Running Into Noah

RIN/Chapter 15

I knew I shouldn't have been drinking because it never ends well but I couldn't just not drink when I really needed to get my mind off being stuck here for Christmas.

I finished off my bottle and laid on the couch as Noah went around looking for a radio or something because it would be nice to listen to a song or two right now.

"Found it." Noah said as I heard a lot of cluttering coming from the back room and Noah walks out with the radio and plugs it into the walls outlet.

I got up and turned my head towards the opened door, it had all Christmas decorations.

"Hey, Noah." I said as I stood up and almost fell on my face. "Want to, uh... decorate the cottage with me?" I asked him as I made my way to the door.

As I walked it kind of made my head feel better so I wasn't tripping around much.

Noah laughed and nodded his head, "Yeah." He said as he changed the station and on came a very old Christmas song- I didn't even know the name to it I just knew how it went.

The music was blasting all over the little cottage as we set up a little plastic Christmas tree and decorated it with lights and decorative balls, and just anything we found around the storage room.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let you heart be light
From now on
Our troubles will be out of sight

I was spinning around the room with lights in my hands and when they turned on I felt like a light princess from a badly directed play.

I set up the lighting all across the floor and tapped some parts on the wall when the song was off again,

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yule-tide gay
From now on
Our troubles will be miles away

"Dani." Noah said and I looked over to him and smiled when I saw him holding up the star. "You want to put it up?" He asks and I cheer.

"Lets do it together!" I shout as I ran over to him and grabbed the star to look at it. It was so sparkly and pretty.

I grabbed Noah left hand and put it over mine, sparks- it felt like sparks were dancing in my hand and traveling through my fingers. I looked up to Noah and smiled, gosh he's so handsome.

"Ready?" I ask him and he nods his head and smiled at me.

Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who's are dear to us
Father near to us once more

We reach up to the top of the tree and set the star on it perfectly, as our hands come down we let go but right away Noah takes his right hand and puts it in my left and holds onto it as we look up at the beautiful tree. It was bright and colorful and I have never made a tree like this before, it was something you'd see off the tv Christmas shows.

Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a star upon the highest bough and have yourself a merry little Christmas now

The song stopped playing and Noah gave me a tight squeeze on my hand and I looked up to him and smiled.

"I'm so happy I'm here with you, Noah." I said and he looked at me and smiled.

"And I'm happy I'm here with you." He said and I tried to smile but it came out like a frown. "What's wrong?" He asks me, sounding completely worried now.

"I've missed you so much, Noah." I cried in his arms and he hugged me instantly brining me warmth.

"No, no, no.." Noah said as he held on tight and slightly rocked me back and forth, "Don't cry." He whispered but I kept crying.

"I always wanted to visit you, I always wanted to call but I was scared." I admitted and Noah stayed quiet for a while.

"Really?" He asked and I nodded my head. Noah sat me down on the couch and kept me in his arms. "Sometimes people get scared and it's fine..." He said trying to make me feel better.

"I'm always scared." I tell Noah, "Like right now. I'm scared."

"Why?" He asks me and I frown.

"Because..." I took a deep breath and wiped away my tears. "What if I lose you again."

Since I was laying on Noah's chest a little I felt his heart stop then it started to beat again.

"You won't." Noah whispered sad he kissed my forehead, "I won't let you..."

I smiled to myself.

I hope you don't, Noah.

Because I don't want to lose you anymore.

For Mike Brown's family, friends, and those who are protesting I hope you all are safe. I pray that this makes a change in the world. A murder belongs in jail not on paid leave.

Most of you are complaining about a burnt flag but I got new for you; this would is burning. It's a fire ball of evil, no good is coming- just flames. Deadly flames that are killing us all, burning our skin, heating up the moments, causing injustice. One flag was burned but the nation has been burning for years. We as the people should stay together and keep the flames down, we as ones have to understand how to stand up to the flames inside those who carry guns, we as people have to be as one. We must walk together, stand together, and protect the world that is becoming a sun. One flag was burnt but how many lives were lost? And how many more do we need to lose for you to understand the fear in the flames? Beware of those who carry gun.

"Hands up, don't shoot."
