Jake:

Everyday... god sends his angels to us, to help guide us through the hardships of life. You don't see them with wings or halos, or harps... they come in a different form, they are called friends.

My angel's name is Mason. He is my best friend, we both look almost nothing alike, but that's alright. Different is good.
-----------------------------------------------------

There is a reason why I, Jake Alton, is not the the beautiful city, with paved roads and warm houses and beautiful churches on every corner across from a grocery market. It's those dang churches. My planet is super religious. Like so religious, I'm not even aloud to wear the skinny jeans I bought from Target last week. This is Norsett for you, everything is all about religion from what you eat to how to dress and everything in between.

Mason and I are in nature right now, enjoying god from nature. Actually that was a lie, I could feel it as I said it.... Mason isn't from my planet, he comes from Malison, that's why he looks so different from me, he has golden hair, while I have dark brown, so dark it's almost black. Nobody else really notices Mason but me... it's like he isn't even there, my parents never hear him when he sneaks through my window to hang out with me, nobody notices or talks to him at school. He must feel so invisible.

Mason looks different from me, it makes me forget that although we are a lot of alike, he is different then what I am use to. He makes me forget all about my life back home and the mistakes I make daily that cost me everything.

We are hiking along a trail to somewhere we have never been before, which is hard considering we run off into the mountains a lot to explore, dirt and pebbles falls under our feet as we go exploring. The trail is winding through the trees and bush, we cut our way through to create a path, cause no one on my planet hikes to explores. Except us two. Us two friend... hiking together and exploring.

"So Jake." Mason says as he slashes at a bush with his knife. "What adventures await us?"

"I don't know." I say as I help he slash at the bush until we can get by it. "I want to try and get high enough to see the sunlight, since... I've never seen it before."

I can hear the choirs singing in the churches and congregations back in my town a mile away. I should be there singing with them, but I am not... I am considered a sinner among them, and I wanted a break from being told to repent of my ways or else I will burn. Secretly, I like the feel of Fire, so o think their underworld is my heaven.

I wipe my brown bangs from my sweaty forehead and continue to slice through bushes to make a path, Mason holds my bag as I slice, we make our way to a clearing and we pause, and take in the view.

We are here, the top of the mountain. We see an open field framed with trees, the grass is so peaceful as it sways in the breeze, it's not tall, about to my knees. The green coloring is remarkable as the tips of sunlight hit the grass, but I still can't see the actual sun because of how tall the trees are.

The butterflies and bees dance with dragonflies as they pollinate the rainbow flowers. There is no sunlight to compliment them, there is never any sunlight for me to see, unless I were climb super high to see it.

I have never seen sunlight touching my skin before. I do have dreams where I am in the sun... those are amazing. They are my favorite dreams I write down in my journal back home. I can just imagine the writing on the pages:

Dear Jake Alton,

Today is going to be an amazing day, and here is why:
You dreamed about sunlight again last night, don't worry. When you turn fourteen in four years you and Mason can leave this stupid planet and go to a place without religion to bind you down from having fun. A place like Malison full of opportunities. There you can see the sun everyday and climb all the tree... just 1,460 more days till you can leave.... so make this a great day as you continue the countdown.

Sincerely me,
Jake Alton (age 10)

Mason and I choose a spot under a big oak tree and sit against the trunk on either side and sing songs from our favorite rock bands that are banned by my church, but we sing along on Mason's iPod he gave me. It's feels like we sing forever as the sun fades leaving us in almost darkness.

I look at where I guess the sunlight is coming from and sigh, I'll never get to see it. I will always just be in the state of darkness and confusion with this belief that my parents have about what happens after I die. I just want to see the light and know what will happen. And know that....Everything is going to be alright....

Mason stands up and I follow him, we walk for a while through the grass and talk about life, just the normal casual stuff. There is nothing I would hide from my best friend.

We talk about girls at school we wish would talk to us, how we are going to get good grades in three weeks, I am thinking about dropping out since I'm failing anyways, why continue? We laugh and create new inside jokes. Mason talk about learning to fight like the great warriors we see when invaders attack our planets, these warriors are called Zodiac Rangers. Mason is a Zodiac Ranger in training, he is so close to being the real thing. I am jealous he gets to do what he wants.

There is hope in our words... like we know life will be alright soon. The mention of sunlight comes up through my mind again. I say it out loud.

"I want to see the sunlight." I say.

Mason look at me, he doesn't say anything, this is unusual for him. There is nothing we can't discuss. He usually replies right away.

"This place is so peaceful, there is nowhere else I would ever want to be except in nature with you." Mason says to me.

"Same." I laugh.

We just walk... and talk... just us two.

The view is remarkable, no sunlight, but blue skies, all shadows around us, and clouds in the heavens above. The world is spinning a million miles below us and we stand so peaceful on the surface. I still wish I could see the sunlight, like in my dreams. That would be the perfect day, when I climb to the top of the world and see the sunlight.

Then Mason starts running, racing to the tallest tree. He is about fifty feet ahead of me when he turns back to me and yells: "Follow me Jake!"

I run after him through the talk green grass, through the far field, I wonder how my world I am so familiar with will look up at the sky. I climb after him up the tree, one foot after another and my hands reach from one branch then to another, I'm short so Mason tells me where to grab as the branches get further apart and thinner. I climb higher and higher up the tree till we are at the top.

I open my eyes and the sun is shinning on my face. I can see the beams of golden rays and it's remarkable and so warm, like the fire I love so dearly, I could just cry from the beauty of this. The sunlight pours from a circle in the sky like a waterfall sending ripples across the sky, traveling thousands of miles just to see my eyes. My hands cast a shadow against the trunk as the light it's it. The rays are hot against my hand and body, but the heat feels so amazing against my pale skin.

"Mason...." I feel tears coming through my eyes. "It's so beautiful."

Mason put his hand on my shoulder and smiles at me, the sunlight hits his face too, I am so thankful he showed me this. I never could of imagined what the sun would look like from so high. I hug him and let tears of happiness fall.

"Thank you." I say to my best friend.

Then I feel the branch break between us and I barely have time to yell before I fall... I feel like my arms grabbed onto nothing as I fell from the majestic sunlight, then I'm on the ground... I can't feel right arm... I look around at the dirt and grass around me, covered in shadow and no sunlight, I look up to see Mason coming down to help me.... he helps me up... he takes me home. Back to the darkness and confusion.

Everything is okay, I will have a cast for a few years, since people from Norsett don't heal as fast as he average person. But everything is okay. I am alive to live and breath another day of people seeking for my repentance as I eat pork.

That memory plays over and over in my head, the trees, the grass, the sunlight and Mason. All together, it was perfect, like the world was perfect and time stopped. I thought I understood the meaning of all this... life... the unveiling of living. But I guess I was wrong.

Mason and I are best friends, for forever. I can't remember a time he wasn't there with me in my room as he listen to CD's of rock music.

All I can think of is the blue sky and the golden sunlight, that majestic sunlight. It was so amazing. The sun burns so bright and everything was just so right. It was so right.

Two friends, true friends, and majestic sunlight.

It was the best day.
