Random Access Memories

Its early in the morning, and I'm attached to my computer screen watching a random collection of videos as I came across a the most random, one; where a car pulled off at a petrol station in London, the scene its quite tribal, but this particular scene flashed me back to the following:
A bunch of 19 year olds, driving through London making their way to the Gatwick airport. They had already four hours travel behind them and where looking to a couple more, traveling across busy London on a Sunday night.
The road trip contained the perfect elements, three boys, two girls, english grounds and a love triangle, which lead to an emotional trip.
The petrol scene its absolutely irrelevant to the any of the important events that occurred during this road trip. Tough its relevant enough that this video-clip brought me back immediately to this memory:

The humid , not cold but summer chilly air and kept slipping into the car through the slightly opened windows, the same ones that reflected the exciting londoner nightlife, the city lights were just sparking and splashing the glass of the window car, almost like a carrousel would do to your eyes, especially after crossing Convent Garden and some other proper busy London streets, leaving us with the wanting more of it, even tough the thought of stepping outside the car and enjoying it ,was unthinkable, our time was limited, a flight needed to be catch and time couldn't be wasted.
On the late hours of Sunday, the car pulled to aside in order to get the necessary petrol to make it to the airport flight. Departures are always emotional, so maybe thats the reason why this moment stands up in my mind.
Time was enough to refuel , so we stopped, our driver stepped out of the 5 person vehicle and the other two boys followed to refuel their hunger cravings;
Boys re-enter the car , driver and copilot take their seats and so does he.

-See I bought Oreos and this mag, dunno why but, Hey that's bloddy Harry Styles!!!

-He looks so good, who is he with!!!????

- Wait, you think Harry Styles is hot?

- Yes!, look at him!

-Cause' you've been saying an awful lot, I look like him

*silence*

-Can I have an Cookie?

The trip continued with a goodbye playlist, aside from one of the girls, no one was asleep and yet they all were staring at different ways. Not knowing that indeed they all would part different ways, following perhaps each at one they were staring.

*No body said it was easy, its such a shame for us to part...*
Whispered the mellow music in the back of the car, and so the car continued drafting away from that petrol station, somewhere in London.
