The Jump

A/N: I was trying to make something in first person and put you in a situation. I'm not sure if I succeeded or not, but here goes anyway :) Comments would be appreciated and loved <3 So.... Tell me watcha think! :)

One step.

Two steps.

Three steps.

I ran like there was no tomorrow.

Inhale.

Exhale.

I took a deep breath, feeling the wind in my hair, the harsh sun in my face.

I looked at the scene quickly passing before me.

Green. Brown. Blue.

Trees. Sand. Sky and water.

I stopped.

Just before I reached the end of the cliff.

My heart pounded in my chest and I looked at the waters below me.

It was a deep ocean blue color.

The waves crashed angrily against the cliff side and I inhaled deeply again.

My nostrils were filled with the scent of the ocean - that distinct smell . A little salty.

I missed the feeling it gave me.

Freedom.  Varying happiness and melancholy.

I backed up a few steps; changing my mind for a second, but I pushed it away.

There was this strong pull from the waves that didn’t stop crashing on the rocks beneath me.

I needed this.

I heard the muted voices of my friends calling my name so I backed up and ran.

And when I didn't know it was in me, I jumped!

I felt the ground leave my feet and I was in the air.

I felt the wind in my hair, surrounding me, its scent engulfing me, carrying me over the water.

I moved my body into a dive and I inhaled, filling my lungs until I couldn’t take in anymore.

I just stared at the clear water that was getting clearer and clearer the closer I got to the water with the beat of my heart strongly pounding in my chest.

Then it happened.

I felt it.

My hands quickly pierced through the surface of the water;

cooling my face, torso then swallowing me whole.

I felt fresher, lighter, as it surrounded my heated and excited body.

I relaxed and let myself sink deeper and deeper and deeper.

I closed my eyes to just... feel.

I let the waves rock me, almost lulling me to sleep;

maybe I was just running out of oxygen, I didn’t know.

Feeling light headed and the harsh burn in my lungs, I rushed to the surface of the water and broke free.

I sat up breathing heavily.

I panicked and quickly gulped down air, filling my deprived lungs. 

I was panting like I just ran a marathon. 

I was breathing hard like I did something extreme, like I  went cliff diving.

I looked around then realized where I was.

I smiled to my self and fell back onto my bed once again.

It was all a dream.
