If by my life or death I can protect you, I will. --- 2019?

I stretched as she got herself up. " I'm fine for now...jusy get yourself ready to go." I said as I tried to force myself to smile. This is going to be a long day. I was glad trinity was here though. It took a little tension away from me. She looked as though she didn't believe me. " I'll be alright for the time being."

I held onto her tightly, kissing the top of her head.  "I've got you," I said to her softly, never wanting to let her go in fear that she would fall apart and into many pieces in front of me if I did.

I was just sitting on my bed, staring down at my shoes that still were not on my feet and my tie still hung loose around my neck.  I lost one man who was like a father to me.  I felt just as bad as I did when we lost Mum.  How were we supposed to get through this?  There was so much death around us... Mum, her baby, Aunt Chloe, Uncle Remus, Desi and Charlie Weasley, and now Uncle Will... how can we get through this?

I wanted to hurt her. I nuzzled myself into his chest as I cried, looking up to him. " I know....and you're not going anywhere..." I told him. I couldn't have him leave me either, I couldn't lose all the men in my life. I have Josh and Charlie. My dad won't be at our wedding to walk me down the aisle. It dawned on me that Meredith stole that from me. More tears fell, he won't be at our wedding. " He won't be there."

I nodded against her blonde hair.  "I wasn't planning on it," I assured her, hoping that I could always keep that promise.  I squeezed her tighter to me when she added the last part.  I wanted to tel her that he would be there for her... but I knew that saying it somewhat philosophically like that was not what she wanted to hear.

I nodded against his chest " Good." I said muffled. I didn't know how I could move. I didn't know what to do or what we were going to do without him. I couldn't believe he was gone, I don't want to believe it. " What are we going to do..."

I assured Dad that I could handle the boys while he headed ovr to the Lupins early.  Stan was all done getting ready, just sitting in front of some food, though he was not touching it.  I was trying to make sure they ate something... I found Ryan sitting on his bed and knocked lightly on the doorframe as I walked in.  "Ryan... we're going to be leaving soon.  Do you need help with that?" I asked, motioning to his tie.

I wasn't sure I believed him but I did need to get ready. I gave him a quick hug as I stood. "I"ll be right back." I forced a small smile at him, then ran up the stairs. I was about to go into Charlies room where I had out my things the day before when I saw Josh and Ally hugging. They looked over and I could feel myself blush. "Sorry," I wanted to say more but I coudn't find the words. I was inturupting a moment and I felt horrible.

"We'll take it a minute at a time for now," I whispered to her, not letting go.  I attempted to give a comforting smile to Trinity when she walked in and left just as quickly.

"One minute at a time..." I repeated. I was so glad to know Josh was there to have my back. I know he wouldn't let me kill Meredith. Dad wouldn't want that. Doesn't mean I wouldn't feel better. I wasn't sure how I was going to handle this. " We just have to wait for uncle Dean to get mum to come out so we can go." I told him as I looked up to meet his eyes.

I nodded at her.  "He's up there helping her... I'm sure they'll be down soon enough," I said to Ally softly.  I leaned down and kissed her forehead.

Breaking the hug I looked up to meet his eyes, " I wish I could help her....All I want to do is something I know Dad wouldn't want me to do anyway..." I explained. I knew it wasn't the right thing to do and all I wanted to do unfortunately. I hate her. " We do need to get going shortly...." I said looking to the time.

"Don't worry... I'll make sure you don't do anything too stupid or that you'll regret in the long run," I assured her.

I nodded, " thanks....I don't want to do anything stupid today." I told him as I walked over to the kettle. " Tea while we wait?" I asked him. I didn't care that by the time we were to finish it we would probably have to go. Tea was always the solution, although mum had cups of tea everywhere in their room. I sighed as I filled up the kettle and turned it on.

I looked at my sister and shook my head.  "I'm fine," I lied.  I stood up and let her tie it anyways for me because she had given me the look that told me she knew better.  We left my room and found Stan.  "I don't know how we're going to get through this..." I hated admitting my doubts, but if I did not... then I was going to have problems again... just like when I lost Mum.
