I wake up to Reece's alarm. He hasn't woken up yet, so I reach across and shut it off, admiring him below me.
I gently kiss him, and his eye flutter open.
"Morning sleepy head." I say, a big smile plastered across my face.
"Already?" is all he responds with, as I climb off the bed.
"Yeah baby. We gotta get to work, I'm going to go downstairs, you coming?"
"I'll be there in a minute." he responds, closing his eyes again.
"Please don't fall asleep again, you can't be late like yesterday baby." I tell him, making my way downstairs.

I start cleaning the kitchen, packing away the dishwasher. I thought it might be easier for Reece to move around this place if it's clean. I mean there is no way I can cook, the last time I tried I burnt it. It was soup.
I manage to clean the whole kitchen, which takes me a good 15-20 minutes, and yet Reece still hasn't come downstairs.
I head back up to find him still in bed, but this time curled up into a ball.
"Baby?" I question, yet he doesn't move or respond. "Reece?"
"Leave." he says quietly, if I wasn't listening for an answer, I wouldn't have heard it.
"Are you okay?" I question, moving over to his side of the bed. I stand in front of him, looking down at him, finally able to see the few tears rolling down his cheek.
"I said leave." he says, louder now.
"I can't leave you like this darling. Can I come sit?" I say, and he hesitates, but nods.
"Okay my love." I walk to my side of the bed, and climb in, sitting up against the headboard, looking over at Reece, as he rolls over to face me. "Come here." I say, and he practically jumps into my open arms.
I hold him, his head on my chest and his arms wrapped around me, as he lets out sobs.
"It's okay. I've got you. Let it out. I'm not going anywhere." I reassure him, and feel his grip on me tighten.

After a short while, he seems to have calmed, as his sobs have turned into small sniffles.
"Hey my love." I say softly, gently lifting his head up to look at me.
"Sorry baby. That must have been so weird." he apologises but I shake my head.
"No don't apologise. You are allowed to feel darling. I'll always be here for you, remember that. You wanna talk about it?" I ask, and he nods, sitting up slightly, lifting his head off me, so it's easier for him to talk.
"I don't really know. Well I do but." he stops, I look to him and kiss his cheek.
"Take all the time you need. I'm not here to judge you, I love you no matter what." I reassure him, and see him visibly relax.

I decide to tell her everything.
"Well recently I've been struggling. I have tried to hide it, but today it feels so heavy. It's nothing specific really, well. I struggled a lot when I was a teenager with depression, and obviously my eating disorder didn't help. So I would spend a lot of my time sleeping, or just laying in bed, too exhausted to move. And I think I'm going through it again, everything feels so heavy, something so simple feels ten times harder, and I haven't helped myself by not talking to anyone. I think I just wanted to try and be the person who isn't struggling, because I fought so hard to get out of that mental space, I don't want to be back in it." I explain, letting the tears fall, it is safe to do so.

"Oh my love." Marjorie says, gently kissing my cheek again. "I'm so sorry. You are allowed to feel, and I know how it feels. I'm sorry you are going through it again, but unlike when you were younger, I'm here. I'm never going to be scared away," she says, pointing to the ring on her finger, I let out a small laugh, "I'm here for you, and I'm here to stay, so if you are feeling like this, I want to know. Because I can help." she finishes, placing another kiss on my face.
"I know baby." I say faintly, looking down, almost embarrassed.
"Hey don't." she says, lifting my face to look at her. "How about we have a day off? A reset day? No worries at all, I'll treat you. Would that help?" she asks, and I nod.
"I'd love that." I reply, leaning in and kissing her.
"Good. However, I need to pop to the shops, get some snacks and treats in. You want to come with? It's okay if not." she says, and I think for a moment.
"I don't want to be alone." I respond, and she nods.
"Okay. I'm just going to chuck some sweats on. Do you want me to grab you some?" she asks, to which I nod. "Okay baby, won't be a minute."
She grabs them, chucking mine over to me, whilst she gets into hers, sliding a nice fitting top on, it hugs all her curves just right.
"You look phenomenal." I say, and watch as her cheeks turn rosy.
"Reeceeee." she says, very embarrassed and looking down.
"Hey you are fucking gorgeous. Don't be embarrassed." I say, walking over to her, and lifting her chin up, kissing her.
"Okay. Okay. Let's go get the snacks now." she breaks from the kiss, grabbing my hand and pulling me down the stairs.
