I hear Molly go 'Hmm' but I ignore her. I'm way too tired to talk right now.
