Jay's Dream- The mountain of memories

[Jason Mills]

As Jay woke up he felt full of excitement and yet nervous for his big day to come, he couldn’t sleep that night with all the exciting thoughts that rushed through his sleepless dreams. Jay woke up earlier before his Mother Michelle; as she was a deep sleeper. So as Jay went into his Mother’s bedroom , he found her deeply asleep as she snored loudly, which made Jay laugh quietly, secretly.  Jay then decided to make him and his Mother breakfast as he walked into the kitchen. When Michelle  came into the room, it was like she was sleepwalking and then Michelle and Jay had breakfast together in silence. Soon Jay freshened up for his new day and got more organised.  Jay wore decent enough clothes that day, he choose  the clothing he had done the day before when he practised his performing. Jay sat in his bedroom and thought and thought about ideas, which he wanted to perform at the theatre. Soon Jay decided to play a character who performs with dancing and dancing out their life to try and survive from the audience killing him with rejection; how he completes this performance successfully is if Jay dances out the performance correctly, showing the people and audience he has talent and skills, and not deserving to die as he shows the people who he really is and what he’s got.   So Jay   then rehearsed in his bedroom very dramatically and acted pure magnificent and yet shocked in his performing character as he tries to sing and dance out from getting killed by the audience and the people who were trying to prove him wrong. As Jay danced he done a turn and widened his arms and legs as he moved his body and closed his eyes and  went with his musical creation. He danced so delicately and sang pure elegantly as he showed and expressed his emotions with his body language of dancing and facial expressions while singing. Suddenly Jay jumped and done a backflip and landed perfectly back on his feet while singing powerfully as he then slid to the ground and put out his hands in front of him and gave a look in an expression much so say ‘this is what I got and I hope you don’t misunderstand’. At that moment Jay’s mother Michelle came into the bedroom and Jay quietly stopped his rehearsing and practised dance as he then helped her with the housework.  A few minutes after they were cleaning together in the kitchen, Jay told his mother that he tried his best as he practised his performing. Michelle smiled when Jay said that and she then said ‘ Jay my son, I think you try so hard and professionally. Your so gifted and talented, that you don’t even realize’. Michelle continued and said ‘if they don’t agree with your audition, don’t give up on your dreams because there is talent for everyone out there, but some people give up easily or have to try and find that hidden talent, but some keep trying to be wannabe’s and have talents which is not their true talent from their skills and character, these people are trying to be things that their not destined to be’. Jay then felt very emotional and thanked his Mother a lot from the advice as he thought of all the successful people having great talents, but getting told lies and being judged by paparazzi and the media on newspapers, from writing negative things about their personal and private lives. Jay felt he wanted to become an example as he wanted to show the world how to become more powerful and in control of their talent and show the paparazzi they lost as the truly talented stars won at heart.  Jay’s mother then wanted to know the times and the organisation for the audition at the  theatre.  Jay told her that it was this afternoon. Michelle grinned, ‘well good luck my son, just try your best, that’s all your expected to do, and really that’s all you can do’. Suddenly there was a knock on the door, Jay quickly went and answered. It was his friend Rose and she was so happy that they both had finished college successfully. Rose felt she was so happy to see Jay that she hugged him instantly, ‘I’m glad we’re still friends’, she said as she hugged him slightly. Jay felt delightful that Rose said that to him because he thought he didn’t have her friendship anymore. Jay had a big smile on his face as he said slowly, ‘me.. too..’.  Rose was interested in music and performing arts. She was talented at instrument and loved to play the guitar. She liked to sing as well, she liked rock music as Rose was a loving person, a very faithful, spiritual person who loved the peace and nature of life around her, Jay imagined her as a peaceful hippie.  Rose and Jay first became friends at a drama school they both attended as children. Rose had bright brown eyes and dark brown hair. Soon Jay asked Rose to come inside as they had deep conversations together. As they stepped inside they both then went upstairs to Jay’s bedroom and he showed Rose his practical performance. Jay at first felt very nervous  and he sort of smiled and kind of laughed and said ‘okay’, as he pointed to the stereo as he  stood in the middle of the bedroom, feeling ready as Rose sat on his bed and watched.  Rose put on the music and Jay got straight into his acting performance. After he done the dancing and singing, his Mother came into the room, Rose lit up a big smile on her face and clapped her hands for Jay, ‘wow Jay, you are truly talented, my friend’.  