Alone

(Part 3)

Reeves pov-

Mia left before i had a chance to respond. even after everything she's done i still care for her. it's hard to stop caring for someone you have spent everyday of ur life with for 23 years. i don't know how she done it so easily. i was wondering who had called her why did she seem so worried? she really didn't look herself today. and who was she talking to in the bathroom? so many thoughts ran through my mind i didn't been notice Marjorie had walked in. "ready for our date then?" she asks giving me a smile "uh yeah" we walked together and got into my car. "Are you okay reece?" she asks putting her hand on my arm. "yeah just tired that's all" we drive to the restaurant and order our food. i know i shouldn't be but i was really worried about Mia i thought about texting her but i don't know if that's the best idea. i was pulled from my thoughts when i heard Marjorie speak again. "my love are you sure ur okay? you've been really distracted." i didn't know if i should tell her the truth since she absolutely hates Mia but i decided to anyway. "okay don't be mad at me" she takes my hand in mine. "reece I'm not going to be mad." i decided to tell her praying she won't be. "okay so in kinda worried about Mia" i regretted it as soon as i said it. "MIA" she says almost choking on her drink. "hey you said you wouldn't be mad." i say to her. "okay ur right I'm sorry, continue" i go on to tell her about her phone call in the bathroom and the one in the office. "yeah when i walked into the office she didn't say anything which i thought was a bit weird" i decided i would try to talk to Mia again tomorrow.

Mia's pov-

As soon as i left work i drove straight to my mother's house. when i arrived the door was unlocked and i walked into the living room seeing her completely intoxicated and surrounded by empty bottles and cans. she has a half lit cigarette that she fell asleep while smoking which was about to burn a hole in her sofa. i take it off of her putting in out in the ask tray before cleaning up all the bottles and cans. once im done i go to wake her up. "Mom wake up" i shook her gently. "oh Mia hunny you're here" she pulls me in for a hug. "Mom you promised you wouldn't this time." i say fighting back tears. "i know hon i'm sorry it won't happen again." like i haven't heard that before. i help her up and get her into bed. "thank you hun what would i do without you i love you Mia" i give her another hug before whispering back "i know mom" i leave and go to clean the rest of the house getting rid of any left over alcohol before texting Reece. "hey something came up i wont be in tomorrow. can you manage?" she responds almost immediately "yeah i can manage. what's came up?" i really didn't feel like telling him. he doesn't know about my mom they only met a couple of occasion's. "i'm sick" that's all i could think of to reply to him. "something came up and that something is that ur sick?" fuck can't help just drop it? "yes" i reply getting more frustrated the more i text him. "actually i can't mange gonna need you in" i wanted to scream. "fine" i answer before throwing my phone across the room. i decided i'd just stay at my moms tonight since it was already pretty late i didn't have any spare clothes which means id be wearing the same thing to work for 3 days now. not like anyone would notice i barely speak to them unless I'm arguing with someone. i set my alarm and fall asleep on the sofa.
