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. 457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjz6Sd511C
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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEFOtB7DYX
" Somebody not kept their promise? " the worker asked in a thick Cockney accent, Danny looked up at him and slumped his shoulders.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHm2H2QyQJ
" What do you mean? " Danny asked has he took another sip from his tea,457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK5yLj2Ev8
" I mean, did somebody not bother to show up?" , the worker pointed to the empty chair across from Danny.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSf4wixfg5
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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmm3D4jRMa9
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".457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX6k9HKGXe
Danny smiled and nodded at him, " don't be" he said and with that the worker left with his cup.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfKjrbNsr8
Somehow , that conversation had lifted his spirits a little and he checked his phone one last time.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhjANw0JeO
One new message457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrZsP7qEZW
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,457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9YRW4qkYf
I cannot see you anywhere, Danny! I've been waiting here for ages!457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqob46yqbL
"waiting?" he thought out loud. Danny hadn't seen Ben arrive at platform C nor did he see him waiting. He replied,457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIM0OwCbaf
You've been waiting? I've been here for four whole hours and I haven't even seen a glimpse of you!457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Soqo8FGy8
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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uBTEfaacF
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.457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSgNehYBU0
" 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!"457Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5z14gM5rrP
