Im not exactly sure how much I walked that night but I somehow made it to the train station. I took the 4:00AM train to Canton. From there I would have to get to the state line between Ohio and Pennsylvania. I would have to find a way to get to Butler so I could get to the next train station. Then when I would get let off near Lewisburg I would have to wing it when I got there. I am still thankful that I had that fake ID made when I was a Sophmore. I grew weary and I fell asleep. ________________________________________________________________
"Sir, Its your stop." A voice said. Apparently we had arrived. I rubbed my eyes and said thank you. I grabbed my stuff and left the station. Now I just had to get to the state boarder. I decided to take a bus. I had to walk a good 10 miles to get to a bus stop, though.

It was now 8 at night. I needed a place to stay for the night. I stopped at the rest stop and went up to one of the people who worked there.
"Excuse me," I said. The man turned around. He looked young. Probably early 20s'. "Im looking for a hotel to stay in nearby. Do you--"
"There is a Hampton Inn about 20 miles from here but thats the closest one."
"Thank you," I replied. Looks like I had quite a lot of walking to do. I left the rest stop and made it out of the parking lot when the man drove up to me.
"Looks like you could use a ride," He said. I was reluctant to agree but I did. "So, the Hampton?" He asked.
I nodded.
"Im Bryce. Bryce West."
"Im Blaine Anderson."
"Well nice to meet you Blaine Anderson. So what are you doing in the state of Pennsylavania with no means of transportation?" He had a country accent and I just realized it.
"Its a long story." I replied.
"Well its a semi-long drive."
"I have to get to New York. Its kinda urgent. Its relationship troubles."
"Ah. I see. Which one of you cheated?" "I did, but it meant nothing. I needed him and he wasnt there."
"Ah, so its a 'he'. Handsome?"
"Gorgeous. His name is Kurt." "Well all of that is amazing but that still doesnt explain your lack of transportation."
"I ran away. I guess trying to get Kurt back is the first step of my journey."
"Wow. So where did you start off?"
"Lima, Ohio. This morning."
"You've made it far in a short period of time."
"It doesn't really feel like it. But it seems like time has stood still for quite a while lately.
