《 24 》
Joanna was in the living room reading a womans health magazine. Even though it was 3 am. She was waiting on Wendy to get back to Katie and the dirty laundry to finish
The door creeked open, and Wendy walked in with a numb look on her face. Her eye where fuffy amd red and she smelt of alcoholJoanna stood up and walked in front of her "Whats happend"
she just brushed past her sister and disappeared into the kitchen without a word
Joanna saw Freya shortly after and she looked upset as well "What the hell happened?" Joanna whisper yeld
Freya pulled her mother to the side "Tommy, he was with another woman at the bar"
Joannas eyes went wide and her face began to turn a dark shade of red
She really thought Wendy found her soulmate
The oldest witch stormed into the kitchen and Wendy was standing, bent over the counter top with ber head in her hand sobbing
Joanna came behind Wendy "Oh Wendy" she put a hand on her shoulder and Wendy quickly turned around and clutched onto Joanna hiding her face in her sister long locks
Freya slowly walked over to the woman
The air was thick with sorrow
Freya wrapped her arms around both women
They standed there holding onto Wendy as she sobbed, trying to keep her standing, the only thing that could be heard were Wendys desperate muffling crys untill
"Wenie?" Katie groggily said from the bottom steps
Wendys head snaps up and wipes away her tears thought it was no use, quickly sending her sister a look of terror
Wendy turns around and makes her way towards Katie "Why aren't you in bed?" She sniffles
Katie walked down the last steps and gets close to Wendy, looking up "Whats wrong" she asked quietly and concerned
Wendy gets down on her knees to face the little girl "Your sad" Katie whispered wiping tears from Wendys wet cheeks
Wendy didnt hesitate to pull the child into a tight hug, realizing that Katie was gonna be affected by this also
"Im just so happy munchkin" she lied "I love you soo much sweet heart" she croaked
Katie smiled and tried to wrap her little arms around Wendys torsos "I love you to" she giggled
Wendy let tears roll down her cheeks. "I got some medicine to help your tummy" she said and backed away to get the medicine, Katue followed behind, Wendy poured the pink bubblgum flavored liquid into a measure "Here drink this" she handed Katie the tiny bottle and drank it and handed the bottle back to Wendy
"Now go back up stairs ill be up in a second," she says trying her best not to break down
Katie nods slowly really confused as to why her mom figure was so sad, as she walks towards the stairs she realizes that someone wasn't there "Where is daddy?"
Wendy takes a ragged breath. She stares into the girls eyes
Joanna and Freya watch as Wendy stares into the little girls eyes in complete vulnerability
"He uh-" Wendy croaks as tears begin to stream "Is on a vacation" she managed
Katie tilted her little head. Angry that her father didnt take her on the trip too "I want to go with him" She pouted "Its not fare" she huffed
Wendy turned around facing away from Katie "i know sweetheart" she whispered
Joanna stepped towards the kid "Why dont you go upstairs, Wendy will be up in a second"
"Come on Katie" Wendy turned around and reached for her hand "Lets go to sleep" Wendy didnt want to talk to anyone
Katie grabbed her hand and went up the stairs with Wendy
Wendy had changed into pajamas and had Katie crawl in bed with her
Wendy pulled Katie close to herself and Katies head rested on Wendys chest hearing the thumping of her heart "I love you Wenie, your my best fwend" Katie said groggily
Wendy sniffled and shut her eyes tightly trying to spot tears from formulating"Your my bestfriend too" Katie softly snored letting Wendy know she was asleep "I love you always and forever" she whispered
