The wait

I sit here at the train station, waiting for my parents' train to come.

12:00 am
Where is their train?

1:00 am
They said their train would be here by 10:00 pm!

I pulled into my driveway and got out of the car. They got their bags and followed me in my house. I showed them to their rooms and suggested they get some rest. I then said a simple "Goodnight." To them as I walked to my room down the hall. I sat down on my bed and turned on the news channel, "A train crash had happened at 10:00 pm tonight, killing everyone inside the two trains. Those poor people and their families..." The news person said. I then thought into it a bit more. 10:00 pm train crash? I then remembered, my parents train was supposed to come at 10:00 pm. If those were my parents, then who did I bring home? I then heard my door creak open....
