The Dream

~Mitch's dream~

I stood starring across the plains. The yellow grass rubbing against my ankles. The trees had grey bark but orange flesh. The leaves the same yellowish color as the grass. But something was off about this world. Everything was square.

I walked forward the grass seeming to grab at me pulling me back but I kept walking. Something was bringing me to this spot. I climbed up a small hill and stood looking at the stream below. Then I turned. Hiding behind a tree a few feet to my right was a fluffy creature. A bear maybe.

"Hello?" I called. And I was startled when it talked back.

"Mitch?" It asked. My eyes widened.

"How do you know my name?" I asked the fluffy creature as it emerged from behind the tree. It was wearing a suit and dress shoes. Defiantly not a bear.

"It's me" he finally spoke "Jerome" My heart started beating I wanted to hug him and I wanted to punch him. But I couldn't move, I was frozen.

"Mitch," he spoke "I don't care what you do with your life I'm not someone who can change that. But I'm here because I need to show you what you have done to the people who care about you."

He grabbed my hand and I closed my eyes. "Open" he said.

I was standing in my kitchen, watching, as past me was fighting with my sister. I remember this. I told her I never wanted to see her again the day she left for collage. She only came to visit when I wasn't home. I haven't seen her since this moment.

Tears filled my eyes as Jerome held my hand again. I shut my teary eyes and I felt the wind through my hair. Jerome squeezed my hand and I opened my eyes.

I was at Skyler's house. Me and Skyler were sitting on the couch and she was talking to me about school. I listened.

(M=Mitch s=Skyler)

S- I just wanted to talk to you about school Mitch.

M- Why?

S- It's just the principal knows you in a way that's not something to be proud of. You get in trouble alot.

M-I don't want to talk about it.

S- But Mitch you really need to...

M- I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!

'Im turning into Dad' I thought.

I stood up and stormed out of the house.

Skyler sat on the couch crying.

Jerome grabbed my hand and well... You know the routine. The next place was at school. The fight I had with Jerome on the first day of school. When I held him against the wall. Avery was hugging Skyler and I noticed for the first time, Jerome was smiling. He had liked me since he first saw me!

I looked at him and he smiled.

As Jerome grabbed my hand I took one more look at Skyler in Avery's arms. Then closed my eyes.

The final place was just down the hall in the school lobby. The fight yesterday. Once again Skyler was crying in Avery's arms and Jerome was on the ground against the wall tears in his eyes. Me standing in the middle of it all. I could see the fire burning in my eyes. And for some reason I couldn't remember why I was so mad. Not only had I hurt Jerome but Avery and Skyler too.

Turned to Jerome looking at him with sorrow in my eyes. "I'm sorry" I said "For everything" he smiled "Dont tell me." He said "Tell them" he grabbed my hand one final time and we were back on the plains. Jerome stood in front of me, and handed me some apples. Eat up your hungry. He gestured up. I looked above his head to see hearts and chicken legs. 9 of each. His were full mine were half empty.

Or half full depending on how you want to look at it.

Me and Jerome sat in the soft grass "Where are we" I muttered between bites of my apple. "This is Minecraft" Jerome answered. Grabbing some bread. "This is what you and real life Jerome do for the rest of your lives. It's a video game. You ever heard of YouTube?"

"Yea" I answered.

"We'll you and Jerome make a YouTube channel and play this game for the rest of your lives it's your job." He responded.

I took a glance around the world. It was peaceful I could see why anyone would want to stay here.

"Are you ready to go back?" Jerome said standing up." I stood with him and nodded. "Do you know what your going to do?"

I shook my head slightly "No," I responded "But I'll figure it out"

He smiled, "I trust you" and he grabbed my hand and I opened my eyes to see I was in a hospital bed. It was empty besides the flowers and balloons. A card lay on the table. I picked it up and read it. It was from Jerome. I knew what I was going to do.
