"You got big dreams Kid
Are you prepared to pay the price?
You can do it Benson One more...Push it..
I could feel the burn I could feel the sweat pouring down. My chest hurt badly each push brought a new wave of fire through my whole body.
205 206 207
Right now is where you start to pay
208 209
Deep Breath hold it in lower the bar let the breath out. Don't think Benson just push it let the music pump you up.
I listened to the inner voice closing my eyes leaving my worries behind me letting the music get inside of me.
Music played from the speakers as I pushed the bar back up grunting.
It's going down tonight
I'm yelling timber
210 211 212
In blood sweat and tears
213 214 215
If people back in Seattle Washington could only see me now they would never have a clue it was me.
220 221 222
Benson rest
Slowly I released the weight back on the machine flexing my arms sitting up.
I let out a sigh of relief as my trainer Breslin handed me a water bottle.
Great workout Benson
I gulped down the cool refreshing water as I tried to catch my breath.
Great job man but it's quitting time
I shock out the last cramps getting up heading with him to the locker rooms.
It was only shortly after 1 pm on a Friday so the gym was only lightly filled mainly with elderly members or young people on breaks.
Wanna grab a slice Benson?
Sure sounds great I'm slightly hungry think I worked up an appetite
Cool cool man lets shower and head out
Stripping down I felt the cool air hit my glistening sweaty body sending chills up through me.
Hurrying into the shower I felt the dirty sweaty feeling being washed away as I scrubbed and rinsed.
My fingers grabbed my right bulge on my arm smiling as I felt the muscles relax under the tender touch of my skin.
Your getting quite the muscles there young man
I felt my face flush as Res joked.
Not too bad from the nerdy little boys we use to be huh?
Nah man not bad at all
After drying off we quickly dressed and went out to the brilliant sunshine.
One thing I was loving about moving out here was the constant sunshine.
Beautiful out here huh Freddie?
Absolutely man always loved this weather didn't see much of this shite in Ireland man it's always raining in that place.
Damn man I can't believe in two days we are going to be juniors in Hollywood Arts!
Res pumped his fist as we strolled down the boardwalk.
I know Res but man it feels like the summer just flew by
Walking body to body was the only way to manure down the busy boardwalk people were rushing to lunch or to meetings tourists were rushing from attraction to attractions taking pictures and gasping at the wonder of it all.
The mix of people was amazing men and woman in business suits on cell phones racing to offices and coffee shops parents with kids in toe snapping pictures in wide eyed wonder at the giant ferris wheel just wait till nighttime kid I thought smiling.
Biker and surfer dudes, teenagers, little kids skating and biking the city of downtown Santa Monica was filled we walked past the shops like Urth Cafe World cafe Starbucks all a feet away from each other.
Walking up the ramp to the Santa Monica pier which was just as busy with people shopping walking dogs, fishing, jogging and plenty of street performers.
We stopped to listen to a few some were really amazing.
Moving along we continued down towards our favorite pizza shop on the boardwalk.
Just as we approached the shop a burst of applause caught our attention.
What's going on?
I don't know Res
We searched till we saw out of the corner of our eyes a group standing surrounding something or someone. Music played I looked at Res he shrugged mouthing.
Let's Go!
I followed him racing to the scene pushing our way to the front the crowd was swaying I gasped as I came forward.
It's her Res!
He elbowed me as if to say I know bro I know I turned to him as he winked grinning.
In front of us stood the most amazing girl I had ever laid eyes on.
She had the most amazing dazzling smile the sweetest laugh.
She was dancing up a storm with two friends they moved with such grace and they really brought out the lyrics to the song.
I was memorized by watching her dizzy from being so close but not being able to touch. I had to get to know her. I didn't know her last name only her first name.
It's her Res it's really her
He stared at me rolling his eyes like oh my god he's fan-boying.
I couldn't help it I mean when you see true beauty it's breathtaking mind numbing...
It makes you forget everything else who you are what you stand for all you can do is stand there and stare while the beauty dances in front of your eyes.
To dance is to reach for a word that doesn't exist,
To sing the heartsong of a thousand generations,
To feel the meaning of a moment in time.
Her words came back to me it's what she said to me when I first saw her dancing on the yard at school two years ago when we went for the auditions.
She was so full of passion for her craft she was so determined she was going to get in it's what she lived for, she knew she had the talent she just wanted the chance to perfect it and by the looks and the sounds of it she must have been given that chance.
As I recalled those words I also recalled what I said to her after.
How do you know you won't end up heart broken?
She looked at me strangely and giggled before saying.
Life is full of heartbreaks it's up to us to chose how we respond I will never let anything stop me from believing and I know if I believe I can achieve.
Will never get anywhere by quiting from fear my daddy always said.
Quitters never win and winners never quit
Maybe I didn't have a dad to teach me that lessons growing up maybe my mom was a little cray and over protected but I wasn't too sheltered to understand that sometimes you have to learn from listening and watching others.
I wouldn't quit I would get to know her everything about her was beautiful to me even the sound of her name.
