(Reeces Pov)
It was 7pm already. Reece was finally off of his shift. Today was horrible,constantly arguing with parents. Deliah wasn't in today either so I was mainly alone,even lunch. Carly was in but had lunch with char. I didn't really need to eat, I couldn't be bothered to go and get something. I just stayed and worked. I haven't heard from anyone today. It's almost as if I've done something wrong. I haven't done anything wrong.
I pack up and get into my car to pick up Marjorie. But her car isn't there. I didn't drop her into work,and if she wasn't in Aut would've rang me. I sigh and just head home. I'm scared. She hasnt spoke to me all day. What if I've done something? I get home and see her car. Thank god. I open the door and hear Marjorie singing. I giggle a little. I walk over to the kitchen and see her. I just wrap my arms around her waist until she pushes me off. She turns around and rolls her eyes. "What?"
"Gorgeous? What's wrong?" My voice filled with concern.
"I hate you." She says,sternly. She meant it. It was over.
"But Marjorie,please."
I sigh and watch her walk away packing everything. I was going to be alone. Once again. I couldn't accept this but I can't force her to stay. "I'm sorry Reece,you've been amazing but I can't be with you,I'm unhappy. I'm so sorry Reece. Maybe in another universe. Goodbye Reece." She says while walking out of the house.
I was alone. I had no one. I could only call Mia. But what if she thinks I want her back now Marjorie's gone. I try hold back my tears but eventually I burst. I've been struggling this week,and I was going to finally open up to Marjorie,the only person I trust. But now she was gone. I continue sobbing. I can't deal with the pain. But nothing could stop it. I would never be an alcoholic because of my dad. I loved Marjorie SO much. Now she was gone. I needed a hug. Anybody's hug. I can't help but call Mia. She answers.
"Hey reecey," she says as another sob rips from my throat. "Reece?"
I can barely talk and Mia picks up her car keys. I can tell she's on her way.
(Mia's PoV)
I pull up to reeces house. Why would he call me? I unlock the door with the key Reece gave me incase of emergencies. As soon as I walk in,it looks so empty. Marjories stuff was gone. Oh god. I walk into the kitchen and see him. He's sobbing. Marjorie's left him. I take a deep breath and sit next to him. "Reecey,what's wrong sweetheart." He can't even speak before another sob rips from his throat. I throw my arms around him and he reciprocates. He sobs into my shoulder. I wish he didn't hurt like this. He never deserved it.
After an hour or so his sobs turn into sniffles. "Mia,she's gone."
I couldn't imagine what hes going through, spending 23 years with someone who is just using him to find their dad,using them to have sex with. Then finally finding the love of his life. But then she leaves. Exactly how his mum did 30 years ago. "Sweetheart what do you want to do?" I say with the softest voice I can.
"Mia,honestly I just wanna drink and smoke but I'm too scared,what if I end up becoming like my dad? I can't risk that. I don't want to leave,I would just rot in bed but I can't. I don't know what to do Mia she left." I take his hand and lead him outside.
After searching through my bag I find the box of cigarettes. Theyve been there since the Halloween ball, I only had them for fun.
I pull two out. One for reecey and one for me. He immediately accepts it. Getting a lighter out of his pocket and lighting it. I know he's been struggling recently. I take a deeper look at Reece. His eyes puffy and red. "Mia,i need her."
I sigh. "I know reecey,but you can't. I'm sorry."
He throws his arms around me. He's never hugged me so tightly. If I could fix this I could. Then I see Marjorie's car pull up. Maybe she's realised she needs him. Just as much as he needs her. She gets out of her car shocked. "Reece?"
She says her voice breaking. "You never loved me did you? You've moved on. You're gonna get with Mia!"
(Marjorie's pov)
I didn't think I loved him. Maybe I did. If I didn't would I want to cry? Nono Marjorie you don't love him. But really I did. I didn't want him with Mia.
"Marjorie I don't love Mia. Well I do but not like that marj,Marjorie I needed you. And you left. You broke up with me. We only hugged. Marjorie please. I need you."
I storm past him into the house and grab what I left. "I loved you Reece,I just fell out of love with you." I didn't, but we couldn't get back together now. He wanted Mia. Of course Mia! She's gorgeous. She can have her hair up without having a big forehead, her body's perfect along with her teeth. I hold back my tears as I drive back to autumns. Did he love me?
