The Train that stole our Tommorow. - Chapter 2 – The Girl Who Never Stopped Talking

"Excuse me..."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUHT2q2qcf

Methon didn't move.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99sTkvu0Ir

The girl blinked twice before waving a hand in front of his face.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmuQvugBgg

"Hello? Earth to handsome stranger."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eHSUhX7I6

Still no response.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFpQNsDEyj

She sighed dramatically and pointed at the seat.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vLPkohYe3

"You're sitting in my seat."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRgd1iRjcz

Silence.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOu4D8ewZN

Methon kept staring at the floor as if he hadn't heard a single word.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iKXkxrPax

The girl shrugged.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuj6XwlK4KI

"Fine. I don't mind."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMfDOS4ipt

She smiled to herself and grabbed the overhead pole instead.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbqQLgv56U

"I don't really get nervous about these little things anyway."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0hNEldXg9

The train began moving again.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlwwRx1vz0D

For a few seconds, she quietly observed him.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN13h1plq0

His expensive suit.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDChHxJlmW

His tired eyes.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9muG0bJtPZ

His clenched fists.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiCu6IdFL4

The way he looked completely lost despite sitting among hundreds of people.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRhsdVJBKL

She tilted her head.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNr1Ckr4Dn

"You know... you look like someone who hasn't smiled in years."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xYcjLd2Q7

No answer.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal1uRQfusM

"My name is Valindra."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuKYQagVrGt

Nothing.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea2CPXCzdo

"I'm a college student."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ERgk04r3T

Silence.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOXhHcOUofl

"I'm going back to my hometown because my holidays just started."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0mM2eqiJx

Still nothing.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMJdvU6ob3

"My family wants me to marry someone I don't love."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnY2CmN9lk

She paused before smiling.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JRVfphcFI

"But I already love someone else."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS0eMy6za4

Methon's fingers tightened slightly.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS2tIrWgv6x

His eyes remained fixed on the floor.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpuZesROIWq

"The funny part is..." she continued, "my family has no idea."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY58PPoHREA

She laughed softly.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX3FMKWJF2

"They've already found another boy for me."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZAazBrCiA

She leaned a little closer.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TubvRAVLe

"But I'm not giving up."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPSTKAT8lG

She whispered dramatically,

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFm8lvWHAl

"I'm going to run away from home."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEd39Yu7FI

Methon's jaw tightened.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACpSjLE4Md

Valindra didn't notice.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY1GikN3HZ

"I love a guy named Elon."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOCazPoRsm

She smiled dreamily.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dAJJyvPOf

"I don't know what will happen when I reach home, but if they force me... I'll leave everything behind and run away."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyQMB5DKI2

She kept talking without expecting a reply.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmci5Bmnu13

"My parents think they're doing the right thing."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9TMIv6Kbx

"My grandparents are on their side."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12b1iw0YUV

"My cousins keep teasing me."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1anF8YAdq

"But honestly..."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0z2ZQz3RT

She smiled.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXZUM0RFfi

"Life is only once."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsYwz02N7k

"So why should I live it according to someone else's rules?"

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9dwCCqXVN

For the first time, Methon slowly lifted his head.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE1mjqNc0E

Valindra noticed.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFz7RHGLsR

"Oh!"

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAdjYXnYhSr

"So you can hear me."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHJxPomNpx

She grinned proudly.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzeeCKON6n

"I knew it."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkq0DNpVYNK

Suddenly, Methon stood up.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFF3zgQFwB

His voice was calm...

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GPzKYFv1i

Too calm.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza3lupyhAn

"You've been talking ever since you got on this train."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMBPLlrGNs

Valindra's smile faded.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY1TY59Nsr

"I don't know who you are."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesRbsTIkuq

"I don't know why you're telling me your life story."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNqd3fvMHv

"I don't care about your family."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhimAPrhzux

"I don't care about Elon."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaUCvNDeTKy

"And I certainly don't care whether you run away from home or not."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02khKOZffb

His eyes were cold.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtdZsE9lfh

"Can you please leave me alone?"

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOopwencET

The passengers nearby fell silent.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrAweVui9n

Valindra looked at him for a moment.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbp6kIxUJ9

Then...

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuho9JXsXCe

She smiled.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJvqhwgrtw

"Done?"

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxmfgDFpnL

Methon frowned.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93n8MEdGlH

"Because if you're done..."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DXri23Qhu

She folded her arms.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkKO8Aiw5x

"...then it's my turn."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuAu2XF6zR

"You know what's funny?"

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWotHZRpLP

"You keep telling me to leave you alone."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cuJGZjCGa

"But your face..."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoyNUu9iil

She pointed at him.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVuV80ZQgz

"...is screaming for someone to stay."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe01J7r4lR

Methon looked away.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUjlbjiPtf

"I've seen that look before."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXTcaXsqXI

"The look of someone pretending they're okay."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnbzCPJ2l1

"You've been hurt."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQJdlyyO8a

"A lot."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlzYJfg4mJ

He remained silent.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjygq7fkyyR

She continued softly.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RyTkGbywA

"I don't know who broke your heart."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobNBVTx7dT

"I don't know what happened."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4wiSIHz0y

"But whatever it is..."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9QOcwEA3D

"It will pass."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuaZgtqudS

He laughed bitterly.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmSBqMtgAd

"You don't even know me."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0k78Av8K3

"No."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPp7tgUMkf

She smiled.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5NbrVQW0N

"I don't."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tmdp4QDDS

"But sometimes..."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm9Wk4lozNV

"The easiest person to talk to is a stranger."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSFVoNYVNN

For the first time in days...

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmskkll37G

Methon didn't have an answer.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1ez3zdzeM

The announcement echoed through the train.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4cZg4vU3t

"Next station..."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewwhWC4KXV

Valindra looked toward the door.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9J3bnsz0Fm

"Oh."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pKW97LAS6

"This is my stop."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUJwskRxWM

She picked up her backpack.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM17Yz1msx

Before stepping out, she looked back at him one last time.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNqr73RyvX

"I hope one day..."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HooIWjYa9

"...you smile again."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6DBWyfIYu

The train doors opened.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoFubndLx0

Methon quietly stepped out as well.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspaThRXDwb

Valindra blinked in surprise.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6b0p8bkcL5

"Wait..."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET2kmioKCT

She laughed.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QKYW5uGma

"Don't tell me this is your station too."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfwvIhDsWv

Methon walked away without answering.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ICUhHDRTk

Valindra smiled to herself.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOHFD1aNqZ

"This guy is definitely strange."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIKbAlBZk7

She had no idea...

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzay6C4OTl

Their journey had only just begun.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETmEwkIn4Y
