You boarded the subway, both of you holding your own bags on your back preparing for who knows what. Dimitri’s home life wasn’t good, your home life wasn’t good, living in Athens was hell, so why not run away? It was probably the best choice for you and Dimitri. You guys had a total of €286.96 in total, having spent €9.00 on two 24 hour tickets. Dimitri and you had been saving up money for a few months now. The subway was dirty and crowded, the musky scent hits your nose as soon as you sit down on the torn up seat, Dimitri by your side. He squeezes your hand, you’re both scared and second guessing. You look around to see babies crying, shady skinheads, druggies, and graffiti that reads “θα σε βρουν.” You look away from all the negative and try to focus on the positive as Dimitri leans his head on your shoulder and closes his eyes, hoping for some rest. You can hear Dimitri whisper to you, but you don’t comprehend what it was as you both drift into a calm sleep.
