Gary ran into the train station.
3 minutes.
3 minutes until the love of his life was off to Wick.
he needed to stop her.
Miranda sat on the train. she sighed looking out of the window. "I'm actually going..." she thought of all the good times she'd had in Surrey.
Especially Gary...
Why couldn't things be simple...
"WAIT!" Gary screamed to the train sprinting on the platform. He ran down, desperately looking in all the windows for her.
the train started to move.
he ran faster.
there she was.
"GARY!?" Miranda saw him and stood up.
Gary chased after the train, looking at her desperately. "Don't go!" he shouted.
the train carried on going.
Gary dived off of the end of the platform. He fell and managed to pull himself up as he ran.
His legs burned as he struggled to breathe.
He carried on..
His phone started to ring.
He carried on running after the train, reaching in his pocket for it.
"GARY!? what's going on?" Miranda begged.
"get... off... at... the... next... stop..." he panted before hanging up and running.
by now the train was around the corner.
But he carried on running.
at the next stop;
the stop was a little covered in area behind a few shops.
Gary's face lit up as he ran to it.
he must have run a mile or two.
He reached the platform and just laid on it.
flat on his back; his chest rising and falling desperately for air.
He closed his eyes. wiping all the sweat off of his face; unzipping his jacket.
He just laid there.
"Gary?" Miranda bent down besides him.
His eyes opened slowly to see Miranda leaning over him.
His breathing slowly returned to normal.
"Never run a marathon" he laughed sitting up.
"Why are you here?" Miranda replied.
"I cant let you go... I love you... I cant live without you"
it all came out so fast, he didn't realise he said it at first.
Miranda cupped his cheeks and kissed him.
What little air was in his lungs disappeared as he kissed her with such passion.
They slowly pulled apart.
"Lets go home" Miranda smiled.
Gary just smiled.
He had finally got her...
"Come on" Miranda smiled standing up. she reached her hand out.
Gary grabbed it and pulled himself up. "Blimey, how can you get so stiff so soon" he laughed.
He wrapped his arm around Miranda's shoulder and straightened up his back.
"Shall we get a cab?" Miranda teased.
"Shurrup" Gary laughed kissing her head as they slowly walked towards the town dragging her cases. His arm still wrapped around her shoulder.
He knew he was never going to let her go...
