I wonder what we're doing today...

"So...we gotta go out and go grocery shopping..." he said swaying me back and forth. I felt eyebrows ascend slightly, and a little grin came to my face.

"Funny thing, I was just thinking that we needed to get more groceries." I stated. He chuckled and ruffled my hair, and led me out the kitchen.

"Because New Years is coming up!" he sang and swung me around. He pulled me close to him and nuzzled my neck, planting light kisses up towards my lips till we were facing each other.

"And I'm more than happy to have you here with us for New Years..." he said softly. I giggled and pecked him on the lips.

"Who's gonna be here?" I asked, slightly concerned. I wasn't sure if it would be a big party or just something that was like christmas where it was just the people that knew about Ray and I. Hopefully it would just be like that, but it might be nice to have a big bash. I just wasn't sure how things would go is all. I wasn't even sure how I would react if alcohol was present....

"Well the usual people of course...and then some." he said and shrugged. I knitted my eyebrows together and tried to not express my worry, but it was clear that he could see it. He pursed his lips, and I turned away feeling a little guilty that he could see that I was worried.

"Baby, don't worry alright? I promise that these will be people that you'll love." he said rubbing my shoulders. I glanced up at his face and fixed my attention back to our feet again. I was thinking parties, drinking, breaking...bad things that weren't suppose to be thought ever yet I still thought about them. I heard him sigh and he picked me up and settled on the sectional with me in his lap. He kissed my cheek and rubbed my back in attempt to soothe me. It helped me some but I felt a mass of anxiety rising in my mind. Stop it Levi...don't be such a buzzkill...

And then I heard it again....It creased back it's thin twisted lips into a malevolent smile filled with long crooked teeth.

"Don't be such a burden..." And I snapped out of it. I shook my head and gritted my teeth. I won't listen to it. It's locked away. It can't hurt me...it can't hurt me...

"Levi?" he said softly. I turned to him and managed a tight smile. He pulled me into his chest and slowly ran his hand up and down my back, hushing me and slowing my heartbeat. I had to realize that not all people were bad. I had to realize that the presence of alcohol does not always serve as the harbringer of pain and destruction. I had to realize a lot of things in order to move on. I had to realize that I couldn't always run and hide from the things that I didn't want to see.

"Don't worry alright? It's just a little party is all, nothing big and wild." he said with a grin. I nodded and he ruffled my hair.

"You gotta stop worrying so much about these things Levi. Trust me, I wouldn't put you in any danger."

"Well you did throw me in the pool that one time..." I joked. He rolled his eyes.

"Babe, really. Come on. I could save you with my foot."

"I'm not that light!" I shot at him. He grinned and lifted me in the air above him.

"Yes you are." he chuckled. He carried me up the stairs and into his room and laid me down. I caught a gleam of the watch and a small smile crept to my lips. It made me happy to see him still wearing it.
