Glum's life- Chapter two


All I saw was red cups, hands in the air and sweaty bodies everywhere...so please don't try to proclaim Miley Cyrus wasn't right, the song is pure true. Anyway, it was so hot in this place, it was like somebody sucked all the air, I couldn't breathe. The sweaty bodies started to move really slowly, everything was blurred and the music was like underwater. I felt terribly. I just had to get out of this place. I started to push away all the bodies, and I made my way through the crowd. 

Suddenly I was outside, and the house of Tucker's parents was so far already. It was like small distance dot. Instead of loud music a started to hear crickets, grass in the wind and the sounds of night. It was windy, and I realized I'm shivering with cold. I stopped before a big forest. I never noticed it was so near Tucker's house. I had no idea what I was doing there, but I all of a sudden got the feeling I had to go there. So I went. Or maybe I ran. I don't know for sure. My feet stopped, when I got at the end of forest. There was a rocky escarpment. Further, maybe 50 metres down there was another forest unfolding as far as I could see. It was dark night, but still the stars was shining a lot. I was breathing fast, I felt confused. Why am I here? And HOW I got here? 

I was standing there, between trees, hidden in the bushes, when I heard a familiar voice. I couldn't assign it to the face, until I saw him. Nathan appeared from nowhere, and he was talking to someone over the phone...''Maybe it was not that good idea. Sorry Rebecca, but I had to leave, I couldn't stand it in there. ...OK than, maybe we should brake up! ...I can't talk about this now, I'm really tired. ...Fine.Bye.'' I know I should think about more important things like: What the hell is he doing here?...but all I had on my mind was: Did he just brake up with Rebecca? He did! What?!...I guess I was too drunk and tired to think. He went straight to the edge of escarpment, and maybe 6 metres from the very edge he started to run. I wanted to shout at him to stop it, but it was too late. He ran directly into the void and fell. I was watching it with horror in my eyes. I don't know how long it took, how long I've been standing there, but out of the blue he was there. He looked pretty alive. Actually, he was too much alive for someone, who had just fell from a cliff....HE WAS FLOATING IN THE AIR, OR FLYING?! Than I saw it. A pair of huge white wings. WINGS! I couldn't believe my eyes. I stared at him with open mouth. Again. The wings was so perfect, soft and shiny, almost bigger than he was. He looked like angel from heaven. Than he swung his wings and flew away beyond the stars. I watched him until he was gone, and few minutes later I finally realized I can move. I turned back and I went to Tucker's house. But I couldn't get it out of my head. I could still see him flying like it was totally normal. How could he fly? What was it?!
