Reece & Autumn's Life

Chapter 4

Growing up in the Knight Mansion was really difficult for Reece and Autumn. Arguments were stirred up nearly everyday between the both of them and the abuse from Roger came even more harsher; mostly to Autumn. There were some days where the house was dead silent all day with nobody talking and other days where it was chaotic with about 3 arguments at the same time. Some days, Reece and Autumn would starve themselves and self harm because of the arguments and this made it worse for Reece's eating disorder.

Reece grew up hating food. He had to pick the right foods that had the right amount of g of whatever in. Because Roger hated them both, this made it so much harder for Reece to eat and he was always really skinny. When Reece finished school, he tried to make his life easier for himself by going to the gym and starting to try and eat properly. He was always bullied in school for how skinny he was and this made him super uncomfortable everywhere. In the changing rooms for P.E., at swimming and even in the summer where he would wear a hoodie all the time to cover his body. He hated the way he looked and was always super insecure. And to top it off, there was nobody there to help him after the argument between him and his sister. He hated himself for it and always tried to help build his relationship back but it would always tumble back over as soon as he tried.

Autumn went through an emo phase and this lasted for years. She rotted in her room from 12am one day till 12am the next. She only came out for either the bathroom or something to eat which she normally did at night so nobody could see her or talk to her. She isolated herself from everybody and went completely mute.

One night, Reece thought of something. He thought that if he moved out everything would go back to normal for Autumn because he hated seeing her this way. However, he couldn't bring himself to do it as he knew what monster Roger was and how he dug his claws into her. He was stuck, he didn't know what to do.

One day, he tried to actually speak to her.
"Hey Aut" said Reece.
"What you disgusting piece of shit" replied Autumn. "And don't call me that ever again"
"I know you're mad but can you just listen to me" said Reece.
"If you want me to forgive you then fuck off because it ain't happening after what you did" replied Autumn.
"I don't want you to forgive me but if you'll just let me come in, I can explain myself" said Reece.
"Fine but you only have 2 minutes then never speak to me again" replied Autumn.
"Thank you" Reece said as he opened the door.

Autumns room was a mess. There were clothes and dishes and cups everywhere. He also noticed the bruises and marks where Roger used to slap her round the face.
"What are you looking at?" said Autumns disgustingly.
"Oh- um nothing. Aut. I mean Autumn, i promise to the depth of my heart that it wasn't me that put them flowers there. I just saw them on the doorstep and as i picked them up to put in the bin, you opened the door and immediately thought it was me. I was just there in the wrong place at the wrong time" said Reece.
Autumn interrupted, "So you've just came in here to have a go at me. Oh fuck off and don't speak to me ever again."
"Aut please." said Reece.
"I TOLD YOU NEVER TO CALL ME THAT NAME AGAIN" shouted Autumn.
"Okay I'm sorry" replied Reece.
"NOW GET OUT BEFORE I DRAG YOU OUT AND SEND YOU TO HOSPITAL AGAIN YOU STUPID CUNT" screamed Autumn.
"Okay i'll get out but just remember what i said" replied Reece.
"Whatever just leave me alone and never speak to me again" said Autumn now crying.

From this day forward, Reece and Autumn never spoke or even looked at each other again.
