Chapter3
"So, why are you here?" the girl in the Coheed&Cambria shirt asked (who Stacey later learned, name was Amy).
"I needed a change," Stacey whispered quietly. The girl that yelled at her, a brunet named Dawn Marie gave a small laugh. "What's so funny?" Stacey asked looking at Dawn Marie.
"I can tell you about yourself." A small asian girl, Gail, laughed at Dawn Marie.
"What are ya Dawn? Some sort of person that can read minds?" Gail inquired. Amy laughed with Gail and Stacey.
"Don't believe me?" Dawn asked, challenging to group of girls of her ability. Dawn looked at Amy in the eye. "You're a cutter. You hate your parents cause they abuse you, and your boyfriend probably did too. You did bad in school, never did anything active, and people laugh at you when you tell them your dreams of when you finish school." The girls stared at Dawn, awe struck at what she just did. Amy turned around from her seat, silently wiping tears from her eyes.
"That was a lucky guess," Amy tried to convince the girls. "Who cares if she was right? That happens to tons of people in America, it's probably why some of you guys are here too!" The guys in the front of the train turned around, taking concentration off of their card game. Amy started to sob uncontrolably, her hands started to shake. "It's not like I asked for this life," she said, trying to keep her voice at a leveled tone. A long blonde haired boy from the front started to play his guitar he brought with him. He wore ripped jeans, and to the girls joy, was shirtless most of the time. A tattoo of a shark was on his left shoulder, which went nicely with his toned arms. He started to walk over to Amy with his guitar, singing softly.
Disarm you with a smile
And cut you like you want me to
Cut that little child
Inside of me and such a part of you
Ooh, the years burn
I used to be a little boy
So old in my shoes
And what I choose is my choice
What's a boy supposed to do?
The killer in me is the killer in you
He looked over at Amy and gave her a quick smile
My love I send this smile over to you
He was the quietest person on the train. No one knew his name because he never spoke to anyone. The girls looked over at each other, and they all had tears streaming down their faces, along with the mascara the carefully applied earlier. The other two guys moved to the back with the girls. The guy with the guitar spoke first.
"I'm Adam." Gail nudged Stacey, giggling. "I'm 19years old and when I grow up I want to be a wrestler. I didn't really run away from home, I just told my mom I wanted to go out for an adventure," he told the girls with a smile. Dawn Marie started to blush. "I'm not trying to make this like an AA meeting, but you know, we're going to be traveling together a lot so we might as well just say it," Adam told the group on the train.
"I'm John Cena. I never had a home, so I don't really know my parents, and the only reason why I am still alive is because of my passion for rap music. I came on this train 'cause I had nothing better to do, but meet a lovely long legged lady." He winked at Stacey when he said his last comment. "I'm here for ya if ya need a cuddle buddy, Stranger." Adam, John, and Mark all laughed, even Gail and Amy managed to sneek in a giggle.
"I refuse to be your cuddle buddy. If you were the last human on earth, and it was so cold out I could die if someone didn't hold me, and you were that last someone, I'd take death," Stacey stated cooly, giving John a look that could kill. With that statement, Stacey got up and went to the front of the train, and stared out the window.
"Hey man," Mark said, resting a hand on John's shoulder, "there's more girls out there....or in here." Amy looked up at John and gave him a smile. Gail and Dawn started to giggle again, taking Amy's hand, the three of them went even further to the back of the train, sitting on comfortable chairs.
"Maybe Stacey should be here too," Dawn suggested after they sat down. "There are four girls ya know, and we are going to be here for a while, she might as well come back here and talk with us," Dawn told the other two.
"She's new though. What if we break the bond the three of us have? We were one of the first people on this train Dawn! We were the first people on this train! Then Gail and Adam came, and then those other three came in!" Amy shouted at Dawn. When the two girls were arguing, Gail left quietly, looking to find Stacey. Once she found Stacey, her head rested on Mark's shoulder with her arm across his mid section. An arm of Mark's was holding Stacey close to him for warmth.
"Adam!" Gail whispered harshley. "Look! Our first couple," Gail whispered in awe.
"Gail, you and I both know, that's not going to last," Adam told the small Asian. "They're too alike. It's like a celeberity relationship, theres a chance it's just not gonna happen. Besides, what if they're just...........What did John say to Stacey he'd be for her?"
"A cuddle buddy," Gail answered Adam, letting out a giggle. "But they're so cute together! I think they could last."
