not much after autumn finished talking, they pulled up to reeces apartment. unlike autumn, he lived in the city centre in a high rise penthouse. you really would think it was a new york apartment if you didnt know what area you were in.

autumn had never actually been inside reeces apartment. she had heard, by marjorie of course, how gorgeous his house were. and she wasnt lying. obviously it was not autumns style, but even she thought it was breath taking. it had large windows, a full cityscape view. and the interior was a white modern look. 

when they entered together, marjorie was sat on the sofa. she was totally unaware that autumn was coming. mainly because she believed she would be violently hung over. funnily enough, marjorie didnt over react as per. she was really tired from the night prior, and she didnt want to over whelm autumn of course.

"oh my god, autumn i didnt know you would be coming round. how come you are here my love." marjorie asked.

autumn didnt reply. she didnt really know what to say, because she thought she was 'nagging for attention'.

"ive brought aut hear to keep and eye on her. i need to make sure she is feeling okay." reece smiled.

"oh okay. aut you sit on the sofa i will make a drink. i can make anything i dont mind" marjorie replied, trying to be welcoming.

"coffee please. extra strong." autumn answered.

both marjorie and reece hwaded into there spacious kitchen. autumn stayed on the sofa, wrapping her self in thick winter blanket. reece was grabbing biscuits, and marjorie was making the drinks.

marjorie walked next to reece, and ehispered in his ear.

"thank you reece for doing this. you are the kindest brother and i wish i had a brother like you growing up."

reece just hugged marjorie, and kissed her forehead.

------------------------------------------------------------

"one strong coffee for you autumn, a tea for reece and a latte for me" marjorie said passing the drinks over, and the sitting down

they all sat down. autumn sat alone on one sofa, she was layed down covered by a blanket. and reece cuddled marjorie on another sofa. they waited for autumn to talk about the baby. in the meantime, marjorie and reece just waffled.

"autumn you know at the nursery, there is so much drama amongst the parents. stellas mum had a full on brawl with jennifers mum!" marjorie said.

"i dont really get into the drama at my nursery to be honest. all they do is fan girl over me." reece responded.

"well tell them you are taken by me!" marjorie answered.

reece just laughed, he always tell them her name and that he wants to marry her. which, to be totally honest marjorie wanted to marry him as well.

however, autumn had enough of them trying to avoid the subject. for now, she didnt care if she cried. autumn just wanted to talk properly to her brother and best friend.

"just stop. please. i know you are trying to avoid it to make me feels better but its not. i just want to talk to someone who can help." autumn began to tear up.

marjorie and reece ran over instantly to hold her as she sobbed. aut wrapped her arms around marjorie, and reece played with her hair and stroked her back. reece really didnt know what to do. marjorie, however, knew exactly what to do. just let her talk, cry and let out any emotion needed. autumn would have been feeling awful. but marjories job was to make sure she was okay.

"let it all out autumn. tell us everything. we are just here to listen." marjorie soothed her.

unaware to autumn, both of them were sobbing. reeces eyes were red with tears, and marjorie was silently crying her eyes out. the way autumn expressed her greif was heart breaking. any person they would have been able to compose there selves. but because autumn never cries, it felt like they were going through it as well.

"why does it always happen to me." autumn cried.

"aut. you are so strong. seriously, i have never met a person mentally and physically stronger than you. everytime you feel pain, i feel awful. i have only every said this to mum and marjorie. but. i love you." reece replied.

autumn sobbed more, and now marjorie was crying. the way he protected his sister was the cutest thing she had ever seen.

autumn now went to hug reece, and so did marjorie.

------------------------------------------------------------

they all sat on that sofa for an hour straight. marjorie had stopped crying, and so did autumn. they sat waiting for anything to happen. the silence was choking them. something needed to happen, it always did. but nothing. they would just sit there for iternity.

marjorie had to talk. she hated silence, it made her feel uncomfortable. when she was younger, silence was always followed up by screams. the screams of her mother shouting marjorie. always trying to be better than marjorie, yet never could be.

"autumn. i dont care if you reply or dont. but it needs to be said, and you need to believe that it is right. you are an amazing person. anyone who has gone through what you have would have given up a long long time ago. but you didnt. you know why, because you are so so strong." marjorie said.

no one replied. for the rest of that night, they all laid there. holding eachother tight, and not talking. if autumn was going to recover in any way, this was the way. pure silence. silence that was theraputic. silence that would let autumn think about what has happened.

------------------------------------------------------------
