Levianna Stevenson.

"Yes Levi? I'm in the middle of my Young and the Restless." Mama J huffs opening the door wider for me to come inside, the air conditioning felt so good from the mid May blazing heat. I kicked off my heels and followed her into the living room, sitting with my knees tucked underneath of me, and ready to tell the news. She stares at me drawing a blank, and I do too. The tears in my eyes made me want to cry forever, but I wasn't going to. I couldn't, I had to stay strong somehow.

"Mama, he has cancer." I say rubbing my temples over and over. All that we've been through, and now this? I just don't know if anything is even worth it anymore.

"I knew something was wrong, I could hear it in his voice and the way he looked. He just didn't listen to me, and it hurts that he didn't." Mama J says holding in her tears.

"I-I don't even know how to tell the kids. How to explain it to them in a sense that everything will make sense.  When the doctors told me, it was surreal. Way too much for me to even handle. Since then, I hadn't been out the house in days. I've failed to look decent, and I'm on a week of vacation for work.

"Well, call them in here, there in the basement and I'll try to explain. How about you just go over to the hospital, alright?" She says bringing me into a hug. Something I needed after all these stressful days and nights.

Christopher Brown.

I couldn't get comfortable on this bed. I was basically going to have to suck it up and get used to it until this was I guess all over. Levi was here, because she just texted me. I wasn't really up to company, just because I had a lot of thinking to do. I mean Levi and I were in a situation where, if I do this operation the recovery is seriously risky. It was a risk, and theres so much I want to say to her and talk to her about.  Like maybe just the thought of getting married here and a lot more. I bit onto my bottom lip as she enters the room and closes the door after herself. She takes a place next to me and reaches her lips to mine.

"I missed you." She breathes and I say it back, I did miss Levi. A lot actually.

"I spoke to the nurse. And it just seems like we have a lot of things to talk about-"

"I wanna get married..."  I blurt out, I didn't care if she wasn't done talking. It needed to be said now.

"What? Chris... we can wait right?"

"No. This operation isn't all that safe. Considering I could die possibly." I lied about the end, it may be more convincing, shit.

"Chris, thats just a lot to think about, plan and even do. The operation is supposed to be Saturday."

"And we got five days, stop playing like you don't want this to happen babe."

She rolls her eyes and nods accordingly. "I'm just scared, for you. And us, and our family. I never thought this would happen. I thought you would lose me because I'd be done with your bullshit, but I could lose you."

"And thats what hurts me the most Levi. I wish I could go back in time and be that king you'd need in order to be a queen. I'm just turning 30 years old and realizing that shit wasn't cool. I took way too long to mature and it's kills me. I want to go back and show you the world, but I can't." I mumble.

The seconds, minutes, hours, and days passed by and Levi still wasn't trying to follow through with the whole wedding plan, I just didn't get the big deal. I wasn't that bad of a guy was I? Well there was that one time I made her get an abortion.

I pulled up infront of Levi's school near the courtyard. I saw her chewing away at her lunch, the way her lips moved when she ate, it fascinated me.
