TW : panic attacks
All I needed was you.
Marjories pov :
I was on my way home from work,Reece had the later shift so he couldn't pick me up. All day I had parents coming into my office shouting at me. I really didn't like them at all. Autumn was there and she helped a lot but I couldn't even have a lunch alone,aut wasn't there for lunch as she went out with winter so I had a full hour of parents blabbering on and on about what my staff members were doing wrong,really I don't care what they say because I know my staff are better then whatever they say.
All I wanted was to be held in reeces arms, I was so angry at him for being on the late shift,it really wasn't his fault but I was so angry at him. Just breathe Marjorie,breathe.
Reeces pov:
I was sat in the last 30 minutes of work, it was 7pm the nursery shut 30 minutes ago. I could just leave,I was all alone. Today was terrible I really didn't know how I was dealing with this. For the first time in weeks I just wanted to sob into Marjorie's arms. The parents insulted me all day, I know it shouldn't have affected me but it did and everything they said was replaying in my mind. I knew I wasn't overweight but then again they wouldn't lie? I'm a man for godsake why was that affecting me. My mind was filled with thoughts. People have worse than this I'm fine. I knew I wasn't but either way,il always be 'fine.'
As soon at it was 7:30 I practically jumped in my car. I started tearing up so I had to pull over. I just sat there and after 5 minutes I was pulling into the driveway. My girls car is there i can speak to her about everything.
"Hey you," I said trying to hide the fact my voice was about to break.
"What." She replied,no emotion in her voice at all. "You okay?" And she just nods.
As soon as I start speaking,she just shouts "leave me alone reece!" I was just shocked. I did nothing but I knew something was wrong with her. "Marjorie.?" I say my voice breaking. She picks up the keys and says, "Reece no,I've had enough I told you to leave me alone and here you are talking to me,I'll come back later I've had enough!" As she storms out the house. I just stare. Shes gonna be back soon I knew it. I don't have any other ways to deal with everything but I don't wanna go back to my old self. I get up and go to the kitchen,there it was.
I get the bottle out from the fridge and pour myself a glass. I knew I wouldn't drink enough to be drunk but I would drink atleast half the bottle. It's a lot for most but I used to struggle with a drinking problem,I was never like my father all I did was drink it when I needed to stop all the pain. All of a sudden my leg shook up and down rapidly,my breath was shaky but fast and I tried but couldn't breathe. My chest grew tighter and now I was in pain,all I need is Marjorie but Aut was probably with her and char had her kids today. I had no one to call. I never did. I was always alone,I wasn't close to anyone like Marjorie was. The only person who would help was Mia.
I couldn't help myself and instantly phoned Mia. "Reecey,what a surprise! What do you need" she said over the phone.
"Mia,help?" I said through shaky breathes.
"I'm on my way handsome,hold on tight for me okay?"
I hated when she called me handsome but she always did it, only because she knows it pisses me off but now she just doesn't care, no matter what's happening she will call me it. It also will always annoy me. It was always her teasing me because thats what she called me since we was together 23 years ago, and obviously she's a lesbian so she knows I hate that nickname now.
I heard the front door open and someone calling my name, it was Mia, "reecey?"
And then she walked in. She took my hands and I followed her breathing, my breathing slowed down but no matter how much I tried my leg wasn't going to stop bouncing. "Reecey what happened? You look terrible"
She wasnt wrong, my hair was a mess,my eyes were bloodshot red and my cheeks were all blotchy.
"Marjorie,she left me Mia, I can't do this without her." I started crying. I needed my girl right now.
Marjories PoV:
(This is while Reece is having a panic attack)
I left 5 minutes ago, I didn't mean to snap at him. I arrived at autumns in tears and she answered the door,luckily winter was with his parents this week. "Hey hey, marj what's wrong,"
"Aut I left him,I need him aut." She pulled me into an embrace. "Marj after your day at work I'm going to assume you've lashed out at Reece," I nod, "and it wasn't your fault it was the parents I promise,when you get home please talk to him,he loves you so much and you do to I promise you it is not your fault okay,please don't blame yourself these things happen."
I smile at her, "thank you so much aut, I know you probably miss winter but Charlotte has the kids and Mia doesn't like me a lot so I came here." She rubbed my back in an attempt to comfort me. It worked,the guard dog cared about me. I always knew she did but her showing it warmed my heart. "Marj,do you want to watch a movie,I know you need to calm down and I'm not letting you leave because it will happen again,I also need the company of my bestfriend for atleast an hour or two"
My eyes light up,aut wants to watch a movie? I smile and nod as aut gets snacks,I just sit her snuggled in the blanket I brought,it was in the living room while I passed so I grabbed in and shoved it in my car, it smelt of Reece. After a while the movie finished. "Thank you aut,how's-" I was cut off by Mia ringing me. Why would Mia be ringing me? "Mia."
"Marjorie,get here now. It's reece"
My eyes widen in shock and I hug aut goodbye and rush out of the house. Around 10 minutes later I'm finally here. "Mia?" I shout out. "Marjorie hes in the kitchen,please look after him." I nod and she leaves.
I walk into the kitchen and see my beautiful boy having a panic attack, "Reece?" He looks at me and immediately put his head in his hands,his breathing getting quicker. I put my hand on his back and I can feel hes shaking. "breathe my boy,I'm here."
After a while his breathing stopped and hes only shaking ever so slightly. "Reece?" I say softly, "what's wrong?"
"I missed you Marjorie,why did you come back? I don't deserve you,you deserve someone better than me." His voice breaking.
"Reece no! I love you so much your the best thing that's ever happened to me, I was always going to come back I needed some time alone,I had a terrible day at work and I shouldn't of took it out on you." He just smiles at me weakly. "Marjorie,thank you. All I needed was you."
"And all I needed was you." I reply smiling. All we need is eachother🖤
