It was Monday morning and I was stood on the platform tapping my foot with impatience, the train was 10 minutes delayed already. I knew that Liam would be going of his head when i don't turn up until 10 minutes after I was supposed to. He is like the most impatient person I know.
I pulled my suitcase a little further down the platform to a bench that was now empty. It had been occupied moments before my a man eating his lunch at approximately 10 notches louder than necessary.
I placed my bag on my lap and made sure that my suitcase was well out of the way of possible trip victims and positioned myself so that I had a decent view of the notice board. You know the ones I'm talking about, the ones that tell you the estimated time that your train is definitely not going to arrive at.

About 10 minutes later, that makes it 30 minutes late ,two chimes sounded through the speakers and the announcement lady spoke up "the 7:45 train from Wolverhampton to London Waterloo is now approaching platform 2, please mind the gap" I stood up after two more chime sounds came through the speaker indicating that the announcement was finished. I stood up and extended the handle of my suitcase and held my bad close to me making my way closer to the platform so that I could get myself a decent seat. I wheeled my case behind me to the first carriage I came to and positioned myself nicely into an empty seat and to my advantage there was one of the ones with a table free. I plugged in my headphones and pressed play on my playlist, I've currently been loving the relax and unwind playlist on Spotify.
The journey went by surprisingly fast, it was so nice to sit back and watch the world go by past the window. I got so lost in my music that I didn't realise we where pulling into my stop until I looked up and saw the signs for London Waterloo outside. I swear I had never moved so quickly as I did then to scramble all of my belongings together, grab my case and get to the train doors ready to hop off.
I can't believe I am here in London and about to see my brother after so long and finally meet his four best friends. I sudden wave of excitement came over me, and maybe a few butterflies.
The train came to a stop and the doors rolled open, i stepped off quickly hauling my luggage with me. I made my way to the exit of the station and when I got outside I saw Liam stood at the door of his parked car searching the crowds of people for me, I swear he looked like one of those safari adventure guys looking out for animals, I can hear the Steve Irwin commentary now. As soon as he saw me he started waving Like a mad man. I was running towards him at this point, as soon as I reached him I threw my bags down and wrapped my arms around him engulfing him in the biggest hug ever. My frame is tiny compared to liam's so his hugs are like literal bear hugs. "PAYNO !!!! I MISSED YOU SO MUCH" I squealed, "I MISSED YOU TOO LANIE" he imitated me and laughed.
