Autumn was never late, not even if she had a huge hangover, except from the past few weeks..
Marjorie sat at her desk, waiting anxiously for her deputy to come into work.Autumn practically busted out her front door to try and make it in on time..she didn't.
When she eventually made it to the nursery, Autumn quickly pushed the code into the door and made her way to the office, only to see a very nervous looking Marjorie, tapping her fingers on the desk. When Marjorie saw Autumn in the door way, she immediately jumped up from her seat, "Omg, Autumn, where were you?! Its been 45 minutes!!" Marjories frantic rambling wasn't helping how tired Autumn was feeling, she had, had little to no sleep the passed few weeks due to her arguing with Winter. "Autumn....?" Marjorie looked quite worried for Autumn as she had been late a few times now, "....Yes?" Autumn stared at her screen, not wanting to take her eyes off of it, ".....Are you-.......Aut, are you ok?" Autumn practically froze at the sound of Marjorie calling her 'Aut', "I- I dont know what you're talking about Marjorie..."
"Aut, I want to know what's going on with you....you haven't been yourself lately, being late to work everyday.....ignoring every word that comes out of my mouth and just...well... being a lot more cold than you usually are..." Autumn stared at her screen for a while longer before making eye-contact with Majorie, as all she can see is worry in her managers face, she just felt like breaking down into her bosses arms, but she looked back at her laptop. Just as the tears started streaming down Autumns face, Majorie got up to go to the toilet. Autumn got up and walked over to the corner of the office and sat on the floor, hugging her knees. When Marjorie came back into the office, she saw her best friend quietly sobbing in the corner and rushed over to comfort her, she was trying to comfort her as best as she could without physically touching her, as everyone knows that Autumn doesn't do physical touch, but as she felt Marjorie around her, she immediately wrapped her arms around her, sobbing into her shoulder, "Oh my lovely..." Autumn never heard Marjorie call anyone her 'lovely' before, it made her feel special, the kinda of special Winter never made her feel. Marjorie made Autumn feel.....loved, in a way no man ever did.
As Marjorie felt Autumn wrap her arms around her tighter, she notices that Auts a lot more calmer than she was 5 minutes ago. "Autumn....My Love.....Are you ok sweetheart.....?" The only thing going around in Autumns head right now was what Winter said this morning, "Autumn, do you know how pathetic you look right now?" she knew that morning, she wasn't at her strongest, but what came from her so called 'loving' boyfriend, wasn't something she'd expect from him. But as she heard Marjorie call her 'sweetheart' she immediately snapped back into reality, and realised that her arms were still wrapped around her boss, as she realised this, she quickly got up, brushing herself down and pretending that nothing happened 5 minutes ago in the corner of the office. Marjorie knew that Autumn didn't want to re-live whatever just went on in that pretty little head of hers. She knew it was wrong to poke the bear, especially when she was this vulnerable, but she didn't know how to help without asking, "Umm....My Love.....?" Autumn was trying not to break down again and fall into her 'best friends' arms, "Yes Marjorie......" Marjorie was trying too find the right way to come at this conversation, "Maejorie if your going to asked me abou-" Marjorie cut Autumns sentence off as she quickly responed with; "Autumn you don't have to tell me I don't mind.." Autumn rolled her eyes and turned to face Marjorie..."Winter and I......" She took a deep breath before continuing, "have been....arguing....the past few weeks and......its all become to much......." Marjories face quickly changes from her usually deminer to consurn in a matter of seconds, "Oh my darling....do you mind if I.....?" Marjorie motioned towards her deputy as a way of asking if she could give her a hug. "Whatever Marjorie" Marjorie gently placed her arms around Aut and hugged her tight, making sure she couldn't escape. Aut slowly melted into her touch, just as someone came into the office...."Marjorie.."
