Reach out for me - TNN Story

Chapter 39 - Pulling Heartstrings

A/N - There will be mentions of the miscarriage and guilt shaming in this chapter. Followed by just pure obnoxiousness is all that I can describe it as. Or rude you could say?
Who will be the one to stop the madness?
(Someone surprising if you've been reading)
Omg this made me cry a bit writing the ending
————— In The Knight Nursery —————

After the chaos calmed down from parent after parent either guilting her or shaming her, Maeve felt a small wave of worry dust off her shoulders. They were all stood in the preschool room after hours all talking amongst themselves, Autumn and the other staff except Carly(Poor Carly honestly) were talking and invited Maeve out to have a couple drinks and a break from all the nursery drama. "So it would be nice if we just all went out and enjoyed ourselves" Sorscha smiled warmly at Maeve, the others trailed along too.

Looking to Charlotte and Mia they both smiled, "Sweetheart we're going with you, we wouldn't leave you out" Mia giggled as she placed her arms around Maeve's shoulders. "...Okay okay.. I'll go but I'll need to drink strong... which means now you'll be our driver~" Maeve smiled.

That had been the first time they saw her smile all day and they were glad they caught it.

They were all caught up in laughter and talking about past stories of different people being drunk, that they didn't hear the door open. As the footsteps dared closer, Marjorie stopped her giggles and listened, "Carly my love, I think your mum is here, I'll just let her come through and then you can go home then, alright love?" Marjorie smiled when she turned around to a displeased Carly turned to her, staring at her freckles on her nose, "Awwww..I don't want to go home.. wait you two have the same freckles?!" Carly looked between Marjorie and Maeve, trying to desperately stall any time she had to go home, she was having so much full hearing gossip on Reece. "My love your mum's here, stop changing the subject.." Marjorie flashed a cheeky grin and turned on her heels as she headed for the door.

As she approached the door, the figure in her eyeshot made her grin drop. "Mum what are you doing here?" Marjorie laughed softly, "You could have messaged me and I would have answered" she trailed off. Laura looked over to Marjorie and smiled, "Oh my love, look how pretty you are. No I'm here to see Maeve.... We need a chat" Laura stood up straight in black heels and tight bodied dress, that displayed every inch of her body to see. Jewellery neatly cluttered on her body.

"..your dress is nice" Marjorie looked her up and down, "Only Nice Marjorie? It's vintage it's exquisite!" Laura fired neatening her dress.

Laura sighed trying to look past Marjorie, she could see a distorted image of Maeve in the doorway giggling her face off. Releasing from the hunched position, as she slowly uncoiled her body Maeve's eyes were stabbed with Laura's volatile stare. "Can I see her? It's.. important" she taunted as Maeve hurried back into the room behind Mia, Charlotte and Autumn. She hadn't explained anything but it was going down.

"You wouldn't want to... upset your own mother would you Marjorie? Think of all the things I do for you and you won't simply let me talk to you sister? That's very rude don't you think?" Her words were poison when she listened, even if she didn't want to. "Yes mum... this way..." Marjorie regretted those words as she walked her down.

Creeping closer and closer Maeve felt her stomach coil and her brain become mush.
What was she doing here? What does she even want from me? Will she leave? - is all that crept into her mind as they were in the room. Mia and Charlotte opened out and had their backs now turned to the door, checking in with Maeve.

"Sorry Carly false alarm... it's not your mum" Marjorie nervously trailed into the room as the stabs of a heel slammed about on the carpet.

Her mind froze.
