Marjoreece one shots

Living with the ribbon🥀

A/N: hi as you know I have a lot of things on my mind right now so I wanted to write a sort of vent of what's going on in my life at the moment ( this isn't very marjoreece btw😭 )

TW: cancer, sad, MH

Marjorie's POV

It was an ordinary morning at nursery except I was working in the rooms, I was doing morning handover when one of the parents came in they looked all distraught. They looked like they had no sleep and they looked like they had been crying for hours. I immediately knew something was off, she knew I was concerned so she just dropped off 1 kids off and left. I found it strange as she has 2 that go here but didn't really pay much attention to it.

———————————-

A few hours later the kids were doing an activity. All except 1, Lilly was sat in the corner alone, not the normal energetic happy Lilly I know I decided to go ask char about it. "Hey char, do you know why Lilly is in the corner. It's not like her also her brother isn't here today? Do you know anything about it?" I said my voice laced with concern. "No actually she's been different all morning, I was also wondering why her brother didn't come in today" she said still focused on the kids "I'm going to go talk to her I have a feeling somethings off"

 with that I walked over to Lilly careful not to alarm her I sat next to her and spoke in a soft voice "hey, your acting a bit different today is everything ok" she looked up at me her eyes red and glossy she just shook her head "is it something to do with your brother?" She just nodded and looked at the floor "would you like to tell me what happened?" I said, my heart ached for her "He's really sick, he's been in hospital all weekend and mummy won't tell me what's wrong. I'm scared" she spoke well for her  age I was impressed, all swallowed by the sorrow I felt. I knew that if her mum wasn't telling her anything it was bad. "It's ok darling I'm sure everything is fine why don't you go join the others and I'll be back." She nodded and went to go join the other kids.

I went into the office and got out the book of all the parents phone numbers, I found Lilly's mums number and rang it sitting down sighing. After a few rings she picked up "Hey, this is Marjorie from the nursery I have a few things I just want to mention" I said in a concerned voice. "sure, what's wrong" she said, there was something off with her voice it was more tiered and drained. "I just wanted to let you know I found Lilly in the corner alone and I went to talk to her, she said Ethan is in hospital and she's concerned because you won't tell her anything so I was just wondering what is going on that you won't tell her" I said "well, it's hard to explain how her brother has cancer, I'm sorry I didn't tell you I have been really busy just trying to keep 2 happy kids knowing one is fighting everyday." At that last sentence she broke down, after some silence I decided to speak "you know, I could tell Lilly for you it's hard to explain. It is important she understands, if that's ok with you?" "Please, that would be perfect" "and um how are you doing through this I mean it's not easy." I said "I'm just trying to stay strong" she said clearly not holding up well "alright we'll I'm here if you need all the staff have your back as well so if you need we are 1 phone call away" " thank you so much Marjorie" "its fine honestly" we spoke a little more then I had to go find a way to tell a 3 year old her best friend has a deadly illness.

I walked back into the room and saw Lilly in the corner again so I went up to her and sat next to her like I did before. "Hey Lilly I was just talking to your mum and I found out what's going on." Lilly's face lit up, her beautiful smile back. Only having to rip it right off again. " I need you to listen ok. Your brother has this illness called cancer. It's not like most sicknesses it takes months to cure it and your brother won't be home much." I said starting to tear up "will he get better again?" She said in an innocent voice "i hope so. I really hope so" I hugged her seeing tears falling from her eyes to. 

Nobody knows what to say,Try to carry on as if it's just another day. 

 Things will be alright,One day this horror will be out of sight. 

 Just try to keep it together, don't let them see you cry,Things are sure to get better as time goes flying by. 

 But nobody knows what you feel,You feel like your spinning like a speeding bicycle wheel.

 You feel like you cannot even get out of bed,Others say, come on be brave it's all just inside your head. 

 But they don't know the feeling that it should have been me,My brother was faultless, he just deserved to be.

 Was it all my fault, am I to blame?It just goes around in my head, just filling me with shame.That horrible thing that took over him to early,Hangs over everything, like a dense dark, terrible cloud. 

 But we all have to keep our chins up and make things seem good,So, he has a happy life just like he deserves.

A/N: ok I'm crying now😭 I might touch on this in chapters going forward❤️ If you reached the end thanks for reading, cancer isn't a joke it takes lives and impacts many people around it. It truly destroys you watching a family member suffer with it. I'm so sorry if you are impacted with it just know you aren't alone❤️ (Not proofread)
