Broken but not shattered

Chapter 10

Marjorie's POV

Siobhan had just left, and I was about to wake up Reece to go get Siobhan's car when Autumn walked in. "Oh Autumn, Perfect timing. I was about to go get Reece, but since you're up. We need to go to the bar and get Siobhan's car. Also, we are going to need to take Reece's car. Siobhan has mine."

She looked puzzled. "What do you mean? Where's Siobhan? And why does she have your car?"

I didn't want to tell Siobhan's business, so I tried to evade the question."She had to go somewhere, and so I let her use my car since she didn't have hers."

"So why didn't you just take her to her car first? And where is Vivian, cause based on last night I didn't think she would be leaving her side anytime soon."

Damn, Reece would have just let it go, but not Autumn. "Well, Vivian left early this morning" was all I was able to get out before Autumn interrupted. "Oh, I see. let me guess Siobhan freaked out and said something that made Vivian leave, Siobhan realized the mistake she made and ran after her only to realize she didn't have her car, so you offered her your car and told her we would go get her car." She paused. "Did I get I correct?" She smirked at me

"God, how did you get that from 'Well, Vivian left early this morning. '" I asked my jaw on the floor. She was scary good at observing the situation, even when she barely knows what's going on.

"Well, based on what you said last night about the two, I figured something was going on between the two, but knowing Siobhan, it probably freaked her out. So I figured after Vivian left cause of whatever Siobhan said you talked her into going after her and since I only saw your car and Vivian's when I and Reece pulled up I assumed Vivian was the one that drove Siobhan, So naturally not being able to resist a good love story you offered your car." She explained so calmly like it was common sense.

"Wow, ok, I don't even know what to say to that. Let's just go get her car." I say dumbfounded

"Shouldn't we get Reece?" Autumn asked

"No, I want to let him sleep. he was having a hard time sleeping after everything that happened last night. If I was not cuddled up next to him, he would toss and turn, and even when I was, I could tell he was having bad dreams. We can handle it." I say to her, and she nods as we walk downstairs.

We get to the car, and Autumn starts driving to the bar. The first few minutes are silent till I break the silence. "I wonder how Siobhan is doing. After Vivian left this morning, she looked like she had lost a piece of her soul. I had never seen her like that. Not even after I picked her up from the bar the other night and I found out what was happening to her."

"She will be ok," Autumn simply stated

"You are very confident about that" 

"Well, after what she has survived, she can handle anything. On top of that fact, she has you in her corner. I know you guys haven't been close for a long time, but I know you never stopped caring for her." Autumn said glancing at me

"Wait, how did you know me and her used to be close? That was way before you ever started at the nursery," I questioned. How could she possibly know about that? The only one who has been there long enough to know that is Charlotte. Did she tell Autumn? But why would she?

"Well, I kinda put two and two together. After my father and Siobhan got together, I would have to see her occasionally. We would make idle chitchat, and she had made a few comments about when she first started at the nursery but never gave me names. Then when I started at the nursery, there was one time I was talking to Charlotte about a parent when Siobhan pushed by us, and she made a comment saying, 'Good, I miss when you and her got along cause she was so much nicer. ' I don't think she even realized she said it 'cause she just went back to the conversation at hand." Autumn finished explaining as we pulled up to the bar.