Jay felt pure delightful and grinned brightly with smiles over the compliment as he then said ‘thank you so much, Rose’, Jay gave her a nice comfortable, friendly hug. This all made Jay full of confidence for the  audition, but was he good enough, he thought to himself. Michelle nodded as she laughed and walked towards the bed and removed the bed sheets  for new  fresh ones. Jay and Rose laughed with embarrassment when  they saw  Michelle nodding  as Jay and Rose were  hugging. Then Jay  and Rose went for a walk together as they both talked about their interests and hobbies and things that made them  both laugh with their young memories. Jay and Rose walked by a peaceful area with no people in sight, all trees and a road and footpaths and yet a big sunshine from the signs of beauty come to life with the sound of birds and winds from nature, which they both loved to feel and see.  Rose smiled with delight as she seen a pathway into the woods  as they both felt and looked very interested.  Jay followed  her as they both walked through the pathway  as they seen a big forest of trees on both side of the direction, this made Jay feel stunned as he imagined the trees spreading out when him and Rose walked further into the unknown. They both could see very big powerful trees and the sunshine rays that went upon the area of the woods, which Jay and Rose found beautiful as they walked towards this light up ahead and Rose ran up to see what it could be with interest. When they both walked through this light it made Jay feel as if it was another transformation of existence  in life, as they both seen a big height from beneath them and seen a big spread out beach ahead towards the distance and they both took a step back  as they both walked because they were very high up on top of a cliff.  As they  both stood near this cliff, they both seen waterfalls falling out of the rocks from the mountains they stood on, Rose was amazed as she smiled, ‘ wow Jay, this is amazing up here’. Jay couldn’t believe what he was seeing from his eyes, but he had to agree it did look all beautiful that thoughts came from Jay’s mind, the wind went through them both and they breathed in all the fresh air and the smell of sea sand as they closed their eyes and thought gloriously with the peace and feelings from the wind that was overwhelming them. Jay thought he could never experience seeing life so heavenly and good, when all he had to do was realize and ‘see’. Soon everything because quiet until Jay then spoke, ‘this is a very beautiful area’, he thought the view of his surroundings were amazing. Jay could see the sunrise going above from beneath  with a yellow colour, the waves of the water and the sound of the sea amazed Jay. Rose then looked at Jay with excitement as she said ‘let’s climb down the cliff together, and try and get to the beach below’. Jay felt surprised, ‘but Rose it’s a very big height and we are upward very high, are you sure? Rose smiled happily with a wide grin on her face as she said ‘ yes of course, it would be fun and some achievement we could remember, as we could think to ourselves, ‘wow we actually done that together’. Jay then thought it all over and he agreed as he took a deep breath and said ‘Okay Rose if you say so’. Rose looked delighted and she wanted to be the first one to climb down the cliff, to Jay it seemed that Rose had no fear what’s so ever. Rose was still smiling with enthusiasm  as she and Jay went climbing down the mountain together.  As Jay was trying to climb down, he grabbed his hands to the rocks quickly and got his grip as he put one foot on this big rock and then the other on the lower rock, and continued doing so all the way down the mountain.   Jay then got too excited and thought he was actually getting good at mountain climbing that he nearly slipped half way down  until Rose caught and grabbed him by the hand and kept him steady and in balance. Rose smiled and kind of laughed when this happened,  ‘don’t worry, Jay it will be fine’. Jay felt kind of scared as he shivered  all over with bad thoughts that he felt he now had the fear of heights until Rose said ‘ trust me your fine Jay, this is the exciting part of the mountain climbing, it’s more chancing your ability to see if you’ll give up easily or not, or if you done mountain climbing ever again you could possible lose the fear of falling  and become faster and better next time’. Jay gave a false smile and said ‘thanks Rose, but it feels more like a battle between life or death with falling or not!’. Rose laughed when he said this. Rose then continued and said ‘well Jay this is more like a goal to defeat your fears within from a positive state of mind, thoughts and to see if you can do things or not, it’s part of the progress of life and living, as I always say Jay, life is a challenge’. ‘But Jay, she continued  ‘feel in your heart and soul that you can do this with me’. Jay sighed as he took another deep breath, ‘Okay Rose, thank you’. And then they both smiled at each other   and continued their climb down the mountain.   