Bad things have been happening to Levi's family. Problems at work, with the bills, and he and his s/o had some arguments but they were minor. Marc didn't think so, he thought the bad luck was bc of him (his biological father always made him feel at fault for things). so, he ran away from home thinking it would be for the best. Levi and his s/o look desperately for him, finding him at a park alone. they were in tears, saying that he's the best thing to ever happen to them. ANgst

💜Bad Luck💜

There were just those periods in life where nothing seemed to go right. And that period seemed to be hovering over the Ackerman household.

Levi came home from another long day in the office. This business deal was going to be the death of him it seemed. Problem after problem seemed to pop up. Long hours and massive headaches were his norm for the moment.

Home was better but there more squabbles between him and Y/N than normal. Nothing major, but between his shorter temper from work and her tendency to bottle up her emotions, they had definitely slammed a few more doors than they normally would have.

There was also some back tax issue on the house that had come up. Apparently someone 10 years ago put a lean on the property and it had never come up when Levi and Y/N had bought the land to build their house. Not the county was trying to charge him the full amount plus 10 years interest. It wasn’t about the money, although that was a hefty bill, it was about the fact that this things should have been discovered when they purchased the land 3 years ago. He now had his lawyer looking into it, but it was another issue he was having to deal with.

It was just a run of bad luck that he was sure was going to pass soon. What he didn’t know that someone else didn’t think so.

Marc had been told by his biological father when he was around that everything was always his fault. They wouldn’t be in debt if he weren’t born. They would have a nicer car if he wasn’t so mess. He would be happier if Marc weren’t such a little shit. Those things were ingrained into him whenever he was around. His mother said they weren’t true, but sometimes Marc wondered if she died just to get away from him.

He was like that unlucky penny. Trouble just seemed to follow him. He knew that Mom and Dad were so much happier before he came to live with them. They couldn’t have a fights, they were too perfect together. It must be him.

Tonight he sat in his bed and listened as his mom snapped at his dad downstairs. He couldn’t exactly hear what they were saying, but the tone was not very nice. He was sure that they had forgotten about tucking him in, but maybe that was for the best. He slid out from under the covers and started packing a bag.

~~~~~

“I’m sorry babe, I didn’t mean to forget about the luncheon. I had a meeting that ran over.” Levi said as he walked to Y/N and put his arms around her. He had not meant to leave her hanging without a word. He had left his phone in his office so he hadn’t even texted her.

“I’m sorry I snapped. I was just so mad at you for not letting me know.” Y/N sighed as she leaned against him.

He gave her a kiss and jerk his head towards the stairs. “Lets go say good night to little man and how about we open up a bottle of wine and relax in a bath together?” Levi asked as he threw her a hot look.

Y/N giggled as she walked up the stairs behind Levi, holding his hand as they went. They really needed to get back to their normal interactions. She never liked arguing with Levi, especially around Marc.

Y/N walked into the bedroom and looked around. His bed was made up neatly and he was sitting in his normal reading chair. Where was he? Levi looked in his bathroom and shook his head.

Levi spotted the paper on his desk. Handwriting that was definitely his son’s saying that everything was his fault and it was best if he left. Levi passed the paper to his wife as he let out a curse. “Shit.”

They didn’t call the police yet. Knowing that he couldn’t have gotten far. But they still race outside with flashlights and started calling his name. It had started getting dark early and the temperatures would get lower and bitter as the night progressed, they needed to find Marc.

They ran towards the are that he liked to play, a park that he enjoyed meeting his friends at.

“Marc!” Y/N called as Levi shined his light over the deserted play area. He caught movement from the swings and pointed the light at it. Marc was sitting on the swing, looking down at his shoes, a small backpack beside him.

“Marc!” Y/N rushed over to him and hugged him, Levi not far behind.

“What were you doing son?” Levi asked, trying to keep his voice neutral. He didn’t want to yell at him, but he was upset and knew that it could come across that way.

The little boy looked up at his parents with tears in his eyes. “I’m bad luck. Everything had gone wrong since you brought me home. Just....let me go and you’ll be happy again.”

Levi looked at his crying son with compassion. He knew that there was plenty of emotional abuse in the system, and with that POS that was his biological father, who knew what he had been told over and over again. He looked at Y/N and she nodded, letting him take the lead.

“Marc.” He crouched down and make Marc look him in the eye. “Bad luck is just that. Bad luck. It happens sometimes, but no one causes it. You....you are the best thing that has ever happened to us. Never doubt that for a second.”

Y/N was sniffling, tears pooling in her eyes as she stroked his hair gently. He looked up at her and she nodded. “Yep, you are the best part of our lives. Our family wasn’t complete until you, Marc.”

“Come on, let’s go home.” Levi held out his hand for Marc and waited patiently for the boy to take it. When he did, he stood up and pick up the small bag to carry back to their house.

“You know, for scaring us, you owe us an extra long hug tonight.” Y/N said as both adults held on to one of Marc’s hands.

Marc happily agreed, relieved that he wasn’t bad luck after all.

I had a dream where I was in some kind of old old fashioned house from like a hundred years ago that my mom lived in and I was helping her move out but it was like haunted and the piano started playing on its own but then we found out it was actually miss Natalie Garcia playing but it was like she was possessed and it was unctrollable and also in the dream I was in some kind of like open house at another super old house and I was with my friends and they were all like super high and kept messing with things in there and I was trying to investigate the house bc it was haunted and I found out that there was some kind of disease back then called something super weird like bayanol or something and it was a disease where people got really bad headaches and their faces started like fading away or like deteriorating and I was trying to collect info on it.

also at a different part of the dream I was at my house but it had like an extension on the outside and my stepdad kept like leaving and coming back I think to turn off the sprinklers? and then I was somewhere else but I had to like run back super fast and everything looked super weird and me and kara had to go to this other building and sleep on the roof of the building but it wasn't our first time there and Kara was trying to lay down but the roof kept sinking wherever she was and I was trying to get her to move bc ppl would know if their ceiling started sinking that we were up there so we ended up finding a strip of like a harder surface on the roof and we were trying to sleep there and then Kara was like what if they find us up here and I was like they won't but then they DID right after that a bunch of people came who we like knew but idk how it was from some kind of like group we were in like laser tag or something. and the ppl were like omg guys what's up why are you sleeping here that's illegal and then they were like mad at us and we were trying to run away but I think it was just me at this point and then I heard like on the news something crazy was happening and a bunch of people were panicking so I smoked a "double joint" which seems like it would be 2 joints 1 mouth but it was actually 1 joint 2 mouths (2 people) and it was weird it didn't do anything and then I went to like some house and it was revealed that I had a daughter?? she was like 3 or 4 and I asked jorge to babysit her bc he's good with kids and then he was like threatening to put her to bed early for some reason and I was like mad about that and then I found out that he hit my daughter and I was like so angry but I didn't say anything besides asking why and I dont remember what he said it was something along the lines of like well she said this to me and your mom was there and said that to me it was the only thing I could do and it was such a good reason that I ended up apologizing and hugging him but then he didn't apologize back for hitting her which made me so much more upset and then we started walking somewhere idk where or why

that's all I remember
