Midnight Train To Nowhere

January 16th 2015

I don't even know where to begin.

So I went and said goodbye to Simon and Sabrina. I never cry, but my eyes were stinging as I hugged them goodbye. I don't know when I will see them again, if I ever do. That hurts. Bad. It's like theres this deep pit in my stomach because the safety of everything that I know and love is about to change. 

I got on the train which left a bit later than it was supposed to. I pressed my face up against the window as I watched the station get smaller and smaller. Rachel stayed on the platform until she was nothing but a speck in the distance. I hope she is going to be okay as well. I am going to miss her too. Our banter, our inside jokes. I mean she's a pain in the ass but she's still my sister. We stick together. 

Once the train was shooting into the inky black night I put in my head phones and stared out into the black nothing. I sat there a while, the rocking of the train was calming, but did nothing for the storm of emotions twisting my gut. 

When I check the time on my phone it was 12:01. Midnight.

Movement across from me caught my attention, and a girl I had spotted on the platform earlier was untangling her scarf from her chocolate brown hair. She puffed out a breath as she freed her self and then made eye contact with me. I didn't want to seem like a weirdo so I looked out the window at the darkness. 

She was really pretty. Lol I am so cringey and stereotypical. "Boy sees girl. Boy thinks girl is pretty." But no seriously. She was so pretty. She had one of those heart shaped faces that would suit anything and vibrant green eyes. Which after a while (And a few sneaky glances) I noticed that those eyes were still trained on me. 

Eventually she stood up and came and squeezed into the seat next to me. I quickly shoved my bag out of the way and pulled out my right ear phone. 

"I can hear your music." She stated. I looked down at my phone like whoops.

"Sorry, I'll turn it down." I began to turn it down but she stopped me.

"No, it's fine." She sat there for ages just looking at me. This girl is kinda weird. 

I eventually offered her to listen to music with me. And she did. I fell asleep though. And when I woke up the train was pulling into my station, and it was like 3am. I was tired and bleary eyed. I couldn't see her anywhere on the platform.

She had disappeared. 

And she had taken my headphones.
