By the way everything I can't guarantee everything I say about train lines is correct because I'm NOT a foreign train line enthusiast.
"What would I do without you?" I asked, then suddenly I realised the floor was vibrating. The track was vibrating, I saw the train was rushing towards us,
"what the..." Cherry started,
"oh my god," I was frozen, just like a rabbit in the head lights and the train was coming.
Next thing I knew was that I was falling and I heard a whoosh and I collided with something heavy.
My eyes flicked open, something hard collided with my face. I winced,
"you said the line was disused," Cherry yelled, tears running down her face,
"and you said Hitler was German," I replied,
"but..."
"he was only a German citizen after 25th February 1932, from his birth in 1889 to 1925, he was an Austrian citizen. Which means he wasn't officially a citizen of any country between 1925-1932..."
"Immy you could have gotten us killed!" Cherry yelled, disturbing my little ramble.
"You put both of us in danger. I said we should have gone a different way..."
"look Cherry I made a mistake, I didn't realise that it was a real train line. I genuinely thought it was closed and..." she gave me a death stare, I gulped. She looked at me pityingly and shook her head, and turned and walked away.
Still in a haze I stumbled after her, "don't follow," she hissed,
"but... Cherry..." she just shook her head, "if you came this far why are you giving up now?" she paused,
"Immy..." she started, "I'm confused."
"By what? How Hitler was officially a citizen of no country for 7 years?"
"Immy," she smiled then she became serious again, "I don't know what... I mean who... wait... no. I can't explain it," I paused, "Immy it's not the same..."
"What isn't?" I asked, genuinely worried.
"Immy... I barely know you," she suddenly stated, "before I had the accident we had only known each other a week, and now... I just... I just can't. Immy it's not the same, I don't understand it..."
"I can help with it: hit me; family problems; school problems; boy problems. Actually forget the latter," I grinned at her, but it slid off my face at the look she shot me.
"Immy it's not the same. You're not the same."
"Everyone changes," I told her,
"YES!" she exclaimed, "that's it,"
"that's what?"
"How I can explain it to you," she looked at me, I had no idea what was coming next. "Immy I have changed, so have you and I think... I think it is honestly best if..."
"if we what?"
"Immy I think it would be best if we broke up," I stopped,
"What? Why? When? Now?"
"Look Immy I don't... please just don't question me, it's over," in a hazy fuzz I backed away, "Immy,"
"I've heard it all before!" I yelled at her, "I thought you were different but you are JUST LIKE THE OTHERS!" I cried and I sprinted off, my world spinning, my head hurting and my heart shattered.
There was one place I needed to be.
The one place I always could run.
The one place I always had run.
And that was my destination.
