Broken but not shattered

Chapter 13

Marjorie's POV

I saw Vivian come back down the stairs. She had just gone up to check on Siobhan It was a little odd she was back so quickly, but then I realized why when she came in and said "She's gone".  I couldn't fathom what she was saying Siobhan was there just a few hours ago. I was about to question it when Reece beat me to it "What do you mean she's gone" 

"She isn't here. She left." Vivian said as she collapsed to the floor crying. I was the first to jump up and run to her. I threw my arms around her and she fell farther into my lap. Vivian spoke again through the sobs "How could she just leave? How could she go back?"  

"My love, we don't know where she went. You don't know if she went back" I tried to reassure her, but we all knew since she left without telling anyone it was because she went back to back to him. I looked over at Autumn and Reece both of them in shock. I continue to rock Vivian back and forth trying to calm her down. 

"My love, why don't we go upstairs?" I asked hoping to get her away from the situation. She gave a small nod, so I gently got her up and headed for the stairs stopping briefly and looking over at Autumn giving her a nod to follow me. 

We made it to my room and I lay her down on the bed, I didn't think it was a good idea to put her in Siobhan's room right now. I looked at her and said "I'll be right back" and I walked outside with Autumn and shut the door so Vivian couldn't hear me. 

"Ok, we need to find her course if she did go back to him he will kill her. We can't let that happen." I said. 

"We'll find her Marjorie, you just take care of Vivian right now, you two can come to join us when she is ready. Also, I'm calling Winter, Sorscha, Charlotte, and Mia we need as much help as we can get," she said. I gave her a nod and I went back into the room.

Vivian sat against the head bored still crying. I sat next to her "My love, she will be fine" I said, but at this point, I didn't know who I was trying to convince me or her. She looked at me taking a deep breath before saying "Marjorie, you are I both know she went back to Roger, and we both know he will torment and abuse her before killing her" She paused "I can't let that happen. I have to get to her." She tried to get up, I gently put my hand on her shoulder saying "You are not doing anything. You go off on your own you will get yourself killed". 

She cut me off "I don't care, Marjorie, I love her and I will not let that man lay a hand on her". I put my hand up and continued "As I was saying you are not doing anything, but we will get her back. Autumn is already making calls and everyone will be here any minute. We will get her away for Roger, but we have to be smart about it or we could put her in more danger" I finished. 

"You're not giving up on her?" she questioned in disbelief. 

"No, my love, we might not be on even ground right now, but I still care about her," I said. Just then we heard the doorbell ring. "You ready to go back down?" I asked standing up and putting out my hand for her to take. She nods and grabs my hand.

We head downstairs and when we turn the corner to the living room we see Autumn and Reece standing at the front of the room Winter, Sorscha, and Mia are on the couch and Charlotte is sitting on Mia's lap. Autumn was explaining the situation when she noticed me and Vivian.

"I was just filling them in. How are you, Vivian?" Autumn stopped talking to the group and asked Vivian. This caused everyone to turn to us, and I guess she hadn't gotten to the part about Vivian cause the four that just joined us looked very confused as to why a parent was here. 

Vivian ignored the others and answered Autumn "I'll be better when Siobhan is safe" With that, I joined Reece at the front, and Vivian sat in the armchair.
