The 4:11 Train

Berwyn

The girl noticed how quiet the boy had become. She began to worry. What did she do wrong? Did she say something to make him mad.

"Finn, are you okay?"

"Abby, I need to be honest with you." The boy took a deep sigh in. "I'm not a photographer."

"Okay big deal, what do you do?"

"I'm an actor, and I have been since I was young. I was in Stranger Things and the 2017 adaptation of IT. I was in a mass amount of other movies. And I'm also in a band. A band that we have talked about today. You know Calpurnia, ya know City Boy?" The girl nodded her head slowly. "I'm the singer and I'm playing guitar. I'm so sorry for lying to you Abby, I was just scared you'd treat me differently because I'm famous."

The girl sighed slightly, and took a deep breath in.

"You waited this long to tell me? Tell me again what you were in."

"Stranger Things, which was one of the top Netflix shows. The 2017 adaptation of IT by Stephen King, one of the top grossing movies of the year. I was in Dog Days with A few famous people. I was in The Turning another horror movie. I was in the Goldfinch, based off of the book. And a whole bunch more, but Abby listen to me, I didn't mean to hurt you. At least I was honest about knowing Calpurnia and them writing good songs, I mean hell, I wrote them for gods sake."

The boy became exasperated trying to please her, he just wanted her to understand what he was feeling. He wasn't trying to show off or anything. He was just trying to help her understand.

"Finn, you said you weren't trying to hurt me. But you did. I trusted you, I've known you for literally an hour, and I trusted you. So much."

The girl was hurt beyond words.

The boy just wanted to help her.
