Brendan.
“Madison?” Brendan said, his voice firm – pulling her
attention back.
“Huh?” she croaked, confused. Her body swayed a little as
her mind swarm, she turned back around to face Brendan. His face was creased
with a frown, his eyes narrowed towards Madison as he watched her expression -
searching for answers in her eyes. Disbelieve and panic clouded Madison
expression, she gazed a Brendan but looked through him rather than at him.
“Madison?” he
repeated again, a lot more firmly this time – almost frustrated.
“Sorry…” she murmured, blinking several times to awaken
herself from her haziness.
Madison attention drifted back round to the open doors of
the Underground. She needed to know what she had seen was real or whether it
had just been a figment of her imagination, probably a side effect of the
damage Phil had caused tonight. Madison’s eyes met the empty space where the
two boys had stood, she scanned the area but the room was now empty. It would
have been impossible for the two boys to leave the building without Madison
noticing, both her and Brendan had remained at the only exit. She turned back
to Brendan, unconsciously shooting him a worried look. Brendan picked up on her
concern, but remained silent. He gestured to the open car door with him eyes,
watching Madison awkwardly. He smiled faintly, his crystal blue eyes shining
brightly in the dimly lit street. His eyes had lost the curiosity he once had
for Madison, now he was frustrated and willing Madison to go. Sensing his
frustration, Madison slowly slid into the warm back seat of the taxi. She
remained confused and worried about what she had just seen, mentioning it to
Brendan who didn’t seem to notice the two boys would only confirm what she had
seen was not real and that she was almost definitely going crazy. Madison
couldn’t help but feel slightly sad and disappointment that her time with
Brendan was now over. The confusion of what she had just seen disappeared as
she realised this was her goodbye.
“It was nice meeting you, Madison” he said through the open
door of the taxi, one arm rested on the open door and the other lent on the
roof of the car. His perfect features were calmer now and more genuine then
before.
“You too…bye” was all that Madison could manage.
“See you around” Brendan said softly, slamming the car door
shut.
Madison wondered for a moment whether she would see
Brendan around , before realising that London was a large city and the
likeliness of her running into him again was extremely low. Not to mention the
fact that she didn’t know where she was going to live or how he would find her,
he hadn’t even asked for her mobile number. Behind the tinted glass of the taxi, Brendan’s eyes remained confident
and a part of Madison couldn’t help but buy into that. As the taxi pulled away
from the pavement, Madison and Brendan kept eye contact until he was out of
sight.
“Where too, miss?” the taxi driver asked in a husky voice.
Madison thought for a moment, realising that she hadn’t
planned this far ahead. She knew she wanted to come to London, but what she
would do or where she would go now that she was here remained a mystery. For
now, a travel lodge seemed the most feasible option, and to look for something
more permanent tomorrow along with a job.
“The nearest travel lodge” she said strapping the seat belt
on firmly and gazing back out the window.
The two sets of black hollow eyes haunted Madison thoughts.
The ghostly expressions of the two boys floated around her head like a
nightmare that she couldn’t awake from. As her brain mudded over every instance
that had occurred tonight, her subconscious kick-started and began to rationalize
with her with what she had actually seen. She had been under a lot of
stress? Phil had struck her, maybe she was suffering slightly from concussion?
The lights in the train terminal may have caused a shadow from the two boy’s
hoods causing
