Reece truly loved his sister. They were and are now again best friends. Well, that might be history now.
"Little sis! I-" Reece starts to say, but is interrupted.
"Get out. Now." Autumn's face and no expression. Her voice sounded cold and emotionless.
The room was silent, except from Marjorie's quiet sobs.
"Aut, please!" Reece starts to go up to his sister.
"Did you not hear me?" She looks up to him. "I said GET OUT. Now." Autumn raises her voice which startles Reece and Marjorie.
Without saying anything, Reece walks past Autumn and out of the front door to his car. She watches as he opens the door to his car, and drives away. After he was gone, she turned to Marjorie. She hated to admit it, but seeing Marjorie like this made her feel upset.
"I'm sorry." Marjorie says as she collapses against the wall, tears falling from her as if her eyes are taps. She pulled her legs to her chest and puts her arms around them.
Autumn quickly walked to Marjorie and sat down beside her, not too close but close enough.
There was a short silence.
"I saw what happened." Autumn said, breaking the silence.
"It was my fault." At this point, Marjorie was forcefully holding back tears.
"No, it's not. My brother was in the wrong."
Autumn remembered what it was like on prom night. How heartbroken she was. She knew she had to help Marjorie. She couldn't just sit there and feel like she was helpless.
"Marjorie?"
Marjorie lifted her head up and looked at Autumn who was still sat next to her. She had her arms open, ready to embrace Marjorie. Autumn also knew that Marjorie loves hugs, even if she doesn't.
Marjorie falls into Autumn and starts sobbing again.
"It's going to be okay." Autumn speaks as softly as she can, whilst stroking Marjorie hair in attempt to comfort her. "I'll make him pay. He won't dare to do this to another woman again."
Marjorie looks at Autumn. "Autumn, please don't do anything.. too extreme?"
"No promises." Autumn slightly smirks.
Marjorie gets up and realises the broken vase is still on the floor. "I'm sorry, I know you don't like hugs. I shouldn't have-"
Autumn cuts her off. "Marjorie, don't be stupid. I offered."
"Well, I need to clean this up." Marjorie looks down at the sharp pieces on the floor. "Can't risk anyone else getting hurt."
"I'll clean it up for you." Autumn says. "I need to distract myself because if I don't, I'm going to end up killing a certain someone." She walks away to get a brush and a pan.
"Autumn, there is something else too." Marjorie quickly speaks before Autumn leaves the room.
"Hmm?"
"I'm pregnant." She blurts out.
Autumn freezes and slowly turns around, facing Marjorie.
