Growing Up | It's Anything But Simple

Dominic Mason

Location: The Party

Dominic felt in a daze; he didn’t know whether it was adrenaline or his flawed heart trying to maintain balance under the extreme pressure. It was Tas that snapped him out of it, her usual icy ways piercing his thoughts. "Breath," she said quietly as she checked his vitals with the utensils he knew she always carried with her."We need to talk, later. Go see about Nat, I'll clean up your fists later," she said coldly before stepping away from him and putting her things back in her purse. Dom looked down and saw his hands covered in blood, he wasn’t sure if it was his or not. He didn’t remember getting hit but punching someone hard enough can easily open up a wound on your hand. He raised his hazel eyes back to Tas an spoke only in a whispered mumble.

”I’m sorry”

Turning away from everyone in shame, Dom hurried himself out of the room. Why? How could he let this happen? They weren’t supposed to see it, they weren’t supposed to know. Nat wasn’t…oh God Nattie. Dominic glanced down at his hands again, God if she had seen him, she had seen that….how could he do that on this of all nights? Forget the HCM. It was the rage, the fever….that’s what was really killing Dominic Mason.

Entering into the bathroom where Nat was being looked after by some of the gang, Big Mountain looked at her with no words, typical Dom. He tried to speak but he couldn’t find the words that would help in this situation. Suddenly his love was wrapped tightly in his arms, her wet chestnut hair brushing against his cheek. He clutched Nat and pulled her in close. She hadn’t seen it. She hadn’t seen him lose himself. He pressed a kiss to the top of her head just before she pulled away to continue to clean up.

As more and more people began to file into the bathroom to check on Nattie, Dominic sat down against the sink, replaying the scene in his head over and over again. He had nearly killed that kid….that’s all he was, just another kid and the Minnesota man nearly beat him to death. Light tears began to fill his eyes just in time for Nat to come back over to him.

"So, what happened when I left? Anyone want to feel me in?"

Simply raising his left hand to be visible to everyone, Dom did not look at all like himself. His hand was stained red, swollen from the force of his punches and the blood that had been spilled. ”I…I nearly killed him…I…can’t…I got to go get your surprise ready…Nat I’ll see you at home” Dom couldn’t do it. He couldn’t be around them. His heart and mind was all over the place, the anger was eating away at him. He got to his feet and planted a soft kiss on Natalya’s lips. ”I love you” He quickly hurried back into the main room, ignoring the friends that had remained there. He grabbed his crumpled jacket from the floor and swiftly departed.

What had he done?

Dominating Heights Productions presents:

"Fly Together: A Journey"

Dominic Mason has always loved the mountains and together with only his friends, he set out to explore some uncharted peaks to climb and snowboard. Over the course of a year, Dom and his friends went on three different expeditions to some of the most beautiful and dangerous places on the planet. Together, they embarked on a journey that transcended mountaineering or snowboarding as they pushed physical and emotional limits; learning more about themselves than they ever thought possible along the way. Beautiful and tragic, Fly Together is the quiet voice in a crowded room that breaks through the chaos and is there to show us that sometimes our lives are too controlled and too safe. Sometimes what we need is unpredictability and danger and there is no better place to find both of those than in the mountains...together.

@Xtreme Bear Grylls: Dominator Edition

@Aewin

The documentary does need a name....

Growing Up | It's Anything But Simple

@Xtreme
Forget training danger will make the film more eXcItInG

@Turnaround Amy

Good point

Growing Up | It's Anything But Simple

@Xtreme Lol maybe a good six months of indoor training on climbing and rigging for each person that wants to tag along before they can go? Safety, survival, climbing, everyone should learn first aide, etc.

@Lady Amalthea

Fair point

Growing Up | It's Anything But Simple

@Xtreme Oh this is gonna end soo bad. Dr. Tas, hates cold weather, and is deathly afraid of icy roads and heights.... Yup, bad bad bad, lol

@Lady Amalthea

Dom will protect everyone!

<Snipped quote by Xtreme>

Nat will go on every expedition, I'd like to add. :)

@HushedWhispers

I don't doubt it, Dom would expect her there!

Tas won't, have to find a secondary. She has an Er to take care of, she can't run off all the time to various expeditions and expect to keep getting paid and keep a job. No steady work, no residency, no money, no apartment. Lol She'll be able to go on 1, maybe 2 if they are at least 6 months apart.

Edit: Does anyone but Dom have actual climbing experience? If not, this is going to end way bad...

@Lady Amalthea

All the trips will be relatively spaced apart I think, its costs a lot to go on said trips so!
Some have climbing experience....I think but probably not to Dom's extent. That's part of the adventure.

Growing Up | It's Anything But Simple

Here's a list just off the top of my head, obviously I need to have a better think and I'd like everyone to go on at least one trip. So at one time or another at least four people would be on an expedition.

- Dom – Narrator/Host/Expedition Leader
- Feliks – Marketing/Promotion
- Benji - Soundtrack
- Tas – Chief Medical Person
- Claire – Co Host (First Mountain)
- Connor – Co Host (Second Mountain)
- Belle – Marketing/Promotion
- Sam - Catering
- Echo – Editing (Possible host since she snowboards too)
- Natalya – Principal Photography
- Eddy – Marketing/Promotion (if he somehow gets back into the gangs good books)
- Didi - Editing
- Eva – Marketing/Promotion
- Jeje - Editing
- Kip – Cinematography/Director
- Lucie – Co Host (Third Mountain)

Growing Up | It's Anything But Simple

@Xtreme Eva'll be totally useless unless you need someone to dress Dom up fashionably to go hiking.

@Aewin

Well there's that or well you know, she's pretty, pretty sells.

I can easily come up with a list of roles that everyone could fulfil, no problem
