Trains Taxis and Broken Hearts

So where did we left off?

Once the elevator hit the ground floor I wasn't wearing shoes and just a simple jeans and shirt combo, Lucas shirt to be exact. The door of the elevator opened I had a clear path to the door running at full speed until I hit the hospital door opening automatically with the sensors. My brain was numb and panicky sobbing as I ran. I got the main road waving a taxi down and jumping in who knows what he thought probably that I was a druggie or hospital escape, I reached into my pocket pulling out a few scrunched notes and coins counting them in my shaking hands.

"U-m, Ho-w much f-o-r th-i-s?" I stuttered to the taxi driver holding my hand out, he counted the disgruntled notes and washed out coins and smiled at me closing the money in my palms with my fingers.

"I can get you to the train station, on the house,"

"I cant do that,"

"Dear, you can repay me another day,"

"Thank you so much, Hopefully, I can repay you one day,"

I smiled at the man and his generosity, how could a simple man see a girl run to his car with not even 5 dollars and give her a free ride. I lean my head on the window watching the rain pass by and the clouds drifting slowly oh how I wished none of this had happened, Quinn is gone and now I've left Luca at least now he can focus on his exchange program but he's such a bad boy I don't know. My head felt cold against the glass then I shut my eyes a single tear falling down my cheek.

--------------

After a few minutes, we arrived at the train station my eyes fluttering open to see that we weren't at the train station but a thrift store. I wiped my glassy orbs and sitting up,

"What are we doing here?"

"I don't want you to look like a hoodlum,"

"Fair enough, but I don't have any money,"

"Its cheap,"

I rolled my eyes at him lazily and getting out of the cab, I crossed my arms holding myself from the cold.

We stepped inside the store and I tried to be quick grabbing a big army jacket that I thought of for practicality on my travels and just some generic shirts and pants, Bob (My new Taxi driver friend) added a backpack to my mix of items and a dad cap with a random truck logo on the front. I smiled at my outfit choice,

"New me Dad style,"

I giggled to myself placing the items on the counter, the checker was punk and smiled at Bob and me while adding up the total of our purchases.

Once we had our stuff paid for I walked out of the shop putting on my jacket and the hood smiling at Bob as we strolled back to the cab, He told me the train station was only a few minutes away. Bob asked me on the way there what I was doing and where I was going I answered simply and indecisively I didn't know where I was going I just knew I didn't want to be here. The rain had gotten much heavier now and I couldn't hear the radio anymore it was just softly playing a tune I couldn't hear.

--------------

At the station, I gave Bob a big hug thanking him for everything he got the cap he bought and chucked it on my head like a father with their kid.

When he left the station to go back to his work I wiped a tear from my eye how did this man mean so much to me and I only just met him. I waited for the next train to come seeing all the people walking back and forth on the platform while I was I my own little world, the next train pulled up I didn't know where it was going or how far it was going but I got on sitting on a seat near the carriage doors I pulled my bag onto my lap zipping it open and putting my hat into it as I shoved the hat into the nook of the bag a saw a strange object I pulled it out .

A book,

Bob must of suck it in my bag as I left.

'Twilight'

How random but Bob must be a fan? I giggled to myself grinning down at the cover an old lady on the seat across from me also smiled and then gave me a dollar. SHe must have known something. I put my feet up on the seat my back against the window using my bag as a pillow, beginning to start reading.
