TW: panic attacks
(Reece's pov)
It is my lunch break, I've sent Carly out with some money, to grab our usual meal deals. I phone Marjorie's nursery.
*On the phone*
Reece (R)- Hey gorgeous.
Autumn (A) - Yuck. That's how you phone her.
R - Aut?
A - Yes dummy. Why are you phoning? I swear if you need someone to cover, I will kill you.
R - No I don't need to borrow staff. Why are you answering?
A - Marjorie is in the bathroom. All though she has been gone a while. Maybe like 30-40 minutes.
R - Check on her. That's worrying.
A - I can't leave the office. We have no spare staff, and one of us always has to be in the office. What are you doing?
R - Getting my keys, I'm coming. Delilah, keep the nursery under control. See you in a minute Aut.I hang up, and rush outside to my car, speeding out the car park. The 15 minute drive is feeling like 15 hours. I shouldn't be worrying. Marjorie is a full grown adult woman, she can take care of herself.
I finally arrive at her nursery. I run out the car and sprint to the office.
"Aut I'm here." I pop my head round the door, before running out, not waiting for her answer.I make my way to the bathroom, knocking on the door. "Marjorie?" I get out, trying to hide the panic.
"R-R-Reece?" I hear her respond, her voice trembling.
"Are you alone?" I ask.
"Y-yes, p-please R-Reece."
I burst through the door, finding Marjorie in pieces, pressed up against the wall, knees up by her chest, tears running down her face and her hands placed across her chest, her breathing quickening.
I crouch down in front of her, and I reach my hands out, not touching her, but waiting for her to come to me.
She brings her hands to mine, holding them.
"Hey gorgeous, can you breathe with me? In, hold... and out. Good, well done." I gently talk to her, watching as she copies my breathing, her eyes not moving off of mine.We breathe together for a few more minutes, until her breathing slows and returns to a normal pace.
"Hey." I say softly, gently wiping her tear-soaked cheeks.
"I-I-I don't know w-what-" she starts to say but I just shake my head.
"It's okay. We can talk about it later. We don't have to talk about it now. Let's get you off the bathroom floor?" I say, and she nods, placing her hands around my neck. I lift her up and pull her legs around my waist, carrying her out of the bathroom.
"Do you want to stay in work, or go home baby?"
"Aut." she mumbles into my shoulder, so I take her there. I place her down at the door, and watch at Autumn stands up.Marjorie turns to face her, and Autumn nods. Marjorie runs to her and throws her arms around her, sobbing into her. Autumn, even though she hates physical touch, wraps her arms around her, holding her.
They stand there for a few minutes, before Marjorie releases the hug, and looks at Autumn.
"Thanks.", is all she manages to get out.
"It's okay. I know you needed it. Go home. I think you need to."
"I can't. I can't leave. I need to stay. Reece?" she says, turning to me.
"Baby, I'm here for whatever you want to do. Just please, don't push yourself." I tell her and she nods.
"Thanks, I think I want to stay here for now. I can't face going home, I need a distraction. Do you have to go?" she asks, walking over to me and grabbing my hand, fiddling around with it.
"I can stay, if that's okay?" I question, looking to Aut.
"I guess, only for Marjorie though." she says, rolling her eyes and sitting back down, a small smile appearing on her face.
"Thanks, where do you want me baby?" I say, turning back to Marjorie and gently kissing her cheek.
"Here with me." she responds, grabbing both hands and pulling me over to her chair, gently pushing me on it, before climbing into my lap.
"Perfect." she says, snuggling into me, her head resting on my shoulder.
"Gorgeous you do have to do work, remember." I tell her, she will definitely kill me tomorrow if I don't make her.
"Later, for now I just want you, here with me." she mumbles into me, and then her breathing slows, and she falls asleep.