Soon they finally got down the mountain cliff fully, Rose acted wild as she ran around the beach with excitement, as she was feeling the sand, ‘this is pure amazing Jay’, she ran towards the water and rocks and felt the splashing waves against her feet. Rose looked like she was compassionate  towards nature and life like these matters, freedom. Jay walked towards the sea of the beach as he put his feet in the water after he took off his shoes and socks, his father shoes. The water made him feel so good from all the sweat and tiredness from going down the high cliff, it made him feel pure soft and fresh from the cold water.  Rose looked over at Jay from the other side of the beach as she smiled at him and shouted over ‘wow it’s amazing with all the nature and peace here’, she said it as she gleefully turned in circles, spreading out her arms, like an embraced  dance. Jay never knew anyone who loved nature and life like Rose did, she loved everything and always seemed to be smiling and making people happy around her, wherever she went. Soon then Rose ran so beautifully across the beach towards Jay, this made his heart leap. He smiled embarrassingly, as his cheeks went pure red on his face.  Rose and Jay suddenly looked at each other as Rose gazed deeply into his eyes as her hair blew with the wind, this made Jay feel shy as he said ‘I love your smile’, Rose walked away smiling, feeling satisfied as she pretended she was getting to much attention from the natures around their surroundings. Rose soon got to the other side of the beach and she took a deep breath as she closed her eyes. She gleamingly looked up at the sky, Jay asked what she was doing, but there was no answer. Suddenly a big light came from the sky above and a big shining ray came upon Rose as she smiled and made movement as all the nature of Autumn leaves and the winds went spinning around her as she moved, Jay had to admit to his feelings that it did look beautiful. Then there was a voice that came from the wind, like the sound from a voice you would hear from a steep tunnel or a baby crying or  even  like a high pitched echo. Rose was trying to move closer to the sound so that she could hear it more clearly as she said ‘Jay, I can hear the wind’, Rose’s expression looked delightful. Rose then continued and said ‘but, I don’t understand’. Jay interrupted and said ‘yes Rose, it’s the wind, there is no  interpreted understanding’.  Rose looked at Jay as she felt surprised and disappointed, ‘of course there is, Jay everything in the world has a spirit, and everything has a meaning and a name’.  Jay smiled and said ‘maybe’, Rose then grabbed Jay’s hand tight and said ‘come on, let’s  go over there’, as she pointed ahead near this river edge.  As they ran it was very warm and breezy and the way Rose’s hair blew everywhere as she ran and as she smiled looking directly ahead, to Jay he felt it was the most beautiful smile he ever came upon in his life. They then ran and reached the top of the river edge. Which was full of sand and green grass around them and there was waterfalls on the side of the rocks. Rose smiled with excitement and said ‘let’s jump’, Jay looked shocked and said ‘are you serious?’, and Rose nodded approvingly and said ‘yes of course’, she then moved her hips and moved elegantly back like a movement of a musical dancer, she then ran so fast and dived down the mountain top. Jay shouted, ‘Rose no!!’. He then gazed down below and seen Rose diving down towards the sea, Jay thought Rose’s body looked so slim  as she dived, he seen the waterfall on the dies of the mountain as Rose was in the middle as she reached the water, she was like a dolphin swimming at sea. Jay was so stunned as he sighed and thought to himself ‘I hope Rose is okay, well of course she’s okay, she has no fear in anything towards life’. Rose then rised from the water and moved her hair away from her face and shouted above to Jay ‘come on jump in!’. Jay sighed again and took a deep breath and moved back, and then he started to run forward and as he ran he tripped when he was about to jump an when he fell down the height of the mountain, he was spinning in a circular form, like a summersault as he landed in the water like a nuclear bomb explosion. Rose then put her hand up to cover her face as she tried her best to stop the laughter over Jay’s accidental fall scene. Jay was in shock and then looked at Rose as he rolled his eyes in annoyance when he caught her secretly laughing at him. Rose smiled and got out of the water at shore and there was a forest in the background from where she stood standing. It was like a lost Island around them.  Jay suddenly felt breathless from the fright of falling down such a mighty height, but when he seen Rose standing there watching so peacefully and yet beautifully,  it made Jay forget his fear as he had an ache in his stomach from a loving feeling.  Rose walked towards Jay and took his hand as she pulled him up, out of the water and they both gazed at each other as the Autumn leaves from nature, that surrounded Rose suddenly left her distance as Jay was there to comfort her in person. Jay thought Rose was like an angel from heaven because to Jay it seemed she was the most beautiful, young woman he had as a friend, but yet Jay didn’t realize that his attraction for Rose was in a friendship connection, but he still believed Rose was the biggest beauty for a girl in this world he lived upon!
