Heads are bent down around her, the quiet breaths give her a sense of calmness. They've withered away to dream land but it doesn't bother her. She knows now is the only time tonight she'll be able to gather her thoughts. Two seats away, two boys are laughing and planning their evening out.

She sighs and smiles to herself. Today was one of the best days she's had in a while. The trip was unplanned, she didn't think it was going to happen. Wide eyed and still suffering from the lack of sleep, she hopped on to a train to Britain's second largest city.

An old friend digs up childhood memories with her and she enjoyed every minute of it. She had forgotten what it felt like to be happy. Mostly of what she felt today was relief. She now knows that there will always be others who do care about her, regardless of how or what she does. Fits of giggles and pure silliness, she wonders what had caused that wedge between them in the first place. She loved her, she always has. If she could share it all with just one person, it would have been her. No one else knew that though, no one had to. She was just happy that they've restarted their journey of becoming life long friends again.

Laughter sounds again in the quiet carriage. She glances around her and looked straight ahead across the table where her two friends sprawled across the two seats. She sighs again, hoping that tomorrow will be as good as this and thanks her lucky stars.
