Once Upon An Us

Chapter - 4 : The train

Finally we reached the station 2 minutes before. Denise asked me to get bottles of water.
I so hate her for this, she was here for an hour, she could've easily got the bottles but she was bloody waiting for me to get this. I wasn't in the mood of argument , leaving the bags with Bailey and Anna, I rushed to get the bottles.
And I must admit hordes of people stand around the station uselessly. Narrowing my eyes I gave the horde a look.
Somehow I managed to get the bottles.
But oh ho ho, "whattttttt theeeeeeee ffffff..... " I ran with five bottles in my hand to catch the train which was about to take pace. And luckily it stopped somehow , I entered the train but a large troop of people were standing in the passage and there was no way I could get in to my seat which was somewhere in the middle.
I wanted to shout my lungs out right there, right in front of everyone, but I chose to remain calm as no power was left in me to do an argument and create a scene.

Moving through the passage I saw someone I've seen before but I couldn't recognize. He was having sharp jaws and a dimple on his right cheeks.
He saw me staring and moved his eyes in another direction after a while of standing at the same place , I tried relooking at that sharp-jaw guy but he couldn't be seen anywhere.
I wanted to know who he was but then I pushed this curiosity at the back of my head like a push a lot of stuffs these days.

Finally I reached my seat, and threw the bottles on Denise's lap. She smirked.

All through the way the girls were playing 'truth and dare', 'never have I ever' and surprisingly the boys from other seats joined them too.
I preferred watching the night to playing games.
The same guy with the sharp jaws and a dimple crossed our seat. I saw him.
' I know him. I bloody know him... But I don't know him. What the hell is this behavior, universe, why do you like to play with me? 'I thought giving an innocent yet pissed look to the sky .

"I'll be back soon , give me a call if you get worried " I told Bailey and was on my way to leave my seat when I saw the man with dimples moving towards us.
"Here, Liam ", called a guy, waving at him, sitting opposite to Densie.
I instantly turned my face to Anna and Bailey , they saw my face and got all their answers at once, they were about to excuse their way to me but I stopped them and gestured to them that I was fine , we girls are pro at talking with eyes.
Liam and I stared at each other and I turned around without again being caught in his eyes , I dropped my hair loose which was tied in a bun a min ago. I left that place with my earphones on.  Pretending that I was on a call ,people having common sense would instantly know that it was an act since no one calls you at 2AM until it's your birthday.
I sat near the entrance and enjoyed gazing at the full moon. I was listening to an emotional soothing song ' Jo Tu Na Mila' by Asim Azhar and some how I went back to the past again but this time I was confident and I knew that shedding tears would just spoil my mood, so I closed my eyes to feel the song more.

My phone beeped and a message popped on my screen ' you okay , need us? '  . A smile ran on my emotionally dried up face.
'Yeah I'm good , will text you if I feel down. ' I texted them back. I didn't want to spoil anyone's mood because of me plus that Denise would smell something fishy and then she'll broadcast it in the whole college.

I listened to another song on the playlist and decided to go back to my girls otherwise they won't be able to enjoy.

"Oouch!! " I crashed into someone's chest who was standing just behind me.
A tear fell down my cheeks when I saw his face, it was, it was Liam Brett.
"Sorry! " I said picking up the phone that fell off my hand.
"How are you? ", he questioned .
" Yeah, I'm good, how are you? " I replied with a faint smile.
"Great and happy ", He said looking directly into my eyes penetrating my soul.
His eyes , they speak a lot, something his mouth will never say and he himself will never show. I wanted to read his eyes a little more but that would make my life miserable.
" I need to go , Anna and Bailey must be waiting " I rushed past him to my seat. One more minute with him and I would definitely fell back in love again .
I went to my seat . I told Anna and Bailey that I wanted to sleep but they were enjoying their game and I felt guilty for spoiling their game. Nobody amongst the whole group wanted to move their butt even by an inch.
Liam was nowhere near.
I sat beside Bailey with my head on her shoulders and my hands wrapped around her arm.
A guy, I don't know his name though, offered me his seat which was 4 seats ahead.
Densie insisted me to sleep on his seat since according to her I was spoiling their game.
I hugged Anna and Bailey and left for his seat.
I sat their beside the window, I had my novel and pen along with me .
I read a few pages without even caring for who's sleeping around .
I wrote my letter and put it between the pages of my book. I sat their looking at the outside world that was getting darker by every passing minute and finally when my eyes couldn't remain open any longer I decided to sleep.
My phone beeped again and a notification popped up that read ' gd ni8 babes, just a call away ' , a tear fell on the floor of the train and I have no clue when I slept.
