Chapter four; Journey to Wales.
Dedicated to S_star, Traci Duncan and Alana Lee who have given me such great reviews.
Barney had changed a great deal from the light blond haired, blue eyed, angelic looking boy he had been last year. His hair had darkened considerably so it was a dirty brown and he had grown and filled out until he was almost as tall as Jane, but far broader, dwarfing her slim frame. Simon was now taller than Will, with a stern but friendly face that could easily burst out in gales of boyish laughter. His hair was as dark as Jane's but his eyes were hazel now, with grey specks.
As they drew near, Jane dropped her bag she had snatched back from Will as they had spotted her brothers, her blush only just dying down. Brothers and sister hugged for a long time as they now spent a great deal of time apart, more than they were used to or liked as Jane was now in her third year at boarding school, Barney only in his first. Simon drew away first and, looking over the other's head he smiled at Will. With a twinkle in his eye he stuck his hand out at the boy he had so resented last year. Will smile, acknowledging the message and the gesture, the two shook warmly before Barney drew away and also shook with Will.
Over the station intercom crackled a woman's voice
"Early train 10:13 to Aberdyfi." Will picked up his bag and Jane's, a gesture that did not go unnoticed by Simon or Barney.
"That's us." Jane said, painfully oblivious to the looks that were passing between her brothers as they walked to the platform and boarded the train.
* I know it isn't long but I promise I will update again soon, just S_Star was moaning at me to get another up. So here you are…*
