The Downfall Of Us All

Chapter 2 - Journey

Chapter 2: Journey

I couldn't help the smile that immediately sprung to my face as I saw my best friend Morgan come up to the car with her Mum, Georgina.  My mum and hers had been friends ever since secondary school.

'Hey!' I squealed happily, pulling Morgan straight away into a tight hug.

'Hey, squashing me much?' She rolled her eyes and then giggled. 

Morgan looked at me with emerald green eyes, her long hair -that was recently dyed jet black - fell down to around her waist.

'So.... girls,' My Mum began,  looking intently at both of us.

'What?' We both asked suspiciously

'I accidentally bought one direction tickets...' She trailed off, but couldn't keep a straight face, breaking out in laughter.

We both rolled our eyes, 'Really, Mum?' I groaned.

'Never do that again,' Morgan piped up.

'I actually thought that was real, damn!' Georgina joined in.

We all laughed, as we pulled up in front of the train station.

We all got out of the car as my Dad helped us with our bags and rucksacks.

'Have fun guys!' He exclaimed, eyes lighting up as he gave me and my Mum tight hugs.

'We will,' I grinned

'Take care of your Mum, Han,' he told me, in a serious tone of voice. 'I will,' I replied, in an equally serious tone of voice.

We all  headed over to our train platform.

Looking around, the platform was deserted, there was hardly anyone here? Maybe we were the only ones going to Leeds? It could be possible.

The concert was in the Leeds O2 Academy apparently, I'd never been there before myself.  But I had been to Leeds, it was a really nice place in my opinon. Everyone seemed friendly, even though there are high crime rates there, but to be honest, everywhere had quite a high average crime rate.

Our train came eventually, after a 15 minute wait.  We were neither too late nor too early. 

We waited for the masses of people to get off the train and stepped on.

Heaving our luggage down the narrow aisles, we eventually got to our seats.  There were four seats, separated in the middle by a giant brown oak table. 

Taking off my rucksack, I put it on the floor.  My rucksack had a red and black plaid pattern, and I normally used it for school.  Not that I'd be going in on Monday.

'Why don't you put it up at the top with ours?' My Mum suggested.

'Okay,' I agreed nervously, unsure about the idea.

My rucksack in my hands,  I tried to push up to fit it on top of the luggage in the luggage compartment, but it nearly slipped out of my hands and hit the person nearest on the head!

Luckily, I grabbed it just in time.

'Want me to help you with that?' Georgina offered.

'Thanks,' I mumbled, looking down at my feet with embarrassment as I went scarlet.

Georgina slipped the rucksack up into the luggage compartment, on top of all our bags and suitcases.

'Thanks G, you're a star,' My Mum sounded slightly apologetic.

I just sighed heavily from embarrassment and sipped at my coke, majority of the time we were on the train I was joking around with Morgan,  looking at her instagram and playing Temple Run on her tablet.  Also, the Additional eating sweets and Skittles.

I was staring blankly out the window when Morgan tapped at my shoulder with her hand.

I groaned inwardly, ignoring her as our parents got up to go to the toilets,  as the train was about 20 minutes away from arriving in Leeds.

Morgan tapped me again and I turned to look at her.

'What's up?' I asked.

'I found Andy Biersack's instagram!' She squealed.

I opened my mouth to speak but got cut off.

'He's got a Kik account as well!' She exclaimed, throwing a grin at me.

'I don't think...' I trailed off.

'You should add him!' The excitement was obvious in her voice.

'Should I?'

'Yeah!'

I just grinned back, tapping his kik name into my phone and sending a message along with it:

'Hi c:'

'There, I've done it!' I couldn't help the smile creeping up my face.

We just exchanged smiles, I brushed that annoying strand of red hair out my face again, fingers playing with my pentagram necklace as our parents came back.

That's when we heard the voice over the intercom:

'Next stop, Leeds. This train terminates here.'

Me and Morgan were both squealing as we all gathered our luggage and bags together.

The train pulled to an abrupt stop.

I slowly walked off with the others, cautious and very aware of my new surroundings, as well as the feeling of excitement running through me.

We were here.

In Leeds.
