A/N: based on when Mia said Marjorie grew up with a silver spoon

"Not everyone grew up with a silver spoon Marjorie" 

Those words lingered in my head, like a line with no end like a sentence with no full stop. After what Mia said I just sat at my desk thinking. Maybe I'm just selfish maybe I did grow up more privileged than I thought, but the thought still lingers in the back of my mind all the things my mum said, was it all real was I over exaggerating? 

I was lost in thought until I heard someone calling my name "Marjorie!" I looked up and to my relief I saw Reece there "huh" I replied, "Marjorie are you ok I was calling your name for ages" Reece said his voice full of concern "Yeah I was just uh-thinking that's all" I said trying to come up with a good enough excuse "ok, we'll are you ready to go?" Reece said not fully convinced but deciding to leave it. "Yeah, let me just lock up and I'll meet you in the car" I said faking a smile

A few minutes later I made my way to the car, my mind still racing with thoughts and unanswered questions. Reece drove to our house, his face was painted with concern. That's what I love about him he was always looking out for others. As we pulled up outside our house he asked me again if I was ok. I just brushed it off and said I was fine. The truth was I wasn't ok. How could Mia say that so easy and just move on, yet hours later I'm still thinking about it, those few simple words hung of a string wrapped around my heart, my shattered heart. As soon as I stepped through the door I felt tears flooding my eyes begging to be released, "I'm going for a shower ok?" I said making my way up the stairs choking on my tears "ok, but we need to talk after ok?" Reece said, my face suddenly fell pale he knew something was wrong. I was not ready to talk about it.

I let the boiling hot water run off my body, it hurt but I wanted it to hurt I wanted it to hurt as much as the words did, I let the tears stream down my face I cried until there was no tears left to cry. I decided I couldn't hide there forever so I got out I felt more ready to talk, of course nothing could ever fully prepare me but it was enough. I put on sweatpants and one of Reece's jumpers, Reece's jumpers always comforted me. I made my way downstairs to find Reece on the couch scrolling on his phone he looked up when he noticed me there he looked up and smiled. I faintly smiled and sat next to him with my head on his chest.

"Gorgeous, I can tell something is wrong it's ok if your not ready to talk but just know I'm here" Reece said playing with my hair. "It's silly I'm probably overreacting" I said looking down "nothing you say is silly your feelings are valid, and I can tell it's destroying you" he said "ok.. well today I had a meeting with Mia and it turned into an argument of course but then she said to me not everyone grew up with a silver spoon. Just because of my last name everyone thinks I had it easy, no one knows how hard it was growing up with a jealous mother and a broken family, my life was perfect until my dad died. After that everything fell apart, and when Mia said that i don't know it was just like a knife to my heart." I said tears streaming down my face chocking over my words, "I'm so sorry gorgeous, I never knew any of that it's so hard to believe you went through that and you are still my happy girl that takes courage" Reece said wiping tears off my face. 

The rest of the night was quiet I fell asleep watching mean girls with Reece, I feel bad piling my trauma onto Reece's since he didn't have the best family either but he said not to worry about it. Even after talking with Reece the voice still lingered like a taunt Marjorie's "silver spoon"
