(Marjorie's pov)

3 days. I only have to wait 3 more days. This is going to be awful. I wake up to these thoughts. Reece left 4 days ago. he has had this trip planned for a couple years, it's some stupid thingy, I don't even know, I wasn't paying attention to what it's about. I just focused on the time, a week long, I've got 3 days left.

I slowly drag myself out of bed and get ready for work, knowing I have to walk today, my car broke down yesterday. I grab my umbrella and shove it into my bag, just in case. I set off on my walk, which wasn't too bad, would be better with him though.

I arrive at the nursery and unlock the place, setting up my office when Charlotte walks in.
"Oh hey Marjorie! How are you?" she asks, her happily and bubbly personality showing obviously.
"Ugh don't even." I respond, rolling my eyes. I don't mean to, I just don't want to talk to anyone until Reece is back.
"What's wrong?" she asks, placing her stuff down and walking over to me, where I'm sat in my chair. She grabs Autumn's chair and pulls it over to in front of me, before sitting down.
"You can talk to me." she says gently, softly smiling at me.
"I miss Reece." I mumble out and she cocks her head to the side.
"What? Marjorie I couldn't hear, speak up." she responds and I feel tears in my eyes, it's all a bit much.
"I miss Reece!" I burst out, my voice breaking and tears now streaming down my face.
"Oh Marj." she says, pulling me in for a hug, which I take strongly, holding onto her tight.
"Where has he gone Marjorie?"
"I don't even know. Some stupid place. All I know is it's not here with me, and we haven't been apart this long our entire relationship, and I hate it. I just miss him." I manage to get out between sobs, whilst Char just holds me.

I hear the door open and Autumn walks in, to which I immediately let go of Char and turn around, attempting to wipe the tears away before she sees. She will kill me if she knew I was crying over her brother, she will think it's disgusting, and I can't deal with that today.
"Marjorie?" Autumn questions.
"Autumn.." Char responds, and Autumn slowly catches on, letting out a sigh of realisation and a mix of sympathy.
"Marjorie? Look at me?" she says, and I turn around to now find her sat in front of me, and Char standing off to the side.
"It's okay. I get it. It happened to me the first time Winter went away." she reassures me, when Char jumps back in.
"And me with Mia!"
"We know how you feel. Don't try and hide it." Autumn says, gently taking my hand and giving it a reassuring squeeze.
"Thanks you guys." I respond, a gentle smile appearing across my face.
"It's okay Marjorie. We are here for you. I gotta go before parents arrive, but always message if you need anything." Char pipes up, giving us a smile before walking out.

Autumn looks back over to me, before moving her chair back to her desk.
"Oh I need to give something to Winter." she randomly blurts out, yet only walking out the room with her phone. I raise an eyebrow but ignore it, I don't think I wanna know.

*On the phone*

"Reece." I say, just as I hear the phone pick up.
"What a lovely-" he tried to say, before I interrupt him.
"Are you almost done out there?" I cut in, and I already know he has raised an eyebrow.
"What?" he responds.
"Look, are you almost done with whatever you are doing?"
"Yeah, I finished yesterday evening, I was going to just sightsee today, then come home tomorrow early, to surprise Marj?" he explains and I sigh.
"Aut? Is she okay? Is that why you are calling? Oh my days! Aut??!!" he panics and I just let out a little laugh.
"Autumn?" he says meekly, and I can tell the worry is getting the better of him.
"She misses you Reece. I walked into the office to find her broken in Char's arms, sobbing her heart out. This trip has been difficult for her." I explain and I can hear a zip.
"I'm on my way, I should be there for the end of her shift. Look after her for me little sis. Oh and book the rest of this week off for her, I'm going to spend it at home with her, just comforting her." he says, then hanging up before I can even get a word in.
