Life, it's something you should never take advantage of. It's short and messy, yet full of adventure and wonder. That's how it all started, I took life for granted. I didn't appreciate it, but I hope you do.
I opened my eyes and looked around before checking the clock. It read 12:02 am, I must have dozed off, last I remember it was 11:23 pm. Levi still wasn't home? I sat up and sighed before getting up. I was about to head into our bedroom when I heard keys at the door.
The door opened and Levi walked in looking up at me. "Hey babe, what are you still doing up?" He asked before walking up and giving me a kiss.
"I wanted to wait for you so I could welcome you home, so um, welcome home," I said before throwing my arms around him.
"I love you brat," he said before picking me up and throwing me over his shoulder.
"What are you doing?"
"You're opening tomorrow, you have to get some sleep," he said before carrying me into the bedroom and setting me down on the bed. "I appreciate you waiting for me, but you need your sleep," he insisted before heading out of the room probably to grab something to eat.
I just sat on the bed with a pout on my face determined to stay awake until he came to bed. Next thing I knew I was waking up to my alarm so my plan to stay up must have worked so well. I sat up and let out an annoyed sigh. I was way too tired to go to work.
"Babe, can you please turn that off," Levi groaned next to me as he tried to shove his face farther into his pillow.
"Sorry," I whispered to him turning off the alarm. I slid out of bed and went to start my day. After I finished showering and getting ready I walked back in and placed a kiss on Levi's cheek before leaving, or that was the plan, but Levi wrapped his arms around my waist and wouldn't let me go.
"I have to go to work," I mumbled not really wanting to go. Anyone could hear how bleak my voice sounded. I just wanted to crawl back into bed and forget the day. However, if I did that then I would just be allowing depression to take hold again.
"When does your shift end?" He asked looking up at me. I could tell he was still a little groggy from sleep, but, he looked hopeful about something.
"Around 4."
He fully perked up as his lips moved to my ear nibbling on it for a moment before whispering to me. "So you mean I might actually get to see my husband for more than 5 minutes." I could tell he was excited.
"Yup, as long as they don't call you in."
"This has been my first real day off in almost two weeks, they're not calling me in. If they call I'm hanging up," he said and couldn't help but laugh. We would finally have a night to ourselves that wasn't overtaken by one of our work schedules.
"Well, maybe tonight we can finally have a date night?" I couldn't help but smile now maybe today wouldn't be that bad after all. Usually I never truly believe that tonight will be the night neither of us has to work because something always comes along. However, he seemed to be determined so I'll remain hopeful... for now.
"It's a date," he said before pulling me in for a kiss. "Now hurry up and leave so you can come back sooner."
"That's not how it works," I rolled my eyes but before I could leave Levi caught my wrist.
"Did you take your meds?" he asked quickly remembering to remind me to keep me on a better track than where I was taking myself.
I just stopped for a minute. He knew I had stopped taking them since my dad died and that's probably why my depression has been coming back worse than before. "I'll take them now," I sighed before grabbing my antidepressants and a quick bite to eat and heading to work. I did end up taking them but I don't know I feel like they only do half of what they used to since I stopped taking them. Maybe it's just because I'm still grieving.
