Jess was hiding under the bed. It was storming outside. She hears her adopted mom screaming in the other room
Mom: No stop please!
Her adopted dad was beating her. He finally stops and leaves the room then starts heading to Jess's
Mom: Leave her alone!
Dad: Shut your mouth bitch!
He opens the door and walks in the room
Dad: I know where you're hiding
He walks over to the bed. She covers her mouth and begins to shake as tears stream down her face
Michael wakes up from hearing Jess cry in her sleep. He put his hand on her cheek and wipes the tears off
Michael *whispering* It's going to be okay Jess
She hears Michael's voice
Michael *whispering* close your eyes, count to three, then open them
She closes them
Jess *whispering* one... two...
Dad: I wonder whose under the bed
Jess*whispering* Three
She opens her eyes and is looking up into the sky, at the moon
Michael: Hey
She looks and sees Michael laying next to her
Jess: Hey...what's going on?
Michael: You were having a bad dream so I'm making you a good one
He gets up then helps her up
Michael: Come on
Jess: Where are we going?
He points up. She looks up then at him
Jess: Are you going to fly me up there?
He smirks
Michael: WE'RE going to fly up there
She gives him a confused look then sees wings come out from behind her. She quickly looks at him
Jess: Oh my god
She quickly covers her mouth. He smiles
Michael: You're safe to say it in here
Jess: Am I an angel like you?
Michael: What do you think?
She looks at her wings
Jess: They're beautiful
He smiles and grabs her hands. She looks back at him
Michael: Hang on tight
She grabs his hands tightly. They fly up into the sky
Jess: Oh shit!
She quickly grabs onto him
Michael: Don't worry I got you
He wraps his arms around her and flies higher
Michael: Look
She looks back and sees the clouds. The moon was shining bright at them. She looks at him
Michael: Ready to fly?
Jess: I don't know if I can do it
Michael: Do you trust me?
Jess: Of course I do
He smiles
Michael: Good...now fly
He lets go of her. She starts falling down while screaming. He follows
Jess: You asshole! I didn't think you'd let go!
He shrugs and smiles
Jess: Michael I can't!
Michael: Yes you can! I believe in you!
She sees herself getting close to the ground so she closes her eyes. She suddenly stops. She opens her eyes, looking right at the ground. She looks back and sees Michael holding onto her
Michael: That was close
Jess: I panicked
Michael: It's okay. No one gets it right the first time
Jess: Can we try again?
Michael: Of course
He files back into the sky, still holding onto her. He stops then turns her around so she's facing him
Michael: Concentrate. Don't focus on the gravity
She nods
Jess: Alright
Michael: I'll be right behind you
He lets go of her again. She's diving straight down this time. Michael's flying down next to her. She concentrates and her wings flap. She stops in the air. Michael passes her then quickly stops and flies over to her
Jess: I'm doing it! I'm actually flying!
He lightly claps then sticks his hand out to her
Michael: Shall we fly?
She smiles and takes his hand
Jess: Yes we shall
They start flying in the clouds while holding each other's hands. They go down to the ocean and fly above it. She looks down and touches the water with her other hand then splashes him
Michael: Hey!
He splashes her back and laughs. She splashes him again but with more water, making him spit it out. He pulls her to him and they both fall in the water. They reach the surface and laugh. They had their arms around each other. They look in each other's eyes as their heads start leaning in
*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*
