On the Midnight Train Going Anywhere

Date: 8/20/2021

I was at this house for some kind of baseball game. It wasn't an official game, it was among friends, or maybe a community game. But the homeowner, a mom I knew years ago, was not aware. She came home and I went to hide inside the house because I assumed she would go straight towards the commotion outside, but instead she came into the house and saw me crouching behind the counter. She was furious and screamed at me, and seemed to think I was in charge of organizing the entire event. I didn't even bother to defend myself, just insulted her back and yelled expletives. I then knew I had to leave. I marched outside to the driveway, and my boyfriend was there talking to a couple people. I said we had to leave. Joe at first was going to come with me but then he said he actually wanted to stay there. I told him we legit HAD to leave. He refused to leave. I said okay and left him there. I was feeling upset and abandoned so I got on a random train that I thought was going somewhere in New York. It was crowded despite being in the middle of the night. I saw a girl with kind of a resting bitch face but something felt off about her. I decided to start talking to her, I made a nice lighthearted conversation and it seemed to really lighten her up, she was smiling. Eventually though I saw a very attractive guy with an empty seat next to him and I went over and sat next to him. I started talking to him using the same lines I said to the girl. She was within earshot and seemed to be upset that I said the same thing to this guy, but the guy was unaware and he seemed to be into me. I mentioned to the guy that we were two strangers on the midnight train going anywhere. Eventually this guy and I were kissing and he kissed my neck a little. I felt guilty for cheating on Joe. I checked my phone to see that he had texted me asking if I wanted pizza. I missed him. I texted Joe back saying I was on a train at the moment about to get off. He was very confused and went to meet me. Turns out the train wasn't going to New York, but was actually coming from New York. I got off at a recognized area near where Joe and I live. Joe was there waiting for me. The train was stopped for a long time to make sure that I had everything I needed before it left. I couldn't find my fuzzy black sweater, my favorite sweater, so it must have still been on the train. I had Joe wait for a second while I hopped back on the train. I noticed the guy and the girl that I had talked to were now making out and were all over each other. I did not care about this at all, I continued looking for my sweater, and asked aloud if anyone had seen it. One person told me that guy and girl had it. I went over to them and saw it on the floor of the train by their feet, covered in gunk and gross stuff.
