Worth the Wait II

After several minutes of the most blessed nothingness Ennis had ever known, suddenly he felt a cool breeze hit his face and a strange, firm strength come to his legs. He opened his eyes and his heart started racing at the sight before him. He was standing on a small hill short distance from the river, he was in Brokeback Mountain.

He couldn’t help but smile wide, he started walking looking down at his feet to watch where he stepped, it was then he noticed . . . first it was just his shoes and clothes; the ones he wore years ago when he was still young. Then, immediately after, he noticed his hands; tight skin and strong muscles.

He took in a deep huff of air and it seemed like it had never been easier to breathe than just then. As he exhaled it all dawned upon him. The reason why he was there, and he was young and how strange it was that this didn’t seem or feel odd to him . . . he had died and wound up at Brokeback.

He kept his calm for a total of two seconds before realization hit him

“JACK!” he shouted as he started running, oh if what he thought was true; then he’d done good in his life.
“JACK!” he kept shouting over and over as he ran with such ease and a lightness that made him feel like a child running towards a fair or something of the like.

When he reached the river he spotted his lover sleeping near their tent, looking young and handsome as the day they met. He had his head propped up on some rocks and his hat resting on his chest.

Ennis ran even faster then, rushing up to kneel beside him then picked him up in his arms.

Jack woke up startled, backing away as a reflex, but then quickly realized who it was. He smiled wide and hugged Ennis as hard as he could. Enniss’ arms were so tight around him he thought his ribs were gonna give way from the pressure, but he didn’t care.

They didn’t say anything, just clung to each other, both trying to hold back their tears.
