*Someone said it.
"Why don't we just run away from here for a bit?"
It was a joke at first. Leaving behind tomorrow's plans and the place we call home wasn't realistic.
But all four of us were exhausted in one way or another.
The one who was always watching others, supporting them. The one who tried to be strong, hiding her own weakness. The one who hid his true feelings behind laughter. The one who couldn't say anything and just went along with the crowd.
Though the reasons differed, everyone felt the same: "I want to get away from here."
A station at night. The four of us, with our bags packed, board a train we've never taken before.
We haven't decided on a destination.
We're just going to find out what it is we truly want.*
