Soo this is the second chapter of my story. I know the first was a liitle short, but this one is longer. The song in this chapter is "Long Way Down" (Just like the name of my story ^_^) by One Direction (Yes, I'm a directioner if you would ask (; ). Well, it IS movie based but I'm thinking of adding some book scenes as well. Let me know what you think about it ;)
So I 'm going to study a bit (I've got important tests on Friday and on next Thursday ;P ). And the next chapter is going to take a little longer to write and update, but I hope you won't mind. I'll try to write & update it as fast as I can. :)
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR REVIEWS I HOPE YOU'LL CONTINUE REVIEWING MY STORY :)
Now, enjoy the next chapter of my story !
Chapter Two: I Know You Didn't Come To Apologize
Next day, they all were on the train station. "You need to keep it on yourself, darling, alright?" Their mum told Lucy hanging the card with adress on her coat. "Are you warm enough?" She asked. Lucy nodded, sad that she was leaving her. Their mum came over to Edmund hanging on his jacket that same card. But he seemed not to notice it. He looked past his mother at the poster beside her. The title was saying 'Help the children'.
"If dad were here, he wouldn't let us go." He said, looking away from the poster. "If dad were here, and the war was over we wouldn't go!" Answered him Peter, slightly angry. Edmund looked at him with that same expression. 'Oh, God. I didn't want to make him angry.' Edmund thought to himself. That was true. He really didn't want to make him angry. 'Maybe it is wrong to speak at all?'
"You will isten to your brother, Edmund." His mother told him and got up. She hugged him and was about give him a kiss on the cheek, but he flinched away. She looked at him, maybe disappointed or maybe confused, and just kissed him lightly on his head. Then she came over to Peter and hugged him. He hugged back. "Promise me that you will look out for the others." She told him in his ear. "I promise, mum." Peter answered. "Good man." She smiled and turned to Suzan to hug her. Her oldest daughter clinged to her tightly. "Suzan. Be a big girl." Her mum broke the hug up and backed away. Edmund was looking at this and he was wondering about it all.
We made a fire, Went down in the flames
We sailed an ocean, And drowned in the wave...
She was looking at them for a moment, tears in her eyes. But she shook it off in a while. "Alright. Off you go." She said. The four children grabbed their bags and started walking towards the train. Peter was holding Lucy by her hand and Suzan grabbed Edmund, who was completely angry at her for that. "Hey, get off! I know how to get on the train by myself!" He tried to get his hand away, but Suzan didn't let him. They came over the ticket's cashier just as few soldiers were entering the station. "Tickets" The lady that was checking the tickets said. Peter didn't answered, didn't show the tickets. He was looking at the soldiers. It was obvious that he was hoping to see his father there. Well, if he even was there. "Tickets, please!" The lady nearly screamed. "Give!" Suzan hissed at her older brother and took away the tickets from his hand, smiling at the lady. After examining the tickets, the lady muttered an unkind "Please." and gave the children their tickets back. "Thank you" Peter said a bit confused.
Build a cathedral, but we never prayed,
We had it all , yeah, and we walked away...
They were going through the crowd, passing by the women, elder men and children. Edmund was looking at almost everyone he passed. All of them seemed sad.
Point of no return,
And now it's just too late to turn around.
I try to forgive you,
But I struggle 'cause I don't know how...
Then he heard that Lucy was sobbing. That pissed him off. 'Can't she even for a minute stop being a baby?! She cries all the time!' He turned around only to find Peter put his arms around her smaller ones, hugging her and telling her gently that everything will be alright. And that's what pissed him off even more. 'And why is she always their favourite?! They are always petting over her and leaving me alone to myself only! I hardly remember when they said something nice to me or even held me for more than one minute! Is that ever going to -' He was soon cut off from his thoughts, because Suzan pulled him harder by his hand. He realised that they were getting on the train now, so he hurried over to it. When he finally got in with his siblings, the train was full of children. Every single one of them was waving to their mothers or grandparents or whoever was standing on the train station. Well, everyone but him. He didn't know why, but he hardly feel sad. And he didn't wave.
We built it up so high and now I'm falling,
It's a long way down,
It's a long way down...
In the train, when they were searching for a place to sit, Edmund noticed that Peter was looking at him strangely. But he just let it go. They found some partition, with two other kids inside. They decided to stay here. Peter helped Lucy with her bag. He hesitated a little when Edmund showed up, but, finally, he reached his hand. Edmund backed away and put his bag in the luggage cabin, himself.
After a little while, they were finally seated. Edmund sat near the window, away from his family. Susan and Lucy were sitting near each other on the other side of Edmund and Peter was sitting next to the two cnildren, having a good conversation with them.
We had a mountain, We took it for granted,
We had a spaceship, But we couldn't land it,
We found an island, We got stranded
We had it all, yeah, Who could have planned it?
The night stated in quickly. It was maybe nine or ten in the night. The moon was in a full shape tonight, so it wasn't that dark at all. And there were also all those stars. Edmund was looking out of the window, thinking. 'I don't know. I hate when I'm alone, but I also hate when I'm with them all. When I'm with Peter, with Suzan, with Lucy. They treat me like I'm some trash. They shout at me, they do not wish me around. Especially Peter. He always acts like he's a grownup, but he is not. Sometimes I hate him. He was supposed to be my brother but all he ever does is leaving me alone.' Edmund didn't even notice a single tear that escaped his eye. 'But sometimes I think I still love him. I don't even know why! After all of this I still love him when he doesn't deserve this! And I can't stop! I can't...' He started silently crying. He pulled his knees to his chest, held them and buried his face in his hands.
Point of no return,
And now it's just too late to turn around,
I try to forgive you,
but I'm struggling 'cause I don't know how...
After a long moment he was just slightly sobbing and after a little shorter moment he was asleep. He didn't notice a pair of blue eyes staring at him. He didn't notice...
