Mia walked downstairs with Carly behind her. She could hear the sound of sobbing coming from the living room. Mia sighed as she looked back at Carly. "Right, she is crying, so just be ready. If you dont want to come in, I fully understand." She shook her head and held on tightly to Mias hand. "I want to be there for her."
Mia slowly pushed open the door, her eyes immediately falling on her lover. "Charlotte baby... you're okay." she whispered as she watched Charlotte look up at her nervously. "Don't bring Carly in here. She doesn't need to see this," she whispered while quickly wipingher tears and hiding her face, but Carly shook her head. "No, Char, I want to see you. I need a hug from my sister." Carly told her before confidently walking straight over Charlotte and wrapping her arms around her. "Carls, i love you. I'm so so sorry, but please just stay out of the room for a second. I dont want to upset you." Charlotte whispered, but Carly shook her head. "Not yet, please." she mumbled, still holding onto Charlotte tightly.
"Carly, come on. Let's go and make some hot chocolate and you can be in charge of squirty cream and marshmallows." Marjorie whispered before gently pulling Carly out of the room. "I just want to sit with her, please." she whispered to Marjorie as they left the room. Marjorie hummed in response. "Let them have a chat, then you can see Char. She's only trying to protect you from seeing her upset." Marjorie whispered before wrapping her arms around Carly. "She will be okay, dont worry. She has Reece and Mia, so we dont need to worry."
"Mia, I love you so much. I'm so sorry, reece told me about him and everything. I didn't mean to hurt her, really. I love that girl. She is like my sister. I need to see her but not like this." Charlotte whispered, not being able to trust her voice. Mia sat next to Charlotte, wrapping her arms tightly around her girlfriend. "It's okay, baby girl. She will be okay, and i know this isn't you." Mia spoke calmly as Reece left the room.
"Cars, marj they are okay." he started before looking at Carly. "Kiddo, are you feeling better after spending time with Mia?" He asked softly before taking her hand in his own. She let go of his hands before wrapping her arms around him tightly. "I just want to hold her, but she's pushing me away. Reece, I'm scared I've upset her." Carly mumbled into his chest. Reece held the young girl. "She's crying to Mia right now, so when she's done, we can see her, but for now, i think we need to let them be." He whispered before looking at Marjorie, reaching a hand out to her. She stood behind Carly before joining in the hug.
"We've got you kiddo no matter what." Reece whispered as the kitchen door opened. "When you three are quite done. Char won't stop asking for Carly and honestly i might have to sit on her if i hear your name one more time." Mia piped up, both Marjorie and Reece let go of her. "Go find her." Marjorie whispered before Carly practically ran into the living room. "Char!" she whispered before sitting near her on the couch. "Oh Carly, come here, please. I really am sorry. Omg i never meant for this to happen. I love you, you are my little sister." She sobbed before pulling Carly into her chest, holding onto her for dear life. "Charlotte, let her breathe at least." Mia giggled from the doorway as she watched the both of them. "Oh shit. Sorry, im so sorry." She whispered before relaxing slightly, playing with the ends of Carlys hair. "I love you, Char, and i know im just a kid as reece would say, but i really want to help you, so no matter what, you can come to me." she whispered before hiding her head in Charlottes neck. "Thank you." Charlotte whispered as she rocked them both gently. "Hey, Carly. Shhh, it's okay. We are all here, shhh ive got you." Charlotte whispered, feeling tears land on her neck.
"Carly, what's wrong?" Mia asked quietly as she sat the other side of her. "N-nothing," she mumbled while trying to stop the tears. "I will get Marjorie and Reece in here." Mia warned, but Carly shook her head. "Talk to us then." "Amelia! You can't force her like that." Charlotte scolded. "Char, she's fine. I heard that Mia was my age when well, everything started and i feel bad for her and i wish i could help you more, but because i dont know how to, i ended up getting hurt and then everyone shouted at you but its not your fault. I pushed you when we were in the staff room, and i tried to hold your hand earlier. I should know that's not going to help relax you in those situations." Carly got out in one breath before breaking down again.
Charlotte held her close to her chest. "No, you are okay. You have done so well, sweetie. Come on, dont beat yourself up shh." Charlotte whispered. "Oi kiddo, dont you dare go blaming yourself or feeling bad for Mia. It might not have been easy for her, but at least she turned out okay. Look at her looking after you." Reece piped up as he pushed Mias shoulder slightly. She kicked him back. "Good god, I will never understand you two." Marjorie muttered, shaking her head. "See, no one is angry at anyone. Sure, Mia has her anger issues, so she snapped at everyone today, but that's just her." Marjorie said softly before walking closer to Charlotte, sitting next to her while Mia and Reece bickered amongst each other. "I love you guys," Charlotte whispered while holding onto Carly and laughing at Mia. "We all love you too, char. It will end in tears with these two. One of them will take it too far, " Marjorie whispered as they watched closely.
"Carly is a minor. Stop swearing in front of her."
"That's rich coming from you. She heard your half of the phone call. I've heard Marjories' side, so god knows how traumatised that girl is."
With that reece stopped. "Mia, this isn't over. But oh Carly, im so so sorry." He whispered, clearly embarrassed. "Reece, it's fine, dont worry about it. At least i know you love each other." she told him, making everyone laugh, reece rolled his eyes before pushing Mia back, she stumbled back, landing on the floor. "Reece!" Marjorie shouted at him before moving and pulling Mia up. "This stops now, both of you!" she warned, looking between Mia and Reece.
"Im okay dont worry, i promise im okay." Mia spoke calmly before moving to sit with Charlotte. "Has your ego been bruised again?" Carly asked softly, earning a glare from Mia.
"Reece, kitchen now!" Marjorie spoke sternly as she followed him out of the room. "Baby, what's wrong?" He asked calmly, Marjorie glared at him with her arms folded over her chest.
