Help

A/N: Little disclaimer, there will be a brief talk about abuse in this chapter.

It was a calm night, Charlotte is sleeping peacefully, when suddenly the piercing sound of a phone cuts through the quiet of the night.
Blue eyes snap open as she clumsily and hastily grabs for her phone on the nightstand, careful to not wake the sleeping person beside her.
She accepts the call without looking at the screen.
"ello?": she mumbles voice still rough with sleep.
"Oh my god, Charlotte thank god you picked up." Marjorie's panicked voice fills her ears, and she sits up straighter, more awake now than before.
"Marjorie? What happened? Why are you calling me at..." she looks at her watch "2 am in the morning, on a saturday?"
"I can't explain right now. Can you get Mia on the phone, please? I need her help."

Now Charlotte knows something is up, even though Mia was on her best behavior around Marjorie, and Marj had come around a little bit too, it was still tense between them at times, so having Marjorie call her and ask for her girlfriend, something must be really wrong.
"Oh, okay wait a second. I am going to wake her."
She puts the phone back down on the nightstand, and turns to her still sleeping girlfriend.
She shakes her head lightly, wondering how she slept through all of that.
"Char? Sweetheart? Are you okay? Did something happen?" :Is the first thing Mia mumbles, as Char shakes her shoulder gently.
Charlotte smiles at the immediate concern for her and her health.

She leans down to give her a quick kiss, reassuring her that everything is okay.
"Marjorie called saying she needs to talk to you."
"Marjorie? Now? What time is it?": She says, as she sits up to rub the sleep from her eyes, trying to wake up more.
"I don't know, but it's probably urgent, she would have waited after 2 am otherwise."
"Okay, give me the phone"
Char hands Mia her phone.
"Marjorie? What is-" Is everything she gets out before Marjorie interrupts her.
"Mia, I am sorry to wake you, or have Char wake you, but something happened with Reece, and I didn't know who to call, and I thought you two were together for so long you would probably now what to do-"
"MARJORIE, please calm down and tell me what happend" Mia cuts her off.
"Right, sorry okay so we were talking, and suddenly he got a little weird, and closed off and wouldn't let me touch him or talk with him. He just completely shut down, and now he is just sitting outside, staring at the sky, and I don't know what to do."
Mia sighs: "What were you talking about?" "I don't know, wait let me think. We were talking about my parents coming to visit soon, wanting to meet him, and then I asked him something about his mom and then this started."

Mia closes her eyes for a second:
"Alright that explains it. Okay I actually know what to do. First of all that reaction was probably from the fear of meeting your parents and then the thought about his mother gave him the rest.
Now what you want to do is give him some space, he does not want to talk right now. Let him cool down. Make him his favorite tea, and something to eat, just a snack or something small. When you are finished with preparing all of that he should have had enough time to calm down a little. Approach him slowly, and do not touch him, believe me I made that mistake once. He was just so in his head at that moment, he flinched and that's how I had to walk around with a black eye for a few weeks. Anyway, talk with him, ask permission to touch and then be there for him, listen if he wants to talk, cuddle if he doesn't. You are going to be fine. You know him too. Just do what feels right. Okay?"
"Thank you, Mia. I really mean it."
"It's quite alright, if that is all I would like to go back to cuddling Char and sleep."
"MIA" Char whisper shouts as she slaps at her arm lightly. Mia just smirks at her.
"Oh, no I mean yeah that was all. Thank you. Good night." And with that the line went dead.

Mia holds the phone out to Char who puts it back on the nightstand, before rolling in Mia's waiting arms, settling her head on her chest, listening to her heartbeat and feeling her comb through her hair.
"Did that happen often?"
"Hm? What? The shut downs? No, not often but every now and then. I learned how to help him in those situations. It was a good idea from Marjorie to call me, well call you." She places a kiss on Chars forehead.
"No, I mean did he hurt you often, even if it was an accident?"
"Oh no no no sweetheart, he didn't, like I told Marjorie, he only did that because I startled him, and he felt bad for weeks about it. Roger on the other hand...well let's just say he shares the same temper, and you know Autumn, so you can imagine how he got when I didn't manage to do what he asked, but it's fine."
"No it is not, what-" she is silenced with a sweet kiss.
"I love your protective side, but it is fine, it was a long time ago, plus I really do not want to talk about it tonight. I am really tired because someone couldn't get enough of me." She winks at Char, who blushes.
"I can't help it, you do things to me that I don't understand. Okay but we will talk about it someday, promise?"
"'I promise, can we sleep now?"
Char chuckles, giving Mia another quick kiss before laying back down on her chest. "Good night Mia, I love you."
She hears Mia's heart make a jump when she says "I love you" she kisses the skin above it, before resting her head back on it.
"I love you too, sweetheart. So much"

They are laying in silence, both drifting away slowly, when Char's phone dings. Char blindly reaches for it, with her arm, reading the message and smiling.
"Your advice helped, Reece is okay and Marj is really grateful you helped her." When no response comes, Char realizes her girlfriend is already back asleep. She shakes her head fondly, before closing her eyes as well, waiting for sleep to claim her too.
