Three hours had been and ten trains had made it to platform C but there was no sign of Danny's childhood friend. Had it all been a joke to Ben? Danny sighed and checked his phone to see if Ben had left a message on why he was running late but of course, there were no new messages nor phone calls. He stretched his legs and got up from the bench, took a quick look around the surrounding area and sighed once again. It was now 10:00 am and the station was filled with the usual racket of chatter and suitcases being wheeled against the newly polished floor. Danny slowly started to make his way towards the station's café as his stomach was starting to growl at him. 475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnwJNBkeAS
Sipping his tea, Danny constantly looked out the window on to the platform to hopefully catch a glimpse of Ben but there was never luck. The worker that had served Danny his tea walked up to where he was sitting and offered him a refill but he declined.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeHJmyj1et
" Somebody not kept their promise? " the worker asked in a thick Cockney accent, Danny looked up at him and slumped his shoulders.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefgEzJU5X8
" What do you mean? " Danny asked has he took another sip from his tea,475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IFaKMlT37
" I mean, did somebody not bother to show up?" , the worker pointed to the empty chair across from Danny.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72Towl9mIF
Danny sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, " I wouldn't say he didn't bother to, it's just-" , his voice trailed off and he turned to look out the window once more.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1B0P8HEnc
The man chuckled and picked up Danny's empty cup , " I'm sure whomever you're waiting for will show up soon. I see so many sad faces during my time working here and I just knew that there was something wrong" , he took a look at Danny's cup , " Danny, is it? Well, Danny, if he doesn't show up, I'm sorry".475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8svxyZ3TfL
Danny smiled and nodded at him, " don't be" he said and with that the worker left with his cup.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHUXlF17fh
Somehow , that conversation had lifted his spirits a little and he checked his phone one last time.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpUTJt3SIs
One new message475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa47vX1wUDs
Danny's heart leaped out of his chest as he clicked on his inbox. It was Ben. Ben had messaged him. He clicked on his message and Ben's smiling face appeared on the screen. He started to read the message,475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5opwL2NNV
I cannot see you anywhere, Danny! I've been waiting here for ages!475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeFmwa3UKV
"waiting?" he thought out loud. Danny hadn't seen Ben arrive at platform C nor did he see him waiting. He replied,475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtG8TLuFeON
You've been waiting? I've been here for four whole hours and I haven't even seen a glimpse of you!475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpvvtUKTrC
He pushed his phone back into his pocket and got up, nodded at the worker and headed out of the café. Ben had been waiting all this time? He couldn't have, could he? Danny hadn't seen him at all whilst he was at the platform. He started walking back to platform C just in case Ben was there and something caught his eye. A huge crowd of people was gathered on the platform, waving papers around.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSxvVd4TQO
What's going on here? Danny thought and just as he was about to walk towards the crowd a familiar face appeared from the middle of the people and it light up.475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNuYmrtsa4
" Danny! It's Ben!" he laughed as he pushed from the crowd and ran towards Danny, squeezing him in a tight embrace, "I thought you weren't going to show up!"475Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCgVZ6qTNr
