Recuperation

Little pumpkin pie

Justin Bieber

As we walked to the park I took in my surroundings as if trying to take a picture of everything in my mind so I wouldn't forget about what it looks like or where everything is placed when I go back into the rehabilitation centre. 

One of my hands were clasped tightly in Jason's while the other held snuffles lead so he couldn't get away from me and Jason held onto Lily while Levi had his arm tightly linked to mine and was looking around his surroundings in awe, but also weariness. 

We walked in a peaceful silence, the only sound you could hear was of our soft breathing and the sound of the dogs paws hitting the ground along with their excited pants. 

Jason's thumb was gently gliding along my pointer finger as he looked ahead of him with a soft smile on his face and I bit the inside of my cheek to try and stop a smile from spreading along my face, but it was proving to be difficult as he looked at me from the corner of his eye and sent me a wink. 

I giggled and leaned my head against his shoulder for a few seconds before lifting it up again and looking at Levi, "A-Are you ok?" I asked him tilting my head to the side slightly.

Levi smiled and nodded shyly, "Yeah, I just feel like I should go back, it's you guys last day together before we have to go back and I don't want to intrude." He spoke shyly again making me shake my head, but before I could say anything Jason did.

"We have plenty of time to spend with each other Levi, don't think you're intruding because you aren't, alright?" Jason spoke softly but sternly.  

Levi seemed to be contemplating what Jason had said before he nodded softly, "Sorry, I just want you guys to have alone time together." He smiled slightly glancing at both of us.

"And we will, just enjoy yourself and look around the place, don't feel like you don't belong here because you do, alright little bro?" Jason grinned as Levi blushed looking down at the ground shyly.

"Yes ok." He spoke quietly as I smiled a little. 

"May I walk snuffles?" Levi asked me and I nodded quickly holding out the leash for him to take.

"O-Of course, just be careful because he may be s-small, but he can pull you along." I giggled as Levi's eyes went wide as Snuffles started to drag him along the pavement. 

I let out a small sigh and wrapped my hand around Jason's bicep with my other hand still intertwined with his, "You ok baby?" Jason questioned looking down at me quickly as I looked back up at him and nodded.

"Y-Yeah, I've just been thinking." I admitted making Jason frown before glancing up again. 

"Take the left and then a right and carry on walking straight." Jason shouted at Levi who was still getting pulled along.

"Ok." He shouted back before turning the corner. 

Jason looked back at me with worry covering his features, "What have you been worrying about pumpkin?" He asked softly.

"Well-" I spoke in a higher pitch than I intended to making Jason chuckle and kiss the top of my head, I pouted before I started to speak again.

"I-I want my mum to a-adopt Levi," I admitted making Jason's eyes widen as he listened carefully to what I had to say, "He's sixteen so he's still a-able to be put up for adoption, h-he's like my little brother and I-I don't want him going back to his house, i-it's not a home for him and I-I just want him to be safe." I whispered with furrowed eyebrows. 

Jason was quiet for a few seconds before he nodded his head in what seemed to be understanding, "I get that you want that baby, I really do, but you need to talk to him about it, even though his life at home may not be the best, even though he gets put through hell and back, he may not want to leave there, he may feel like he has a loyalty there and that he cant ever leave because his mother needs him, we both know that that isn't the case but he may not, do you get me baby?" Jason concluded and I nodded with a sigh.
