A/N: yes, that is another Taylor reference in the title it should just be expected from me by now.  I hope this one works well, some of this will be canon to Charlottes story other bits won't be, also random question are you all seeing the new cover for this story?? Sometimes it changes and sometimes it's the old one I was just wondering, anyway I hope you all enjoy.

Prompt: Autumn and Reece open up about their past to Marjorie and Winter

¡¡¡ TW: mentions of child abuse, ED mentions !!!
Words: 1963
They had all went round to Marjorie's for wine and cheese, 'a very sophisticated night' said Marjorie as her and Winter tried to convince the siblings to go on a double date. Marjorie had mentioned to Autumn about how funny it was that Reece was such a picky eater, always checking the menus and making sure he knows what he's getting before hand. Autumn stopped her in a second when she told her that Reece was recovering from an eating disorder.

Were they expecting the night to turn into a therapy session? No, not exactly. But Marjorie couldn't shake what Autumn had told her in the office, she needed to know more. She had asked Winter what he knew about Autumn's past but much to her dismay he didn't know much. The siblings were very private people and as much as they loved their significant others dearly it did scare the both of them having to open up to them.

Marjorie and Winter didn't want to trap them but they both did see this as the perfect opportunity to ask some questions, Reece and Autumn had each other and their partners there with them for support. The four of them sat round Marjorie's little wooden table in her living room, and for four people who saw each other five days a week, two of which were siblings. You could cut the tension with a knife.

"Okay I can't take this" Marjorie started "Reece, Autumn told me something about you in the office and I think we need to talk about it, while it's just us"

"Oh god" Autumn rolled her eyes at the manager, really not expecting her to have brought this up so soon. "What is it gorgeous?" Reece asked, truly confused as to what she was about to say to him.

"She was telling me about your eating habits as a child, more importantly your not so good habits that your father gave you" Reece knew what she meant immediately and looked at his younger sister, Autumn couldn't look at him she knew he'd be mad. "You told her!" He raised his voice "Reece she was worried she was going to find out eventually" she was getting annoyed at him, she always said he was worse at feelings than she was, but coming from a household where he was constantly told to 'man up' could you blame him.

Autumn was getting anxious, she wanted Winter close but couldn't seem weak in front of her brother and Marjorie, she looked at him with big pleading eyes and he got the hint. He rushed to her side. "I think we all need to talk" he said calmly placing his hand on Autumns lower back to give her some sort of comfort. He knew better than to kiss or cuddle her in front of others but knew she'd need it when they got home, this will have to do for now.

"Autumn, Reece. Marjorie and I are both here for you, the both of you not just our own partners. But in order to help you we need to talk about what happened to you two, even just a little bit. The knights didn't know where to look or where to begin, they knew they needed this but how do you tell the person you love the most in the world all your baggage without scaring them off.

"It got bad when mum left" Autumn started, shocking the other three in the room that she was the first to talk. "She left us knowing he would hurt us and did nothing to help, and poor Mia lost her father alongside her" Winter rubbed her back encouraging her to speak more but also offering her comfort. "He blamed us for her leaving" Reece continued for her, "it wasn't our fault, at least I don't think it was, I remember her leaving, she told us she was sorry and that she loved us. I remember chasing the car down the street begging her to come back, she never did."
