If Mia was too late part 2

TW: Mention of suicide

Mia sat there, she knew Reece was right, she knew it was bad, but she couldn't help it. She felt guilty. So fucking guilty. She couldn't stop her love. "I wish it was me." Mia barely mumbled out, but loud enough for the siblings to hear. They both turned to her. "Amelia Roberts, don't you dare!" Autumn got ready to shout but was quickly shut down by her husband. Winter took her out to breathe, as did Marjorie. The worst choice of their lives. They heard a whack come from inside. They rushed in, seeing Reece mounted on top of Mia, his arm raised. Marjorie quickly rushed over, not quick enough though, for Reece landed another punch on Mia, before getting dragged off by Winter and Marjorie, but that let Autumn free, who quickly squared up with Mia. Eventually, they heard a gasp, but it didn't sound like the doctor. No, this was more of a groggy, just awoken, light gasp. Mia, who was still on the floor, looked towards the bed. Autumn, who was being held back by Winter, and Reece, who was being held back by Marjorie, followed Mia's gaze. "What... what happened?" Charlotte looked around, confused. "Baby!?" Mia quickly got up and rushed by Charlotte's side, pushing all her pain away. Charlotte saw Mia and started to cry. She remembered it. She remembered jumping and leaving everyone behind. Mia pulled her in for a hug, letting Charlotte sob into Mia's shoulder. Reece and Winter went to get the doctor, while Marjorie fell by Charlotte's side, apologizing over and over again, to the point Autumn had to stop her. 

The doctor came in and cleared Charlotte out of the hospital in 2 weeks, wanting to make sure she was fully recovered, but something shocking came to them all. The doctor explained how serious suicide was, and that he was worried for Charlotte's mental health, so once she was allowed to leave, he requested putting Charlotte in a mental hospital, or that's what Mia heard. Once the doctor left, Mia got up. "Sweetie... you aren't gonna choose to go, are you?" Reece grabbed Mia's shoulder. Mia looked confused and turned around. "Mia... I get you're excited to see her... but... you clearly zoned out and misheard..." Mia looked even more confused, waiting for Reece to continue. "Mia, it wasn't a choice." Autumn finished it for Reece. Mia looked over to Autumn. "What? What are you talking about?" Autumn walked up to Mia and pulled her in for a hug. "Charlotte's being forced to go, for about 2 weeks." Mia looked horrified. Her girlfriend had just woken up after months, and she was getting taken away for another 2 weeks? "No! No, I won't let that happen!" Mia tried to shove Autumn off her, but she never let go. Autumn knew she would react like this, and quickly handed her to Reece, who had more strength than Autumn, and Mia. Reece held Mia tight, who was still trying to fight him off, but Reece didn't let go. He knew Mia would put up a fight, so he quickly took her out of the room. Charlotte was horrified to see Mia act up. She knew Mia loved her, but to physically try to escape the grasp of someone, it hurt her. Charlotte didn't want to go, she wanted to see her girls, all her friends, but she knew it was the right choice. Mia and Reece came back in after a while, and Charlotte told Mia the good news. "I was able to talk it down to a week, so I'll be out of there in a week." Charlotte smiled and held her arms out, Mia falling right into them.

Maybe everything would turn out okay? Everyone hoped they would, but only Char knew they would.
